Designed by AS+GG, the 47-story Una Residences takes its design cues from Riva yachts. Now under construction in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, the tower will be the first waterfront residential tower in over a decade.

Una Residences will comprise 135 condominiums with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and the Miami city skyline. Residences range from two to five bedrooms and measure between 1,100 and 4,786 sf. The building includes spacious layouts, large terraces, and private elevators for all units.

“Una’s subtly undulating surface and strong silhouette stands proud at the water’s edge. We drew inspiration from the elegant shape and opulent materials used in classic yacht design – particularly the beautifully lacquered wood, exposed materials, and stainless-steel connections found on the Italian-made yacht, the Riva,” said Adrian Smith FAIA, Design Partner, AS+GG, in a release. “Carefully crafted and detailed and meticulously designed, it is elegant and relaxing. Its primary goal is to relate well and add to the beauty of Miami and the wonderful lifestyle this City is so well known for.”

Amenities include three swimming pools, a children’s splash-pad area and playroom, a movie theater, an Atman Resort-inspired spa and steam room, a fitness center with yoga and personal training facilities, and onsite dining. Residents will also receive membership access to the Grand Bay Club on the beachfront of Miami’s Key Biscayne.

AS+GG will design both the exterior and interior of the tower. OKO Group is the project’s developer. Una Residences is slated for completion in early 2023.
