Inside Kempinski Residences Miami Design District: New Renderings Reveal Europe’s Oldest Luxury Hotel Brand’s First U.S. Residential Bet

By Haute Residence Editorial · September 28, 2026 · Updated November 6, 2026

New renderings show how Europe’s oldest luxury hotel group plans to carry its hotel service standard into two bay-view towers on Biscayne Boulevard, its first residential project in the United States.

Kempinski Residences Miami Design District is the first U.S. residential project from Kempinski Hotels, a brand with more than 150 years of European hospitality heritage: two 23-story towers at 3801 and 3883 Biscayne Boulevard, connected by a fourth-floor amenity bridge. Per the developer, residences range from two to four bedrooms, plus townhomes and duplex penthouses, with pricing from $3.7 million and completion anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2029. A sales gallery is already open at 455 NE 38th Street.

The Miami Design District™ has spent two decades transforming into one of the world’s most internationally recognized retail and cultural corridors. Kempinski’s arrival adds something new to that story: a residential address shaped by a hotel brand whose reputation was built on service, and the first time the group has put its name on homes in the United States.

What Is Kempinski Residences Miami Design District?

The development comprises two 23-story towers at 3801 and 3883 Biscayne Boulevard, connected by a fourth-floor amenity bridge, an architectural move that ties the buildings into a single resident experience rather than two separate addresses sharing a name. The developer is DaGrosa Capital Development Partners LLC, and the design team was assembled to translate Kempinski’s hospitality pedigree into a residential format: architecture by Arquitectonica, interiors by Rockwell Group and landscape design by Enea.

The layout spreads a resort-style program across both towers, including twin pool decks, a dedicated yoga lawn and a landscaped pedestrian alley linking the two buildings beneath the bridge. Per the developer, approximately 70,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities span the towers, among them an 85-foot lap pool with cabanas and a sun shelf, a beach-entry pool, a full spa with treatment rooms, a padel court, a golf simulator, private dining and a dedicated house car for each tower.

Day-to-day operations are to be managed directly by Kempinski, according to the developer, and that is the heart of the proposition. The goal is for full-time residents to receive the same intimacy and service standards as Kempinski hotel guests, without leaving their homes.

Kempinski’s decision to debut its U.S. residential presence in Miami is intentional. The city has spent the past several years establishing itself as a global gateway, drawing ultra-high-net-worth buyers who once defaulted to New York or California for their U.S. real estate. ISG World, the sales team behind the project, has pointed to strong international buyer demand from Latin America, the Middle East and Turkey, a sign that Miami has become a genuine landing point for global capital rather than a seasonal market or a secondary stop behind New York or Los Angeles.

The Residences: Bedroom Mix, Townhomes and Penthouses

Per the developer, the project comprises 132 residences and six townhomes, with 17 resident-only guest suites. Residences are offered in two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts, with duplex penthouses beginning on the 22nd floor. Floors are planned with four residences each, and the tower homes are corner residences with private elevator access. Many terraces exceed 500 square feet, and the guest suites give owners a place to host visitors.

Inside, the renderings are organized around the water. Primary suites open onto spa-style bathrooms with freestanding tubs positioned toward Biscayne Bay, while kitchens are finished in waterfall marble with bay-facing islands. The developer also specifies custom European cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances.

Kempinski Residences Pricing and Availability

Per the developer’s current pricing, as listed on our project page (last updated August 2026), two-bedroom residences start at $3.7 million, three-bedroom residences at $4.65 million and four-bedroom residences at $5 million. The Haute Residence new-developments index lists entry pricing at approximately $1,700 per square foot. Sales are open through ISG World, and completion is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2029.

In a pre-construction launch, pricing, deposit schedules and remaining inventory move quickly, so treat those figures as starting points. Current pricing and available residences are released on request through the project team. HL Real Estate Group can request the latest package on your behalf and compare it with other new developments in the Design District.

Kempinski Residences Floor Plans: How to Request Them

Floor plans, residence sizes and deposit schedules change as inventory sells, so the most current set is shared on request rather than published. Use the request form to receive the latest floor plans, available residences and pricing from HL Real Estate Group’s new-development team, complimentary and with no obligation.

Buyers who would rather see the product in person can visit the sales gallery at 455 NE 38th Street, where finishes and layouts can be previewed ahead of delivery. When you review plans, ask which residences face Biscayne Bay, which carry the larger terraces, and how the townhomes and duplex penthouses differ from the tower layouts.

Living in the Miami Design District

The Miami Design District™ is a pedestrian-scale enclave of art, fashion and dining set within an 18-block footprint, where flagship boutiques such as Louis Vuitton and Dior share the streets with the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami). Downtown and Brickell are a short drive away.

For buyers evaluating branded residences across Miami’s luxury geography, the project offers a rare combination:

The first Kempinski-branded residential project in the United States, backed by more than 150 years of hospitality heritage.
A Miami Design District™ address, placing residents inside the city’s retail and cultural corridor and a short drive from Downtown and Brickell.
Day-to-day operations managed by Kempinski, per the developer, with around-the-clock hospitality service.
A sales gallery already open at 455 NE 38th Street, allowing buyers to preview finishes and layouts in person ahead of delivery.

Kempinski is not the only hospitality name arriving in the neighborhood.
