Smart Brickell – Brickell

With the first of its three-building project sold out, developers have launched sales for the second tower at Smart Brickell. Just like the first tower, the second tower too features 50 hotel rooms and 50 condos. The project prides itself on having a flexible short-term rental program, giving residents the freedom to rent out 24 times a year (twice a month).

Proposed

Diesel Living – Wynwood

Another brand-backed condo building is gearing up to make Miami home. Italian fashion brand, Diesel plans on bringing its first-ever residential project to Wynwood. With plans submitted to the Wynwood Design Review Committee, the condo building is expected to feature 143 loft-style condos and 24,000 sq. ft. of ground floor retail. Developed in partnership with Bel Invest, sales are expected to launch early next year, once all approvals are in place.

Duos – Wynwood

Plans have been submitted to the Wynwood Design Review Committee for approval of this eight-story condo-hotel. The proposed building will feature 51 rooms, 3,000 sq. ft. of retail or restaurant and a Tetris-style façade. The interlocking blocks of the exterior are designed to emulate the popular 80s video game with perforated metal panes and art murals by rotating artists covering the façade.
