Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is a Related Group tower designed by Piero Lissoni, completing in Summer 2026 with prices starting at $1 million. The project is one of the very few Italian furniture-brand-designed residential towers anywhere in the world — and B&B Italia residences come fully curated with their furniture collection. Casa Bella sits at a meaningful price point inside a Downtown Miami submarket that is rapidly establishing itself as the new center of branded residential gravity.
Most branded residences in Miami are designed by a brand consultant and named after the brand. Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia is a different animal — it's actually designed by Piero Lissoni, B&B Italia's longtime creative collaborator and one of the most respected industrial designers in the world, and the residences themselves are curated with the Italian furniture house's own collections. The brand isn't a label. It's the entire experience.
The tower is set to complete in Summer 2026 — which means we're now inside the final delivery window — and prices currently start at $1 million.
The Developer: Related Group, Again
Casa Bella is a Related Group project. Their execution track record is among the strongest in the city, and they have a specific institutional capability for delivering branded products on time, on budget, and with the brand experience intact. Related has built and delivered these projects through multiple market cycles, and they have the infrastructure to manage a multi-tower delivery without the kinds of finish-quality compromises that smaller developers sometimes accept under cost pressure.
For a Summer 2026 delivery, Related's track record is the single biggest reason to take the completion target seriously.
The Designer: Piero Lissoni
Piero Lissoni is not a name a developer hires for cachet. He is one of the most respected design directors in Italian industrial design history, with B&B Italia, Boffi, Cassina, Knoll, and a long roster of luxury hospitality projects on his résumé. His work is defined by restraint — clean geometry, honest materials, restrained color palettes, and a specific quality of light.
Lissoni's involvement in Casa Bella isn't a logo on a brochure. He directed the building's architectural language, interior design, and amenity programming, and the residences themselves are curated with B&B Italia's own collections — meaning you're not just buying a Lissoni-designed apartment, you're buying one with a specific furniture story already integrated.
The Location and the Price Point
Casa Bella is located in Downtown Miami's Arts & Entertainment District, adjacent to the Miami Design District — the natural cultural neighborhood for a B&B Italia-branded tower.
Prices start at $1 million, with eleven different floor plan options available. That's a notably accessible entry point relative to other branded residential towers in Miami — for comparison, the St. Regis Residences Brickell cleared $1 billion in 90 days at premium pricing, and Cipriani Residences Brickell is averaging over $2,000 per SqFt. Casa Bella's $1M starting price represents a real opening for buyers who want branded design pedigree without trophy pricing.
The eleven floor plan options matter too. Most branded buildings offer three or four standard configurations; eleven is wide enough that buyers can match a unit to their specific use case — primary residence, secondary residence, investor product, or a combination.
The Amenities: Hospitality Programming, Residential Calm
The amenity package is designed in keeping with the Italian residential aesthetic that Lissoni is known for — restrained, sophisticated, and useful rather than spectacular:
- A poolside lounge with a Mediterranean café, designed to function as an everyday space rather than a special-occasion amenity
- A craft cocktails bar
- Garden-filled grounds — meaningful in a city where most branded towers prioritize hard surfaces over landscape
- B&B Italia curated furniture collections in the residences themselves, integrated as part of the unit delivery
The Investor Case
A Summer 2026 delivery in Downtown Miami at a $1M+ entry price into a Piero Lissoni-designed, B&B Italia-branded tower built by Related Group is a specific kind of asset.
- Branded residences in Miami have consistently commanded 25–35% pricing premiums over comparable non-branded product, both at initial sale and on resale
- The Downtown-Midtown corridor is in active expansion — the Miami Worldcenter master plan and the Design District cultural anchor all support a structural premium for this submarket
- A Summer 2026 completion means the building enters the market when the broader Miami condo glut is at its widest — but that glut is concentrated in older resale product, not new branded delivery
What to Do Before Completion Delivery
Walk the building before contracting. With a Summer 2026 delivery, the building is far enough along that you can actually see the finish quality, the view from your specific unit's floor, and the amenity build-out as it exists today — not as a rendering.
Validate the B&B Italia furniture package. Confirm which collections are included in your specific unit, what is upgradable, and what the post-closing furniture-replacement economics look like.
Get the building's HOA fee, special assessment policy, and rental restrictions in writing before contracting. Newly delivering branded residences sometimes set initial assessments that ramp meaningfully in years two and three — know what you're inheriting.
