Miami River Renaissance Coming: Alan Faena’s New Cultural Epicenter Takes Shape

A groundbreaking project along Miami’s riverfront, blending luxury, art, and culture to redefine waterfront living.

Marking its first standalone residential project along Miami’s riverfront, Faena unveils a bold new vision: a vertical oasis where art, culture, and luxury converge. This architectural marvel signals the next chapter in Alan Faena’s legacy of transformative placemaking.

What Alan Faena first imagined—and realized—in Buenos Aires, then brought to life with striking success in Miami Beach, he now brings to the Miami River. His earlier ventures redefined entire neighborhoods, establishing world-renowned cultural districts. I’ve seen these transformations firsthand—they were nothing short of extraordinary. With the arrival of Faena Residences Miami, the riverfront is set to become an immersive cultural destination—one not just experienced, but lived.

Nestled along the gentle curves of the Miami River, Faena Residences will redefine waterfront living. This exclusive enclave will blend urban sophistication with natural serenity, offering residents a lifestyle of effortless luxury. Think private boat rides, curated shopping, and a community where calm meets cultural richness—seamlessly woven into the everyday.

Designed by the late, legendary Rafael Viñoly, the project comprises two striking towers connected by a sculptural skybridge—an architectural icon in the making. The skybridge will serve as a hub of wellness and culture, featuring everything from social lounges to Miami’s first penthouse sauna.

The expansive wellness program includes a 25-meter smart pool with underwater sound, a cutting-edge longevity clinic, state-of-the-art fitness centers, and dedicated spaces for recreation. Additional amenities include a restaurant and bar, game room, screening room, library lounge, golf simulator, padel court, arts and crafts studio, pet spa, and more.

Rising 68 stories with 220 residences per tower, Faena Residences offers an exceptional selection of one- to four-bedroom homes, as well as River Lofts, Sky Lofts, and Penthouses. With prices starting at $1.5 million and reaching up to $35 million in the early pre-construction phase, it’s a rare opportunity to be part of something visionary. Completion is expected in Q2 2029.

With Faena’s signature blend of artistic flair and cultural richness, the Miami River is poised for a renaissance. This is more than a place to live — it’s a destination to belong.
