Baccarat Residences is a 75-storey tower of roughly 360 homes where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay, marketed at 444 Brickell Avenue, by Related Group and GTIS Partners, designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Meyer Davis and landscape by Enzo Enea, managed by SH Hotels and Resorts. 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 desk at Miami Dossier covers a small number of Miami buildings closely rather than the whole market lightly. Baccarat Residences is one the desk is asked about every week, 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.
The site sits at the mouth of the Miami River, beside the Brickell Avenue bridge, with the river on one side and Biscayne Bay opening ahead. Water on two faces at the base of a tower is rare in Brickell, where most buildings face other buildings. This is the reason the desk at Miami Dossier reads Baccarat as a position before it reads it as a brand.
The tower is reported to rise to roughly 835 feet across 75 storeys, with the residences beginning on the 15th floor above the podium and the penthouses on the top three. Views run over the river, the bay and the skyline from every residence in the published material.
Arquitectonica designed the tower as a slender glass form on the water, faceted to catch light, in reference to the crystal house whose name it carries. The practice designed a large share of the Brickell skyline and this is one of its tallest.
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.
Meyer Davis Studio, New York, designed the residences and the common rooms, with custom Italian cabinetry, stone counters and a curated art programme through the public spaces.
The gardens, the riverfront promenade and the pool deck are by Enea, the Swiss studio that has become the reference for landscape at this level in Miami, from Rivage Bal Harbour to Ocean Terrace.
Roughly 324 tower residences from one to four bedrooms, eight penthouses, and 28 riverfront flats and duplexes on the promenade at the base. The riverfront homes are a different proposition from the tower: lower, on the water, entered from the promenade. The desk at Miami Dossier reads all three sets of plans with buyers.
Key-activated private elevators open directly into every residence through an entry vestibule, with ceilings of about ten feet in the tower and higher in the penthouses, eight-foot-deep terraces and wraparound corners on select lines.
A private marina on the river with a residents' yacht, a waterfront restaurant of roughly 10,000 square feet, a gourmet market, a wine cellar and tasting room, and a chef's kitchen with a private dining room, all at the base of the tower on the water.
A 12th-floor deck with a zero-entry saltwater pool, an outdoor spa and cabanas over the river; a fitness centre with spinning, yoga and meditation rooms; a spa with La Mer treatments; social lounges, a game room and a children's room; a business centre and private workspaces. Services curated by Baccarat Hotels and Residences and managed by SH Hotels and Resorts.
Related Group has delivered more condominium towers in South Florida than any other developer, in partnership here with GTIS Partners, with John Moriarty and Associates as general contractor. The structure passed the 40th floor in early 2026 and completion is guided for 2028. The desk at Miami Dossier holds the delivery history and shares it on request.
The current floor plans by line, including the riverfront flats and duplexes, the current release and the deposit schedule, obtained directly from the sales team on request, together with our own floor plan analysis and an honest comparison against the other Brickell towers. None of it is published here because it changes. 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 Baccarat or another 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.
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.
