A 50-story tower at the convergence of Edgewater, Wynwood, and the Design District marks Anantara's first U.S. project — and a defining moment for Miami's branded residence market.

The best part about Miami is that it's so close to the United States.

I mean it. We really function like the Monaco of the USA — as if we were a city-state marching to its own Latin trap house beat. And the more this market moves, the more obvious it gets: Miami isn't following the rest of the country. It's writing its own playbook.

You can see it most clearly in what's getting built right now. According to recent global research from Savills, Miami is now home to the second-largest concentration of branded residences in the world, behind only Dubai. Hospitality, wellness, and longevity are reshaping what residential luxury looks like — and the brands choosing to plant their flag here are getting more globally significant by the quarter.

The newest name in that conversation is one of the most interesting yet.

Anantara's First U.S. Project

Anantara Miami Resort & Residences will be the first Anantara-branded property in the United States — a defining moment for both the brand and the Miami market.

Developed in partnership between Miami-based One Thousand Group and Minor Hotels, the Bangkok-based parent company behind more than 640 properties across 63 countries, the tower is positioned at the convergence of Edgewater, Wynwood, and the Miami Design District. The 50-story building will rise approximately 650 feet above Biscayne Bay and is expected to become one of the first new waterfront buildings in the area to offer uninterrupted bay views. Anticipated completion is 2030.

For Anantara — whose Thailand properties hosted Season 3 of HBO's The White Lotus — Miami is both a U.S. debut and a strategic anchor for the brand's expansion in the Western Hemisphere. For One Thousand Group, whose portfolio already includes Zaha Hadid's One Thousand Museum and the Major Food Group-partnered Villa Miami, this is the next chapter in a track record of building what the city didn't yet have.

A Fully Integrated Lifestyle Destination

What separates Anantara Miami from a traditional branded residence is the depth of integration. This isn't a hotel with apartments stacked above it — it's a single hospitality-driven ecosystem designed around immersive experience, cultural connection, and modern longevity.

The project brings together 100 private branded residences, 120 resort residences with hotel integration, and 50 luxury hotel suites. The mix gives buyers genuine flexibility in how they own, live, and use their home, with hospitality-led residential services woven through every layer of the experience.

Architecture and Design

The creative team is one of the most globally acclaimed of any Miami project right now. Architecture is led by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) in collaboration with ODP Architecture & Design — KPF's portfolio of transformative skyscrapers spans New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and beyond. Interiors are led by Patricia Urquiola, the Spanish-Italian designer whose work bridges craft, warmth, and conceptual rigor in a way that feels distinctly different from much of Miami's previous luxury cycle.

The result will be a tower deeply connected to Miami's cultural and artistic identity — design-forward, globally inspired, and grounded in hospitality DNA rather than the cold, hyper-glossy aesthetic that has defined much of the previous generation of Miami towers.

Wellness and Longevity at the Center

At the heart of the project is a next-generation wellness program rooted in both Anantara's centuries-old Thai healing traditions and the modern science of longevity.

Residents and guests will have access to a dedicated vitality and longevity center, recovery and movement programming, nutrition-focused experiences, a luxury spa, and resort-style waterfront pools. Personalized hospitality services and curated culinary programming round out an offering that treats wellness as integrated into daily life — not as an amenity stacked on top of it. The global wellness tourism industry is projected to surpass $1.35 trillion by 2028; Anantara Miami is among the first Miami projects built around that thesis from the ground up rather than retrofitted to it.

A private rooftop helipad provides direct access to Palm Beach, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas — a meaningful differentiator for global buyers who treat Miami as one node in a wider lifestyle map.

Location: The Edgewater–Wynwood–Design District Triangle

The site sits in one of Miami's most strategically important corridors. The Design District alone has nearly 1,000 residential units now planned or under development — a transformation from luxury retail neighborhood into one of the city's most significant residential markets. Wynwood and Edgewater complete the triangle, layering art, food, and waterfront access into a fully walkable lifestyle.

Residents will be moments from the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Frost Museum of Science, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, and the full gallery and dining infrastructure of the Design District and Wynwood. Downtown Miami and Miami Beach are minutes away by car or boat.

Why It Matters

Markets don't shift loudly anymore. They tighten, reposition, and reward the buyers who are already paying attention.

Anantara Miami Resort & Residences is a clear signal of where Miami's luxury market is going next: hospitality-driven, wellness-anchored, globally branded, and built for buyers who want their home to function as both private retreat and integrated lifestyle.
