Mandarin Oriental' $226M Brickell Key Twin Towers Break Ground

• Sitework has started on the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Residences at 750 Claughton Island Drive in Miami.
• The project will feature two towers measuring 66 stories and 850 feet and 33 stories and 426 feet, with 294 residences and 121 hotel keys.
• Swire Properties and Mandarin Oriental are leading the development, with Kohn Pedersen Fox serving as architect.
• The more than 1.2 million-square-foot project is expected to cost approximately $226 million and reach completion in 2030.

What the Project Includes for Miami

Sitework is officially underway for the new Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Residences on Claughton Island in Miami. The luxury development will replace the former Mandarin Oriental Miami hotel and its parking structure, which were demolished by Swire Properties in April 2026. The new project will introduce two towers totaling more than 1.2 million square feet of construction. The taller tower will rise 66 stories to 850 feet and include 66 private residences and 121 hotel rooms. A second 33-story, 426-foot tower will be dedicated entirely to residential use, with 228 residences.

What the Two Towers Will Offer

The residential offerings will range from two-bedroom to five-bedroom layouts, including duplex penthouses. The project is being positioned as a high-end waterfront development, with residents expected to have access to an extensive collection of private amenities. Planned amenities include multiple swimming pools, waterfront cabanas, and sports courts, giving residents and hotel guests a resort-style experience on Claughton Island.

What Is Planned for the Site

The development is being led by Swire Properties and Mandarin Oriental, with Kohn Pedersen Fox serving as the architect. The project is estimated to cost approximately $226 million to complete. The site has a history with the Mandarin Oriental brand. The previous hotel and parking structure were completed in 2000 before being demolished earlier this year to make way for the new towers.

What the Timeline Means for the Project

With sitework now underway, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Residences is moving into its next major phase of development. Construction is currently projected to continue through 2030, when the two towers are expected to be completed. The project will further expand Miami's luxury residential and hospitality pipeline while adding a major new waterfront development to Claughton Island.
