"A new chapter unfolds along the Miami River. Faena Residences Miami rises as the cornerstone of a 14-acre cultural district — an environment sculpted by art, architecture, and imagination. Here, the sculptural design of Rafael Viñoly meets Faena's legacy of creativity and community. From curated gatherings to immersive design, every detail is crafted to inspire a life lived with intention and beauty."
The Project That's About to Redraw Miami's Waterfront Map
The mega-development Faena District Miami River — anchored by its crown jewel, Faena Residences Miami — marks one of the most ambitious urban transformations the Magic City has seen in decades. The play? Position the Miami River as the new cultural epicenter of the city.
This ultra-luxury development, co-led by Argentine visionary Alan Faena, replicates the wildly successful artistic revitalization blueprint already proven in Puerto Madero (Buenos Aires) and Miami Beach. But here's the twist: this isn't just another residential tower stacked on the skyline. It's been conceived as a fully integrated 14-acre cultural district — fusing public art, cutting-edge architecture, five-star hospitality, and urban design to redefine what waterfront living means in 2026.
MIAMI RIVER RENAISSANCE: A NEW CULTURAL EPICENTER WITH FAENA DISTRICT AND FAENA RESIDENCES AT ITS CORE.
Faena's First Standalone Residential Project — Ever
As Faena's first-ever standalone residential project on the Miami waterfront, this masterpiece of innovation showcases the brand's unwavering devotion to artistic vision, cultural richness, and elevated luxury — creating nothing short of a vertical oasis on the Miami skyline.
What Faena has built so far? Nothing short of extraordinary. And what's coming next along the Miami River promises to be equally hypnotic — a holistic sense of artistic and cultural community where everything becomes part of your personal space.
What the creative visionary Alan Faena first ignited in Buenos Aires, and then again in Miami Beach — turning each into its own Faena Arts District — he's now unleashing along the Miami River. Witnessing those transformations firsthand has been remarkable.
"I'm confident that what's coming on the Miami River will be just as mesmerizing — creating a complete sense of artistic and cultural community. And now, with Faena Residences along the Miami River, all of it becomes part of your personal space."
The Elegance of Riverside Living
Perched along the Miami River, Faena Residences Miami delivers a flawless fusion of urban sophistication and natural beauty. This exclusive enclave offers residents a lifestyle of effortless luxury — quiet riverside living paired with private boating, curated shopping experiences, and the kind of seamless service Faena has built its global reputation on.
Faena Residences Miami is engineered to become an iconic destination where tranquility and vitality coexist.
The two magnificent towers — connected by a dramatic Sky Bridge — were designed by the late master architect Rafael Viñoly. That bridge will host a full spectrum of experiences spanning social, wellness, and community programming.

Development Partners & Timeline
The project is being powered by a strategic alliance between Faena Group, Fortune International Group, and KAR Properties — three names that need no introduction in Miami's luxury real estate ecosystem.
Following its successful commercial launch, construction is projected to break ground in 2026, with official unit delivery and the grand inauguration of the complex slated for 2029.
Key Project Highlights
Iconic Architecture: Designed by the world-renowned Rafael Viñoly Architects — one of the final masterpieces signed by the late Uruguayan-born architect.
Tower Structure: Two soaring 68-story residential towers connected at the summit by a spectacular Sky Bridge.
Cultural Epicenter: A dedicated 45,000-square-foot space for art, culture, and collective wellness — programmed under the exclusive Faena Rose community.
Residential Offering: A total of 440 exclusive residences ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms, plus sophisticated River Lofts, Sky Lofts, and ultra-luxury penthouses.
Interior Design: Interiors signed by the prestigious Bryan O'Sullivan Studio.
Landscape Design: Lush green environments curated by globally celebrated firm Sasaki.
Strategic Location & Connectivity
Located at 90 SW 3rd Street, Faena District sits in a privileged position at the mouth of the Miami River — granting it an unbeatable geographic edge that connects directly to the dynamic financial pulse of Downtown Miami and Brickell City Centre.
The development boasts over 300 feet of direct linear riverfront and will feature a private marina — opening the door to seamless nautical access and exclusive boating experiences for its residents.
Why This Matters for Miami's Luxury Real Estate Market
Faena doesn't just build buildings — Faena builds districts that move culture forward. The Buenos Aires Puerto Madero playbook turned an industrial waterfront into Argentina's most sought-after address. The Miami Beach Faena District transformed Collins Avenue into a global art destination. Now, the Miami River is next.
For investors, collectors, and global citizens scanning the Miami map for the next high-conviction luxury play, this is the address to watch. Limited inventory. Iconic architecture. Cultural gravity. And the unmistakable Faena signature — which historically has translated into strong appreciation curves post-delivery.
The Bottom Line
The Miami River chapter of the Faena saga isn't just another luxury development — it's the third act of a global cultural trilogy that has consistently redefined the cities it touches. From Buenos Aires to Miami Beach to the Miami River, Alan Faena's blueprint remains the same: art first, community always, architecture forever.
By 2029, the Miami River won't just be a body of water cutting through the city. It'll be the new cultural artery of the Magic City.
