Delano Residences Miami sells 421 homes under a licensed brand

A 90-story tower at 400 Biscayne Boulevard with 421 residences, announced 19 February 2026, forecast to break ground in June 2027 and complete in 2031. The project's own disclosure states the Delano brand is licensed to the developer.

The record

Delano Residences Miami is a 90-story tower at 400 Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami. The project record lists 421 residences and no guest-room count. Property Markets Group develops the tower with Ennismore, the hospitality group behind the Delano brand. Markets of Tomorrow publishes the record with a stamp of Verified Oct 21, 2026.

PMG and Ennismore announced the project on 19 February 2026. Sales opened in March 2026 from a gallery at 400 Biscayne Boulevard, with residences priced from $800,000. The record dates an expected groundbreaking to June 2027 and completion to 2031, and reads the status as Announced. Construction has not started.

The brand sits on a licence

The project sells as Delano Residences & Hotel Miami. The sales site carries a disclosure block. Delano Hotel and Residences Miami is not owned, developed or sold by Delano US Opco. 4th and Biscayne Trustee LLC holds the licence, uses the Delano marks under a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable agreement, and operates the project. The disclosure states that the licence may be terminated, and that no residential unit holds a right to the Delano brand.

That structure sets the loyalty question. A branded residence earns no member rate on a room, because a residence is not a bookable night. An operator reads the licence term before the amenity list.

The amenity list

The project site names an observation deck over 850 feet up, called Miami's first. It names a Delano Members Club, a sky restaurant over 800 feet, an all-day signature restaurant, the Rose Bar, Cafe Delano and a wellness programme called The Source by Delano. Owners receive beach access at Delano Miami Beach.

On-demand services run through the residences: in-residence housekeeping, dry cleaning and laundry, pet services, and a maintenance package for owners who leave. Each item carries hotel labour across housekeeping, kitchen, bar, front-of-house and security.

The numbers the record omits

The record publishes no hotel key count, no management agreement, no rental programme for the 421 units, no staff count and no operator for the amenity floors. It publishes no capacity, hire term or operating hour for the observation deck, the sky restaurant, the bar or the club.

Four documents would settle the operating model. A management or services agreement for the amenity floors. A rental programme with its terms and its cap. A staffing plan naming the employer of record. A brand standards schedule that binds the residences to Delano service levels. Request each one in writing.

The programme the brand runs

Ennismore runs Dis-loyalty, a paid travel and food membership. Its site reads 120-plus hotels from eleven brands in 80-plus destinations. The offer set reads 20 percent off a first stay at each of the 120-plus hotels, 10 percent off every return visit, and 10 percent off the bill at 200-plus restaurants, bars and cafés for tables of up to six. Members receive 50 percent off first stays during the three months after a hotel opens, across more than 15 openings this year.

Cafe Delano, the sky restaurant and the Rose Bar can join the food-and-drink side of that programme. The 421 residences cannot. A hotel inside a kilometre can sell that guest a night.

Six hotels inside a kilometre

A straight-line OpenStreetMap measure from the tower's coordinates at 25.7783459, -80.188896 returns the competing set. YVE Hotel Miami at 146 Biscayne Boulevard sits 261 metres away. citizenM Miami Worldcenter at 700 Northeast 2nd Avenue sits 400 metres away. InterContinental Miami at 100 Chopin Plaza sits 740 metres away. JW Marriott Marquis at 255 Biscayne Boulevard Way sits 783 metres away. Hyatt Regency Miami at 400 Southeast 2nd Avenue sits 845 metres away. Kimpton EPIC at 270 Biscayne Boulevard sits 871 metres away.

Each sells rooms by the night, and each carries food and beverage, housekeeping and front-office payroll on its own books. The distances are straight-line.

The market panel

The record carries a market panel under a Miami heading with a Downtown label: an 85-project pipeline and 32,648 residences and keys across the publisher's database. The panel prints the same residence total under other district labels on other records from the same publisher, so read it as a database count.

An operator pricing 2031 rates holds the four documents above as the open items on this file.
