888 Brickell By Dolce & Gabbana Releases New Renderings And Details Of Their New Supertall Tower

After garnering approval from the FAA to built to a staggering height of 1,049 feet above Brickell Avenue, JDS Development and Dolce & Gabbana have released new details on their first real estate project in the United States.

A Unique Condo Hotel Offering

888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana is not only the first collaboration between JDS and the eponymous fashion house, it is also the first tower of flexible condo/hotel residences that can be simultaneously rented and enjoyed by the owners. Not to be confused with a typical condo/hotel which allows owners to participate in a hotel program when not in use by the owners themselves, owners at 888 Brickell can actually transform their residences into hotel rooms as well as a hotel suite.

This Grand Private Residence allows for a minimum of two ensuite bedrooms plus a powder room as well as a great room with access to a large loggia with an outdoor kitchen. The secondary bedrooms are able to transform into standalone hotel rooms when needed through exterior doors to a private foyer, and the separate primary bedroom combined with the great room operating as either a residence or a hotel suite.

Through a statement Alfonso Dolce, CEO at Dolce & Gabbana said, “After the launch of our Casa Collection in 2021, it was natural to follow with a hotel and residential strategy ensuring the very best of Italian hospitality. For us, the cultural vibrancy of Miami is the perfect backdrop for our world debut in the real estate sector with ‘fatto a mano’ (handmade) craftsmanship at its heart. The project will embody the very essence of the Dolce&Gabbana universe – a luxurious, timeless design experience.”

The Design

As the project moves through the planning phase, we are also learning more about the interior design concept and amenities that are coming to fruition.

Michael Stern’s JDS Development Team has chosen Milan’s M2Atelier Studio to harness the ideas from Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for the interiors and bring them to life. Their bespoke minimalist style has traveled from Milan throughout the world on some of the most prestigious yachts and into high-design buildings through architecture, design and even furniture design.

With sumptuous palettes of black marble and bookmatched burgandy marble under dramatic handmade Venetian chandeliers, the interior design is expected to fully embody the couture brand for an elevated experience throughout the lavish project. The fashion house’s signature leopard print is worked into the design through glamorous textiles and custom-made furniture.

The Amenities

Within the new super-tall tower, the ample list of amenity offerings begins with a host of private food and beverage options. Residents and guests of 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana will enjoy a total of six food and beverage outlets. These include a signature restaurant on the ground level, two bars in the expansive grand lobby, the 888 Pool Club restaurant and bar is inviting for day-to-night alfresco dining with a gelateria and a palette of rich green terrazzo and green and white striped lounge chairs. For more private gatherings, there will be a demo kitchen and private dining.

Wellness amenities will be equally thorough with a fitness center, golf simulator, 44′ lap pool as well as yoga and pilates studios. A recovery spa will be a welcome oasis of serenity in the city with a thoughtfully curated menu of massages and spa therapies that include facials, IV therapy, thermal circuits, a juice bar and a barber shop.

Lounging amenities are also included in the form of a private theater/screening room, lounge, billiard’s room, a children’s playroom, and a comprehensive business center.

Developer Michael Stern, Founder and CEO of JDS Development said, “The global real estate spotlight is shining on Miami and Brickell, in particular due to many prominent businesses relocating to the area. This extraordinary, branded condo hotel for Miami will ensure that the demand for world leading, design led spaces with unparalleled views can be fulfilled; we are extremely proud to launch the collaboration with Dolce&Gabbana in this iconic tower. The fashion house’s pursuit of quality and detail in design — together with their ability to create a beautiful world of authentic lifestyle filled with incredible hospitality — guarantees we are embarking on a successful, creative journey for our future visitors, guests, and residents alike.”

Dolce & Gabbana Teams Up With Michael Stern In Brickell

 
Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking. Not in Miami, where residential developers partner with chic luxury fashion brands to build luxury branded buildings such as Fendi Chateau, Missoni Baia, Armani Casa and now, Dolce & Gabbana.

It has been revealed via a Linkedin post that the Italian fashion house is making its real estate debut with Michael Stern in Miami. While the project and neighborhood are not disclosed, those who watch the Miami development scene closely will remember that Stern’s JDS Development has a sizable project in the works in Brickell that also recently lost its brand partner.

Musical Towers (vs Musical Chairs)

For those who have not been following, Michael Stern’s JDS Development announced last summer that they would be developing a 90-story tower in Miami’s Brickell Financial District under a partnership with Major Food Group. It was to be the first real estate development by the entertainment conglomerate, called The Major. After the release development continued, although something fell apart in the partnership between JDS and Major. The tower was granted approval for the 90-story height, but no new partnership was announced.

We had assumed that Major Food Group determined that it is not the time for them to expand into real estate development, but just last week they teamed up with Terra Group and the developers of 1000 Museum on The Villa Residences in Edgewater. The reasoning really isn’t important, it could have been that MFG was looking for a different neighborhood feel, a project with fewer units, something with a different foodservice opportunity, maybe they wanted a project with waterfront vs water view, or even a personality conflict. Nobody knows and it really isn’t the important point to take from this news. Our feeling is that there is plenty of opportunity in Miami for everyone who wants to participate, so we are eager to hear what is in store for Dolce & Gabbana!

The Right Fit

It is still unclear what changes will be made to 888 Brickell upon the release of the new partnership, but in looking at the current set of renderings, they already coordinate nicely with the Dolce & Gabbana aesthetic. With loads of gold, gleaming natural light and a heaping spoonful of drama, it looks to be a match made in heaven.

We are keeping our ear to the ground and will be sure to keep you informed as the plans unfold.
