Echo Brickell Floor Plans | 180 Unique Residences & Carlos Ott Duplex Penthouse Guide

Echo Brickell — Floor Plans

At 1451 Brickell Avenue in Miami's financial district, Echo Brickell rises 57 stories at the south end of the Brickell corridor — directly adjacent to the Four Seasons Hotel, overlooking Biscayne Bay to the east and the Miami skyline to the west. Developed by Property Markets Group (PMG) and JDS Development Group, designed by Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott — the same architect whose design for Turnberry Ocean Club ResidencesMore Info defined the Sunny Isles Beach boutique luxury skyline before his death in 2022 — with interiors by Yoo Studio (the design studio founded in partnership with Philippe Starck), Echo Brickell was completed in 2017 and delivers 180 luxury residences across one- through four-bedroom floor plans plus a two-story crown penthouse designed personally by Carlos Ott himself.

The building's most extraordinary floor plan fact: every single residence in Echo Brickell has a different floor plan. All 180 units have been individually configured — no two are identical in layout, dimension, or spatial sequence. This is the building's fundamental design commitment and the direct architectural consequence of Ott's irregular, curvaceous tower form, whose changing floor plate geometry from level to level produces different spatial conditions at every floor.

Current resale pricing ranges from approximately $910,000 for entry one-bedroom configurations to $42 million for the Carlos Ott duplex crown penthouse.

The 180 Unique Floor Plans — Why No Two Are Identical

The 180 unique floor plans at Echo Brickell are not a marketing designation — they are the architectural reality produced by Carlos Ott's design for the building. The tower's curvaceous, irregular form means the floor plate changes shape and orientation at different elevations — the building's profile is not a uniform extrusion from ground to crown. As the building rises, curves, and adjusts its orientation, each floor's habitable geometry is slightly different from the floor above and below it.

The consequences for buyers are specific:

Every unit must be evaluated individually. At most Brickell buildings, a buyer who likes a two-bedroom on floor 20 can reasonably assume that the same two-bedroom on floor 35 is essentially identical with a better view. At Echo Brickell, that assumption is incorrect. The floor plate on floor 35 is dimensionally different from floor 20, and the two-bedroom unit at each level will have a different spatial character, terrace geometry, and view angle as a result. Two buyers who both want a two-bedroom Echo Brickell apartment will find two genuinely different floor plans to evaluate.

Terrace configurations vary by floor. The building's terraces — 6 to 8 feet deep throughout the standard collection — wrap around the building's curved perimeter differently at different floors, producing corner terraces, wraparound terraces, and angled terraces depending on where each floor plan sits within the building's overall form.

The building's famous cut-out section — the distinctive notch in Echo Brickell's upper façade that is visible from the Brickell skyline — creates a set of floor plans at the specific levels where the cut-out occurs that are unlike any other floor plan in the building. These units have exposure on three sides, expanded terrace access at the cut-out face, and view angles that are geometrically impossible in any other floor plan in the building.

1 Bedroom and 1 Bedroom + Den Residences — 650 to 1,418 Square Feet

One-bedroom floor plans range from 650 to 1,298 interior square feet, with one-bedroom-plus-den configurations extending to 1,418 square feet. The confirmed den-configuration floor plan at 1,418 SF (Unit 901 — 1 BR/2.5 BA/Den) includes a 566 SF terrace — a terrace that is nearly 40 percent of the interior square footage at a one-bedroom scale, made possible by the building's curved floor plate delivering unusually generous outdoor living proportions at this bedroom count.

Every one-bedroom and one-bedroom-plus-den residence includes:

• Semi-private elevators with biometric access technology — fingerprint or facial recognition entry that is specific to each unit's residents, providing a security and privacy level more commonly associated with boutique private-entry buildings than with a 57-story tower
• 10-foot minimum ceilings with floor-to-ceiling impact-resistant windows
• Marble flooring throughout all living areas
• Custom Italian cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms
• Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance suite including a built-in Bosch espresso machine — standard across all floor plans in the building
• Apple Home / iHome technology — integrated smart home control of lighting, climate, and security
• Contemporary lighting package with recessed lighting, dimmers, and lighting control throughout
• 6 to 8-foot deep terraces with summer kitchens
• Biscayne Bay or city views depending on specific unit orientation

The built-in Bosch espresso machine is a specification detail that recurs in every listing description for Echo Brickell and is cited consistently by residents as the building's most enjoyable everyday luxury — a detail that reflects Yoo Studio's commitment to resolving the kitchen as a curated environment rather than a functional appliance collection.

2 Bedroom Residences — 1,418 to ~2,000 Square Feet

Two-bedroom floor plans are the building's most active resale tier, ranging from approximately 1,418 to 2,000 interior square feet. The confirmed floor plan at 1,418 SF (Unit 1001 — 2 BR/2.5 BA) includes a 253 SF primary terrace and a secondary 100 SF terrace — two separate outdoor living spaces on different faces of the building, accessible from different rooms within the residence. The dual-terrace configuration at this square footage reflects the building's curved form producing terrace access at multiple orientations simultaneously within a single two-bedroom floor plan.

All two-bedroom residences include the full Echo Brickell specification: Italian cabinetry, marble flooring, Wolf/Sub-Zero/Bosch appliances, Apple Home technology, and biometric elevator access. Upper-floor two-bedroom units — above the building's mid-section — begin to deliver the bay views for which Echo Brickell is best known: the eastward exposure across Biscayne Bay toward Key Biscayne and, on clear days, the Atlantic Ocean beyond.

3 and 4 Bedroom Residences — ~2,000 to 3,000+ Square Feet

Three-bedroom floor plans range from approximately 2,000 to 2,800 square feet and four-bedroom configurations from approximately 2,800 to 3,000 square feet — the building's upper standard residential tiers. At these bedroom counts, ceiling heights step up to 12 and 14 feet respectively — a meaningful spatial escalation that, combined with the building's floor-to-ceiling glass, creates living environments significantly more voluminous than the square footage alone suggests.

The four-bedroom configurations at the upper floors — where ceiling heights reach 14 feet and the building's panoramic view corridor encompasses Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic Ocean, Key Biscayne, and the full Brickell and Miami skyline simultaneously — are among the most impressive residential environments in the Brickell market at their price point. The combination of 14-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, Biscayne Bay views, Italian marble flooring, and a Wolf/Sub-Zero/Bosch kitchen in a building with only 180 total units produces a floor plan experience that is architecturally closer to the boutique buildings of Sunny Isles Beach and Edgewater than to the typical 300-unit Brickell tower.

The Carlos Ott Duplex Penthouse — $42 Million, Personally Designed

The crown residence at Echo Brickell — the two-story Carlos Ott Duplex Penthouse — is the building's most extraordinary floor plan and one of the most significant residential floor plans in the current Brickell market:

• 4 bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, 1 study across two interior levels
• Approximately 5,060 square feet of interior space across both levels
• 3,000 square feet of wraparound terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay panoramically
• 23-foot ceiling heights in the primary living and entertaining areas — the tallest ceiling height of any residence in this entire MPE floor plan series
• Indoor lap pool — a private swimming pool within the penthouse interior, not on a terrace or rooftop deck
• Private gym within the residence
• Wine cellar within the residence
• Private elevator within the penthouse connecting both interior levels
• Floor-to-ceiling glass across all exterior-facing rooms at 23-foot height
• Designed personally by Carlos Ott — not by Yoo Studio or any other designer — making it the only residence in the building conceived by the architect himself rather than by the interiors team

The indoor lap pool is the most discussed floor plan feature in the building's history and the element that sets the Echo Brickell penthouse apart from every other Brickell penthouseMore Info currently available on the resale or pre-construction market. An indoor swimming pool — within the conditioned interior of a 57-story tower, not exposed to weather, privately owned — is a specification so uncommon in any high-rise building that its presence at Echo Brickell reflects Ott's decision to design the penthouse as if he were designing a private estate rather than a condo crown.

The $42 million listing price represents a price-per-square-foot above $8,300 on the interior alone — the highest price-per-square-foot of any Brickell residential listing in the current market, reflecting both the absolute uniqueness of the floor plan and the significance of Ott's personal authorship of the residence as a designed object.

The Yoo Studio Interior Language — Inspired by the Bay

Yoo Studio — the design firm co-founded by Philippe Starck that operates independently of Starck's individual projects — brought a bay-inspired, warm-cool material contrast to Echo Brickell's standard residential floors. The Yoo Studio philosophy at this building is rooted in the same biophilic connection to the building's Biscayne Bay context that Carlos Ott's architecture expresses structurally:

• Italian marble flooring throughout all living areas — warm natural stone that connects the interior to the bay's natural palette
• Custom Italian kitchen cabinetry — precisely detailed millwork designed to Yoo Studio's specification
• Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance suite — the building's premium appliance standard applied consistently across all 180 floor plans
• Built-in Bosch espresso machine — integrated into the kitchen cabinetry as a designed element rather than a countertop appliance
• Apple Home / iHome smart technology — lighting, climate, and security control integrated into the building's systems from the outset rather than added as an afterthought
• Contemporary lighting package — recessed fixtures, dimmers, and full lighting control as standard throughout every residence

The collaboration between Carlos Ott and Yoo Studio at Echo Brickell is described in all official documentation as a "first-time collaboration" between the two parties — a pairing that produced a building whose architectural and interior voices are distinct but compatible, with Ott's curved structural logic providing the spatial framework within which Yoo Studio's warm material palette resolves.

The Biometric Elevator Technology

The semi-private elevators with biometric access technology at Echo Brickell are the building's security feature most frequently cited by residents and agents as the most practically meaningful innovation in the building's operational design. At a 57-story building with 180 units, the biometric elevator system:

• Prevents non-residents from accessing residential floors without accompanied entry
• Eliminates the need for physical key cards — the resident's biometric data (fingerprint or facial recognition) is the entry credential
• Creates a functionally private arrival experience on each residential floor — a security level typically associated with boutique buildings with private elevator entry rather than towers of Echo Brickell's height and unit count

The biometric elevator system connects Echo Brickell directly to the security specifications at One Thousand MuseumMore Info (private dedicated elevators), Pagani ResidencesMore Info (private ensuite elevators), and Casa Bella ResidencesMore Info (biometric access) as buildings in this MPE series that treat residential privacy as a structural feature rather than a lobby-level amenity.

The Cut-Out Section — The Building's Skyline Signature

Echo Brickell's most visually distinctive feature — the prominent cut-out section in the building's upper façade — is simultaneously the building's skyline signature and a structural floor plan differentiator. The cut-out creates a void in the building's mass at the upper floors where the facade steps back dramatically, exposing terraces on multiple sides of the building simultaneously. Residences at the specific floors adjacent to the cut-out deliver:

• Three-sided outdoor terrace exposure — possible only at the cut-out level where the building's mass is removed
• View angles that look both across the bay and along the building's own face simultaneously
• Natural light from multiple orientations simultaneously — a light quality that is geometrically impossible in the building's standard floor plates above and below

For buyers who specifically want the building's most architecturally distinctive floor plan position — not merely the highest floor or the largest square footage, but the floor plan with the most unique architectural character — the cut-out level residences are the configuration most directly tied to the building's design identity.
