Una Residences is a 135-residence condominium tower on Biscayne Bay in South Brickell, designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture. Request current pricing and availability through the pricing page.
What Makes Una Residences Different from Other Miami Towers?
The first thing that separates Una from most of what you’ll see in Miami is the unit count. At 135 residences, you’re looking at just 2 to 4 units per floor. Every single unit is a corner residence. There are no interior units, no corridor neighbors blocking your views. That’s a level of exclusivity you typically don’t find outside of boutique buildings with 30 or 40 units.
The second differentiator is the design team. Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, the firm behind the Jeddah Tower, designed both the exterior and interior. They drew from classic yacht forms, which is why the building has those sweeping curves rather than the rectangular box you see in most Brickell towers. The landscape was done by Enzo Enea, one of the most respected landscape architects in the world, working under the aesthetic direction of Vladislav Doronin, the chairman of Aman Resorts.
And the third is the private marina. Very few buildings in the Brickell/downtown corridor have private marina access. Due to state waterway regulations, it’s nearly impossible to get new marina permits in this area. If you’re a boating person, that’s a significant feature that most competing buildings simply cannot offer.
What Unit Types and Sizes Are Available?
Una offers four main residence categories, all with detailed floor plans available upon request:
Standard Residences: The library includes northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest layouts. Check the individual plans for the exact level band and interior area.
Vista Residences (Levels 19 to 22): These are unique layouts on a specific band of floors, designed to maximize the panoramic transition between the lower and upper portions of the tower.
Penthouses (Levels 38 to 43): The northeast and southeast penthouse plans each show five bedrooms. The interior areas on those plans are 4,725 and 4,735 square feet, respectively.
Upper Penthouses: The North and South upper penthouse plans each show six bedrooms, with total interior areas of 7,084 and 7,089 square feet, respectively. Review all levels of each plan together.
What Finishes and Features Come Standard?
This is where Una really delivers at its price point. Every residence includes:
- Private elevator entry directly into the unit, no shared hallways
- Floor-to-ceiling noise-reducing exterior glass throughout
- Chef’s kitchen with full Gaggenau appliance package: oven, induction cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator/freezer
- Choice of four marble or hardwood flooring options
- Master suites with separate his-and-hers closets and bathrooms
- Full-sized washer and dryer in a dedicated utility room
- Expansive terraces with lift-and-glide doors and glass railings
- Three levels of underground parking
The developer materials list Gaggenau appliances. Review the supplied specifications and the actual residence during a showing.
What Amenities Does Una Residences Offer?
The amenity program at Una is extensive, but what makes it stand out isn’t just the list. It’s the curation. OKO Group brought an Aman-level hospitality sensibility to the programming:
For water and wellness: a bayfront infinity pool, outdoor lap pool, family pool, jacuzzi, full-service spa with steam rooms and sauna, indoor and outdoor massage rooms overlooking the bay, a dedicated beauty suite, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with yoga and personal training areas.
For lifestyle: a private marina with boat slips, movie theater, owners’ lounge, private dining room, catering kitchen, outdoor lounge terraces, kids’ playroom, splash pad, dog walk area, BBQ area, and baywalk access.
And then there’s the Grand Bay Beach Club in Key Biscayne, exclusive access for Una residents that extends the lifestyle beyond the building to one of Miami’s most coveted beach locations. The building also provides a house car service to the airport and the beach club, sommelier-curated wine events, and a personal lifestyle curator for each resident.
What Is the Location Like?
Una sits at the southern edge of Brickell directly on Biscayne Bay. The neighborhood gives you the best of both worlds: you’re close enough to Brickell City Centre (5 minutes) and Downtown (10 minutes) for urban convenience, but the bayfront setting and Enzo Enea gardens create a sense of retreat that you don’t get in the denser parts of the financial district.
Coconut Grove is 8 minutes away. Key Biscayne is 10 minutes. MIA Airport is about 20 minutes. For families, Ransom Everglades is 10 minutes and Gulliver Prep is 15 minutes. It’s a strategic location that works whether you’re commuting to a Brickell office, raising a family, or living primarily on your boat.
What Is the Buying Process?
With Una delivered, the buying process is more streamlined than a typical pre-construction purchase. You can physically walk the residences, see the finishes, and experience the views before committing. Here’s the typical flow:
- Unit selection: I’ll walk you through available inventory, discuss your priorities (views, size, floor level), and identify the best fit.
- Purchase terms: Request the current terms for the residence under consideration.
- Contract execution: Legal review of the purchase agreement and condo documents.
- Pre-closing inspection: Walk the finished unit to verify quality and punch list items.
- Closing: Title transfer and key handover. For the Four Seasons Coconut Grove and other nearby projects, the process is similar but timelines vary by construction stage.
Throughout the process, I provide hands-on guidance at every step. My direct developer relationships mean you get access to the most current inventory and pricing, not what’s listed on a third-party site from six months ago.
How Does Una Compare to Other Bayfront Options?
The most common comparison I get is Una versus Four Seasons Coconut Grove. They’re both premium bayfront products in the same general area, but they’re fundamentally different buildings for different buyers. I break this down in detail in my comparison article, but the short version: Una is more boutique (135 units vs. Four Seasons’ larger program), has the private marina advantage, and benefits from the AS+GG design pedigree. Four Seasons brings the hotel brand services.
For buyers considering Brickell proper, buildings like Cipriani Residences or Waldorf Astoria Residences offer branded hotel residences with urban convenience, but you trade the bayfront setting and private marina for walkability to Brickell restaurants and offices.
