Highest-Priced Miami Pre-Construction Condos: 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana

888 Brickell is the first fashion-branded residential tower in Miami — a 1,049-foot, 90-story building topped by a golden sculpture, with all 259 residences fully furnished by Dolce & Gabbana Casa and architecture by Studio Sofield. At completion in Q2 2029, it will share Miami's height ceiling with the Waldorf Astoria Residences — both at 1,049 ft.

This is the eighth profile in our highest-priced Miami pre-construction condo series.

Why It Sits Near the Top of the Market

Three structural reasons 888 Brickell is in the trophy conversation:

1. First fashion-branded residence in Miami. Hotel-branded buildings are common; fashion-house-branded residential is much rarer. Bvlgari, Armani, Fendi, and Missoni have done branded residences globally — but Miami's first true full-furnishing-by-the-fashion-house project is 888 Brickell.
2. Studio Sofield + D&G Casa pairing. Studio Sofield (Tom Ford flagship stores, Bottega Veneta New York, the recently completed Aman New York residences) is one of the most credentialed names in U.S. luxury residential. Pairing them with D&G's furnishing program is a deliberate signal to the global luxury buyer pool.
3. 30,000 sf trophy penthouse. A three-story crown penthouse on floors 88–90 of a 90-story building is itself a marketable identity — and the kind of unit international trophy buyers cross-shop against townhouses and large estates rather than other condos.

Pricing Reality

Public marketing places starts around $2.5M, with 2- to 4-bedroom residences spanning the $2.5M–$15M range, and top product (full-floor penthouse + the 30,000 sf trophy penthouse) cited up to ~$35M. Per-square-foot pricing on top inventory clears $3,000–$3,500/sf, with the trophy penthouse priced separately as a one-of-a-kind.

Importantly, all 259 residences are delivered fully furnished by D&G Casa — that's part of the price. Furnishing-included pricing is non-trivial; an equivalent unfurnished comparison should net out the ~$300–$600/sf furnishing premium.

What Makes the Product Different

Concrete distinctions versus other Brickell pre-construction:

• All residences fully furnished by D&G Casa — fabric, lighting, hardware, and accent pieces designed to coordinated standards
• Studio Sofield architecture — controlled palette and proportions versus typical Brickell glass towers
• 115,000 sf of amenity program — meaningfully larger than typical Brickell branded residences
• Three-story crown penthouse — top trophy product with a 30,000 sf footprint
• Indoor padel court + IV therapy + tailor shop — amenity mix targeted at full-time international residents

The amenity stack is broad:

• 44-foot lap pool, expansive 3,800 sf pool club with cabanas and two poolside bars
• Private resident lounge, theater, billiards, children's playroom, creative workspaces
• Indoor padel court, fitness center, full spa with hot/cold plunge
• IV therapy, salon, tailor shop, yoga studio
• Italian gelateria, all-day dining restaurant
• Concierge, valet, and brand-aligned service standards

Buyer Fit

888 Brickell is a fit for:

• International buyers cross-shopping branded residences globally (Bvlgari, Armani Casa, Fendi, Six Senses)
• Owners who specifically want full-furnish convenience without coordinating their own interior team
• Buyers comparing across Cipriani Residences Brickell, 1428 Brickell, Baccarat Residences Brickell, and Waldorf Astoria Residences
• Trophy buyers targeting the 30,000 sf crown penthouse as a one-of-one Miami residence

It's probably not the right fit for:

• Buyers with their own design preferences who don't want a brand-defined interior
• Investors targeting short-term-rental yield (Brickell condo-hotel rules vary; verify this building's policy)
• Buyers focused on oceanfront — this is downtown skyline product

How It Compares to Other Brickell Pre-Construction

Within Brickell, the relevant comparable supertall / branded residential set:

Among these, 888 Brickell's clearest differentiator is the brand interior commitment. The Waldorf trades on hotel service + height; 888 Brickell trades on a fully designed living environment with a fashion-house identity.

The Risk Side

Specific to 888 Brickell:

• Q2 2029 delivery is far — pre-construction risk extends across more years; underwrite deposit pacing and assignment rights
• Brand relationship dependency — if the D&G partnership weakens, the furnishing/maintenance program could change. Verify what's contractual versus marketing
• Resale of furnished residences — buyers may discount furnish premium at resale; trophy penthouses behave differently
• Construction at 1,049 ft — supertall projects routinely face delays; underwrite slippage
• HOA + service fees — 115,000 sf of amenities + fully serviced standards = meaningful monthly carry

Bottom Line

888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana is the first true fashion-branded residence in Miami and one of two supertalls (with the Waldorf Astoria) reshaping the city's skyline. $2.5M starts, $35M ceiling, 30,000 sf trophy penthouse. Fully furnished by D&G Casa, designed by Studio Sofield, and built around a 115,000 sf amenity program.

For buyers who want a turnkey, brand-defined trophy in central Miami — and who specifically value fashion-house pedigree over hotel pedigree — this is the most distinctive project on the list.
