Una Residences delivers 135 private-elevator homes on scarce South Brickell bayfront — a swooping Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill tower completing in 2026.
Key Takeaways
- Una Residences sits on direct Biscayne Bay frontage in South Brickell — among the scarcest land left in Miami's most in-demand district.
- The 47-story OKO Group tower holds just 135 private-elevator homes, designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill (architects of the world's tallest buildings).
- Delivering in 2026 with limited remaining inventory, it's a scarcity-and-waterfront play aimed squarely at global luxury buyers.
In Miami real estate, they're not making any more waterfront. That's not a cliché — it's the entire investment thesis behind the best buildings in this city. And in South Brickell, where direct bayfront parcels are essentially extinct, Una Residences is one of the last towers to claim that kind of land. As Miami's #1 real estate agent, I pay close attention to projects where the dirt itself is irreplaceable. This is one of them.
What Una Residences Brickell Actually Is
Una Residences is a 47-story luxury waterfront condominium at 175 SE 25th Road in South Brickell, overlooking Biscayne Bay. It's developed by OKO Group — the Vladislav Doronin firm behind some of Miami's most ambitious luxury projects — in partnership with Cain International, and designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, the firm responsible for some of the tallest buildings on earth, including the Burj Khalifa lineage of supertalls.
The tower holds only 135 residences, each with private elevator entry, ranging from roughly 1,100 to 4,786 square feet. The design is unmistakable: a swooping, sail-like silhouette inspired by speed and movement, unlike the boxy glass towers around it. Construction is in its final stretch, with the last residences delivering in 2026 — so this is pre-construction product that's nearly real, with the delivery risk largely behind it.
Pricing and Scarcity
Una's pricing reflects its waterfront rarity. Earlier-phase units launched in the $900,000s, while current and larger residences run from the mid-single-millions up to roughly $10.8 million for the top homes. With only 135 units total and the building nearly complete, remaining availability is limited — which is exactly the dynamic that protects value at the top of the market.
The OKO Group and Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill pairing is the same caliber of design pedigree I've highlighted in other trophy projects, like "LILLI Edgewater: OKO Group's 53-Story Boutique Bayfront Tower Just Launched Sales." Una is the more mature, more waterfront-exclusive sibling in that family of OKO bayfront towers.
Why South Brickell, and Why the Water Matters
Brickell is Miami's financial heart — the densest, most walkable, most internationally connected urban core in the Southeast. But most of Brickell's towers look at other towers. Direct, unobstructed bay frontage with no buildings between you and the water is the rarest commodity in the district, and Una has it. Floor-to-ceiling glass takes full advantage of a setting that simply can't be replicated, because the land to replicate it no longer exists.
For the full picture of what living in this district actually offers — the walkability, the dining, the business ecosystem — see my "Living in Brickell 2026: The Miami Neighborhood Guide for Professionals, Investors, and Business Owners." Una is Brickell luxury with the one thing most of Brickell can't offer: open water at your feet.
Design and Amenities
Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill designed Una as a boutique, intensely private experience rather than a mass-market high-rise. With private-elevator entries and just 135 homes, residents aren't fighting crowds for amenities. Expect a curated wellness and amenity program built around the waterfront setting — pools and decks oriented to the bay, fitness and spa facilities, residential service, and direct connection to the water that defines the building's identity. The boutique unit count is itself an amenity: privacy, in a city where most luxury towers pack hundreds or thousands of units.
- Miami Market Snapshot — Q1 2026:
- Mainland Miami luxury condo average price: up 18% year-over-year, with price per square foot up 9% (Q1 2026)
- Median Miami-Dade condo sale price overall: $680,000 (up 3.8% YoY)
- Active condo inventory countywide: 10,797 units, up 31% YoY — but waterfront, scarcity-driven product behaves independently of the broad market
- International demand is rising sharply, amplified by World Cup-driven foreign interest in South Florida this year
That last point is central to Una's thesis. Brickell waterfront is one of the first things wealthy international buyers from Latin America and Europe look for, and the current surge of foreign capital into Miami plays directly to a building like this. When supply is fixed at 135 and demand is global and growing, the math favors the owner.
The Investment Case — and Who This Is For
The thesis: irreplaceable bayfront land, a boutique 135-unit count, world-class architecture, near-complete construction, and a global buyer pool. While Miami's broad condo market has cooled and inventory has climbed, the luxury waterfront tier kept appreciating through Q1 2026 — and Una sits squarely in that protected segment.
This is the right project for a luxury buyer or business owner who wants a primary or secondary residence with true open-water views and Brickell walkability, or an international buyer seeking a trophy asset with deep global resale liquidity. It's the wrong project if you need an entry-level price or a high-volume short-term-rental income strategy — Una is a privacy-and-appreciation play, not a yield play.
Because this is high-stakes pre-construction nearing delivery, get your due diligence right; my "How to Buy Pre-Construction in Miami: The 2026 Deposit Schedule, Timeline, and Risk Playbook Every Buyer Needs" covers exactly what to verify before you close.
