Mandarin Oriental Miami and St. Regis Residences Miami are the two names I get asked to compare most at the top of the Brickell market, and they are much less alike than the brands suggest. One is two new towers on the tip of Brickell Key delivering around 2030. The other is a single tower on Brickell Avenue that is already past the 40th floor and delivering in 2027.
Every figure below comes from the developers' own September 2026 price sheets and brochures. Prices move as residences sell, so treat them as where things stand this month, not a quote.
Where are Mandarin Oriental Miami and St. Regis Residences located?
Mandarin Oriental Miami is on the southern tip of Brickell Key, the island connected to Brickell by a single bridge, replacing the original Mandarin Oriental hotel. St. Regis Residences Miami is at 1809 Brickell Avenue on the South Brickell bayfront, on the mainland.
Brickell Key is quieter and more enclosed: you are on an island with a bridge between you and the city. 1809 Brickell puts you on the avenue itself, walking distance to South Brickell restaurants and a short drive to the financial district. Both are directly on the bay.
Who is developing each project?
Mandarin Oriental Miami is developed by Swire Properties, which built Brickell City Centre and developed Brickell Key itself. St. Regis Residences Miami is developed by Related Group together with Integra Investments.
Design teams
Mandarin Oriental: architecture by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), interiors by Tristan Auer for the South Tower and Laura Gonzalez for the North Tower. St. Regis: architecture by Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), interiors by Rockwell Group, landscape by the Swiss firm Enea Garden Design.
How big are the two projects?
Mandarin Oriental has two towers. The South Tower is 66 stories with 228 residences, two to five bedrooms. The North Tower is 33 stories with 70 private residences and 28 turnkey Hotel Collection units, alongside the Mandarin Oriental hotel. St. Regis is one 50-story tower with 152 residences, from two to six bedrooms plus penthouses, sky villas and townhomes.
St. Regis brochure layouts give a sense of scale: Residence D is a two-bedroom of 2,616 square feet, Residence C a three-bedroom of 2,987 square feet, and Residences A and B four-bedrooms of about 3,700 square feet, each with a private elevator foyer.
How do prices compare?
Per the developer sheets of September 2026, Mandarin Oriental North Tower private residences run from $4,050,000 to $7,850,000 and South Tower residences from $7,050,000 to $14,200,000; penthouses are priced separately. St. Regis Residences Miami runs from $7,260,000 to $24,490,000 per the September 11, 2026 price list.
So the entry point is very different. Under about $7 million the only choice between these two is the Mandarin Oriental North Tower. Above that, compare the specific residences side by side: a South Tower Mandarin Oriental home and a St. Regis three or four-bedroom are the real competitors.
Deposit schedules
Mandarin Oriental: 10% at contract, 10% 90 days later, 10% at groundbreaking, 10% at top-off and 60% at closing, estimated 2030. St. Regis: the deposit terms depend on the residence and stage, so ask for the schedule attached to the current price list before you compare cash outlays.
Where does construction stand?
St. Regis is under construction and has reached the 40th floor, with delivery anticipated in 2027. At Mandarin Oriental the demolition of the original hotel has concluded, both towers break ground next and completion is estimated for 2030. That three-year gap is the biggest practical difference for most buyers: one is a near-term move, the other is a longer pre-construction hold.
What amenities does each building offer?
Mandarin Oriental plans about 80,000 square feet of amenities across both towers: an Ocean Pool with cabanas, a Lagoon Pool with private casitas, the Mandarin Oriental spa, a Technogym fitness atelier, pickleball, squash and basketball courts, a golf simulator, a screening lounge and a business lounge, plus the hotel's services next door.
St. Regis has about 50,000 square feet: an on-site restaurant by chef Fabio Trabocchi, two bayfront pools and an indoor lap pool, a wellness spa by The Wright Fit, a 31st-floor sky bar, the Cognac Room and Drawing Room, a pickleball court, a private marina and beach club access. Every residence includes St. Regis Signature Butler Service.
Can you rent a residence short term?
This is where buyers get it wrong. St. Regis Residences Miami is purely residential: no hotel guests and no short-term rentals. At Mandarin Oriental, only the 28 Hotel Collection units in the North Tower can join the Mandarin Oriental rental program; the private residences in both towers cannot. No rental income is promised at either building, and I would not buy either one on a rental assumption.
Which one is right for you?
Mandarin Oriental Miami fits if you
- Want Brickell Key and a hotel brand next door
- Are comfortable with a 2030 delivery
- Want an entry point from about $4 million in the North Tower
- Want the option of a Hotel Collection unit in a rental program
St. Regis Residences Miami fits if you
- Want to move in around 2027
- Want a purely residential building with butler service
- Are looking at large two to six-bedroom homes from $7.26 million
- Want to be on Brickell Avenue rather than on the island
