Casa Cipriani Miami Beach

About the Project

At 3611 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach's storied Mid-Beach neighborhood, Casa Cipriani rises as the third global outpost of one of the world's most storied hospitality dynasties — and the first to unite a private members club, a boutique all-suites hotel, and a collection of only twenty-three ultra-luxury residences within a single oceanfront tower. The Cipriani name carries a legacy that traces directly to May 13, 1931, when Giuseppe Cipriani opened Harry's Bar in a former rope warehouse tucked off the Piazza San Marco in Venice. It was there that he invented the Bellini cocktail, created the beef carpaccio, and cultivated an atmosphere so effortlessly elegant that the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage would one day declare it a National Landmark — the first public establishment in the country to receive such an honor in the same century. From that singular corner of Venice, the family built an empire: hotels, restaurants, and private clubs across New York, Milan, Dubai, Monte Carlo, and beyond. Casa Cipriani itself debuted in 2021 at New York's Battery Maritime Building, where the third generation of the family transformed a historic Beaux-Arts ferry terminal into a members-only sanctuary that quickly became one of the most coveted addresses in Manhattan. Miami Beach is next, and it represents the brand's most ambitious residential venture to date.

The development partnership behind Casa Cipriani Miami Beach brings together two of the industry's most accomplished operators in Miami-based 13th Floor Investments and New York's Midtown Equities. Arnaud Karsenti, the Paris-born, Duke and Harvard-educated managing principal of 13th Floor Investments, founded the firm in 2008 during the depths of the real estate downturn, methodically assembling a portfolio in Miami's urban core that has since grown to encompass over five billion dollars in acquired, developed, and managed assets. His firm is broadly credited with helping to reshape South Florida's luxury residential landscape through a series of design-forward, mixed-use projects. His partner in this venture, Midtown Equities — the privately held real estate platform of the Cayre family led by Joseph Cayre and his sons Michael and Jack — brings an equally formidable track record. With over 100 properties totaling fourteen million square feet across retail, office, residential, and hospitality sectors, Midtown Equities carries particular institutional knowledge of the Cipriani brand: it was the Cayre family's firm that originally developed Casa Cipriani New York at the Battery Maritime Building. The Miami Beach tower represents a deepening of that relationship and a natural extension of the brand's ambitions along the American coastline.

The architecture of Casa Cipriani Miami Beach was entrusted to Brandon Haw, the London-born, Bartlett- and Princeton-educated founder of New York firm Brandon Haw Architecture. Haw spent twenty-six years as a Senior Partner and Director at Foster + Partners, where he led landmark projects including the HSBC World Headquarters in London, the Commerzbank tower in Frankfurt, the Hearst Tower in New York, and — crucially for this commission — the Faena House in Miami Beach, a project that fundamentally redefined what oceanfront luxury could mean on Collins Avenue. Haw's design for Casa Cipriani is shaped by his characteristic philosophy of urban responsibility: an insistence that architecture derive its cues from its immediate historical and physical context. The result is what the Historic Preservation Board, which unanimously approved the project, described as a contemporary Grand Dame — a tower that references the graceful proportions of the 1948 Saxony Hotel and the joyful ambition of Morris Lapidus's 1954 Fontainebleau while expressing them through a thoroughly contemporary European lens. At seventeen stories and 210 feet, the building spans approximately 177,550 square feet across its 1.1-acre oceanfront site, its facades balancing classical rhythm with modern restraint in a manner that feels both rooted in Miami Beach's golden era and confidently of the present.

The twenty-three residences occupy the upper floors of the tower and are conceived as private homes of extraordinary scale and finish. Each unit averages approximately 3,900 square feet, with interiors informed by the same understated Venetian-European sensibility that defines the Cipriani aesthetic: clean architectural lines, warm natural materials, bespoke millwork, and a palette that speaks to sunlight, sea, and sky. Residences command unobstructed Atlantic Ocean views from private terraces, and prices begin at approximately twenty-five million dollars — positioning Casa Cipriani firmly among Miami Beach's most exclusive residential addresses. Owners receive a private dedicated entrance entirely separate from the hotel and members club, ensuring the discretion and sense of arrival that buyers at this level expect. Around-the-clock concierge service, personalized in-residence dining and catering programmed by the Cipriani kitchen, valet parking, and EV charging complete the residential service program.

The amenities and hospitality programming that surround the residences are, arguably, the defining feature of life at Casa Cipriani. The forty all-suite boutique hotel occupies its own floors within the tower, operating under the same exacting Cipriani standard that has made the New York flagship a magnet for discerning travelers and celebrated guests. The private members club — access to which requires application and approval, consistent with the brand's New York model — anchors the social life of the building, offering a jazz club, a lounge bar, curated programming, and an atmosphere of cultivated exclusivity that cannot be replicated by a conventional hotel or condominium. The signature Cipriani restaurant brings the family's celebrated Italian culinary tradition to Miami Beach, drawing on the same philosophy of elegant simplicity that has sustained Harry's Bar for nearly a century. A garden bar and ocean-view pool deck extend the hospitality outdoors, overlooking the Atlantic, while a full-service Cipriani Spa with sauna and treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness center, screening room, library, and children's playroom address every dimension of wellness and leisure.

Mid-Beach, the stretch of Collins Avenue running roughly from 24th to 44th Street, has emerged over the past decade as Miami Beach's most compelling address for buyers who want the glamour of South Beach's cultural legacy without its density. Flanked to the south by the Faena District — one of the most successful luxury mixed-use developments in American history — and bordered to the north by the Surfside and Bal Harbour corridor, Mid-Beach occupies a precise geographic sweet spot: walkable to world-class dining and art institutions, yet genuinely serene by the standards of a global resort destination. The site at 3611 Collins Avenue places residents directly on the oceanfront, three blocks north of the Faena House that Brandon Haw himself designed, lending Casa Cipriani a rare architectural dialogue with its immediate context. For international buyers, family offices, and trophy-asset collectors who have been watching Miami Beach's sustained trajectory as a global wealth hub, the combination of the Cipriani brand's unrivaled cultural cachet, a deliberately constrained supply of just twenty-three residences, and a once-in-a-generation development team makes Casa Cipriani Miami Beach among the most compelling pre-sales opportunities to emerge in South Florida in years.
