After spending years guiding clients through Miami's most competitive luxury developments, I can say without hesitation that very few projects carry the cultural weight — and the genuine investment potential — of Delano Residences & Hotel Miami. This isn't just another branded tower. The Delano name has been synonymous with Miami's identity since 1947, and this new 90-story supertall is its most ambitious evolution yet.
Developed by Property Markets Group (PMG), the same firm behind the landmark Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami, Delano Residences & Hotel Miami will rise as Miami's second supertall tower in the heart of Downtown. If you're researching this development — whether you're a buyer, investor, or simply watching the Miami skyline take shape — I want to give you the most complete, honest picture I can.
Delano Residences & Hotel Miami is a fully finished and furnished luxury condominium and hotel tower rising 90 stories at a prime Downtown Miami address. It represents the first-ever Delano residential tower in the world — a significant milestone for a brand that has defined luxury hospitality culture for nearly eight decades.
The project is developed by 4th and Biscayne Trustee, LLC under the PMG umbrella, with the iconic Delano brand licensed from Delano US Opco, LLC. The result is a building that blends the heritage and lifestyle cachet of the Delano brand with PMG's track record of delivering world-class supertall towers in Miami.
From my experience advising clients on Miami pre-construction, this pairing of brand pedigree and developer credibility is exactly what separates blue-chip developments from the crowd.
What immediately sets Delano Residences Miami apart is the caliber of talent assembled for the project:
The tower's façade takes its inspiration from the movement of a flame — a flowing, curved silhouette that will be instantly recognizable on Miami's skyline. The building is conceived as a vertical resort, layering lifestyle experiences from ground level all the way to its crown, including Miami's first-ever observation deck with 360° panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and the city skyline.
As someone who has toured dozens of pre-construction developments across Miami, I can tell you: the combination of Carlos Ott's conceptual vision and Meyer Davis's interiors creates a residential aesthetic that is genuinely unique — not a replication of any other tower in the market.
Every residence at Delano Residences & Hotel Miami arrives fully finished and furnished, designed by Meyer Davis with curated bespoke finishes. This is a turn-key luxury product — ideal for international buyers, investors seeking a rental-ready asset, or end-users who want to step directly into a five-star lifestyle.

In my view, the inclusion of Sub-Zero/Wolf and Waterworks at this price point is the standard buyers should expect — and Delano delivers it without compromise.
The amenity program at Delano Residences Miami reads more like a five-star resort than a residential tower — which is precisely the point. Residents don't just own a home; they access an entire ecosystem of lifestyle, culture, and service.

For buyers weighing Delano Residences against other branded towers in Downtown Miami, the combination of the Rose Bar legacy, the Members Club access, and the beach club tie-in at Miami Beach makes this lifestyle offering genuinely difficult to replicate.
Buyers often focus on the brand and design — but in pre-construction real estate, the developer is everything. PMG has been transforming skylines since 1991, with a portfolio that spans luxury condominiums, hospitality, commercial, and affordable housing across Miami, New York, Denver, Nashville, and Atlanta.
In Miami specifically, PMG is best known for the Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Miami — the city's first supertall, which has set a new benchmark for luxury branded living. Their decision to pursue a second supertall with the Delano brand is a strong signal of both PMG's confidence in Downtown Miami and the market's appetite for this tier of product.
For my clients evaluating pre-construction risk, PMG's track record is one of the cleanest in the market.
I've been working in Miami luxury real estate long enough to recognize the difference between a development that generates buzz and one that delivers genuine long-term value. Delano Residences & Hotel Miami sits firmly in the second category, for several reasons:
That said, every pre-construction investment deserves careful due diligence — on pricing, contract terms, deposit structure, and your personal timeline. That's exactly where I come in.
Navigating a pre-construction purchase at this level requires more than a brochure. It requires someone who knows the Miami luxury market inside and out — who can tell you how Delano compares to Waldorf Astoria, Una, Cipriani, or any other tower you're evaluating, and who can guide you through pricing, contract terms, and timing with full transparency.
I'm Gina Kirkpatrick, and I specialize in Miami luxury new development and pre-construction — with a particular focus on Downtown Miami, Brickell, the Design District, and Miami Beach. Whether you're a first-time Miami buyer or expanding an existing portfolio, I can give you an honest, expert perspective on whether Delano Residences is the right fit for your goals.
