Homes.com News reported the launch of presales for Kempinski Residences Miami Design District, marking Kempinski’s first branded residential project in the United States. The development brings the Swiss hospitality brand to the gateway of The Miami Design District™, pairing its international service culture with a new residential presence overlooking Biscayne Bay.
The project is planned as two 23-story residential towers with 64 residences per tower, for 128 residences in total, along with six private townhomes and 20 guest suites. Homes.com News reported residences priced from $3.7 million to approximately $7 million, with penthouses expected to exceed $30 million. The publication also reported a projected opening in late 2029 and noted that pricing for the townhomes had not yet been released.
The development is located at 3801 and 3883 Biscayne Boulevard on a 2.7-acre site. Current project materials identify Biscayne Residences Holdings LLC as the developer, with DaGrosa Capital Development Partners associated with the development team. Architecture is by Arquitectonica, and approximately 70,000 square feet of amenities are planned across the two towers, including a signature fourth-floor amenity bridge connecting the residential experience.
Homes.com News places the launch within the broader transformation of The Miami Design District™, tracing the neighborhood’s evolution from a warehouse area into a destination for retail, art, architecture and dining. The article also situates the neighborhood just north of Wynwood, another Miami area shaped by a significant arts-led transformation. Within that context, Kempinski Residences Miami Design District is presented as one of the early residential projects contributing to the neighborhood’s next phase.
Walkability is a central part of that appeal. Ben DaGrosa told Homes.com News, “Buyers want to live in a neighborhood that’s walkable.” The article notes that the development team expects interest from New York, California and Latin America, reflecting both Miami’s international buyer base and Kempinski’s established global presence.
The report also considers the project against conditions in the broader Miami-Dade housing market. While the publication describes continued strength in the ultraluxury segment, it notes that the wider market had softened, with fewer sales and lower prices in May compared with the prior year, according to Homes.com market data. DaGrosa nevertheless expressed confidence in the long-term resilience of Miami’s luxury residential market.
For Kempinski Residences Miami Design District, the launch reflects a broader convergence of hospitality, design and place. The project’s position at the gateway to The Miami Design District™ connects the neighborhood’s cultural and architectural relevance with Biscayne Bay views and a hospitality-led approach to ownership—an alignment that gives the brand’s U.S. residential debut a distinctly Miami context.
