St. Regis Brickell Eyes Waterfront Marina as Tower Nears Completion

• Related Group and Integra Investments can now begin pursuing permits for a proposed marina next to the St. Regis Residences Miami at 1809 Brickell Ave.
• The Miami City Commission approved an agreement allowing the property owner to submit marina permit applications for city-owned submerged land.
• The roughly 50-story luxury condominium is under construction and is expected to be completed next year.
• The number and size of potential boat slips have not been disclosed, and a future lease from the city would require separate approval.

What The Proposed Marina Would Add To St. Regis

The St. Regis Residences Miami could add another major luxury amenity to its waterfront offering with a proposed marina next to the 1809 Brickell Avenue development. The Miami City Commission recently authorized the property's owner, 1809 Brickell Property Owner LLC, to submit permit applications and related documentation for a proposed marina and associated waterfront facilities. The approval does not itself authorize construction or grant the developer rights to the submerged land. The project is being developed by Related Group and Integra Investments, with Robert A.M. Stern Architects serving as design architect. The official project materials identify 1809 Brickell Property Owner LLC and 1809 Brickell Phase II LLC as the legal developers using the St. Regis brand under license.

What The City Approval Means For The Development

The commission's action is primarily a permitting step, rather than final approval for the marina itself. The city and property owner are still negotiating the terms of a potential lease for the submerged land. Any future lease, management agreement or other authorization would need to return to the Miami City Commission for separate approval. The approved hold-harmless agreement also makes clear that the developer will pursue the permits at its own cost and risk. The agreement does not create a property interest, development right or entitlement to the submerged land. That distinction matters for investors because the marina remains a proposed future component of the project rather than an approved operating facility.

What The St. Regis Development Includes

The St. Regis Residences Miami is rising on the waterfront at 1809 Brickell Avenue in South Brickell. The project is planned as an approximately 50-story luxury condominium with roughly 150 residences, depending on the tower and project phase. The development's design team includes Robert A.M. Stern Architects, Rockwell Group and Enzo Enea, with Related Group and Integra Investments behind the project. The waterfront location and luxury positioning are central to the development's appeal. A reported $47 million penthouse contract has also highlighted the project's position at the top end of Miami's residential market. The reported contract has not yet become a recorded sale, so the figure should be treated as a reported contract price rather than a closed transaction.

What The Marina Demand Means For Miami Investors

The potential marina comes as demand for waterfront boat storage remains strong across South Florida. Developers are pursuing new marina capacity at several major waterfront sites, while private owners are also seeking larger slips for increasingly valuable yachts. At the former Miami Seaquarium site, Terra Group has proposed a major redevelopment that includes marina facilities capable of accommodating yachts up to 200 feet. Billionaire Ken Griffin has also received approval for a private marina on Terminal Island. For waterfront landlords and developers, the trend is important because marina access can add another layer of value to high-end residential real estate. At St. Regis, a future marina could further differentiate the project in an increasingly competitive luxury condo market.

What Still Needs To Happen Before Construction

The biggest unknowns are the number of slips, boat sizes, lease terms and construction timeline. None have been disclosed publicly. The developers must still obtain the necessary permits and secure a separate city-approved lease or other authorization for the submerged land. Until those steps are completed, the marina should be viewed as a potential future amenity rather than a confirmed component of the completed project.
