UNA Residences

UNA Residences is the curved, yacht-inspired tower OKO Group (Vladislav Doronin) and Cain International raised on Biscayne Bay at the southern edge of Brickell. Delivered in 2026, it now opens its first resale market: an essentially brand-new product, with a private marina, on one of the few stretches of waterfront left in the corridor.

Designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill —the studio behind the world's tallest skyscrapers— UNA stands out for its white, curved façade, an evocation of a yacht's hull, and for sitting directly on the water in the enclave of The Roads, south of Brickell's bustle. It is 47 floors and 135 residences of two to five bedrooms, from 1,100 to 4,786 square feet, with private boat slips, two pools, a spa and a bayfront club.

For today's buyer what matters is not the developer's render but the secondary market just being born: which units the first owners are reselling, at what price per square foot, and what the tower offers for rent. This page orders that —live inventory for sale and for rent, how to read value, and the buying process— so you reach the offer with judgment.

What makes the tower different

UNA's value is not just the address: it is combining bayfront with a private marina and an architect's design in a tower delivered in 2026. Among what defines the experience:

• Bayfront with a marina private boat slips on Biscayne Bay, a rarity in Brickell, where almost all the waterfront is already built out.
• Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill design the curved, yacht-inspired façade and bespoke interiors set UNA apart from the corridor's standard glass tower.
• Just-delivered product completed in 2026: new finishes, amenities and systems, without the wear or special assessments of older buildings.
• South Brickell, not downtown in the residential enclave of The Roads, minutes from Brickell's financial core but set apart from its density and traffic.

How the value reads: view, floor and line

In a one-of-a-kind building, two units of the same size can be worth very different amounts. Three variables explain almost the entire price difference:

The view

Not every orientation is worth the same. Direct-bay residences facing Key Biscayne —east exposure— command the premium; those facing the city and the Brickell skyline trade differently. In a new tower, the first resales also set the comps: it pays to read each closing before comparing prices.

The floor

Price per square foot rises with height: more light, less obstruction and, on the high floors, the best view. The value jump between the mid-rise and the upper floors is usually larger than the square footage suggests.

The line

Each line —the stack of units sharing a position on the floor plate— has its own terrace and exposure. Knowing which line you're looking at, and its resale equivalent, is the difference between paying market and overpaying. This is where an advisor who knows the building adds real value.

The resale thesis

Buying the resale of a just-delivered tower, rather than preconstruction, changes the risk profile. Construction and delivery risk disappear —the building is finished, delivered and operating— and the unit is physical, viewable today. In exchange, inventory is scarce: it is the few units first owners choose to resell in an essentially brand-new building.

The right question is not whether UNA is good —it is— but whether the specific unit is well bought: price per square foot against the building's first closings, the quality of the line and exposure, and the margin against what it would ask in rent. For the investor dollarizing into a trophy asset on the water, with a marina and an architect's design, a well-chosen unit combines scarcity, brand and a bayfront that is hard to replicate.
