Lilli Miami: OKO Group Unveils 53-Story Bayfront Tower in Edgewater

OKO Group unveiled Lilli to the press on May 12, 2026, marking the firm's third Miami project after Missoni Baia and the Aman Miami Beach. The 636-foot tower will rise on a 0.63-acre Biscayne Bay parcel directly north of Missoni Baia, with 117 boutique residences spread across 53 stories and roughly 360,679 square feet of building area, per Florida YIMBY. Pricing starts at approximately $1.65 million for one-bedroom layouts and runs through penthouses approaching 7,000 square feet. The wellness program reflects Vlad Doronin's day job as chairman of Aman, and the architecture by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill places Lilli in the same firm's portfolio as Burj Vista in Dubai and Jeddah Tower. For buyers evaluating Miami pre-construction this cycle, the broader framework lives inside the Miami pre-construction buyer's guide.

What OKO Group Just Revealed: A Sculpted 53-Story Bayfront Silhouette

The May 12, 2026 reveal in Florida YIMBY and Robb Report was the first time the public saw the building form, podium, and amenity layout for Lilli since the half-acre Edgewater parcel was originally acquired by OKO affiliate Mavica Investments for $54 million in 2016, according to The Real Deal. The reveal locks in the final architectural language: a sinuous, undulating tower with curved floor plates that orient every residence toward Biscayne Bay, set on a landscaped Baywalk podium that opens directly onto Miami's bayside pedestrian network. The form is unmistakably Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, the firm behind Burj Vista in Dubai and the planned Jeddah Tower, and it stands apart from the orthogonal glass slabs that dominate the rest of Edgewater's tower pipeline.

According to Florida YIMBY, Lilli rises 636 feet across 53 stories and contains 360,679 square feet of building area on a 0.63-acre site. The 117-residence count is unusually small for an Edgewater tower of this height, and the math works out to roughly 3,083 square feet of building area per residence before amenities. Interiors carry ceiling heights up to 12 feet, custom millwork, marble finishes, Gaggenau appliances, floor-to-ceiling glass, and oversized private terraces, per Robb Report. The unit mix runs from one-bedroom layouts through penthouses approaching 7,000 square feet at the crown. For context on how a boutique-scale Edgewater tower compares to the larger 400-plus-unit launches in the same corridor, the Brickell vs Edgewater vs Sunny Isles pre-construction comparison lays out the trade-offs.

The Aman Wellness DNA: Lilli's Amenity Program Explained

Vlad Doronin runs Aman, the global ultra-luxury hospitality brand whose wellness centers in Tokyo, New York, and Bangkok are benchmarks for the sector. Lilli's amenity program is built around that operating muscle, per Robb Report (May 12, 2026). This is not a cosmetic spa with a steam room and a basic gym. It is a wellness ecosystem designed for residents who already build their week around recovery, training, and longevity protocols.

• Rooftop saltwater pool: A bayfront pool deck at the crown of the tower with Biscayne Bay views toward Miami Beach and downtown. Saltwater filtration is the same standard Aman uses in its hospitality resorts.
• Infrared saunas and cold plunge pools: Paired contrast-therapy protocol stations. Resident access without external membership fees, with private treatment scheduling.
• Treatment room and movement studio: Equipped for one-on-one wellness sessions, pilates, breathwork, and mobility work. Targeted at residents recovering from training loads or surgical procedures.
• Waterfront garden and Baywalk access: The ground-level program opens directly onto Miami's Baywalk pedestrian network, which links Edgewater to the Design District, Wynwood, and Downtown without crossing Biscayne Boulevard.
• Dedicated lifestyle and wellness director: A staff position responsible for curating resident programming, recovery sessions, and integrating the building's program with Aman partner clinics. Rare at this unit count.

The 117-unit count is the critical detail. Spread the wellness program across 117 residents rather than the 300 to 500 typical of an Edgewater tower, and amenity utilization rates collapse to the point where every protocol station is effectively a private appointment. That is the difference between marketing a wellness floor and operating one. The math also flows through to long-term resale: smaller unit counts protect amenity ratios across the 30-year life of the building, which is exactly the SB-4D reserve concern that buyers should run before signing. The SB-4D special assessments guide covers what reserve funding looks like for new towers like Lilli.

The location matters as much as the program. Lilli sits north of Missoni Baia, which OKO Group completed in 2024 and used as the proof-of-concept for boutique Edgewater bayfront product. Buyers underwriting Lilli should compare the operating performance of Missoni Baia HOA, resale velocity, and amenity utilization rates before reserving. The condo financial health evaluation guide walks through exactly the questions to ask the developer at preview. Buyers also need a clear handle on the true annual cost of carrying a boutique waterfront residence: the true cost of owning a Miami luxury condo guide breaks down HOA, taxes, insurance, and reserve assessments at the building scale Lilli will operate.

How Lilli Compares to the Edgewater Pre-Construction Cluster

Edgewater has emerged as one of Miami's most active pre-construction submarkets, with major launches stacked between NE 17th Street and the Design District. To place Lilli in context, here is where the entry price, unit count, and height fit against the active Edgewater pipeline. The cluster comparison matters because a buyer evaluating Lilli is typically also looking at one or two other Edgewater bayfront launches in the same window.

Three takeaways from the cluster. First, Lilli's 117-unit count is the smallest in the active Edgewater pre-construction pipeline, and the average residence floor area is the largest. That density profile is closer to a South of Fifth boutique tower than a typical Edgewater launch. Second, the $1.65 million entry is competitive with Anantara and the projected Aria Reserve Skyclub launch but well below Edition Residences, which positions Lilli as a boutique-scale alternative at a midrange entry tier. Third, Lilli's bayfront orientation directly north of Missoni Baia means the construction quality and HOA operating playbook are already proven by the same developer one parcel south. For a wider Miami waterfront comparison, the St. Regis vs Cipriani vs Waldorf comparison sets the price ceiling that Edgewater buyers eventually trade up into.

My Take on Reserving at Lilli Before the Pricing Tiers Reset

I run pre-construction underwriting for Edgewater buyers every week. Here is how I think about Lilli as OKO Group moves into the pre-sales window through the second half of 2026.

The product fit is for buyers who want boutique scale and waterfront orientation without the South of Fifth or Indian Creek price tier. A 117-unit Edgewater bayfront residence with 12-foot ceilings, Gaggenau, marble, custom millwork, and direct Baywalk access at a $1.65 million entry is a meaningfully different product than the $1.2 to $1.4 million Edgewater pre-construction averages currently dominated by 300-plus-unit towers. The buyer most likely to win at Lilli is someone underwriting on amenity-square-feet-per-resident and per-unit construction budget, not just total price-per-foot. For wider context on how buyers should size a Miami pre-construction purchase against international tax exposure, the tax guide by country of origin is the right starting point.

The sales-launch sequencing matters. OKO Group typically opens with a friends-and-family release at Aman Miami Beach, followed by broker preview, then public release once the listing brokerage is assigned. Buyers who want first-release pricing should be on a broker list before the public release window, because Edgewater pre-construction pricing has historically reset up 3 to 7 percent between friends-and-family and the public open across the last three OKO launches. Foreign-national buyers should already have proof-of-funds documentation and entity structuring in place. The foreign national buyer guide covers reserve agreements, ITINs, LLC structuring, and the FinCEN beneficial ownership rules.

Deposit structures on comparable OKO launches sit at 10 percent at reservation, 10 percent at hard contract, 10 percent at groundbreaking, and 10 to 20 percent at top-off, with the balance due at closing. Run the deposit schedule against your liquidity plan before reserving. The pre-construction buying process step-by-step guide covers exactly what a 36-month construction window looks like from contract to closing. Buyers who track Edgewater macro fundamentals can also pull the Q1 2026 luxury condo report for transaction comparables across the corridor.

"Lilli is the first Edgewater launch in this cycle where the unit count is small enough to operate like a Brickell branded tower. The 117-residence floor is what protects amenity ratios and resale velocity across the next 20 years. Buyers who reserve before the public release will lock in a pricing tier that I expect to reset upward within 90 days of launch, based on how OKO Group has historically run sequencing at Missoni Baia and the Aman Residences."
