Ennismore and Property Markets Group have announced Delano Residences Miami, a proposed 90-story, 985-foot-tall supertall tower planned for Downtown Miami along Biscayne Boulevard. Designed by Carlos Ott in collaboration with CUBE 3, with interiors by Meyer Davis, the development will contain 421 residential units and will mark the first-ever Delano-branded residential property, as well as PMG’s second supertall tower in the city. The project site sits one block north of the under-construction Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Miami.
According to the development team, the structure will rise to 985 feet at its highest point, placing it just above the 984-foot threshold that defines a supertall building under the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat’s criteria. By comparison, Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Miami is set to top out at 1,049 feet.

Renderings depict a slender, highly reflective tower rising with a continuous glass curtain wall system that emphasizes verticality and taper. The tower’s overall massing suggests a streamlined, canoe-like silhouette, while the crown transitions into a tapered, blade-like form defined by inward curvature and layered glazing that appears to peel away from the core. As the structure ascends, the facade subtly tightens and narrows, culminating in a sculpted summit where sheets of reflective glass separate from the primary volume to reveal recessed terraces and structural framing beneath. This treatment gives the crown dimensional depth and visual lightness, distinguishing it from the flat rooflines and stepped mechanical caps typical of Miami’s existing high-rise inventory.
When viewed alongside the modular stacked volumes of the neighboring Waldorf Astoria, the contrast is pronounced. While Waldorf reads as a vertical composition of offset blocks, Delano presents a continuous, curved silhouette defined by taper and reflective surface articulation rather than segmented massing.

Residential layouts will range from studios to three-bedroom units. Interiors are planned to include custom kitchen cabinetry fabricated by Italkraft, integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance packages, custom bathroom cabinetry and countertops, Waterworks fixtures, and fully built-out closets. Smart home systems and contemporary lighting schemes are also planned throughout the residences.
“This property is conceived as a vertical resort, layered laterally, where each ascent introduces a new environment,” said Will Meyer, Co-Founder of Meyer Davis. “Filtered light, sculptural circulation, and layered landscapes blur interior and exterior, creating a cocoon of energy and calmness that unfolds intuitively, inviting guests to move seamlessly through atmosphere, texture, and experience.”

Among the signature amenities is South Florida’s first public observation floor, positioned approximately 850 feet above ground level and featuring a cantilevered glass deck overlooking Downtown Miami and the Atlantic Ocean. The development will also include Cafe Delano, an all-day signature restaurant, a sky restaurant, and the legendary Delano Rose Bar, reimagined from the original Delano Miami Beach property and positioned high above the skyline.
Additional amenity spaces are planned to include the Delano Members’ Club with cultural programming, a resort-style pool deck with a wraparound pool and bar, and a Sky Pool located approximately 800 feet above the city. The wellness component, branded as The Source by Delano, is expected to feature treatment rooms, sauna, steam rooms, a cold plunge, private lockers, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with movement studio.

Phil Zrihen, Deputy Group CEO of Ennismore, said: “The launch of Delano’s first branded residences marks a defining moment for the brand, extending its legacy of authentic hospitality, cultural relevance and exceptional design into the residential experience. Miami has always been central to Delano’s evolution, and there is no place better suited to translate the brand’s ethos, creative energy and emphasis on human connection into everyday living. With the reopening of Delano Miami Beach this year alongside this landmark development, we are entering a bold new chapter for Delano in the city where it all began.”
Ryan Shear, Managing Partner at PMG, said: “For decades, Delano has been one of the most influential brands in shaping Miami’s identity. As someone born and raised here, I’ve seen firsthand the cultural impact it created – from its iconic MiMo roots to Philippe Starck’s whimsical design and the high-profile nightlife that helped define Miami on a global stage. Bringing Delano to Biscayne Boulevard is a natural next step for Downtown Miami, strengthening the connection between Miami Beach and the city’s evolving urban core. With PMG’s long-standing commitment to thoughtful development, and in collaboration with Ennismore, we’re proud to carry Delano’s legacy forward through a bold new landmark that will help shape Miami’s next chapter.”

The project will be supported by Accor One Living, which will provide development and operational oversight for the branded residential component. Through the Accor Ownership Benefits Program, owners will have access to benefits tied to the ALL Accor loyalty program, including preferred rates and recognition across Accor and Ennismore properties worldwide.
Core services are planned to include 24-hour reception and doormen, valet parking, security, access-controlled entry points, mail and package storage, and owner concierge services. Optional services are expected to include in-residence housekeeping, dry cleaning and laundry, pet services, and a maintenance program for owners while away.

Sales are slated to commence in March, with PMG Residential exclusively representing the sales program. Residences are expected to begin at $800,000.
With its proposed 985-foot height and sculptural crown, Delano Residences Miami would introduce another supertall profile to Biscayne Boulevard as vertical development activity continues across Downtown Miami.

Finally a beautiful crown! And an observation deck! Unique to the skyline.
But will it be a public observation deck, or will that be one of the many amenities for residents, as written here?
It is listed as a public observation deck. PMGdevelopment has a photo caption on instagram claiming a public observation floor with the Delano Rose bar on the deck rendering.
Very nice. Love how it balances out the Waldorf. But surly this won’t be the second supertall as others are further along, or will it?
The Citadel office tower on Brickell will also be a supertall.
Not sure about second Supertall in Miami, but it’s PMG’s second for sure.
Too bad it’s not as tall as the baby block monstrosity.
