Miami's first residential development conceived entirely around wellness: 656 studio to two-bedroom residences in Brickell, 22,000 sq ft of amenities and a 15-day minimum rental term
House of Wellness Brickell is a 34-storey, 656-residence condominium at 152 SW 9th Street, designed by Studio Mc+G Architecture under founding principal Jennifer McConney, with interiors, landscape and urban design by Urban Robot Associates of Miami Beach. It is positioned as Miami's first residential development conceived entirely around wellness rather than fitted with wellness facilities after the fact. The amenity programme, the on-site staffing and the resident software are organised around one documented method, and the residences are priced below the threshold at which Miami's other wellness-positioned product begins.
Residences begin on the seventh floor and run to the thirty-fourth, above five storeys of private parking. Studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms carry ceiling heights of 9 feet 4 inches, finished flooring throughout, premium appliance packages and polished concrete balconies in select lines with Brickell and Biscayne Bay exposure. More than 22,000 sq ft of amenity space is split across two levels: a seventh-floor deck combining indoor and outdoor gathering space, and a rooftop given to a skyline pool, a clubhouse with event kitchen, grills and outdoor lounge. Urban Robot's interior approach keeps visual weight low - two-tone cabinetry with terrazzo countertops, porcelain bathroom tile, pale timber and plaster - so that residences at this footprint read as calm rather than compressed.
The site carries an argument of its own. The Underline, Miami's linear park built beneath the Metrorail viaduct, runs directly alongside. The Brickell Metrorail and Metromover interchange is a short walk south, connecting to Brightline at MiamiCentral without a car. Mary Brickell Village and Brickell City Centre are both within walking distance. These are fixed public assets - a rail corridor, a park built over it, a retail core already delivered - not amenities a building can claim credit for or lose.
This is not simply a residence with wellness facilities. It is a staffed wellness programme with a residence attached.
What this building offers is a day that is already organised for you. The architecture supports that rather than announcing it: residences are lifted seven floors above the street so that the lowest home still looks out rather than across, the arched structural frame carries planting on every level so the facade reads green from the ground, and the amenity floors are placed at the two points where light is best - the seventh-floor deck, shaded and cross-ventilated, and the roof, open to the skyline and the bay.
Urban Robot Associates approached the interiors as background rather than statement. The palette is restrained - pale timber, plaster, terrazzo, porcelain - and the built-in joinery does the work that furniture would otherwise have to do, which is what allows a 337 sq ft studio to function as a full home rather than a compromise. The amenity interiors move in the opposite direction: darker, heavier, more tactile, with travertine and brass in the spa and dense planting through the recovery courtyard, so that leaving the residence registers as a change of state.
The result is a building where the distance between intention and action is measured in floors rather than in traffic.
House of Wellness Brickell occupies a positioning gap that is structurally difficult to reproduce, for five distinct reasons.
First, price architecture. Every other wellness-positioned residential product in Miami starts above $1 million; this one starts in the $400,000s. That is not a discount on the same asset - it is a different unit-mix decision, taken at the outset, that puts a fully programmed wellness building within reach of a buyer pool the category has never addressed. Second, the programme is staffed rather than specified. A Lifestyle Director, Wellness Ambassadors and resident practitioners are operating roles, not a list of rooms; a competitor can copy a hammam far more easily than a service organisation. Third, permission. The 15-day minimum rental term is written into the building rather than negotiated by an owner, and it cannot be added later to a condominium whose governing documents already impose a longer minimum - which is the case across most of Brickell. Fourth, the amenity ratio is delivered by scale rather than exclusivity: 656 residences make more than 22,000 sq ft of amenity space and a full practitioner roster economically viable at $1.60 per sq ft per month, which a boutique building of the same positioning could not fund. Fifth, the location is anchored to infrastructure that is already built - the Metrorail and Metromover interchange, The Underline, Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village - rather than to a masterplan still in permitting.
This is not simply the cheapest way into a wellness building. It is the only price at which the category currently exists in Miami.
The investment thesis rests on positioning rather than projection, and it turns on two structural features: the rental term and the cost base. A 15-day minimum lets an owner run a materially shorter cycle than the 30-day, six-month or annual minimums that most Brickell condominium documents impose - a permission that travels with the unit and that competing buildings cannot grant retrospectively. Brickell is the densest rental submarket in Miami and, on the Zillow and RentCafe data cited in the project's own materials, leads the city on rental pricing across studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom types.
On the cost side the arithmetic is unusually legible. The association fee runs at $1.60 per sq ft per month - roughly $540 for a 337 sq ft studio and about $1,100 for a 687 sq ft two-bedroom - and it absorbs the gym, spa, recovery, co-working, classes and programming that a Brickell resident would otherwise buy separately. The project's own comparison puts the standalone cost of those services at $760 to $1,440 per month, which places the smaller residences below the cost of assembling the same lifestyle elsewhere in the neighbourhood. Those same materials cite a Global Wellness Institute meta-analysis of more than 300 studies placing wellness-designed residences at approximately a 16 percent sales premium over conventional equivalents, and a 13 to 19 percent rental premium over comparable conventional product in Miami; these are category-level findings rather than building-level guarantees and should be verified independently.
On supply: Brickell's developable land is effectively exhausted at the core, and no other Miami project currently pairs a staffed wellness programme with a sub-$500,000 entry point. Delivery is estimated for Q3 2029, which places the asset's handover well beyond the current delivery wave. The absolute cost of ownership at studio and one-bedroom footprints keeps the resale and rental audience wide rather than narrow, which matters more in a high-inventory submarket than headline size does. Payment terms, association budgets, rental rules and the delivery schedule should all be verified independently as part of due diligence. No specific return projections are implied.
Studio Mc+G Architecture is led by Jennifer McConney, who launched more than 600 projects across hospitality, resort, historic preservation, commercial retail and residential work before founding the practice. Its current portfolio includes the restoration of the Delano Hotel and work on the Thompson Hotel and Wynwood Works in Miami's arts district - a hospitality-weighted record that is directly relevant to a building whose value depends on how well its service floors actually run.
Urban Robot Associates holds an unusually wide brief here. The Miami Beach collective covers architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and urban design, and on this project it carries all of them, which is why the planting on the facade, the recovery courtyard and the residence palette read as one decision rather than three. Sales and marketing are directed by Fortune Development Sales, the on-site representative for more than 80 South Florida projects, with a brokerage network reaching buyers from Manhattan and São Paulo to Hong Kong and Paris.
The design authorship is integrated from streetscape through to the residence interior, rather than a set of names attached to separate scopes.

Brickell is Miami's financial core and, over the past decade, the neighbourhood that has done most to become genuinely walkable. It carries the city's highest residential density, its deepest rental market and its only real concentration of towers, offices, restaurants and rail within the same twenty blocks. What draws residents is not a view but a radius: the ability to work, eat, train and travel without a car, in a city built almost entirely against that idea. The infrastructure underneath it is fixed - the Metrorail and Metromover interchange, The Underline linear park running the length of the corridor, and Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village anchoring the retail - which is what makes the neighbourhood's position difficult to unwind.
The character of the area has shifted with it. Brickell now reads less as an office district that empties at seven and more as a neighbourhood with a working week attached: the Miami River waterfront to the north, the residential streets and shaded blocks to the south and west, and Key Biscayne and Coconut Grove close enough to be weekend habits rather than trips. For a resident whose priority is time rather than square footage, that trade is the whole proposition.
Three things. The first is that it is positioned as Miami's first residential development conceived entirely around wellness rather than fitted with wellness facilities afterwards. The second is price: every other wellness-positioned residential project in the city starts above 1 million dollars, while this one launches from the low 400,000s. The third is that the offer is staffed rather than specified - an on-site Lifestyle Director, Wellness Ambassadors and resident practitioners including nutritionists, personal trainers, physical and massage therapists and estheticians run a documented five-step method, with every resident receiving a 360-degree assessment on move-in tracked through a dedicated app. A competing building can copy a hammam; copying an operating service organisation is considerably harder.
It is at 152 SW 9th Street, in the core of Brickell, directly alongside The Underline - the linear park built beneath the Metrorail viaduct. The Brickell Metrorail and Metromover interchange is roughly a five-minute walk, which puts Brightline at MiamiCentral, Downtown and the airport within reach without a car. Mary Brickell Village is about five minutes on foot and Brickell City Centre about ten. Brickell matters because it is the densest and deepest rental submarket in Miami and the only part of the city where the rail, retail and residential infrastructure genuinely overlap - and because that infrastructure is already built rather than proposed.
The building holds 656 residences across 34 storeys, in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, with homes beginning on the seventh floor above five levels of private parking. Interiors run from approximately 337 sq ft for a studio to around 687 sq ft for a two-bedroom, with several lines adding balconies. Pricing starts in the low 400,000s for studios, with one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms scaling from there, and the association fee runs at 1.60 dollars per sq ft per month. Ceilings are 9 feet 4 inches throughout, with finished flooring, two-tone cabinetry, terrazzo countertops, porcelain bathroom tile and a premium appliance package as standard. Pricing and availability change; a current schedule is provided on request.
It is the building's proprietary five-step framework, and it is the reason the project exists in this form. Each resident begins with a comprehensive health and wellness assessment on move-in, receives a personalised blueprint from it, and then follows daily programming built around that plan, guided by an on-site Lifestyle Director with progress tracked continuously through a dedicated app. The programme is organised across five dimensions: physical wellness, emotional and mental wellness, social wellness and belonging, intellectual and creative wellness, and thoughtful nutrition. In practice that means a monthly calendar of classes, recovery sessions, workshops and social events rather than an unstaffed gym.
Yes. The minimum rental term is 15 days, which is materially shorter than the 30-day, six-month or annual minimums that most Brickell condominium associations impose, and it gives an owner a meaningfully more flexible letting cycle. The building supports it operationally with a dedicated leasing office and in-house professional management on site, so an owner is not obliged to appoint an external manager. This permission is written into the building rather than negotiated unit by unit, and it is the kind of provision a competing condominium cannot easily grant later once its governing documents are recorded. Owners intending to let should still have the rental rules, association documents and any applicable City of Miami requirements reviewed as part of their own due diligence.
More than 22,000 sq ft of amenity space is split across a seventh-floor deck and a rooftop level. It includes a skyline pool with cabanas, a rooftop clubhouse with event kitchen and grills, a full-service spa with hammam, steam room, sauna and cold plunge, a gym with a private personal training room and indoor and outdoor functional training areas, co-working spaces, a social lounge, a podcast room, a juice bar and pantry, a ground-floor rideshare lounge and pet amenities including a dog spa and park. The association fee is 1.60 dollars per sq ft per month, which works out at roughly 540 dollars for a 337 sq ft studio and about 1,100 dollars for a 687 sq ft two-bedroom. The project's own comparison puts the standalone cost of the equivalent gym, spa, recovery, co-working and class memberships in Brickell at 760 to 1,440 dollars per month, which is the basis of its argument that the fee replaces spending an owner is already making. Final association budgets should be confirmed before commitment.
Delivery is estimated for Q3 2029; pre-construction sales launched in February 2026 and the project is off-plan, so the schedule should be confirmed directly as construction progresses. On value, four structural factors matter more than any forecast. Brickell leads Miami on rental pricing across studio, one- and two-bedroom types and its core land is effectively built out. The 15-day minimum rental term gives owners a letting cycle most competing buildings cannot offer and cannot easily add later. Wellness-designed residences carry a documented category premium - the Global Wellness Institute meta-analysis cited in the project's materials puts it at roughly 16 percent on sale price and 13 to 19 percent on rent - though these are category findings, not building-level guarantees. And the studio to two-bedroom footprint keeps the absolute cost of ownership low enough that the resale audience stays wide. No specific return projections are implied.
