The implosion of the Mandarin Oriental on Brickell Key marks more than the end of a building and signals the start of one of the most ambitious luxury developments Miami has ever seen.<\/p>\n

The original hotel opened in 2000 after roughly three years of construction, becoming a key and defining fixture of Brickell Key and setting the tone for waterfront luxury in Miami for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

What replaces it will be on an entirely different scale.<\/p>\n

The site is being redeveloped into a two-tower project known as The Residences at Mandarin Oriental.<\/a> One tower, with 66 stories and rising more than 800 feet, will house exclusive ultra-luxury residences, while a second, smaller -33 stories tower – will feature a new Mandarin Oriental hotel along with additional branded residences.<\/p>\n

But this is not just a rebuild, it\u2019s a move upmarket, even by Miami standards.<\/p>\n

Condo prices are expected to start in the $4\u20135 million range and climb to nearly $100 million<\/a> for the top penthouses, placing it among the most expensive residential offerings in Miami history.<\/p>\n

The hotel itself<\/a> will be more boutique than the original, with roughly 120\u2013150 rooms, reflecting a move toward exclusivity and residential-style living rather than large-scale hospitality.<\/p>\n

Construction is expected to start in 2026, with completion targeted<\/a> around 2030.<\/p>\n

So, while today\u2019s implosion lasted only seconds, it clears the way for a five-year transformation, one that will once again, redefine Brickell Key, this time at the very top end of the global luxury market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The implosion of the Mandarin Oriental on Brickell Key marks more than the end of a building and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[30129,102902,102897,126,102899,102806,102903,102895,102896,123,125,102898,124,948,102901,102900],"class_list":{"0":"post-228993","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-brickell-key","9":"tag-brickell-key-new-towers","10":"tag-brickell-key-redevelopment","11":"tag-key-biscayne","12":"tag-luxury-condos-miami","13":"tag-mandarin-oriental","14":"tag-mandarin-oriental-hotel-miami-demolition","15":"tag-mandarin-oriental-miami-implosion","16":"tag-mandarin-oriental-residences-miami","17":"tag-miami","18":"tag-miami-headlines","19":"tag-miami-luxury-condos-100-million","20":"tag-miami-news","21":"tag-miami-real-estate","22":"tag-miami-real-estate-development-2030","23":"tag-swire-properties-brickell-key-project"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
