Miami Neighborhood Comparison: Key Biscayne vs Brickell

One of the key advantages of living in Miami is its wide variety of neighborhoods to choose from. From luxury towers overlooking secluded beaches to modern skyscrapers in the heart of the urban jungle, there’s a place for every need and desire. Two Miami neighborhoods that best exemplify both ends of this spectrum are Key Biscayne and Brickell. Not only do they differ in the housing options and price points they have available, but their particular dynamics also offer vastly different lifestyles, perks, and sceneries. And yet they are very close to each other. In this blog, we'll compare both locales in several categories so you can make an informed decision when choosing to buy or rent a property if you’re considering Key Biscayne vs Brickell.

IG Luxury is a joint venture between developers BH3 Management and Merrimac Ventures. Under the approved terms, the developer will pay $29 million for the 3.2-acre parcel at 888 MacArthur Causeway, an additional $9 million as public benefits earmarked for affordable housing and infrastructure improvements, and fund $4 million to release state deed restrictions. BH3-Merrimac also control an additional 10.8-acre site under a ground lease and will continue paying rent to the city for the 7.6-acre portion not included in the sale. IG Luxury previously proposed building about 100 condos, approximately 220,000 square feet of office, retail space, and two hotels as part of Watson Harbour. In exchange, the duo agreed to extend the lease on the rest of the site by 24 years, expand the bayfront public promenade to 1,000 feet, and maintain the existing marina. The deal has been called controversial because a November appraisal had valued the waterfront parcel between $257 million and $342 million. However, the developers have argued that an existing long-term lease on the property significantly depresses its market value. ### Helm Design District – Design District **Groundbreaking – Q4 2025 | Completion – 2.5 years from breaking ground** Approved by the Miami Urban Development Review Board (UDRB), developer Helm Equities can now move forward with its plans to build a 36-story tower.

Designed by Cube3, the tower will feature a mix of 162 condo units and 116 rental apartments filed under the Live Local Act. The condo units will range from 1,327 to 3,296 square feet. Condo residents will have access to a separate rooftop pool and amenity deck on the 18th floor. There will also be an eight-story western tower, which will house about 101,000 square feet of office space and 56,000 square feet of commercial-retail. It will also feature a rooftop event space and terrace. While the project has the green light to proceed, voters advised the developer to further refine the ground-floor facade and explore additional ways to break up the building’s mass. ## — Miami Pre-Construction Condos: Planned/Proposed ### Branded Condo and Hotel by OKO, Oak Row, and Mariposa – Brickell Purchasing a 4.25-acre waterfront assemblage in Brickell for a county record of $520 million, developers OKO Group and Oak Row Equities simultaneously announced plans to build a branded, waterfront condo and hotel. Located at 1001 and 1111 Brickell Bay Drive, the parcel sits on 485 feet of bay frontage and is within easy walking distance of Brickell City Centre. The only remaining waterfront site of this scale in Brickell, the assemblage is currently home to a 32-story office building built in 1985 and a 31-story apartment complex built in 1998\. Zoning allows for the development of multiple towers rising to 1,049 feet, with about 3 million square feet of total buildable space. Developer OKO Group added that given the location and scale of the site, it calls for an iconic mixed-use development that would become the next benchmark for design, wellness, and luxury hospitality. Joining Oak Row and Mariposa Real Estate in the landmark deal, OKO Group is speculated to bring its internationally acclaimed Aman hospitality brand to power the first phase of development as a condo-hotel. ### 87-story Condo-Hotel by RFR Realty – Downtown Miami New York City-based RFR Realty filed plans to build a mixed-use, condo-hotel supertall at the assemblage spanning 130 Biscayne Boulevard, 146 Biscayne Boulevard, and 141 NE 3rd Avenue in Downtown this December. The team is seeking approvals under the Metromover Subzone, which would allow the project higher density, streamlined permitting, and additional incentives tied to transit-oriented developments. Designed by Foster + Partners in partnership with Revuelta Architecture, the 87-story tower will rise across from Bayfront Park. Its 414 condo residences will occupy floors 31 through to the top floor and feature one- to three-bedroom floor plans. These will be positioned to offer maximum bay and skyline views.

Additionally, the structure will feature 495 parking spots, 1,895 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, and two basement levels reserved for storage. ### 30-story Luxury Condo by MG and Prosper – North Bay Village Filing their application with the county’s Shoreline Development Review Committee, partners MG Developer and Prosper Group confirmed plans to build a 30-story luxury condo.

Located at 700 and 750 Northeast 61st Street, the parcel is within walking distance of Cushman School, a farmer’s market, and Morningside Park. It currently houses two older apartment mid-rises. Designed by Brandon Haw Architecture, the five-story construction will offer only 17 luxury residences, along with four optional nanny or in-law flats. The condo units will range from a generous 4,200 to 7,700 square feet, with interiors by Thomas Schoos’ design firm. Amenities will likely include an infinity-edge pool and a residents’ lounge. Sales are expected to launch by summer, with prices averaging $2,500 per square foot.

Additional amenities will include a rooftop pool, a rooftop bar and lounge with an outdoor kitchen, a rooftop gym with lush green views, and an exclusive spa with treatment rooms. Each unit will have at least 2 parking spaces available. _Prices start at $3.1 million, with a choice of three- and four-bedroom residences._ ## — Miami Pre-Construction Condos: Watchlist ### Cirrus Real Estate’s Bid for Holiday Inn Port of Miami – Downtown Miami The 200-room Holiday Inn Port of Miami-Downtown has landed in troubled waters as owning entities, managed by Brazilian developer Gilberto Bomeny, have asked to dismiss Cirrus Real Estate Funding's $77 million winning credit bid, alleging foul play. The Bomeny entities are asking the federal bankruptcy judge to reschedule the bid, citing flaws in the auction process. Regardless of the outcome, the nearly one-acre site at 340 Biscayne Boulevard remains a highly coveted redevelopment opportunity. Home to the aging Holiday Inn hotel, the property sits across from the Bayfront Park and in proximity to Downtown’s top destinations. Zoning allows for the development of an 82-story mixed-use tower with 950,000 square feet of sellable space on the site. The owner before Bomeny was already approved to build “Regalia on the Bay” designed by Arquitectonica, which would feature 374 condo units, 120 hotel rooms, retail and office space, plus 500 parking spaces.

Video: Inside Edgewater’s Villa Miami: Watch Our Exclusive Interview & Project Highlights

What if villa living came with luxury condo conveniences, uninterrupted bay views, club-style amenities, and a Lake Como-inspired lifestyle? Villa Miami offers all this, and then some, all on Miami’s crystal bayfront. Speaking with Sales Executive Dario Stoka at the Villa Miami luxurious sales gallery, Sep Niakan—Miami luxury real estate expert and Founding Broker of Blackbook Properties and condoblackbook.com—brings to light everything that sets this waterfront mecca of luxury a class apart. In this Villa Miami video interview, we give you an inside look at the stunning full-size chef’s kitchen you would come home to, designed by Mario Carbone, with all of the finishes and fixtures, a breakdown of the customizable layouts, and a detailed view of the scale model for a clearer sense of the floor plan layouts, along with the entire vision behind Villa Miami. A striking, copper-clad exoskeleton will make this an iconic addition to Edgewater’s skyline, and the 55-story Villa Miami introduces a collection of residences rarely found in a single condo building. From only half- and full-floor layouts to home kitchens designed by a Michelin-starred chef, 30,000 square feet of club-style amenities, a private club, hospitality by Major Food Group, a rooftop helipad, a private boat dock, and an exclusive beach club in South Beach’s exclusive South of Fifth neighborhood—this is world-class waterfront living in the heart of Miami. With 65% of units already pre-sold, only limited inventory remains at Villa Miami with prices starting at: * $5.5 million for a half-floor * $10 million for a full-floor, and * $27 million for a duplex sky villa residence. ### An Ultra-luxury Lifestyle Inspired by Lake Como From their choice of hospitality partner to every aspect of daily living, the developers of Villa Miami keep you front and center in your residential experience, all inspired by the finest of Italian living. With Major Food Group (MFG) at the helm, you can expect the same level of care and attention to detail as they deliver at their world-class restaurants and private clubs. The celebrated hospitality group will oversee services across all of the amenity spaces and operate the on-site restaurant, which will also provide in-unit dining services, and the private, members-only Copper Club. As you’ll see in our Villa Miami video, even your arrival makes a statement here. However you choose to come home—via helicopter, boat, or chauffeured car—Villa Miami welcomes you to your best life. The high-rise features Edgewater’s first rooftop helipad, the neighborhood’s only grandfathered boat dock with a one-year boat membership included for owners, and two Villa Escalades for complimentary car service that can take you anywhere within a seven-mile radius, any time of day. That floating pool on the bay, which features the boat dock, brings a touch of Lake Como to Miami. And Villa Miami’s five-story amenity podium will be home to an incredible 30,000 square feet of indulgences that you will not find anywhere else, all intended to feel “convivial” and at-once relaxed sophistication, putting every amenity you could desire at your doorstep. The tower’s Copper Club will be a private owners’ club similar to the highly successful ZZ's Club in New York and Miami. The signature restaurant, a fully equipped fitness center, and a full-scale spa, complete with hot and cold plunges, an infrared sauna, a steam room, a relaxation room, and a spa pool will certainly elevate your everyday life. Your Italian-style beach club will be just a drive away. Villa Miami developers Terra Group and MFG are partnering with the Boucher Brothers on a $30 million renovation of Nikki Beach, transforming it into “Major Beach.” Located in South Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood, this reimagined beach club will feature three restaurants, curated retail, a spa, and, of course, a private expanse reserved exclusively for Villa Miami owners and your guests. ### European Villa-style Interiors with a Zaha Hadid-inspired Structure Villa Miami offers only 64 standalone villa-sized condos in (currently) customizable three- and four-bedroom configurations. Their smallest half-floor unit starts at 3,000 square feet, with the largest penthouse spanning the top three floors of the building. ODP Architecture delivers a copper-colored reinterpretation of Zaha Hadid’s iconic exoskeleton design seen in Downtown’s One Thousand Museum. The concrete structure, wrapped in copper-hued aluminum, reduces the need for interior columns while providing effective wind protection to the tower’s deep balconies—ranking high in aesthetics and functionality. Delivering all the true hallmarks of luxury living in Miami, you have 10-foot and higher ceilings, flow-through floor plans with a minimum of two, 9-10-foot deep balconies, and water views from almost every room, including your bathroom. Vicky Charles, an acclaimed AD100 interior designer, infuses all living and common areas with her vision of big city villas in Europe. Expect use of rich textures, wood and porcelain flooring throughout, oversized stone soaking tubs in the baths easily fitting for two people, fluted glass enclosures, and an intentional mix of silver and gold metal accents to deliver warmth and classic elegance. And, Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur Mario Carbone has designed the kitchens to be truly chef-worthy and give everything its “proper place.” Expect La Cornue CornuFé gas ranges, extremely rare in Miami, with a pot filler conveniently placed for pasta lovers, two Sub-Zero refrigerators and freezers, fluted glass cabinetry for a clear view of items, and a pantry. Further, Vicky Charles offers a choice of two color schemes to make the space truly yours. ### Edgewater, Miami Location: Central to It All Living at Villa Miami, you are minutes from the Design District, a Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, enjoying easy access to everything from couture boutiques to everyday conveniences and open-air cafés to fine-dining restaurants. You also have unmatched connectivity to South Beach via the scenic Venetian Causeway. When you’re living in Edgewater, Miami, the world-class performances at the Adrienne Arsht Center will be merely a walk or 5-minute drive away, the Miami International Airport will be a 20-minute drive, and business at Brickell will be a 25-minute drive from home. Ready to secure your waterfront “villa” in the sky that pairs world-class living with centrality and compelling dollar-per-square-foot value? We’re the preconstruction experts you want on your side.
