Kempinski Residences Pricing & Floor Plan Analysis

Kempinski Residences Miami Design District is priced $3.76 million to $5.89 million on the July 2026 Early Access list, with price per square foot ranging from $1,680 to $2,193 across both towers. These are Early Access prices available during the pre-sales phase, before the project opens to the general market.

In this analysis, I break down the pricing across both towers, compare the value proposition by unit type, examine the floor plan configurations, and explain why the current pricing window represents a compelling entry point for buyers and investors.

How is Kempinski Residences priced by tower?

Pricing differs between the North and South towers based on unit size, floor plan configuration, and view orientation. The North Tower offers 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom residences, while the South Tower features larger 2-bedroom and 4-bedroom layouts.

North Tower 2-bedroom residences with den (2,151 to 2,225 SF) range from $3,761,200 to $4,252,900, $1,740 to $1,911 per SF. The 3-bedroom units with den (2,685 to 2,699 SF) are priced from $4,804,200 to $5,887,800, $1,780 to $2,193 per SF.

South Tower 2-bedroom residences with den (2,319 to 2,505 SF) run from $3,895,900 to $5,146,000, with price per SF beginning at $1,680, the lowest in the project. The 4-bedroom units with den (3,102 SF) are $5,641,500 and $5,663,400.

What do the floor plans look like?

Each tower offers four distinct floor plan lines, for eight layouts total. The configurations are designed around open living concepts with floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive terraces, and views of Biscayne Bay, the Design District, or the Downtown Miami skyline depending on orientation.

All units include a den, a flexible space that can serve as a home office, media room, or additional sleeping area. Every residence features Rockwell-designed interiors with Gaggenau kitchens and Kallista/Kohler bathrooms. View all floor plans on the main site (registration required).

How does the deposit structure work?

The deposit structure requires 40% of the purchase price before closing, paid in five installments: 10% at contract, 5% three months after contract, 5% nine months after contract, 10% at groundbreaking (expected summer 2027), and 10% at top-off. The remaining 60% is due at closing in Q1 2030.

For a $3.7M residence, that means approximately $370,000 at contract, $185,000 three months later, $185,000 at nine months, $370,000 at groundbreaking, and $370,000 at top-off, with the $2.22M balance at closing. This is a favorable structure compared to many Miami pre-construction projects that require 50% or more before closing.

How does Kempinski pricing compare to the market?

At $1,680 to $2,193 per SF, Kempinski is competitively positioned relative to other branded luxury developments in Miami. Mandarin Oriental Brickell Key, another branded hospitality residence, is priced higher on a per-SF basis, as are several Brickell corridor projects. The Design District location provides a unique value proposition, waterfront living adjacent to Miami's premier luxury retail and cultural corridor, without the premium of established neighborhoods like Brickell or Miami Beach.

The fact that this is Early Access pricing means these numbers represent the floor. As the project progresses through construction milestones, price increases are typical. Buyers who secure units during the pre-sales phase generally realize the most favorable basis.
