Gianluca Vacchi and Dolce & Gabbana unveil an unprecedented concept in the heart of Miami: fully furnished, ultra-luxury residences with the potential to generate income without compromising control or sophistication.
In a city that leads global trends in architecture, design, and lifestyle, the new 888 Brickell project stands out as a unique opportunity for those seeking an exclusive residence in Miami, one that allows for complete autonomy over how and when to use the property, without conforming to rigid ownership models.
Behind the development are Gianluca Vacchi, the renowned Italian entrepreneur and international personality, and Dolce & Gabbana, the iconic fashion house making its debut in U.S. real estate with its first-ever branded residential tower. Together, they’re leading a project that redefines the meaning of luxury. The 90-story tower, set to become Miami’s tallest, will feature fully furnished residences, world-class amenities, and a prime location.
A Livable Work of Art
Each unit at 888 Brickell will be delivered turnkey, curated by Dolce & Gabbana’s in-house design team and outfitted with every detail in mind. From top-tier appliances (Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele) to Murano glass lighting fixtures, every element reflects a distinct vision of luxury.
Residences range from 1,160 sq. ft. (1 bedroom) to 3,000 sq. ft. (3 bedrooms), featuring generous layouts and premium materials. Panoramic views of the city and bay, combined with the tower’s striking height, complete an unparalleled living experience.
“The goal is not just to build a tower,” said Vacchi in an interview with Forbes, “but to bring a piece of Italy to a globally minded city like Miami.”
Total Freedom: Live, Rent, You Decide
One of 888 Brickell’s most unique offerings is the complete freedom it gives owners. Residences can be lived in year-round, used seasonally, or rented on a weekly or monthly basis, free from the typical rental restrictions found in much of Miami real estate.
Owners can also choose to integrate their unit into the six-star hotel within the tower, transforming the residence into a luxury suite when not in use. “You go downstairs, hand your keys to the concierge, and your apartment becomes part of the hotel,” Vacchi explained.
This model is designed for individuals who value flexibility but don’t want to relinquish control over their property. Unlike rigid systems, this project allows you to decide when, how, and to whom you rent your residence, always on your terms.
The building will offer a universe of experiences and services tailored for those who view luxury as a natural part of daily life. Highlights include:
- Recovery spa and wellness center
- Indoor padel court
- Italian gelateria by the pool
- Rolls-Royce available for residents
- Six-star hospitality services
- Architectural design by Sofio Studio
Everything is carefully crafted to strike a balance between privacy, design, functionality, and pleasure, avoiding flashy excess and conventional formulas.
A Game-Changing Location and Design
888 Brickell is being developed by JDS Development Group and marketed by One Sotheby’s International Realty, ensuring a transparent, top-tier investment with international standards.
Located in Brickell, the beating heart of Miami’s new urban core, the project offers unmatched connectivity, safety, and a vibrant lifestyle—perfect for those who want to live at the center of it all without compromising on refinement.
Delivery is scheduled for 2028. Units are now available starting at $2 million, with options going up to $16 million, depending on layout and floor level.
As Ignacio Gonzalez-Arias of Sotheby’s puts it: “There’s nothing else like this in Brickell—not at this design level, this unit size, or with this kind of ownership flexibility. This is a new concept, not just another investment.”
This is not only a strong real estate opportunity—it’s also a way to live in Miami with European flair, taking full advantage of the local market while retaining aesthetic control and property freedom.
Vacchi sums it up simply: “This is a project of quality. All we care about is doing it right.” And for those seeking more than just bricks and mortar, for those craving an experience, a sense of identity, or a place to call their own in the city, 888 Brickell is an open door.
