Icon Brickell Miami — Floor Plans

At 465, 475, and 485 Brickell Avenue in Miami's financial district, Icon Brickell is the largest luxury residential development ever completed in Brickell — a 10-acre waterfront enclave housing three towers, approximately 1,800 total residences, and 1,000 feet of water frontage along Biscayne Bay and the Miami River. Developed by The Related Group, designed by Arquitectonica, with lobbies, common areas, and the building's iconic entrance designed by Philippe Starck through his Yoo by Starck design studio, the complex was completed between 2008 and 2009 and remains one of the most architecturally ambitious residential developments in Brickell's history.

The entrance to Icon Brickell is the most theatrical arrival sequence of any residential building in Miami: 100 columns modeled after the Moai structures of Easter Island, each 22 feet tall, each unique in size, shape, and finish, collectively valued at $5 million — conceived by Starck as a dark cave entrance illuminated by light emitted from the "eyes" of the columns. The result is an arrival that does not resemble the lobby of any other residential building in South Florida. For buyers evaluating the Brickell luxury condoMore Info market, Icon Brickell's three-tower structure, its waterfront scale, and its Philippe Starck architectural identity make it the most distinctive large-scale address in the neighborhood.

The critical decision for any Icon Brickell buyer is which tower — as each of the three towers offers a different floor plan program, a different rental policy, and a different relationship to the W Miami hotel brand. This guide covers all three.

Icon Brickell — Three Towers at a Glance

Tower 1 — 465 Brickell Avenue

Tower 1 is the largest of the three — technically a twin-tower structure rising to 57 and 52 stories respectively — housing 713 condo residences across studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans from 640 to 2,044 interior square feet. Tower 1 is a purely residential building with no hotel component — its 6-month minimum rental policy reflects its primary positioning as a full-time or seasonal residence rather than an investment or short-term rental vehicle.

Floor plan details confirmed across all official documentation:

Studio / Entry (~640 SF): Entry configurations with 9-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private terraces. Most accessible price point in the building. Full access to the shared amenity complex.

1 Bedroom (~800 – 1,100 SF): One-bedroom floor plans with open-concept kitchen, living, and dining zones. Italian cabinetry, stone countertops, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance suite fully integrated. Bathrooms with dual-sink vanities, Italian cabinetry, soaking tubs, and walk-in showers. Washer and dryer in-unit standard across all configurations.

2 Bedroom (~1,100 – 1,600 SF): The building's most active resale and rental tier. Split bedroom floor plans available within the two-bedroom range — a layout where the primary and secondary suites are positioned on opposite sides of the living area, delivering maximum privacy for co-habiting households. Kitchen countertops available in a choice of French limestone, Blue St. Tropez limestone, or Black Absolute Granite — a buyer finish selection option confirmed across multiple official sources and one of the building's most discussed specification details.

3 Bedroom (~1,600 – 2,044 SF): The largest Tower 1 standard floor plans at up to 2,044 interior square feet — among the most spacious standard three-bedroom configurations currently available in the Brickell resale market at Icon Brickell's price point. Wraparound balconies available at corner units in this bedroom count, delivering bay, river, and city views from multiple exposures simultaneously.

Tower 2 — 475 Brickell Avenue, Including Bay Homes

Tower 2 rises 58 stories with 394 residences in studio through three-bedroom configurations ranging from approximately 502 to over 2,000 square feet — including the building's most unique floor plan offering: the Bay Homes.

Bay Homes — The Tower 2 Distinction The Bay Homes at Icon Brickell Tower 2 are a distinct floor plan category within the broader Icon Brickell collection — lower-floor residences with direct bay access and expansive private terraces that deliver a ground-proximate water relationship unavailable in any of the tower floors above them. The Bay Home configuration delivers:

• Direct Biscayne Bay frontage from the terrace
• Expanded outdoor living environments proportioned as private garden terraces rather than conventional balconies
• The full Tower 2 interior specification — Italian cabinetry, stone countertops, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances — in a floor plan that reads more like a bayfront villa than a condominium unit

Tower 2 Bay Homes are the single floor plan configuration most frequently cited by agents who specialize in Icon Brickell as the building's most genuinely distinctive residential product — and the configuration most unlike anything else available in the Brickell resale market at comparable price points.

Tower 2 standard floor plan features match Tower 1: 9-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, private terraces, Italian cabinetry, Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, in-unit washer and dryer, and the shared amenity package including the 300-foot pool, Club FIFTY, and the 28,000-square-foot spa. The 6-month minimum rental policy applies to Tower 2 as well — consistent with its primarily residential character.

Tower 3 — W Miami, 485 Brickell Avenue

Tower 3 is structurally and operationally the most distinct of the three Icon Brickell towers. Rising 50 stories with 372 condo residences plus 148 hotel rooms and suites operated by W Hotels, Tower 3 is the complex's condo-hotel tower — meaning that the floor plan ownership model here includes the right to participate in nightly rental through the W Hotels managed rental program.

Floor plan details for Tower 3 condos:

Studio (~495 – 790 SF): The building's entry configurations — available within the hotel rental program for maximum investment flexibility.

1 Bedroom (~790 – 1,100 SF): One-bedroom configurations with the same Italian cabinetry and stone countertop specification as Towers 1 and 2, plus eligibility for the W Hotels nightly rental program.

2 Bedroom (~1,100 – 1,459 SF): Up to 1,459 interior square feet — the largest standard configurations in Tower 3. Split bedroom layouts available, confirmed across multiple active listing descriptions as a frequently cited floor plan characteristic of Tower 3 two-bedroom units.

The W Miami hotel occupies the lower floors of Tower 3 and is best known for two amenity features: the signature W Living Room lounge on the 15th floor, which opens to residents as well as hotel guests, and the Club FIFTY rooftop on the 50th floor — Florida's largest infinity pool at the time of its opening, with panoramic views of Downtown Miami, Biscayne Bay, Key Biscayne, and South Beach.

The key practical distinction for buyers: Towers 1 and 2 enforce a 6-month minimum rental policy and are operated as purely residential buildings. Tower 3 allows nightly rentals through the W Hotels program, making it the investment-grade floor plan option within the Icon Brickell complex for buyers who want short-term rental flexibility with a major hotel brand managing the rental operation.

The Philippe Starck Specification — What It Delivers in Every Floor Plan

Philippe Starck's design work at Icon Brickell operates at two levels: the arrival and common areas, and the individual residence specification through his Yoo by Starck residential design brand.

At the arrival level — the Easter Island column entrance, the 22-foot high lobby ceilings that continue the exterior's color theme, the yellow glass entrance features — Starck created one of the most theatrically resolved arrival sequences in any residential building in the Americas.

Within each residence, the Yoo by Starck specification includes:

• Kitchen countertops in buyer's choice of three materials: French limestone, Blue St. Tropez limestone, or Black Absolute Granite — an individual finish selection that makes each unit marginally unique within the standard floor plan program
• Bathroom design by Yoo by Starck with choice between classic-style French limestone flooring or cultural-style bamboo flooring — another buyer-selected finish option confirmed in multiple official listing sources
• 9-foot ceilings throughout all standard floor plans
• Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors across all principal rooms
• Italian cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms throughout all three towers
• Stone countertops standard in all configurations
• Fully integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance suite in all units
• Contemporary master bathrooms with dual-sink vanities, Italian cabinetry, soaking tubs, and walk-in showers
• Private terraces with bay, river, city, or ocean views depending on tower, floor, and orientation
• In-unit washer and dryer standard across all bedroom counts

The buyer finish selection program — countertop material in the kitchen, floor material in the bathroom — was a forward-thinking customization approach at the time of delivery (2008–2009) that is still noted in active listings as a meaningful source of unit-to-unit differentiation in the Icon Brickell resale market.

The Shared Amenity Program — Three Towers, One Infrastructure

All three towers share the Icon Brickell amenity complex — one of the most generously scaled resort amenity programs attached to any residential development in Miami:

• 300-foot-long swimming pool divided into a wading pool, 50-person thermal hot tub, and Olympic-length lap and recreational pool — positioned on a 2-acre landscaped pool deck more than 100 feet above Biscayne Bay with an outdoor fireplace overlooking Downtown Miami
• 28,000-square-foot spa and fitness center — at this square footage, the largest residential spa complex in Brickell by a significant margin — with steam rooms, saunas, locker rooms, aerobic studio, and juice bar
• Club FIFTY rooftop sky lounge (Tower 3 / W Miami) — private pool with panoramic views of Downtown Miami, Key Biscayne, and South Beach — Florida's largest infinity pool at the time of delivery
• i.c.o.n. interactive concierge on demand network — smart building technology for service requests, deliveries, and building management
• 1,000 feet of water frontage along Biscayne Bay and the Miami River
• 10-acre enclave with public and private parks, walking paths, and bayfront promenade
• Cipriani restaurant — the same acclaimed Italian dining brand operating at Cipriani Residences MiamiMore Info and historically associated with New York's most significant fine dining addresses — operating on-site within the Icon Brickell complex
• La Cantina No. 20 — Mexican cuisine
• 15th & Vine Kitchen & Bar — American cuisine
• 24-hour concierge and valet parking across all three towers
• Poolside café with food and beverage service

The 300-foot pool — divided into three functional zones — is the amenity most consistently cited by current residents as the defining daily lifestyle feature of Icon Brickell ownership. At its delivery, it was among the longest residential pools in the United States, and it remains the benchmark against which newer Brickell buildings' pool amenities are measured.

The Investment Case — Which Tower and Why

For buyers approaching Icon Brickell as a primary investment or income property, the tower selection determines the entire rental framework:

Tower 1 or Tower 2 (6-month minimum): Best suited for buyers who want to rent to long-term tenants or seasonal residents — the South American and European buyer who rents for 6 to 12 months at a time, or the Brickell professional on a corporate lease. The 6-month minimum produces a more stable, lower-turnover tenant base and eliminates the operational complexity of short-term rental management.

Tower 3 / W Miami (nightly rental permitted): Best suited for buyers who want to maximize income through the W Hotels managed rental program. The W brand's recognition — particularly among international travelers and corporate travelers to the Brickell financial district — drives occupancy in ways that a self-managed short-term rental cannot replicate. The tradeoff: Tower 3 has the smallest floor plans of the three towers (495 to 1,459 SF maximum) and the hotel operations in the building mean a transient-guest presence in shared amenity areas.
