Kempinski Residences Miami Design District — A 129-Year-Old Brand Makes Its U.S. Home
Kempinski Residences Miami Design District: A 129-Year-Old Brand Makes Its U.S. Home
DaGrosa Capital Development Partners brings Europe's oldest independent luxury hotel company to the Miami Design District's gateway — two 23-story towers with 128 residences, six townhomes and 18 resident-only guest suites, connected by an elevated sky bridge.
Kempinski has been in the business of European hospitality since 1897 — long enough to have refined what it calls "The Good Life" across more than a century of grand hotels. What it has never done, until now, is put its name on a standalone residence in the United States. Kempinski Residences Miami Design District is that debut, and it lands at the gateway to one of America's most design-forward neighborhoods.
Developed by DaGrosa Capital Development Partners, the Miami-based firm led by founder and chairman Joseph DaGrosa, in partnership with Kempinski Group, the project rises as two architecturally linked 23-story towers at 3801 and 3883 Biscayne Boulevard. To get oriented in the neighborhood first, explore our coverage of South Florida's newest luxury residences.
"Miami is where timeless luxury and visionary development converge at the highest level — the ideal setting to introduce Europe's oldest luxury hospitality brand."
The design team reinforces the ambition. Architecture is by Arquitectonica, one of Miami's most recognizable firms, with interiors by the internationally acclaimed Rockwell Group and landscape architecture by Enea — a collaboration shaped by the Design District's legacy of bold architecture and thoughtful urban integration.
Two towers, four homes per floor
The plan is deliberately exclusive. Across two 23-story towers, the development holds just 128 condominium residences — only four homes per floor — alongside six private townhomes and 18 guest suites reserved exclusively for residents to purchase for their visitors. That low density is the point: corner exposures, generous floor plates, and a genuine sense of privacy in a market where towers routinely stack far more units per level.
Homes range from two to four bedrooms, with interiors measuring approximately 2,100 to 3,100 square feet and total living areas reaching up to roughly 3,700 square feet, each wrapped by expansive private terraces with sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Downtown Miami skyline. Pricing opens at $3.7 million.
A sky bridge, twin pools, and 150 years of service
The two towers are joined by an elevated fourth-floor amenities sky bridge — the architectural signature of the project and the connective tissue of its lifestyle program. The amenity deck layers in twin pool decks, a yoga lawn, and a landscaped porte cochère for arrivals, all set against the Design District's creative backdrop.
But the real differentiator, as with any true branded residence, is the service. Kempinski's 150-year legacy of hospitality — rooted in heritage, service excellence and the art of fine living — is what separates this from a conventional luxury condominium. The resident-only guest suites, the branded management, and the anticipatory service model extend the feeling of a grand European hotel into full-time residential life.

Living at the district's gateway
Location does much of the work here. Positioned where Biscayne Bay views meet the district's luxury retail corridors and the creative energy of nearby Wynwood, the towers place residents at the threshold of a neighborhood globally known for its blend of art, architecture, fashion and Michelin-starred dining — with Midtown, Edgewater and Downtown all within easy reach.
Why it matters for buyers
Miami's pre-construction cycle is crowded, which makes genuine differentiation valuable. As the first standalone U.S. residence from Europe's oldest independent luxury hotel company — on a scarce Design District gateway site, with only four homes per floor and a serious architecture-and-interiors team — Kempinski occupies a distinct niche. Heritage brands with this depth of hospitality experience are exactly the operators that tend to hold value as the branded-residence category matures.
There are trade-offs worth naming. This is a pre-construction branded residence with a fourth-quarter 2029 completion, meaning a multi-year wait and the usual risk that timelines and specifications evolve. Branded residences also carry premium pricing and association fees for the service that defines them. But for buyers who want European heritage, low-density privacy, and hotel-grade service at the entrance to one of the world's great design neighborhoods, few Miami opportunities pair this brand, scale and location.
