A significant new chapter is unfolding in Miami’s luxury real estate landscape with the unveiling of Kempinski Residences Miami Design District, a landmark project that introduces one of Europe’s most storied hospitality brands to the U.S. residential market for the first time.
Developed by DaGrosa Capital Development Partners, this project places refined, service-driven living at the gateway to the Miami Design District—an area internationally recognized for its concentration of art, fashion, architecture, and cultural influence.
A European Luxury Brand Arrives in Miami
Founded in 1897, Kempinski is Europe’s oldest independent luxury hotel group, known for its understated elegance and deeply personalized service philosophy. Its decision to debut branded residences in Miami reflects both the city’s global appeal and the Design District’s evolution from a retail and cultural destination into a true residential neighborhood.
This marks Kempinski’s first branded residential offering in the United States, positioning the project as a rare opportunity for buyers seeking European hospitality standards within a contemporary Miami context.
Project Overview & Architecture
The development spans two prime parcels at 3801 and 3883 Biscayne Boulevard, forming a prominent entry point into the Design District. The project comprises two 20-storey residential towers, delivering a total of 132 private residences, complemented by six townhomes and 17 guest suites reserved exclusively for residents.
Architecture is led by Arquitectonica, whose modern, expressive design language is well established across Miami’s skyline. Interiors are curated by Rockwell Group, while landscape architecture is designed by Enea. Together, the team has created a cohesive vision that balances Kempinski’s European heritage with the Design District’s bold, contemporary character.
Residences range from two- to four-bedroom layouts, with interiors spanning approximately 2,100 to 3,100 square feet, and select homes offering up to 3,700 square feet of total living space. Expansive terraces are a defining feature, framing views of Biscayne Bay, the Downtown Miami skyline, and the surrounding cultural district.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Kempinski Residences Miami Design District is designed as a fully serviced residential environment, blending private living with hotel-calibre amenities. An elevated amenity bridge connects the two towers, serving as the social and wellness heart of the project.
Key lifestyle offerings include:
-
A comprehensive wellness centre with spa facilities, fitness studios, lap pool, cold plunge, infrared sauna, and steam rooms
-
Indoor and outdoor dining venues, including private dining rooms and social lounges
-
A library, wine and game lounges, and a private screening room
-
Family-friendly spaces such as children’s play areas and splash zones
-
Padel courts, along with golf and Formula 1 simulators for leisure and entertainment
All services will be managed by Kempinski, ensuring a hospitality-led residential experience defined by discretion, precision, and personalized attention—an increasingly sought-after differentiator in Miami’s luxury condominium market.
Positioning Within the Miami Market
As branded residences continue to attract global buyers, Kempinski Residences Miami Design District stands apart through its European lineage, architectural credibility, and emphasis on long-term livability rather than transient luxury.
Situated steps from world-class galleries, fashion houses, and cultural programming, the project reinforces the Design District’s transformation into a full-time residential destination—one that appeals to internationally mobile buyers seeking both cultural immersion and refined service.
Construction is anticipated to reach completion in Q4 2029, positioning this development as one of the most closely watched luxury residential launches in Miami’s next market cycle.
