Miami’s skyline is set to gain a monumental new addition with the unveiling of Mercedes-Benz Places, a residential-led mixed-use development in the heart of Brickell.

This ambitious project, a U.S.-first collaboration between JDS Development Group, GV Development and Mercedes-Benz, promises to set new standards in thoughtful placemaking and urban sustainability. The venture embodies the ethos of both brands — innovation, design of the highest caliber, and sustainable living. Designed by starchitects SHoP Architects, the skyscraper features a striking stacked design that blends the precision of Mercedes-Benz with Miami’s dynamic architectural landscape. Residences at Mercedes-Benz Places in Miami are set to boast panoramic views of the city, Biscayne Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Beyond the luxurious new homes, the development includes extensive amenities and hospitality areas, outstanding health and wellness facilities, new retail, and on-site parking. A re-imagined Southside Park, by New York High Line design practice Field Operations, will be one of the largest green spaces in Brickell. The park connects to the rest of Brickell through the pathways of The Underline (also by Field Operations). The entire city block is conceived as a harmonious pedestrian and public realm. The energy and experience of the city is drawn through the park at the ground level, creating an integrated pedestrian experience that, rising with the building, redefines and extends it into the sky. Scheduled for first deliveries in 2027, the new project is a revolutionary urban living experience designed to create a lasting impact on Miami’s cityscape and beyond; Prices from $1,194,900 via SERHANT; MercedesBenzPlaces.com.
