Swire Properties has appointed Fortune Development Sales to be the exclusive sales and marketing agent for The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami. The Residences, an exquisite collection of private homes, is part of an unparalleled residential and hospitality destination set within a secluded island sanctuary, but only moments away from Miami’s vibrant urban core. This unprecedented development on Brickell Key will also be home to what is destined to become the luxury brand’s North American flagship hotel.

Fortune Development Sales, led by Edgardo Defortuna, has achieved tremendous success over several decades spearheading the sales of Miami’s preeminent luxury residential developments and has a long history of partnership with Swire Properties. Fortune is also the exclusive Miami affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, a global network of real estate firms in nearly 50 countries and territories around the world.

Through this strategic partnership, Christie’s International Real Estate offers buyers at The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, unprecedented global access to Christie’s renowned fine art auction house and international network.

“The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, is the pinnacle of Swire’s four-decade-long journey in developing Brickell Key and it was essential we selected a stellar team to represent this property in Miami and around the world. By working with Fortune Development Sales and Christie’s International Real Estate, we are ensuring The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami will become a truly global destination,” said Henry Bott, President of Swire Properties.

The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, will be situated in two stunning towers at the southernmost point of Brickell Key. The first tower will stand at over 800 feet and offer 228 two-to-four-bedroom private homes with floorplans up to 4,700 square feet, including two duplex penthouses each spanning over 7,000 square feet. The second tower is approximately 400 feet tall and houses the newly built Mandarin Oriental Hotel with 121 guest rooms, 66 private Residences, and 28 hotel Residences.

“It is a privilege for our firm to be associated with The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami. Mandarin Oriental sets the benchmark for legendary service worldwide and this development is truly one-of-a-kind,” said Thad Wong, co-CEO of Christie's International Real Estate. “It is rewarding to have the opportunity to offer our clients a product that is truly the best in its class in a magnificent location with five-star amenities and hospitality offerings.”

Swire Properties has commissioned an incredible global team to design both the Residences and hotel. Kohn Pedersen Fox is responsible for the striking exterior architecture of both buildings. Parisian designers Tristan Auer and Laura Gonzalez will make their distinct marks on the Residences and hotel interiors, respectively, and Thai firm Shma who will create the lush landscaping. This is the first new development commission for Auer, Gonzalez, and Shma in the United States. Both towers offer near-panoramic Biscayne Bay views and are connected by an expansive resort-style podium with over 100,000 square feet of unmatched amenities, including multi-tiered infinity swimming pools, private cabanas, executive workspaces, dining rooms with chef kitchens, world-class restaurants, a signature spa, and cutting-edge health and wellness facilities.

The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, will be the culmination of residential development on Brickell Key, the exclusive island community developed by Swire Properties for over forty years. Conveniently situated across the causeway from Brickell Key is Brickell City Centre, a $1 billion, 4.9 million square feet mixed-use space developed by Swire Properties that has transformed the Brickell neighborhood and established a new focal point in Miami. The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, represents the final opportunity to own a new residence on the island when sales launch in early 2024.
