‘One Island Drive’ With Two Towers Designed By Kohn Pedersen Fox, Set To Soar Over 800 Feet On Brickell Key

Swire Properties has recently made an exhilarating announcement, unveiling initial information about an exceptional project called One Island Drive. This remarkable endeavor harmoniously integrates residential and hospitality services within a serene island setting, conveniently located near the vibrant downtown of Miami. Boasting an enviable waterfront position, One Island Drive is poised to claim a prestigious spot in Swire Properties' illustrious portfolio while becoming a prominent and distinguished addition to Miami's captivating skyline.

Sales will launch in late 2023, with prices starting at $3.5 MILLION.

Nestled at the southernmost tip of Brickell Key, One Island Drive finds its place within the meticulously crafted island community meticulously developed by Swire Properties for over four decades. This exceptional project is poised to transform into a serene oasis, boasting two remarkable towers that engage in a captivating architectural conversation. Each tower boasts a distinctive design language, diverging from the conventional Miami skyline to create a visually striking ensemble that harmoniously coexists.

The primary tower, soaring impressively to a height surpassing 800 feet, is home to 'The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami.' Embracing the daring essence of deconstructivist architecture, this tower exudes a captivating allure. Its exterior showcases a captivating interplay of subtle curves, resulting in a visually intricate aesthetic. The textured shell superstructure of the tower serves as an architectural marvel, with exposed columns and slabs creating a distinctive curvilinear silhouette. Adding to its visual impact on the skyline, the tower culminates in an undulating and punctuated skeletal crown. Within this tower reside The Residences, an exclusive collection of 220 private homes ranging from two to four bedrooms. These homes boast expansive floorplans of up to 4,700 square feet, with the crown jewels being two extraordinary duplex penthouses, sprawling over 6,000 square feet each.

In contrast, the second tower gracefully rises to a height of around 400 feet, seamlessly harmonizing with its counterpart through a more understated design approach. Though characterized by a uniform and streamlined structural shell, it exudes its own captivating allure. Within this tower, the highly anticipated North American Mandarin Oriental hotel will find its home, showcasing a distinct sloping crown that adds a striking contrast to the Miami skyline. The tower will accommodate 151 guest rooms, as well as 61 private residences and 28 hotel residences, each exuding an essence of refined elegance and sophistication.

Within both towers, a deliberate architectural choice is made to recess the glass exterior from the shell, creating a captivating interplay of light and shadow. Bands of glass gracefully traverse the continuous curvilinear balconies that envelop the structures, adding an element of elegance and visual allure. This meticulous design nuance enhances the unique texture and overall aesthetic of the buildings. Such attention to detail exemplifies Swire Properties' dedication to innovative architecture, cultivating a cohesive yet undeniably distinctive vision for One Island Drive.

One Island Drive will stand as an embodiment of refined luxury along the waterfront, representing an unprecedented collaboration brought to life by a globally acclaimed design team, each at the vanguard of their respective domains. Kohn Pederson Fox Associates (KPF) will shape the visionary exterior architecture, redefining the city's skyline with their bold and innovative designs. Parisian designer Tristan Auer will infuse his discerning aesthetic vision into the interiors of The Residences, elevating them to new levels of elegance and sophistication. Meanwhile, the hotel interiors will be crafted by Laura Gonzalez, an esteemed Parisian designer recognized in the AD 100 and Elle Décor A-List. Lastly, the landscape architecture will be masterfully executed by the renowned Thai firm Shma, ensuring a harmonious integration of nature and urbanity. Notably, this marks the first foray into the United States for Auer, Gonzalez, and Shma, signifying the significance of this exceptional project.

“We are delighted to carry on our longstanding relationship with Swire Properties as we embark on our second iteration of outstanding hospitality within Miami,” said James Riley, CEO of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. “Twenty-three years ago, Swire and Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group joined forces to open Mandarin Oriental, Miami, forever elevating the level of hospitality in the destination. With One Island Drive we will do it again, offering residents and hotel guests the highest level of service, accommodation, and luxury amenities, all of which are synonymous with the Mandarin Oriental brand.”
