Kempinski Residences Miami Design District

About the Project

Standing at the gateway to one of the Western Hemisphere's most culturally charged neighborhoods, Kempinski Residences Miami Design District represents a landmark moment for luxury living in America. This is the first branded residential project ever brought to the United States by Kempinski Hotels — Europe's oldest luxury hotel company, with a legacy stretching back over 150 years across the continent, the Middle East, and Asia. That heritage, defined by meticulous service, architectural gravitas, and an instinct for placing beauty in context, now finds its most ambitious expression in Miami. Positioned at 3801 and 3883 Biscayne Boulevard — at the precise threshold where Biscayne Bay's shimmering waterfront energy transitions into the Design District's world-class cultural corridor — the development signals a new chapter not only for the Kempinski brand but for the neighborhood itself, which has quietly become one of the most coveted addresses for ultra-luxury residential development in the United States.

The architecture is the work of Arquitectonica, the Miami-based firm whose influence on the city's skyline over four decades is unmatched. For Kempinski, Arquitectonica has conceived two slender twenty-story towers whose facades respond directly to the South Florida light — layered terraces, articulated massing, and a language of materials calibrated to the neighborhood's obsession with craft and materiality. The two towers are not simply adjacent; they are bound together by an elevated third-floor amenity bridge that forms a shared spine, creating a sense of compound rather than isolation. The result is a composition that reads simultaneously as monumental and intimate, a balance that is difficult to achieve and rarer still to sustain across a building of this ambition. Landscape architecture by the celebrated Swiss-Italian firm Enea weaves the podium-level grounds into the building's visual logic, embedding native planting, shaded promenades, and activated outdoor spaces into the fabric of both towers.

Across the two towers, 132 private residences offer two- to four-bedroom floor plans ranging from approximately 2,100 to 3,100 square feet of interior living space, with total areas — including deep private terraces — reaching up to 3,700 square feet. Expansive glazing frames sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Downtown Miami skyline, and the terraces are generously proportioned for genuine outdoor living rather than mere ornament. Six townhomes offer a more private residential scale, while seventeen dedicated guest suites are available exclusively for purchase by residents, providing a means for owners to accommodate visitors without sacrificing the building's carefully maintained sense of privacy and community. Interiors throughout are the work of Rockwell Group, the New York and Los Angeles-based studio known for its ability to synthesize warmth, materiality, and spatial drama at the highest levels of the hospitality and residential markets. Expect the hallmarks of Rockwell's vocabulary: considered material layering, custom millwork, and a refinement of proportion that reads immediately as luxury without announcing itself loudly.

The amenity program at Kempinski Residences Miami Design District spans approximately 70,000 square feet distributed across both towers and the elevated bridge that connects them, with each tower anchoring a distinct experiential identity. The North Tower is home to the wellness suite: a state-of-the-art fitness center, full spa with dedicated treatment rooms, a wellness café, and an 85-foot lap pool surrounded by private cabanas and a sun shelf — complemented by cold plunge facilities, infrared saunas, steam rooms, and outdoor training areas designed for year-round use. The South Tower houses the social and entertainment programming: a Formula 1 racing simulator and a dedicated golf simulator room, a music studio, a screening room, private dining salons, a library with wine and game lounges, a business center with conference facilities, and lounge areas for both children and teenagers. The shared outdoor podium brings both towers together around a beach-entry pool, a splash pad for younger residents, a padel court, lawn sports areas, and an outdoor theatre — the entire landscaped ground plane animated by Enea's planting scheme and threaded with paths that encourage life between buildings. Daily management of all amenities and resident services is overseen by Kempinski Management Group, extending the brand's hotel-caliber service standards into every facet of ownership life.

DaGrosa Capital Development Partners is a Miami-based development firm founded and led by Joseph DaGrosa Jr., a financier with over three decades of experience spanning private equity, real estate, hospitality, and institutional capital markets. DaGrosa began his career in Capital Markets at Paine Webber before building a record at Maplewood Partners, the Miami private equity firm where he served as Chief Administrative Partner and Co-Head of Transactions. His development vehicle, DaGrosa Capital Development Partners, was established with a singular focus: ground-up development and strategic acquisition of luxury hotels and residences with an emphasis on South Florida. The Kempinski collaboration — secured in 2024 through an exclusive partnership granting development rights to bring Kempinski-branded properties to major U.S. markets — is the firm's marquee project, and the scale of ambition it represents aligns with a developer who built his career on identifying value ahead of consensus. DaGrosa Capital's parent company, DaGrosa Capital Partners, oversees a portfolio with approximately two billion dollars in total investment activity.

The Miami Design District has undergone a transformation over the past decade that few neighborhoods in America can match in pace or consequence. Once an under-utilized industrial corridor, it now houses flagship boutiques for Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, and Fendi, alongside some of the most ambitious contemporary art galleries in the country, Michelin-recognized restaurants, and a public art program that has become a genuine cultural institution. For residential developers, the Design District represents an opportunity to place buyers inside a living experience that blends high retail, culture, and architecture in a way that has no direct equivalent in Miami. Kempinski Residences, with its proximity to the district's retail core, its Arquitectonica-designed towers, and its Kempinski-managed service model, is positioned as the definitive address within this ecosystem. Completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2029, with sales led by ISG World. Prices begin at .7 million and extend to 5 million for the penthouse collection.
