Frida Kahlo Wynwood Residences

About the Project

Frida Kahlo Wynwood Residences occupies a singular position in Miami real estate: it is the first and only residential development in the world to carry the official license of the Frida Kahlo estate. That authorization comes from the Frida Kahlo Corporation, the firm founded by the artist's niece, Isolda Pinedo Kahlo, and subsequently led by her daughter Maria Cristina Romeo Pinedo alongside Venezuelan businessman Carlos Dorado. The Corporation controls all commercial use of Kahlo's name, image, and likeness, and is known for exercising that authority with exceptional selectivity. Its decision to partner on a residential project — the first of its kind — signals a deliberate and meaningful endorsement. The estate's involvement extends well beyond a name on the marquee: the Frida Kahlo Corporation oversees the development's curated art collection, its food and beverage programming, and the design of the pool deck, ensuring that Kahlo's spirit and aesthetic philosophy are woven into the physical fabric of the building rather than applied as surface decoration.

No neighborhood in the continental United States is better suited to this concept than Wynwood. Once a working-class warehouse district, the neighborhood transformed over the past two decades into one of the world's most celebrated open-air art destinations, its streets lined with large-scale murals commissioned from artists across the globe and its blocks anchored by galleries, design studios, and some of Miami's most forward-thinking restaurants and bars. Wynwood's identity is inseparable from the idea that art and daily life can coexist without hierarchy — precisely the ethos that ran through Frida Kahlo's own practice and biography. The project sits at 119 NW 29th Street, a one-acre site the developers acquired in 2023 for 0 million, placing it at the northern edge of the arts district where Wynwood grades into the emerging Wynwood Norte corridor. Residents will step outside into a neighborhood where culture is ambient: gallery openings, live murals in progress, design-week activations, and internationally recognized dining all within walking distance.

The development team brings a track record ideally matched to an ambition of this scale. Property Markets Group — known across the industry as PMG — was founded in 1991 and has grown into one of the most prolific residential developers in the United States, with a portfolio exceeding 175 projects, more than 10,000 residential units, and over 18 million square feet of completed development. PMG's Miami credentials include Echo Brickell, Echo Aventura, Muse Sunny Isles, and a partnership in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Residences Miami — the city's first supertall skyscraper. LNDMRK Development, led by Miami-based principal Alex Karakhanian, brings deep neighborhood fluency: Karakhanian has been acquiring and developing assets in Wynwood and the Miami Design District for over a decade, and his firm co-developed Twenty Sixth and 2nd Wynwood Residences, the boutique project immediately preceding this one, which established the short-term rental and deeded office suite model that Frida Kahlo Wynwood Residences refines and expands. Together, the two firms combine national institutional reach with the kind of granular local knowledge that Wynwood demands.

The architecture is the work of Carlos Ott, the Uruguayan-Canadian designer who first gained international renown when he won the 1983 competition to design the Opéra Bastille in Paris, inaugurated on the bicentennial of the French Revolution. In the four decades since, Ott has built in France, Germany, China, Singapore, Dubai, India, and beyond, and has established a particularly prolific relationship with Miami: his local credits include Echo Brickell, Muse Sunny Isles, and the Waldorf Astoria Residences. For Frida Kahlo Wynwood Residences, Ott has conceived a dual-tower composition — an eight-story north tower and a fourteen-story south tower — that responds to Wynwood's low-rise urban grain while asserting a confident presence above the surrounding streetscape. Interior architecture and finish packages are the work of Cotofana Designs, whose approach draws on Kahlo's signature interplay of bold color and precise craftsmanship. The design language is described as luminous interiors balanced by moments of contrast, referencing the painter's use of light without resorting to literal reproduction of her imagery.

The 244 residences span studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations, including penthouse homes, and every unit is delivered fully finished and fully furnished — a true turnkey ownership experience. Select residences are accompanied by a deeded private office suite on a dedicated level complete with its own reception area, conference rooms, a coffee station, and pre-wired technology infrastructure, a feature that acknowledges how the boundary between living and working has permanently shifted for a globally mobile ownership demographic. Prices begin at approximately 85,000. Short-term rentals are permitted, providing owners with the flexibility to participate in Wynwood's robust hospitality market when they are not in residence. Threaded throughout the common areas, a curated collection of art installations — developed in coordination with the Frida Kahlo Corporation — pays direct homage to the artist's legacy and to Wynwood's own creative heritage, giving the building a gallery-quality cultural dimension that is rare in even the most design-conscious residential projects.

Amenities are calibrated to a resort and wellness standard that matches the building's price point and its globally sophisticated buyer profile. The centerpiece is a resort-style pool and outdoor social lounge with a bar, designed by the Frida Kahlo Corporation to reflect the aesthetic warmth and botanical richness that characterized the artist's beloved Blue House in Coyoacán. On the ground floor, Baker Health — the premium concierge medical provider — operates its first Florida location, offering residents on-site physician access, 24-hour doctor chat, same-day appointments, and in-residence care; all unit owners receive a complimentary Baker Health membership for their first year of occupancy and discounted rates thereafter, a benefit that positions the building as a genuine wellness address rather than simply a well-appointed one. The fitness studio, thermal circuit with sauna and cold plunge pool, and a speakeasy-style lobby bar round out an amenity program that covers the full spectrum from physical recovery to social entertainment. For investors, the combination of the Frida Kahlo brand, a globally recognized architectural signature, short-term rental flexibility, and a location in one of Miami's highest-profile cultural districts creates a compelling case for long-term appreciation in a market where brand and lifestyle differentiation are the primary drivers of premium pricing.
