The Most Anticipated Pre-Construction Launch in Brickell History

On June 5, 2026, 13th Floor Investments and Key International opened sales for 619 Brickell by Nobu · Foster + Partners — and the market responded with rare intensity. By launch day, approximately $1 billion in homes had already been reserved. For context: that figure represents roughly one-third of the building's total sellout value before a single contract was formally executed.

This isn't marketing spin. It reflects three converging market forces: a global hospitality name making its Miami residential debut, an architecture studio whose portfolio defines skylines from London to Singapore, and one of the last direct bayfront parcels remaining on Brickell Avenue.

This guide isolates what sophisticated buyers need: pricing, floor plans, the wellness program, deposit mechanics, the investment case, and how 619 Brickell compares to Brickell’s active pre-construction pipeline.

The Basics: What Is 619 Brickell?

619 Brickell is a 75-story, 296-unit luxury residential tower at 619 Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL 33131, developed by 13th Floor Investments and Key International. ONE Sotheby's International Realty leads sales. Foster + Partners designed the tower in collaboration with Sieger Suarez; Studio Munge handled interiors. Nobu Hospitality operates the dining, wellness, and service programming. Construction is expected to commence within 12 months of the June 2026 sales launch, with closings anticipated in 2030.

The Architecture: Foster + Partners on Brickell Avenue

Foster + Partners accepts few residential commissions. The studio—founded by Lord Norman Foster and now led by a senior partnership including Patrick Campbell, who heads the 619 Brickell studio—builds projects that anchor city skylines: the Gherkin in London, the Hearst Tower in New York, the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, and the Millau Viaduct in France. A Foster residential tower becomes an event.

At 619 Brickell, the massing fragments into five twisting cassettes — vertical volumes that rotate as they rise to secure water views for every residence. The tower reads differently from each approach: Brickell Key, Key Biscayne, the MacArthur Causeway. The podium adopts a tropical language, with a landscape strategy that ties the project directly to its bayfront site.

"Capturing the energetic spirit of Brickell, our scheme is stitched into the surrounding fabric of the local community," said Patrick Campbell, Head of Studio at Foster + Partners. "The tower's twisting form responds to its waterfront location, maximizing natural light within the apartments and generating panoramic views of the ocean, Biscayne Bay, and Brickell Key."

Interiors follow five Japanese aesthetic principles central to Nobu's design language: *fukinsei* (asymmetry and balance), *wabi-sabi* (imperfection and the patina of time), *yugen* (subtle grace and mystery), *shizen* (naturalness), and *seijaku* (tranquility and stillness). The material palette — pale stone, warm timber, fluted plaster, softly diffused light — reads restrained in a market that often favors excess.

Pricing and Floor Plans: What You Get at Each Level

Release pricing at 619 Brickell begins at approximately $2,815,000 for one-bedroom residences, with the full pricing range extending from $3 million to over $60 million for the largest Sky Villas and Penthouses.

The building stacks five residence Collections vertically, with scale and view quality increasing as you go up:

Collection · Floors · Configuration · Size Range

--- · --- · --- · ---

Bay Collection · 5–8 · 1–3 BR · Up to 3,611 SF

Brickell Collection · 13–27 · 2 BR + Den, 4 BR + Den · Up to 3,300 SF

Biscayne Collection · 30–43 · 2–4 BR · Varies

Sky Collection · 62–71 · 4–5 BR Sky Flats · Up to 5,534 SF

Sky Villas & Penthouses · 72–75 · Full-floor residences · 5,526 SF+

The 19 Sky Villas and 4 Penthouses occupy the top floors. The largest Sky Flat — a five-bedroom plan with a dedicated game room and office — measures 5,534 square feet. Pricing for these units climbs past $18,750,000, with the most exclusive Penthouses listed above $60 million.

Every residence delivers 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive wraparound terraces (summer kitchens in select units), Gaggenau appliance suites, fine Italian cabinetry, and fully automated Lutron lighting. Wellness hardware is built in: medical-grade HEPA air purification, an ozone-enhanced whole-home water system, circadian lighting, low-EMF interiors, and integrated climate and humidity controls.

The $25 Million Wellness Program: A New Category

The amenity program exceeds 90,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space — but the headline is the Wellness and Longevity by Nobu program, underwritten with a $25 million investment by the developers and billed as the most innovative, tech-forward longevity offering in any current residential project.

Level 3 houses the Nobu Spa and a dedicated Longevity Center. The Nobu Spa includes treatment rooms, a hammam, steam and sauna, aromatherapy and cryo showers, an indoor lap pool, and an outdoor rejuvenation salt pool. The Longevity Center adds a Himalayan salt room, infrared sauna, hyperbaric oxygen therapy suites, cryotherapy chambers, an e-salt cabin, a neural rest therapy pod, IV and peptide therapy, ozone therapy, red light therapy, Pulse PEMF, and physical therapy facilities — all curated with a leading expert in longevity and performance wellness.

Level 4 prioritizes movement with panoramic fitness spaces: a fitness studio, Pilates studio with Reformer, Mega-Reformer and EXO Chairs, heavy-lifting and HIIT zones, a yoga and spinning studio, a lymphatic rebound trampoline studio, an outdoor yoga pavilion, and a juice bar.

Amenity waterscape includes five pools — an 86-foot sunset pool, hot and cold plunge pools, a rejuvenation salt pool, and a lap pool with an outdoor spa garden — placed across the amenity floors and the bayfront podium. Two padel courts, game rooms, sports simulators, and a VR suite with golf, ski, and F1 simulators support an active lifestyle.

Nobu Dining: Three Tiers of Access

Nobu Hospitality programs dining at three levels. At street level, a full-scale Nobu Restaurant and Nobu Bar open to the public with direct bay views and boardwalk access — the same Nobu experience found at 50+ locations worldwide, from Malibu to Milan to Tokyo. Level 11 hosts a resident-only poolside Nobu Café that offers an exclusive daily dining option unavailable to the public. In-residence dining and private Nobu chef services extend the brand into residents' homes.

"619 Brickell brings the Nobu lifestyle to Miami in a way that feels natural to the city and true to our brand," said Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality. "Together with Foster + Partners, 13th Floor Investments, and Key International, we are creating a residential sanctuary shaped by thoughtful design, Nobu dining, and service from the heart."

For buyers familiar with Nobu’s restaurants and hotels — and many UHNW buyers are — this isn’t an abstract amenity. It’s a predictable daily experience they can already picture.

The Investment Thesis: Why $1 Billion in Reservations

The $1 billion in reservations before the formal sales launch is the single most important data point for investors assessing 619 Brickell. It communicates three realities at once.

First, demand quality. Buyers who reserved early are not speculative flippers. They are UHNW domestic and international purchasers committing on brand recognition, architectural pedigree, and site quality. That buyer profile supports long-term value.

Second, site scarcity. True bayfront parcels on Brickell Avenue are effectively exhausted. Branded-residence competitors in the area include Cipriani Residences, the St. Regis Residences, and the Mandarin Oriental Residences on Brickell Key — each shaped by its own parcel. 619 Brickell’s direct Biscayne Bay frontage is a physical attribute that future developers cannot replicate on the same block.

Third, brand premium. Nobu is operating the restaurant and spa, not merely licensing a name. That operational involvement matters for resale: secondary-market buyers pay a premium for buildings where Nobu runs the amenities rather than just lending a brand.

Market data supports the case. Brickell hit a record-high $950 per square foot in Q1 2026, up from $889 in Q1 2025. The new delivery pipeline — 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana, Cipriani Residences, Baccarat Residences — is setting pricing benchmarks that push neighborhood averages higher. With a 2030 delivery, 619 Brickell sits to benefit from that appreciation cycle.

How 619 Brickell Compares to the Competition

Project · Architect · Brand · Starting Price · Delivery · Status

--- · --- · --- · --- · --- · ---

619 Brickell · Foster + Partners · Nobu · $3M · 2030 · Selling Now

888 Brickell · ACPV Architects · Dolce & Gabbana · $5M+ · 2028 · Selling Now

Cipriani Residences · Arquitectonica · Cipriani · $2.5M · 2028 · Selling Now

Baccarat Residences · Arquitectonica · Baccarat · $2M+ · 2027 · Selling Now

St. Regis Residences · Robert A.M. Stern · St. Regis · $3.5M+ · 2027 · Selling Now

Among Brickell’s pre-construction choices, 619 Brickell stands alone with a Foster + Partners scheme — a distinction that matters to a specific, highly motivated buyer segment. Foster + Partners carries a different global cachet than Arquitectonica or ACPV: photographers, design journals, and international buyers will register the difference even if they haven’t tracked Brickell previously.

Who Is Buying at 619 Brickell?

Reservation data and project positioning reveal four buyer clusters. Core buyers are international and domestic UHNW individuals who already know Nobu. The second group consists of primary-residence and pied-à-terre buyers seeking concierge-level, hotel-quality service at home. The third group is wellness-driven buyers attracted to the Longevity Center’s biohacking offering. The fourth includes family offices and relocation buyers treating branded residences as long-horizon allocations.

Design-driven buyers — those who follow architecture as closely as brand releases — find the Foster + Partners involvement reason enough to engage early, before the best floor plans disappear.
