Aman Residences Miami Beach: ten reasons buyers choose it

Aman Residences, Miami Beach is an 18-storey tower of roughly 22 residences at 3425 Collins Avenue in the Faena District, by OKO Group and Access Industries, designed by Kengo Kuma, beside the restored Versailles Hotel which becomes a 56-key Aman with interiors by Jean-Michel Gathy. It is the first Aman residences in the continental United States, sold out at launch, vertical since 2025 and guided for 2027. Here is what the buyers who choose it are choosing.

Written by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public construction record, cross-referenced across several sources, with anything unconfirmed flagged. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese and does not represent the developer. All notes from the desk.

The Note
30 August 2026

The desk at Miami Dossier covers a small number of Miami buildings closely rather than the whole market lightly. Aman Miami Beach is one the desk is asked about every week, usually by buyers who know it sold out at launch and want to know how to get in, and this note is compiled from the developer's published material and the public record rather than from a brochure summary. It is the list of reasons buyers give when they choose this building, in the order we hear them, with the facts behind each one.

One. The first Aman in the continental United States

Aman has one residence in North America, at the Crown Building in New York. This is its second, and the first outside Manhattan: roughly 22 homes on the ocean in Miami Beach with a 56-key Aman hotel beside them. Aman does not license its name widely, and its owner is the developer here. The desk at Miami Dossier reads that as the first reason.

Two. Roughly 22 homes

Published counts sit at 22 to 23 residences across 18 storeys. It is the smallest new oceanfront residential building on Mid-Beach and one of the smallest in Miami at this level, which is the point of Aman.

Three. Kengo Kuma

Kengo Kuma, the Japanese architect of the Tokyo national stadium and the V&A Dundee, designed the tower in his first Miami residential work: a tiered, scalloped form of roughly 250 feet in angular lines and soft curves, in Japanese-inspired materials that answer the Art Deco street.

Four. The Versailles Hotel, 1941, as the Aman

The historic Versailles, designed by Roy France and completed in 1941, is preserved and restored beside the tower as a 56-room Aman hotel with interiors by Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, Aman's long-standing designer. The residents have an Aman at the door.

Five. The Faena District

3425 Collins Avenue sits in the Faena District on Mid-Beach, beside Faena House, the Faena Hotel and the Faena Forum, the stretch of Collins that Access Industries assembled into the most curated few blocks on the island.

Six. Sold out at launch

Public reporting records the residences fully presold in 2021, at a reported average around the highest per-foot figures in the city. Availability now runs through assignment of early contracts and, after delivery, resale. The desk at Miami Dossier tracks both.

Seven. OKO Group and Access Industries

OKO Group is Vladislav Doronin's firm, and Doronin is the chairman and chief executive of Aman itself. Access Industries is Len Blavatnik's firm, the investor behind the Faena District. The brand, the developer and the district share owners.

Eight. A foundation built for the seawall

Below-grade work ran for years: deep soil mixing to stabilise the beachfront ground, a two-level underground parking structure, and a foundation system that the general contractor, Suffolk, completed before going vertical in August 2025 at roughly a floor every two weeks.

Nine. Topped out, or nearly, and guided for 2027

Top-out was projected for early 2026 and delivery is guided for 2027. On a purchase by assignment, a building this far advanced carries little construction risk.

Ten. Aman as the operator

Aman's residential service, its spa and its dining come from a hotel of 56 keys next door rather than from a licence. The desk at Miami Dossier distinguishes between a brand on the door and a brand operating on the site; this is the second kind, and at Aman's scale.

What the desk at Miami Dossier can send on Aman Miami Beach

The current assignment market and, after delivery, the resale market, the floor plans by line, and the terms of any contract offered, obtained directly on request, together with our own floor plan analysis and an honest comparison against the Shoreclub and The Perigon on the same island. Ask for it and it arrives from the desk at Miami Dossier the same day, usually by WhatsApp, with our opinion attached, whether that opinion is Aman or another building.

The questions around the building

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about Aman Residences Miami Beach 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 Aman Residences Miami Beach fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.

A Note on Advice

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.

The Desk

Everything in this note has a solution.

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.
