Mercedes-Benz Places Miami

JDS Development Group is building Mercedes-Benz Places Miami at 1133 SW 2nd Avenue in Brickell — a 67-floor, 821-unit tower designed by SHoP Architects, with interiors by Woods Bagot. It carries the Mercedes-Benz Places name, the automaker's branded-residence platform, licensed to real estate rather than built by the brand itself.

Construction is underway, with completion targeted for 2027. Sales are early: just 12.2% of the 821 units are reported sold to date, a modest figure for a tower this far along in its marketing cycle.

The site sits on an interior Brickell parcel rather than directly on the water. Two nearby proposed towers — Millux Place at 9 floors and Season One at 21 floors — are both far shorter than this building's 67 floors, and are described only as partial view impacts rather than real threats to its sightlines.

Units range from 461 to 2,103 square feet, priced from $755,900 to $3,260,775. No price-per-square-foot figure is published directly, but the range implies roughly $1,550–$1,640 per square foot — the low end of Brickell's cited $1,500–$2,600 band, reasonable entry pricing for a branded, SHoP-designed tower, though the low sell-through means the market hasn't yet confirmed that price with volume.

Interiors are by Woods Bagot, and residence terraces run five feet deep — real outdoor space rather than a token balcony. Beyond that, finish packages, included appliances, and the specific floor-plan mix aren't detailed in what's published; ask sales directly for unit-by-unit specification.

The amenity list leans hard into the automotive theme: a custom Mercedes-Benz race-car simulator, Mercedes-Benz house cars, padel courts, a basketball court, a rooftop pool exclusive to residents, and sun and garden pools with towel and food-and-beverage service. Wellness runs deep — hot, dry and infrared saunas, an onsen ritual circuit, a Himalayan salt room, an aromatherapy room, a steam room. Dining and social space includes two signature restaurants, the Silver Arrow Lounge, a cocktail bar, a chef's kitchen with private dining, a screening room and a recording studio — closer to a private-club stack than a standard condo amenity floor.

Family and outdoor life get real space too: a children's playground, a dog run, a water feature, a kids' room, co-working space and a library, and an outdoor kitchen and dining area, plus a direct connection to the reimagined Southside Park (close to two acres) and the UnderLine. Parking runs through a double-helix garage design with EV charging and ride-share access. Brickell around it continues to add density and public realm investment along the UnderLine corridor.

JDS Development Group, founded in 2002 and based in Miami, is a credentialed builder: Walker Tower and 111 West 57th Street in Manhattan are both delivered, and Monad Terrace in Miami Beach, completed in 2020, is JDS's one Miami-Dade condo TCO on record. That gives the firm genuine local delivery experience, not just a design portfolio.

The Mercedes-Benz brand partnership sits alongside SHoP Architects on design and Woods Bagot on interiors. Construction financing for this project began as an $86 million loan from Maxim Capital Group; that loan has since been transferred to CWRE SSF Flamingo Capital, LP, a Cottonwood affiliate. What that transfer has led to — and what it means for buyers — is addressed in The deal, below.

Deposits run 20% at contract, 10% at 180 days, 10% at the residence (structural) milestone, 10% at top-off, and the 50% balance at closing — a front-loaded schedule well above Flor
