The district, the site, the two towers, the residences, the amenities and the numbers behind Kempinski Residences Miami Design District, 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 project described plainly, as announced, with the figures we can attribute to the developer's published material and the public record, given in ranges where sources differ. Because the project was announced in January 2026 and is early, several figures will move. The desk at Miami Dossier keeps it current. A companion note on the practical decisions is linked at the end.
The Miami Design District is the neighbourhood north of Midtown and west of the Edgewater bayfront where the flagship fashion houses, galleries, the Institute of Contemporary Art and a dense run of restaurants sit within a few walkable blocks. Wynwood is immediately south, the Design District Associates estate runs the retail core, and Biscayne Boulevard is its western edge.

Two towers, published at 20 storeys and in one source at 22, connected by an elevated amenity bridge, designed by Arquitectonica.

Roughly 132 private residences, published in one account as 138 including other units, plus six townhomes and 17 suites available for purchase by residents only. Two to four bedrooms at roughly 2,100 to 3,100 interior square feet, with total living area reported to roughly 3,700 including terraces. Published material describes all residences as corner homes with private terraces facing Biscayne Bay and the Downtown skyline. Kitchens by Rockwell with European cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances.

Published across the two towers and the connecting bridge: a spa, a fitness centre, a padel court, a lap pool, a cold plunge and saunas, golf and Formula 1 simulators, a screening room, library lounges, private salons, dining and social spaces, and dedicated children's facilities. Kempinski provides the residential service; there is no hotel on the site.
DaGrosa Capital Development Partners, founded and chaired by Joseph DaGrosa, a Miami firm focused on ground-up development and acquisition of luxury hotels and residences. Sales led by ISG World. Announced 30 January 2026, with completion targeted for late 2029, which the developer may revise.
3801 Biscayne Boulevard. Two towers of roughly 20 storeys. Roughly 132 residences. Six townhomes. Seventeen resident-purchase suites. Two to four bedrooms. Roughly 2,100 to 3,100 interior square feet. Amenity bridge between the towers. No hotel. Announced January 2026. Target late 2029. Figures are from the developer's published material and the public record and are approximate; the project is early and several figures, including the residence count and storey height, differ between sources and should be confirmed against the current release.
This note is compiled from the developer's published material for Kempinski Residences Miami Design District, 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 Kempinski Residences Miami Design District 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 Kempinski Residences Miami Design District 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.
Nobody chooses Kempinski Residences Miami Design District in isolation. The desk at Miami Dossier weighs it against Miami Design Residences by Fouquet's, and sets it beside every other building in Design District on the Design District cluster. If the question underneath yours is really how to read a developer's record before a long build, start there instead.
