The Residences at 1428 Brickell is a 70-storey tower of roughly 190 fully finished homes on Brickell Avenue by Ytech, designed inside and out by ACPV Architects, Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, with Arquitectonica, and partly powered by photovoltaic glass on its west face. 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. The Residences at 1428 Brickell 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.
ACPV Architects, the Milan practice of Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, designed both the architecture and the interiors, with Arquitectonica as the local architect. Citterio designed the Bulgari hotels worldwide and Arte in Surfside. Buyers who have seen a great deal of Miami product recognise a building drawn by one hand from the facade to the kitchen handle.
Published counts sit between 189 and 195 residences across 70 storeys. On Brickell Avenue, where towers of this height usually carry two or three times as many homes, that is a deliberate choice of scale: large plans, few neighbours per floor.
Roughly a quarter of the residences are two-storey homes, designed to read as houses in the sky. Every residence has two private elevators and a foyer with a double-door entry, and deep sunrise and sunset terraces with a summer kitchen.
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.
Flooring, closets, lighting and window treatments are included, which is uncommon in Miami preconstruction where homes are often delivered decorator-ready. It removes months of work and a second budget after closing.
More than 500 photovoltaic glass panels on the west facade, roughly 20,000 square feet of energy-producing glass, partly power the building. It is described by the developer as the first high-rise residential tower to integrate photovoltaic glazing in its facade, and the building is designed to LEED certification. Whether that matters to a buyer is personal; that it is real is a matter of record.
Arclinea kitchens in the standard residences and limited-production Vaselli kitchens in the penthouses, Italian marble counters, Gaggenau appliances, Rimadesio glass enclosures, Axor fittings designed by Citterio. The specification is published and specific.
Ceilings of roughly 11 feet in the standard residences. The penthouse collection runs from roughly 4,000 to 10,000 square feet, with ceilings reported from 12 feet up to 30 feet in two of them.
Roughly 80,000 square feet across eight levels, with five of them at the top of the tower at roughly 860 feet: a two-storey rooftop observatory with a pool and lounge bar on level 70, a two-storey Owners Club with a wine and art lounge and private dining, and a spa and fitness floor of roughly 10,000 square feet. Three pools in all, guest suites, office suites, an estate manager and a wellness concierge.
1428 Brickell Avenue is on the avenue, a short walk from Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village, with east-facing residences toward the bay. The building is residential only, with no hotel and no short-term programme in the published material.
Ytech is a Miami developer with delivered projects across the city. The foundation was poured in 2025 and the tower is rising, with completion guided for 2028; John Moriarty and Associates is the general contractor. The desk at Miami Dossier holds the delivery history and shares it on request.
The current floor plans by line, 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 1428 Brickell or another building.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about The Residences at 1428 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 The Residences at 1428 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.
