There are luxury condos, there are ultra-luxury condos, and then there is Aman. The Aman brand spent four decades building a near-mythical reputation for privacy and restraint — resorts you can't get into without knowing someone, in places most people will never visit. When a brand like that builds residences, the people who understand it don't ask "how much per square foot." They ask "how do I get on the list."
Aman Residences Miami Beach is that project, and as Miami's #1 real estate agent, I want to walk you through what it actually is, who it's for, and whether the scarcity story holds up as an investment in 2026.
The Basics: What Aman Residences Miami Beach Is
The project sits at 3425 Collins Avenue, in the heart of Miami Beach's Faena District — arguably the most curated, art-forward stretch of the entire beach. The development pairs two things: a new 18-story residential tower designed by the legendary Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, and the meticulously preserved, historic Versailles Hotel, which will operate as a 56-room Aman hotel.
The residential tower holds just 22 Aman-branded residences. Let that number sink in. Twenty-two. Units are expected to average roughly 2,450 square feet, and pricing has been guided at well above $2,000 per square foot — which, for branded Aman product of this rarity, places these firmly in the eight-figure trophy category.
Developed by OKO Group, the Vladislav Doronin-led firm behind some of Miami's most ambitious luxury towers, in partnership with Access Industries, the project commenced vertical construction in 2025 and is tracking toward topping off in early 2026, with delivery targeted for 2027.
Why Kengo Kuma Matters Here
Most Miami towers chase glass-and-flash. Kengo Kuma does the opposite. He's known worldwide for warm, tactile, nature-integrated architecture — wood, stone, light, and a sense of calm that feels almost spiritual. Pairing him with the Aman philosophy of serene minimalism is, frankly, perfect casting. This isn't going to look like every other shimmering Miami tower; it's designed to feel like a refuge.
That design DNA is also a moat. When a building is genuinely architecturally distinct — not just tall — it holds its identity and its value over decades. I made the same point about OMA's work at "The Perigon Miami Beach: Rem Koolhaas Designed It — And Buyers Are Paying $5,582/SqFt to Live in It," another Mid-Beach trophy where architecture is the asset.
The Faena District Location
Location is half the Aman story. The Faena District transformed this stretch of Mid-Beach from faded glamour into a cultural destination — Faena Forum, the art, the restaurants, the beach club energy without the South Beach chaos. Aman slots into that ecosystem as its most private, most exclusive address. You get walkable culture and a wide, calm beach, but behind Aman's signature wall of discretion.
For context on how Mid-Beach competes with the rest of the luxury market, my piece "Selling a Luxury Miami Condo in 2026: 8 Mistakes That Quietly Cost Owners $200,000 or More" explains why brand and location, not just finishes, drive the top of this market.
Amenities and the Aman Standard
What you're really buying is the Aman service model brought to a residence. Expect the brand's signature spa and wellness program (Aman Spa is a destination in its own right), curated dining tied to the hotel, full concierge and residential service, and the kind of staff-to-resident ratio that defines the brand. With only 22 homes sharing the residential amenities and a 56-key hotel supporting the service infrastructure, the experience is engineered around exclusivity, not volume.
Resumen del mercado de Miami — T1 2026:
- Mainland Miami luxury condo average price: up 18% year-over-year, with price per square foot up 9% (Q1 2026)
- Median Miami-Dade condo sale price overall: $680,000 (up 3.8% YoY)
- Luxury condo inventory has loosened to multi-month levels — but ultra-scarce branded product behaves differently from the broad market
- The market is sharply bifurcated: trophy, scarcity-driven assets are holding or rising even as mid-tier condos soften
That bifurcation is the key data point for an Aman buyer. While the broad condo market has cooled and inventory has climbed, the ultra-luxury, scarcity-driven tier — exactly where Aman lives — is the segment that has kept appreciating. Twenty-two units do not behave like 10,000 listings.
The Investment Case — and Who This Is For
Let me be straight about the thesis. You don't buy Aman for cash-flow yield; you buy it for scarcity, brand, and global liquidity. With only 22 residences ever, the resale pool is permanently tiny and the demand pool is permanently global — exactly the buyers flowing into Miami right now, including the fresh wave of international capital arriving around the World Cup. When you eventually sell, your buyer could come from anywhere on earth, and there is no comparable supply for them to choose instead.
This is the right project for an ultra-high-net-worth buyer or business owner who wants a trophy primary or secondary residence, values privacy above all, and understands that brand-name scarcity is itself the asset. It is the wrong project if you're looking for rental income math or an entry-level luxury price point.

Q: Is Aman Residences Miami Beach a good investment?
