1428 Brickell: The Complete Buyer’s Guide
As of September 2026, The Residences at 1428 Brickell is more than 70% sold, with broker-published availability starting around $2.9 million for two-bedroom lines and averaging roughly $2,000 per square foot. Penthouses at Ytech’s 70-story, 195-residence solar-integrated tower reach $60 million. Delivery is targeted for Q4 2028, with a 40% pre-closing deposit schedule.
The Residences at 1428 Brickell occupies a rare position in Miami’s most crowded luxury submarket: a pure condominium tower with no hotel component, no branded-residence licensing fee, and a design gambit no other tower on the South Florida new-development map has attempted. Ytech, the Miami-based developer led by CEO Yamal Yidios, is building what it bills as the first residential high-rise partially powered by the sun — a 70-story tower at 1428 Brickell Avenue whose west facade integrates nearly 500 photovoltaic window panels.
Construction reached Level 25 in early September 2026, with more than 70% of residences sold, according to a developer announcement reported by World Red Eye on September 8, 2026. Here is what buyers evaluating the tower need to know.
What makes 1428 Brickell different from the rest of the Brickell pipeline?
Three things separate this tower from its neighbors: scale of residence, the all-residential format, and the solar facade.
Start with unit count. The tower holds just 195 residences across 70 stories — roughly half the density of Cipriani Residences Miami’s 397 units and a fraction of the 1,000-plus-unit towers rising elsewhere in Brickell. Residences run 1,800 to 4,000 square feet in two- to four-bedroom configurations, all oriented toward Biscayne Bay, with a two-story penthouse of 11,052 square feet crowning the building.
The design pedigree is deliberate: Arquitectonica is the architect, with interiors by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel — the Milan firm behind the Bulgari hotels. Amenities total roughly 80,000 square feet, including a rooftop pool set at approximately 850 feet of elevation, a 10,000-square-foot spa and wellness club, a private wine lounge and dining room, a cinema, a golf simulator, and guest suites, per the developer’s marketing materials.
Then there is the headline feature. The west facade’s “Solar Backbone” integrates nearly 500 photovoltaic windows across roughly 20,000 square feet, projected to generate about 175,000 kWh of clean energy annually, according to the developer’s September 2026 construction update. No competing Brickell tower offers building-integrated photovoltaics at this scale — a genuine differentiation point in a market where most towers compete on brand affiliation instead.
What do residences at 1428 Brickell cost in 2026?
Pricing has moved substantially since launch. When Ytech announced its $565 million construction financing in November 2025, the developer’s release cited residences starting around $2 million; trade coverage from Multi-Housing News has since described standard units running $4.4 million to $10 million, with two penthouses quoted at $60 millioneach.
As of September 2026, broker-published availability shows approximate line pricing as follows: two-bedroom-plus-den lines from about $2.9 million, three-bedroom lines from roughly $4.6 million, four-bedroom-plus-den lines from about $6.4 million, and penthouses from approximately $14.4 million. Blended pricing works out to roughly $2,000 per square foot — a figure worth benchmarking against our South Florida price-per-square-foot index, where Brickell’s ultra-luxury tier now clusters between $1,800 and $2,500.
With the tower past 70% sold, remaining inventory skews toward larger, higher-floor residences — which means published “from” prices understate what most buyers will actually transact at. [VERIFY: exact remaining-inventory pricing by line — request current price sheet from Ytech sales gallery.]
When does 1428 Brickell deliver, and what is the deposit structure?
Ytech broke ground in 2025 and secured $565 million in construction financing from J.P. Morgan and Sculptor Real Estate (arranged by JLL Capital Markets) in November 2025 — one of the largest condo construction loans in Florida that year. Vertical progress has been steady: Level 25 as of September 2026, with completion targeted for Q4 2028, per developer and broker materials.
The deposit schedule published by sales brokerages as of September 2026 runs: 20% at contract, 10% three months later, 10% at building completion, and the remaining 60% at closing — a 40% total pre-closing commitment that is standard for this tier of Brickell product. Buyers weighing an eventual exit before closing should read our guide to assignment rights and delay clauses in Florida pre-construction contracts, since assignment permissions vary by developer and are negotiated at contract.
A Q4 2028 delivery puts 1428 Brickell one full cycle behind the 2027 wave of completions — see our 2027 delivery calendar for what arrives first — which some buyers will read as risk and others as insulation from a crowded closing season.
How does 1428 Brickell compare to St. Regis Brickell and Cipriani Residences?
The two most direct comparisons sit within blocks. The St. Regis Residences, Miami — Related Group and Integra Investments’ 50-story, 152-unit bayfront tower — passed 80% sold in August 2026 with roughly $900 million in sales, per developer announcements, with current pricing above $2,000 per square foot and delivery targeted for Q4 2027. Its deposit schedule is heavier: 50% before closing, staged in five 10% installments.
Cipriani Residences Miami, Mast Capital’s 80-story tower at 1420 South Miami Avenue — directly adjacent to 1428 Brickell and also designed by Arquitectonica — reached 872 feet in April 2026, becoming Miami’s tallest residential tower, per Florida YIMBY. Its 397 residences start around $1.8 million, with penthouse product from $4.1 million and delivery expected in 2027.
Brickell luxury tower comparison — figures as of September 2026, per developer and published broker materials
| Tower | Priced from | Approx. PPSF | Delivery | Developer |
| The Residences at 1428 Brickell (195 units, 70 fl) | ~$2.9M | ~$2,000 | Q4 2028 | Ytech |
| The St. Regis Residences, Miami (152 units, 50 fl) | ~$2.8M+ (launch); higher on remaining units | $2,000+ | Q4 2027 | Related Group / Integra Investments |
| Cipriani Residences Miami (397 units, 80 fl) | ~$1.8M | [VERIFY: blended PPSF] | 2027 | Mast Capital |
In prose: 1428 Brickell’s two-bedroom entry (~$2.9 million) sits between Cipriani’s ~$1.8 million entry and the St. Regis’s effective pricing on remaining large units, while all three towers now transact at or near $2,000 per square foot at the top of their stacks. The decision largely reduces to format: hotel-grade brand services (St. Regis), restaurant-brand lifestyle at higher density (Cipriani), or a low-density, unbranded, design-and-sustainability play (1428 Brickell).
Is Brickell oversupplied at this price tier?
The honest answer: the risk is concentrated below this tier, not at it. Brickell’s 2026 pipeline includes mass-market and short-term-rental product measured in thousands of units — Mercedes-Benz Places alone launched from the high $600,000s — and that segment faces genuine absorption questions as inventory builds, a dynamic we track monthly in our South Florida pre-construction monthly.
Above $2,000 per square foot, however, the supply story is thinner than headlines suggest. The three towers in the table above collectively hold roughly 744 residences, and two of the three were more than 70–80% sold as of late summer 2026. Large, all-bay-facing residences of 1,800–4,000 square feet in true luxury buildings remain scarce in Brickell relative to Sunny Isles Beach or Fort Lauderdale — compare the inventory picture in our near-completion 2026 deliveries survey.
Buyers should still underwrite carrying costs honestly — our breakdown of what a $5M new-development condo really costs per year applies squarely to this building — and treat the solar facade as a design differentiator rather than a material utility saving on residences of this size.
