The avenue, the site, the planned tower, the residences, the hotel programme, the status and the numbers behind 888 Brickell by Dolce&Gabbana, compiled by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public record.
Written by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public construction record, for readers who want the facts of the building rather than the adjectives. Figures are given in ranges where sources differ. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese. All notes from the desk.
This is the reference note. It is the building described plainly, as planned, with the figures we can attribute to the developer's published material and the public record, given in ranges where sources differ, and with construction status stated as a fact alongside the others. The desk at Miami Dossier keeps it current. A companion note on the practical decisions is linked at the end.
The 800 block of Brickell Avenue is the centre of the financial district, between the Miami River to the north and the residential run of the avenue to the south, a few minutes on foot from Brickell City Centre, Mary Brickell Village and the Metromover.
888 Brickell Avenue, acquired by JDS Development Group in 2023. The existing building on the site was to be demolished; a demolition permit filing was reported in 2024.
Miami-Dade approved the tower in June 2024. As of the public record in summer 2026: no vertical construction reported; construction financing not reported as closed; the developer described in reporting as still securing debt; a lawsuit by the project's former sales brokerage over fees reported in May 2026. Published delivery estimates have ranged from 2027 to 2029. The desk at Miami Dossier confirms the current status on request.

This note is compiled from the developer's published material for 888 Brickell by Dolce&Gabbana, the public construction record and the reporting around it, cross-referenced so that no figure rests on a single source. Where sources differ the note gives a range rather than a number. The desk at Miami Dossier obtains the current floor plans, release and deposit schedule directly on request and reads them with buyers; anything material should be confirmed against the developer's own documents. We do not represent the developer and we hold no position in the building.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about 888 Brickell by Dolce&Gabbana are not only choosing a building. They are moving to Miami from New York, California, London, Bogotá, Mexico City or São Paulo, or adding a Miami position to a portfolio held elsewhere, and the building question sits inside a larger one: how to buy new construction in Miami, how to hold it, and what changes when you do.
The desk keeps short notes on the parts that come up every week: how buying preconstruction in Miami actually works, what a normal deposit schedule looks like, whether you need to be in Miami to buy, whether a foreign buyer can get a mortgage, what taxes a foreign buyer pays on a Miami condo, and the Florida state income tax question for anyone relocating from a high-tax state. For buyers arriving from a specific market there are notes for Bogotá, Mexico City and London, and a broader one on why so many wealthy families are moving to Miami.
Read the ones that apply, then bring the rest to the desk at Miami Dossier. It usually takes one conversation to see how 888 Brickell by Dolce&Gabbana fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.
This note is general information for people considering Miami, written by a real estate desk, not by a law or accounting firm. Nothing here is legal, tax, immigration or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own circumstances. Rules change, treaties differ by country, and the right answer for one family is the wrong answer for another.
Speak with your own attorney and CPA before you commit to anything. If you do not have one who works with international buyers in Florida, the desk is glad to recommend an attorney, a CPA or an adviser suited to your situation, and to sit in the first conversation so that nothing is lost in translation.
Structure, financing, currency, timing, the right building and the right line: the desk works through these questions with international buyers every week, and the answer is nearly always that it can be done, in order, without surprises. If Miami is on your mind, as a home or as an allocation, we would be glad to share what we are seeing, privately, and to start with the question this note did not answer.
