On April 12, 2026, the Mandarin Oriental on Brickell Key was imploded, signaling not just the end of a 25-year-old landmark but the beginning of one of Miami's most significant luxury redevelopments. According to IslanderNews.com | Locally Owned & Operated, the original hotel, which opened in 2000 after three years of construction, helped define Brickell Key's luxury landscape for over two decades.
The new project, dubbed The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, will feature two towers on the same site. IslanderNews.com | Locally Owned & Operated reports that a 66-story residential tower, soaring over 800 feet, will house ultra-luxury condominiums, some reportedly priced at up to $100 million. A second, 33-story tower will accommodate a new, more intimate Mandarin Oriental hotel alongside additional branded residences.
The development has a targeted completion date of 2030.
Our take: Miami's luxury real estate market is relentlessly pushing boundaries, and this project exemplifies that trend. The move to replace a serviceable, albeit aging, luxury hotel with an even grander, more residential-focused complex highlights the insatiable demand for ultra-high-end living spaces in the city. Mandarin Oriental's continued presence, even in a reconfigured format, underscores the brand's enduring appeal in the competitive South Florida market.
