Faena Residences Miami debuts as a landmark residential project along the Miami River in Brickell. The development brings a global luxury brand into one of the city’s fastest transforming waterfront corridors. Two, 68-story towers rise directly from the river and establish a new standard for branded residential living in Miami.
The project anchors the Faena District Miami River, a 14-acre master planned environment designed around culture, wellness and long-term lifestyle value. Ownership here connects buyers to a global Faena ecosystem rather than a standalone condominium tower.

Faena Brickell’s Location and Waterfront Settings
Faena Residences Miami sits along 327 feet of Miami River frontage. The site provides direct access to the river while remaining minutes from Brickell City Centre, Downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay. This location places residents at the center of commerce and finance while maintaining privacy and water views.
Key location highlights include:
- Direct Miami River frontage
- Private dock access for yacht pickup and drop off
- Proximity to Brickell financial district
- Fast access to Biscayne Bay and open water
- Central position between Downtown and Brickell
Riverfront land remains limited in supply. As Brickell continues to expand westward, waterfront sites along the Miami River gain strategic importance. This scarcity supports long term demand among global buyers seeking irreplaceable locations.
Faena Brickell’s Architecture, Development and Design Team
Overview

Architecture comes from Rafael Viñoly Architects. The project stands among the final works by the late architect. The design features two riverfront towers connected by a sky bridge suspended 700 feet above the water. This structure defines the skyline while creating functional interior space for residents
