Anantara's North American debut - 220 branded residences in a 650-foot KPF tower on Biscayne Bay
Anantara Residences Miami is the first residential project in North America to carry the Anantara name, developed by One Thousand Group on a two-acre site at 3601 Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater. The tower is designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox under lead designer Robert Whitlock, with ODP Architecture & Design as architect of record and interiors by Studio Patricia Urquiola of Milan. Anantara is operated by Minor Hotels, a platform of more than 500 properties across 50 countries; this is the brand's entry point into the United States.
The building rises 50 storeys and 650 feet on a stepped podium, arranged so that hospitality, serviced residences and private ownership occupy distinct vertical bands: 50 hotel suites on levels 8 to 10, 120 resort residences on levels 11 to 23, and 100 private condominium residences on levels 24 to 46, with penthouses on levels 47 to 49 and a private helipad at level 50. The podium is wrapped in a precision-crafted metal lattice derived from the geometry of the palm frond, and orientation was set to carry daylight through the residences and across the amenity decks below. Studio Urquiola's interiors work in warm, tactile materials and layered texture rather than gloss, treating each residence as an environment to be inhabited slowly.
The site sits at the meeting point of four separate Miami districts. The Miami Design District is a five-minute walk; Wynwood is six minutes by bicycle; Midtown is a three-minute drive; and the Julia Tuttle Causeway carries directly across Biscayne Bay to Miami Beach. The Pérez Art Museum Miami and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts are both within a ten-minute drive. These are not amenities attached to the building - they are established institutions whose presence fixes the value of this stretch of Biscayne Boulevard independently of any single development.
This is not simply a branded condominium with a spa. It is a hospitality-operated wellness building where the Anantara service model, a 30,000 square foot longevity and diagnostics facility, and private ownership share the same address.
The experience here is one of decompression - the deliberate removal of the city before you reach your own front door. Arrival happens through an experiential motor court and a water curtain rather than a lobby door, with separate secure entrances for residents, resort guests and hotel guests. From there the sequence moves upward through planted courtyards, lily ponds and shaded pavilions to residential levels that begin above the amenity podium, so no private residence sits at street level or shares a corridor with hotel circulation.
Patricia Urquiola's approach was not to impose a signature but to hold two climates in the same room: Miami's radiant light and humidity on one side, Anantara's Thai vocabulary of ritual and restraint on the other. Materials are chosen for how they age and how they feel under the hand - stone, timber, woven texture, deep terraces that extend the plan outdoors rather than framing a view from behind glass. Ceilings and proportions are generous, and circadian lighting control is built in rather than added, which matters more over a decade of ownership than any single finish does.
What the building is finally selling is the removal of friction between intention and daily life: the gym, the diagnostics, the food and the service are all inside the envelope, which is what changes behaviour over years rather than weeks.
Anantara Residences Miami occupies a positioning gap that is structurally difficult to reproduce in this market.
First, brand scarcity. Anantara operates roughly 60 hotels and resorts across 24 countries and has done so for 25 years, but has never before placed a residential product in the United States. A first entry cannot be repeated; whatever follows in the US will be a second building, and Miami's other branded towers already carry European hospitality names rather than a Southeast Asian one.
Second, the wellness infrastructure is clinical rather than cosmetic. Most Miami towers describe a spa. This building dedicates an entire 30,000 square foot floor to diagnostics, longevity protocols, hyperbaric and cryotherapy, IV therapy and traditional Thai medicine, staffed and programmed by the operator. That is a capital and operational commitment that cannot be retrofitted into a completed building.
Third, land constraint. Two contiguous acres on Biscayne Boulevard, with direct bay frontage across the boulevard and causeway access to Miami Beach, is not an assemblage that appears repeatedly in Edgewater. Adjacent parcels are already built or held.
Fourth, architectural authorship. KPF's residential work in the United States is limited relative to its commercial portfolio, and Studio Urquiola has completed very few residential towers anywhere. The pairing is specific to this project.
Fifth, district permanence. The Miami Design District, Wynwood and the Arsht Center are the product of two decades of private and institutional capital that is already spent and already operating. The neighbourhood's cultural weight is not a forecast.
This is not simply a wellness-branded address. It is an operating hospitality and longevity platform that happens to include private freehold ownership.
The investment case rests on structural positioning rather than projected return. Edgewater has absorbed a decade of high-rise development, but the supply of branded, hotel-operated residences on the boulevard remains small, and the supply of buildings with a functioning clinical wellness operator attached is smaller still. Buyers in this segment are increasingly underwriting service and programming, not just square footage, and those are the components that are hardest for a competing developer to add later.
On the supply side, the immediate stretch of Biscayne Boulevard between the Design District and the causeway has limited remaining developable land at this scale, and assembling two contiguous acres with this level of frontage would require multiple owners to sell simultaneously. On the demand side, Miami continues to draw international and domestic relocation buyers, and Florida's absence of state income tax remains a structural pull rather than a cyclical one. The optional Anantara-managed rental programme on resort residences gives owners a route to income without introducing a self-managed short-let arrangement.
Prospective purchasers should review the condominium prospectus and current price schedule directly. No specific return projections are implied.
One Thousand Group is the Miami partnership of Louis Birdman, Michael Konig and Kevin Venger. The group has delivered more than 10 million square feet and over $8 billion in completed projects, including One Thousand Museum - the first and last residential tower designed by Dame Zaha Hadid - as well as Four Seasons Residences Brickell, Regalia, Paramount on the Bay and Ten Museum Park, with Villa Miami currently under construction. Their pattern is consistent: commission an architect of international standing, build on a constrained waterfront site, and accept a longer development timeline for it. The condominium itself is being developed by Tower 36 Owner, LLC.
The Anantara relationship is operational rather than licensed. Minor Hotels runs the hotel component, staffs and programmes the Vitality & Longevity Center, provides the residential services, and manages the optional rental programme - meaning the brand's service standards are delivered by its own employees on site, not contracted out under a name-use agreement. The partnership is integrated from design through daily operations rather than applied at the marketing stage.

Edgewater sits on the western shore of Biscayne Bay, directly between Downtown Miami and the Design District, and it has become the address of choice for buyers who want water frontage without the isolation of an island or the density of Brickell. The neighbourhood is defined by its bayfront parks and its position at the mouth of the Julia Tuttle Causeway, the fastest crossing to Miami Beach. What distinguishes it from newer Miami districts is that its neighbours - the Design District's luxury retail and gallery quarter, Wynwood's studios and restaurants, the Arsht Center's programming - were built over two decades and are already operating at scale.
The balance of the area is what makes it liveable rather than merely convenient. Margaret Pace Park and the bayfront running paths sit a few minutes north, the Venetian Causeway offers a quieter cycling route east, and the residential streets behind Biscayne Boulevard remain low-rise. It is a district where a resident can walk to a Michelin-starred dining room, a contemporary art museum and a bay-facing running trail in the same evening, and then return to a street that is quiet after dark.
Three things separate it. It is the first Anantara residential project in the United States, so the brand has no comparable US address. It dedicates an entire 30,000 square foot floor to a clinical Vitality & Longevity Center with diagnostics, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy and traditional Thai medicine, rather than a conventional spa suite. And it pairs a Kohn Pedersen Fox tower with interiors by Studio Patricia Urquiola, a combination that appears in no other Miami residential building. The Anantara relationship is operational: Minor Hotels staffs and runs the hotel, the wellness floor and the residential services directly.
The site sits at 3601 Biscayne Boulevard, where four distinct districts converge. The Miami Design District is a five-minute walk, Wynwood is six minutes by bicycle, Midtown is a three-minute drive, and the Julia Tuttle Causeway carries directly across Biscayne Bay to Miami Beach in about ten minutes. Miami International Airport is roughly ten minutes by car. Crucially, these neighbours are established rather than planned - the Design District, Wynwood and the Adrienne Arsht Center represent capital that has already been spent and is already operating, which anchors the location independently of any single new development.
It suits buyers who intend to use wellness infrastructure regularly rather than occasionally, and who value hotel-grade service inside their own building. The condominium tier - three to six bedrooms in quarter-floor, half-floor and full-floor configurations - is aimed at primary and substantial second-home owners. The resort residences, at one and two bedrooms with an optional Anantara-managed rental programme, suit buyers who want a serviced Miami base that can generate income between stays. International purchasers are well served by freehold US title with no ownership restrictions.
Residences are sold as freehold condominium units with US title. There is no restriction on foreign ownership of Florida condominiums, and international buyers purchase on the same terms as domestic ones. The condominium is being developed by Tower 36 Owner, LLC, with One Thousand Group as the development partnership behind the project. Purchasers should review the condominium prospectus, which governs the offering, and take independent tax advice on holding structure - Florida levies no state income tax, but federal and home-country obligations still apply.
One Thousand Group is the Miami partnership of Louis Birdman, Michael Konig and Kevin Venger. The group has completed more than 10 million square feet and over $8 billion of projects, including One Thousand Museum, the first and final residential tower designed by Dame Zaha Hadid, alongside Four Seasons Residences Brickell, Regalia, Paramount on the Bay and Ten Museum Park. Villa Miami is currently under construction. Their consistent pattern is to commission architects of international standing on constrained waterfront sites and to accept longer timelines for it.
The 120 resort residences on levels 11 to 23 can be enrolled in an optional rental programme managed by Anantara Hotels & Resorts. Owners retain the residence for their own use and place it into the operator's inventory when they are away, with Anantara handling guest servicing, housekeeping and front-of-house through the same team that runs the 50 hotel suites in the building. The 100 private condominium residences on levels 24 to 46 are structured for private ownership. Full programme terms, fee splits and usage rules are available on request.
Four factors carry the case. Supply constraint: two contiguous acres with this frontage on Biscayne Boulevard would be difficult to assemble again. Operator commitment: a staffed clinical longevity floor is capital-intensive and cannot be retrofitted into a completed building. Brand scarcity: Anantara's first US residential address cannot be repeated. And district permanence: the Design District, Wynwood and the Arsht Center are the product of two decades of already-deployed investment. No specific return projections are implied - buyers should review the prospectus and current pricing directly.
