Anantara Miami Resort and Residences is a planned 50-story, 650-foot tower at 3601 Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater, announced April 22, 2026 by One Thousand Group and Minor Hotels. It will deliver 100 private branded condos, 120 resort residences, and 50 hotel suites, with KPF architecture and Patricia Urquiola interiors. According to Miami Realtors, luxury condo sales above $1M rose 9.77 percent year-over-year in March 2026. Hotel-branded product in Edgewater has no direct competition, giving this project a clear pricing advantage.

On April 22, 2026, One Thousand Group and Minor Hotels announced Anantara Miami Resort and Residences: a 50-story, 650-foot tower at 3601 Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater that will mark the debut of the Anantara brand in the United States. Anantara, owned by Minor Hotels and globally recognized from The White Lotus, will bring 100 private branded condos to a neighborhood that has no comparable hotel-branded product. As someone who tracks every Edgewater pre-construction from my Compass desk, this announcement is the most significant news to hit the submarket in years. The architecture by Kohn Pedersen Fox and interiors by Patricia Urquiola position this at the top tier of Miami's 2026 pre-construction pipeline.
The Project: What One Thousand Group and Minor Hotels Are Building
Anantara Miami Resort and Residences is planned for 3601 Biscayne Boulevard, a site that sits at the convergence of Edgewater, the Design District, and Wynwood. The 50-story, 650-foot tower will be one of the tallest structures in Edgewater and, according to the developers, the first tower in the area with unobstructed northern Biscayne Bay views.
The project is a joint venture between One Thousand Group, the Miami-based firm led by Kevin Venger, Louis Birdman, and Michael Konig, and Minor Hotels, the Bangkok-headquartered hospitality giant that operates Anantara across 32 countries. Architecture comes from Kohn Pedersen Fox, which designed 432 Park Avenue in New York and The Shard in London, with interiors by Patricia Urquiola, the Milan-based designer whose work appears in Mandarin Oriental, W Hotels, and Cassina showrooms globally. This is serious design talent at every level.
According to Miami Realtors data released April 2026, total Miami-Dade condo sales rose 2.9 percent year-over-year in March 2026, with luxury transactions above $1 million climbing 9.77 percent. The timing of this announcement, into a market with rising luxury demand and almost no branded-residence inventory in Edgewater, is deliberate. Sales are expected to open to the public later in 2026.

Why the White Lotus Connection Matters for Miami Buyers
Anantara's appearance in The White Lotus is not a footnote. It is a market driver. Season 2 of the HBO series was filmed at Anantara's property in Sicily. Season 3 moved to Thailand, also Anantara territory. The show has a global viewership in the tens of millions and its audience skews exactly toward the buyer profile for Miami's luxury pre-construction market: high-income, internationally mobile, design-conscious, aged 35 to 55.
When a hotel brand gets that kind of cultural exposure, it creates what I call earned brand equity. Buyers who watched three seasons of The White Lotus at Anantara properties have a felt sense of what the brand represents: high-design, immersive service, destination-level quality. That is exactly the association One Thousand Group is importing to Edgewater. Compare this to launching a new-name hotel brand with zero recognition: the marketing challenge is entirely different. Anantara arrives pre-loaded.
For investors considering the true cost of owning a Miami luxury condo, hotel-branded product historically holds value better in down cycles because the management structure and brand prestige maintain demand from international buyers. According to Knight Frank's 2026 branded residences report, hotel-branded properties globally command a 30 to 35 percent premium over unbranded comparable units. In Miami's Edgewater, where there is currently no hotel-branded competition, that premium could be higher.
| Project | Location | Hotel Brand | Est. Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anantara Miami | Edgewater | Anantara (Minor Hotels) | TBD, sales 2026 |
| St. Regis Brickell | Brickell | St. Regis (Marriott) | From $1,400/sq ft |
| Mandarin Oriental Brickell Key | Brickell Key | Mandarin Oriental | From $2,500/sq ft |
| Six Fisher Island | Fisher Island | Six Senses | From $15M |
Edgewater in 2026: Why This Neighborhood, Why Now
Edgewater has been Miami's fastest-evolving luxury submarket over the past five years. The neighborhood runs along Biscayne Bay between downtown and Wynwood, offering water views without the price floor of Brickell or the tourist traffic of Miami Beach. Projects like Elysee, Missoni Baia, and One Thousand Museum set the tone for design ambition. Anantara is the next step up.
I tell clients looking at Edgewater versus Brickell that the two neighborhoods serve different buyer priorities. Brickell is infrastructure-first: walkable to finance, dense, fast. Edgewater is environment-first: bay views, arts adjacency, Design District within walking distance, Wynwood three blocks away. For international buyers, especially from Latin America and Europe, Edgewater reads as Miami's cultural anchor rather than its corporate core. Anantara's location at 3601 Biscayne sits directly at the northern edge of Edgewater, where the neighborhood merges with the Design District. That address is the best of both.
The Perez Art Museum Miami, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts are all within 10 minutes. Miami International Airport is 20 minutes. According to the Miami neighborhoods guide, Edgewater remains one of the few Miami submarkets where pre-construction buyers can still access bay-view product below Brickell prices, making it the best value play in the luxury segment heading into 2027 and 2028 completions.
Buyer's Guide: How to Evaluate Anantara Miami as an Investment
Anantara Miami is not yet open for public sales, but buyers who want to secure favorable positioning need to move before the launch. Here is how I evaluate this project for my clients, using the same framework I apply to every pre-construction purchase in Miami.
Developer track record: One Thousand Group delivered One Thousand Museum with Zaha Hadid, which sold out and delivered on time in 2021. That execution record matters. Minor Hotels has operated Anantara properties since 2001 and manages over 50 Anantara locations globally. Both parties have stakes in delivering a functioning five-star operation, not just closing presales. That alignment is important.
Unit selection within the building matters more than the brand. The 100 private branded condos are a separate product from the 120 resort residences. Private condos offer full ownership with no rental-back obligations. Resort residences allow owners to participate in the hotel's rental program, which can generate income but comes with usage restrictions. Understanding which product fits your goals, and which floors and exposures command the best views, requires an advisor who will be on the waitlist from day one. Call me at (305) 964-8614 to discuss your position before sales open.
For context on evaluating Miami condo building financial health before buying, my guide covers the reserve fund questions, HOA structure, and developer warranty terms that apply to every new development, including Anantara.
What Anantara Means for Edgewater Property Values and Comparable Sales
Every time a major hotel brand anchors in a submarket, it reprices the entire area. Mandarin Oriental on Brickell Key raised the ceiling for island product. St. Regis set a new benchmark for Brickell high-rise service standards. Anantara at 3601 Biscayne will do the same for Edgewater.
The repricing effect works in both directions. New buyers entering Edgewater in 2026 and 2027 for older product, say Elysee or Missoni Baia units in the resale market, will find that Anantara's announcement has already lifted their competition. Note that resale buyers in older Edgewater buildings should review SB 4D special assessment risks before committing. When an international buyer compares a $2 million resale at Elysee to a pre-construction unit at Anantara with a 2030 delivery, the premium for the brand and the new construction can be justified if the price spread is reasonable.
According to Miami Realtors, Miami-Dade $5M-and-above condo sales climbed 27 percent year-over-year in March 2026. The data confirms that international and domestic ultra-high-net-worth buyers are actively purchasing in Miami right now. Anantara's announcement will accelerate that demand curve in Edgewater specifically. Buyers interested in foreign national purchasing in Miami should note that branded hotel products also tend to perform better in FIRPTA resale scenarios because the brand maintains international resale demand. For a full breakdown of taxes by country of origin, see the Miami real estate tax guide for international buyers.
"Anantara at 3601 Biscayne is the most significant branded-residence announcement in Edgewater I have seen. KPF architecture, Patricia Urquiola interiors, Minor Hotels operations: this is the complete package. Buyers who get positioned before public sales open will have the best selection and the most favorable terms." Gerardo Gonzalez, Licensed Real Estate Agent at Compass
