District 225 Miami

“In most buildings, short-term hosting is a policy question. At District 225, it was the design brief.”

At 225 North Miami Avenue, on any given weekend, a resident’s Airbnb guests and the resident themselves share the same pool deck, the same lobby, and the same concierge desk — and nobody has to negotiate the fine print.

That is not an oversight in the HOA documents. It is the building’s stated purpose. District 225 is Downtown Miami’s first condominium conceived from the ground up for simultaneous owner-occupancy and short-term hosting on Airbnb, with the building’s concierge team trained to facilitate both with equal professionalism.

Delivered fully furnished and move-in ready, District 225 eliminates the three friction points that define most Miami investment condo purchases: construction risk, furnishing costs, and rental policy ambiguity. The building is complete and fully operational. The furniture is installed.

The Airbnb program is live, with no rental restrictions imposed by the building’s HOA. Eighteen units are currently listed on MLS across all three residence types — an active secondary market in a building that has demonstrated its demand since delivery.

The Project & The Developer

District 225 was developed by The Related Group and ROVR Development — the former a name that has shaped Miami’s residential skyline for more than four decades, the latter a specialist in full-service lifestyle residential properties.

The Related Group’s completed Miami portfolio includes Icon Brickell, SLS Brickell, Auberge Residences & Spa, and Paraiso Bay; District 225 represents their deliberate entry into the Airbnb-integrated residential segment, at a price point and with an amenity philosophy that no comparable Downtown Miami building has replicated since delivery.

The tower was designed by Sieger Suarez Architects, whose Miami credits include 1010 Brickell and The Harbour, and whose involvement in 619 Brickell Nobu Residences is currently underway. Interiors were executed by the Meshberg Group, an award-winning firm with residential and hospitality projects across New York and South Florida.

The Meshberg Group’s spa — a full treatment suite with dedicated sauna, steam, and changing rooms — is among the most carefully detailed shared spaces in any Downtown Miami residential building at this scale.

The Building & Architecture

Located at 225 North Miami Avenue — one block from Biscayne Bay, within walking distance of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Kaseya Center, and the free Metromover stop — District 225 occupies a position in Downtown Miami that most developers would describe as structurally irreplaceable: inside the city’s transit spine and cultural infrastructure, not adjacent to it.

Sieger Suarez designed the tower to serve residents who want the city to be accessible rather than decorative. Nine-foot ceilings throughout every unit maximize the perceived volume of compact floor plans. Floor-to-ceiling glass brings Biscayne Bay light from the east and the Downtown skyline from the west, depending on orientation.

The double-height lobby, hung with museum-quality art curated by the Related Group’s team, is the building’s first signal to incoming Airbnb guests that this is a residence of a particular standard.

Every unit is delivered fully furnished: custom Italian cabinetry in the kitchen, Bosch appliance suites including a paneled refrigerator/freezer, convection oven, cooktop, and dishwasher, rain showers in primary bathrooms, custom Italian vanities, smart-home controls for audio, climate, window treatments, and lighting, keyless entry, and a full-size washer and dryer in every residence.

Residences & Current Pricing

District 225 offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom condos for sale in Downtown Miami, each delivered fully furnished and move-in ready. The table below reflects current MLS pricing as of May 2026 across 18 active listings. The price per square foot ranges from $887 to $1,435, depending on floor, orientation, and unit type.

• Studio: 386–392 sq. ft. | 0 Bed / 1 Bath | Price from $439,999 | from $1,140/sq.ft.
• 1 Bedroom: 473–608 sq. ft. | 1 Bed / 1 Bath | Price from $510,000 | from $887/sq.ft.
• 2 Bedroom: 696–884 sq. ft. | 2 Bed / 2 Bath | Price from $810,000 | from $916/sq.ft.

Floor plan details from the building’s recorded plans illustrate what the numbers mean in practice. The 884 sq. ft. two-bedroom (Unit 05 type) places a master bedroom of 15’7” × 11’0” off a kitchen measuring 13’4” × 6’1”, with the living room oriented to maximize the window wall.

The 615 sq. ft. one-bedroom (Unit 03 type) features a living area of 21’8” × 11’2” opening onto an open kitchen — a layout that reads as an apartment rather than a hotel room, efficient for short-term hosting without sacrificing livability. The 786 sq. ft. two-bedroom (Unit 01/12 type) includes two full baths, a living room of 11’7” × 14’1”, and closets in both bedrooms.

Amenities

Over 25,000 square feet of amenity space is distributed across multiple dedicated floors, designed under the Meshberg Group’s direction and the Related Group’s programming brief to serve both owner-residents and their short-term guests with equal facility.

• 6th Floor — Resort Pool Deck

An expansive resort-style pool deck with towel service, an indoor/outdoor bar and social lounge with food and beverage service, and an entertainment room with gaming tables. The deck’s western orientation captures afternoon light at the hour when Miami’s outdoor spaces are actually usable.

• Activity Floors — Two Levels of Sport

A fully equipped fitness center with a private yoga and spinning studio with virtual trainer; an indoor basketball court; a 28-foot-high rock climbing wall; and a regulation-size racquetball court.

No Downtown Miami residential building in the $400k–$1M price range replicates this athletic depth — neither SLS Brickell, which competes at a higher price tier with a conventional gym-and-pool package, nor YotelPad Miami, which prioritizes compact co-working over sport, comes close.

• Spa — Meshberg Group Design

A treatment room and spa with separate his-and-hers saunas, steam rooms, and dedicated changing rooms. The Meshberg Group’s hospitality background shapes the sequencing and finish level of the wet and dry spaces in a way that a gym add-on does not.

• Co-Working Floor

Private meeting rooms, a dedicated conference room, a social lounge, high-speed Internet, and a full-service kitchen. A functional remote-work setup rather than a lobby table — the distinction matters for owners who use District 225 as a primary or secondary residence while working remotely.

• Rooftop Amenity Deck

A plunge swim spa, fire pit, summer kitchen, and panoramic views of Downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay. At elevation, the compression of the Downtown grid opens into open water; on clear evenings, Key Biscayne’s silhouette is visible on the horizon.

• Building-Wide Services

On-site café with in-building delivery to residences and amenity areas; electric bikes with charging stations; on-demand housekeeping; climate-controlled package room; smart-home management application with integrated concierge services; 24/7 valet parking (included in ownership); 24/7 concierge and security.

Location & Neighbourhood

Downtown Miami’s residential gravity has shifted significantly since District 225 was conceived. What was, in 2010, a district that cleared out after business hours is now a neighborhood dense enough to support independent coffee shops, restaurants built for the returning daily customer, and a cultural calendar that runs twelve months. District 225 sits inside that change, not alongside it.

The address — 225 North Miami Avenue — places residents at the junction of the financial district and the cultural corridor:

• The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is 0.5 miles north.
• Brickell City Centre, with Cipriani, EAST Miami, Quinto La Huella, and Saks Fifth Avenue, is reachable on foot in under 15 minutes.
• The free Metromover stops within two blocks and connects riders to Wynwood in 12 minutes, the Design District in 15, and the Adrienne Arsht stop in 8, without a car or a rideshare.
• Miami International Airport is 8 miles from the building, typically 20–25 minutes outside peak hours.
• Kaseya Center — home of the Miami Heat — is four blocks south; PAMM, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, is three Metromover stops north.
• What Downtown Miami does not offer, and what buyers should weigh, is beach proximity.
• Miami Beach is approximately 6 miles from 225 North Miami Avenue — a 20-minute drive in normal conditions.

Residents who expect to be at the sand daily will find Edgewater or Mid-Beach more aligned with that priority. District 225 exchanges beach immediacy for urban density, transit connectivity, and Airbnb economics — a trade-off its buyer profile consistently reflects.

A Saturday in the Neighborhood

The building starts from the inside out. By eight, someone is already in the co-working kitchen making espresso — not because they have a meeting, but because the on-site café doesn’t open until nine and the co-working floor’s full kitchen is always accessible.

By nine-thirty, the pool deck is active but not crowded; the best chairs are along the west rail, with the Downtown skyline behind you and, on a clear morning, a thin stripe of Biscayne Bay visible between the towers to the east.

By noon, the climbing wall on the activity floor has a short queue — four or five people, mostly regulars who discovered that the 28-foot route takes about six attempts before you stop second-guessing the upper holds.

The neighborhood itself runs on a different clock. The stretch of Flagler Street heading east toward Bayside wakes up closer to ten. Versailles Bakery’s downtown outpost opens on time, but the line doesn’t form until eleven.

By early afternoon, the Metromover fills with a mix of museum-goers heading to PAMM and residents who have figured out that the ferry from Bayside to Key Biscayne departs on the hour and that the round-trip costs less than two cocktails at Cipriani.

The honest observation: North Miami Avenue between the building and the Bayside marina is functional rather than scenic.

There is a pharmacy, a Vietnamese pho restaurant with a loyal weekly following, and a parking garage that plays music through external speakers until late. It is not a street you walk slowly. You walk it purposefully, and you arrive somewhere worth being.

Investment Perspective

District 225 occupies a specific position in the Miami secondary market: a completed, fully furnished Airbnb condo in Miami’s Downtown core, with no rental restrictions and 18 units currently available across three price tiers. As an investment condo in Miami, the logic here is structural rather than speculative. Buyers carry no construction risk. Units arrive furnished.

The short-term rental framework is operational rather than aspirational. The secondary market price range — $440k for an entry studio to $999k for a high-floor two-bedroom — positions District 225 significantly below comparable branded luxury product in Brickell while delivering the Airbnb eligibility that most of that product cannot match.

The two most cited comparables in the corridor — YotelPad Miami on Biscayne Boulevard and Paramount Miami Worldcenter, co-developed by the Related Group — do not replicate this combination. YotelPad Miami offers Airbnb-compatible units in a hotel-conversion format but without the athletic amenity depth or the hosting concierge infrastructure District 225 provides.

Paramount Miami Worldcenter occupies the ultra-luxury tier at price points that begin well above District 225’s range. In the completed, furnished, short-term-eligible segment between $440k and $1M in Downtown Miami, no building has matched District 225’s two-floor athletic program — which, it bears restating, includes a 28-foot indoor rock climbing wall and a regulation racquetball court, genuine differentiators in an otherwise gym-and-pool competitive field.

Rental demand in Downtown Miami is anchored by the district’s concentration of financial services, technology, and media firms that have established South Florida operations between Brickell and Wynwood, as well as Miami’s sustained position as a top-five most-searched Airbnb destination in the United States, per iPropertyManagement.com market data.

Buildings in this segment typically operate at 65–75% annual occupancy during peak season, with gross rental yields in the 7–10% range for owners who rotate effectively between short- and long-term tenants — a return on investment profile that comparable Brickell product at higher price points rarely matches.

District 225’s structure allows owners to rotate between long-term professional tenants and short-term visitors during Miami’s November through April peak season. Buyers should confirm current short-term rental policies and HOA regulations directly before contract execution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is District 225 complete, or still under construction?

District 225 is a fully delivered and operational building. Residents have been in occupancy since completion; the 18 units currently available are secondary-market resales, meaning buyers take possession without any construction timeline or delivery risk.

Can I rent my unit on Airbnb?

Short-term hosting on Airbnb was built into the building’s operational model from the outset — the concierge team is trained to assist owners in creating their listing, including professional photography support and description drafting. Hosting is subject to applicable laws and restrictions; buyers should confirm the current HOA policy and local regulations before executing the contract.

Who designed the interiors at District 225?

Interiors were designed by the Meshberg Group, award-winning across residential and hospitality projects in New York and South Florida. The spa facilities — treatment room, sauna, steam rooms, and changing rooms — are a dedicated commission for the Meshberg Group. Custom Italian cabinetry and vanities are standard throughout all residences.

What is the current price per square foot at District 225?

Based on the 18 active MLS listings in May 2026, the price per square foot ranges from $887 (a 608 sq. ft. one-bedroom listed at $539,000) to $1,435 (a high-floor 696 sq. ft. two-bedroom at $999,000). Studios and one-bedrooms range from $1,022 to $1,307 per square foot. The range reflects differences in floor elevation, orientation, and time on market.

How does District 225 compare to other Downtown Miami investment condos?

The building’s most specific competitive advantage is the combination of Airbnb eligibility, full furnishing at delivery, Related Group developer credentials, and a two-floor athletic amenity program unmatched at this price point in Downtown Miami.

Among short-term rental Miami condos in the completed segment below $1M, District 225 stands apart for its depth of athletic amenities and hosting infrastructure. YotelPad Miami is the closest concept, but it lacks the depth of athletic facilities and the hosting infrastructure.

For a direct unit-by-unit comparison with current listings in the Downtown and Brickell corridors, a Bogatov Realty advisor can provide a full breakdown.

Are there good schools near District 225?

Downtown Miami’s public school proximity is limited: Henry E. S. Reeves K-8 is the closest option, but it requires transport from most addresses in the area.

The private school corridor on Coral Way — including Ransom Everglades and Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart — is approximately a 15-minute drive.

District 225 primarily appeals to professionals, investors, and short-term rental operators; buyers with school-age children may find Brickell or Coconut Grove better aligned with family priorities.

The concierge at 225 North Miami Avenue already knows what kind of guests you’re expecting and when. The building was designed so that they would.

"District 225. Comfort for guests. Tranquility for hosts. We take care of the rest."
