A new chapter in Miami’s urban development is set to unfold as the Domus Brickell Center, a 35-story tower, prepares to break ground in the heart of the city’s bustling Brickell district. The development team has successfully finalized a utilities agreement with Miami-Dade’s Water & Sewer Department, recorded on June 30, 2025, paving the way for construction to commence later this year.
The upcoming tower will feature 579 residential units designed with short-term rental flexibility in mind. This project is a joint venture between Ricardo Dunin and a prominent Peruvian development firm, with architecture by a renowned Miami-based firm and interiors curated by a leading design studio. The building’s design emphasizes a modern, hospitality-driven layout, complete with ground-floor retail and lifestyle amenities.
Design and Amenities
The exterior of Domus Brickell Center will boast a contemporary façade, featuring private balconies for each residence. Inside, the design will highlight natural finishes, neutral tones, and integrated smart features. The project is strategically located just steps away from major transit connections, including Metrorail, Metromover, and the Brightline MiamiCentral station, enhancing its appeal to both residents and investors.
The development will offer a range of unit layouts, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options. Each unit will include high-end features such as 9-foot-high ceilings, Bosch appliances, built-in closets, and keyless smart entry systems. The units will be delivered fully furnished, optimizing them for rental performance and usability through platforms like Airbnb and others.
Construction and Timeline
Demolition of the site was completed in 2024, and the land is now fully prepared for construction. A master construction permit is currently under review with the City of Miami, with groundbreaking anticipated this summer. Vertical construction is expected to begin by late 2025, aiming for completion by the end of 2027. The general contractor, a Florida-based firm with extensive experience in mid- and high-rise construction, will oversee the project.
The development’s amenities package will include a rooftop pool and sky deck, wellness areas, a 4,000-square-foot communal lounge with café, wine bar, and artisanal market, co-working spaces, and a fully equipped fitness center. Residents will also benefit from 24-hour concierge services, housekeeping, valet, and tech-enabled booking and maintenance services.
Market Position and Investment Appeal
Domus Brickell Center is positioned as an investment-focused offering with no rental restrictions, appealing to both end users and global investors. Pricing is expected to start at $500,000 for studios, $695,000 for one-bedrooms, and $925,000 for two-bedrooms, with top-tier units reaching up to $1.5 million. The developer is offering a buyer-friendly payment structure, with staggered payments leading up to closing.
Located within walking distance of Brickell City Centre, Mary Brickell Village, and major corporate office towers, the project offers unparalleled urban convenience. Miami International Airport, Wynwood, the Design District, and the Pérez Art Museum are all within a short drive or transit ride, enhancing the property’s desirability.
Broader Implications
Domus Brickell Center is North Development’s second branded Domus property in Miami, reflecting a growing trend of hybrid residential-hospitality projects in the city’s core. With the utilities agreement now in place and demolition already completed, the project is poised to bring over 570 new furnished units to one of the region’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
The move represents a significant step in Miami’s ongoing transformation into a global urban hub, offering a blend of residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces that cater to a diverse range of needs and preferences. As the city continues to grow, developments like Domus Brickell Center will play a crucial role in shaping its future landscape.
