Miami’s iconic skyline is on the cusp of a transformative moment with the arrival of 888 Brickell by Dolce & Gabbana, a branded residential tower that merges fashion, luxury, and real estate into a single architectural marvel. Set to become Miami’s first supertall skyscraper—exceeding 300 meters (984 feet)—this ambitious project promises to elevate not just the city’s skyline but its global standing in luxury real estate. With this, Miami will join the ranks of U.S. cities like New York and Chicago, long known for their iconic supertall towers.
A Landmark Collaboration: Dolce & Gabbana x JDS Development
888 Brickell is the result of a bold partnership between Dolce & Gabbana, the world-renowned Italian fashion house founded by Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, and JDS Development Group, a leading name in high-rise real estate development. The project marks Dolce & Gabbana’s first foray into residential design in America, and expectations are sky-high.
With interiors designed by Dolce & Gabbana and developed by JDS Development, the building is more than just a residential tower—it is a lifestyle statement. The fashion duo’s signature aesthetic of bold elegance and lavish detailing will be woven throughout the interiors.
To realize this ambitious vision, JDS has partnered up with other design professionals as well in addition to D&G. Studio Sofield, the celebrated New York-based design studio led by William Sofield, is the building designer, bringing a sophisticated sensibility to the tower’s external architecture. Known for high-profile retail and hospitality projects, Studio Sofield’s involvement ensures a refined, couture-level execution of Dolce & Gabbana’s brand vision.
The role of Executive Architect is being fulfilled by O’Donnell Dannwolf & Partners Architects Inc., a respected firm with deep experience in complex, large-scale developments. Their technical expertise and experience with complex high-rise developments are critical in bringing the supertall tower to life.
Location: At the Heart of Miami’s Urban Core
Located at 888 Brickell Avenue, the tower will rise from one of the most prestigious addresses in Brickell, Miami’s bustling financial and cultural hub. The site currently houses an old mid-rise office building, which will be demolished to make way for the new tower. Surrounded by global banks, luxury hotels, fine dining, and upscale shopping, 888 Brickell is at the epicenter of it all.
Architectural Feat: Miami’s First Supertall Tower
Upon completion, 888 Brickell is poised to become Miami’s tallest building, officially crossing the supertall threshold and raging 1,049 feet (319 meters) above ground level. The tower will stand as a beacon of sophistication, visible from both land and sea.
Its striking silhouette and facade clad in blackened steel, travertine, and high-gloss black glass will reflect Dolce & Gabbana’s signature glamor and timeless Italian style. The building will feature 259 fully-furnished branded residences and an ultra-luxury hotel component.
The Hotel component of 888 Brickell is a 5-star, white-glove hotel operation, giving owners the option to place their residence in the hotel program for income potential. Alternatively, owners can use the unit for personal use or lease it independently, as there are no rental restrictions—offering unmatched flexibility alongside world-class hospitality.
