The Note
30 August 2026

This is the reference note. It is the building described plainly, from the ground up, with the figures we can attribute to the developer's published material and the public record, given in ranges where sources differ. The desk at Miami Dossier keeps it current as the release changes. A companion note on the practical decisions is linked at the end.

The river mouth

The Miami River enters Biscayne Bay between Brickell and Downtown, under the Brickell Avenue bridge. The south bank at the mouth is the northern edge of Brickell: Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village a short walk south, Bayfront Park and Downtown across the bridge, and the Brickell Metromover and Brightline stations nearby.

The site

On the south bank at the river mouth, beside the bridge, with a riverfront promenade. Permitted at 99 SE 5th Street and marketed as 444 Brickell Avenue, reflecting its frontage on the avenue.

The tower

Seventy-five storeys, reported at roughly 835 feet, designed by Arquitectonica. Residences begin on the 15th floor above the podium; the penthouses occupy the top three levels. John Moriarty and Associates is the general contractor. The structure passed the 40th floor in early 2026.

Your situation is specific. Tell the desk in one message and we will say what applies to you, what does not, and who to speak with.

The three kinds of home

Roughly 324 tower residences from one to four bedrooms, reported between roughly 1,300 and 3,700 square feet interior. Eight penthouses, reported to roughly 7,000 square feet and above. Twenty-eight riverfront flats and duplexes on the promenade at the base. Roughly 360 homes in all.

The residences

Flow-through plans, key-activated private elevator access with an entry vestibule in every home, ceilings of about ten feet in the tower and 11 to 12 in the penthouses, eight-foot-deep terraces with wraparound corners on select lines, floor-to-ceiling glass, custom Italian cabinetry by Meyer Davis with a selection of stone counters and full backsplashes, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove appliances, dual walk-in wardrobes.

The interiors and the landscape

Meyer Davis Studio, New York, on the interiors, with a permanent art collection through the public spaces. Enzo Enea on the gardens, the riverfront promenade and the pool deck.

The amenities

More than 75,000 square feet, per published material. A grand lobby with three banks of double private elevators; a secluded riverfront arrival court and porte-cochere; a waterfront restaurant of roughly 10,000 square feet; a gourmet market; a wine cellar and tasting room; a chef's kitchen and private dining room; a 12th-floor deck with a zero-entry saltwater pool, outdoor spa, cabanas and a summer kitchen; a fitness centre with cardio theatre, spinning, yoga and meditation rooms; a spa with La Mer facilities; a club room, a game room, a children's playroom, a business centre and private workspaces; a private marina with a residents' yacht.

Where these facts come from

This note is compiled from the developer's published material for Baccarat Residences, 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.

The questions around the building

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about Baccarat Residences Brickell 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 Baccarat Residences Brickell 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.

Compared With

Where Baccarat Residences Brickell sits against the rest

Nobody chooses Baccarat Residences Brickell in isolation. The desk at Miami Dossier weighs it against The St Regis Residences Miami, Brickell, and sets it beside every other building in Brickell and Brickell Key on the Brickell and Brickell Key cluster. If the question underneath yours is really what a brand is obliged to do after closing, start there instead.
