MINOR HOTELS IS launching Anantara Miami Resort & Residences in Miami, marking the U.S. debut of the Anantara brand. The 50-story, 650-foot tower, developed with One Thousand Group, is expected to open in 2030.
The project will be located at the convergence of Miami’s Edgewater, Design District and Wynwood neighborhoods, and will be the first tower in the area to offer uninterrupted views across Biscayne Bay, Minor said in a statement. It will include 100 private branded residences, 120 resort residences available to hotel guests and 50 hotel suites.
“True luxury is time—the freedom to pause, to explore and to experience the world more deeply,” said William Heinecke, founder and chairman of Minor International. “Miami is the ideal location for the debut of our Anantara brand in the U.S. and we are excited to partner with One Thousand Group to bring this vision to life.”
The project follows Anantara’s approach to experience-led hospitality, the company said. A vitality center focused on movement, nutrition and recovery will anchor the offering, alongside programming based on Thai healing traditions. The development combines traditional practices and modern approaches to longevity.
Kevin Venger, cofounder of One Thousand Group, said the project introduces a new concept to the U.S.
“It’s not just another branded residence, but a concept that combines hospitality, private ownership and longevity into one experience,” Venger said.
The design team includes architecture by Kohn Pedersen Fox, in collaboration with ODP Architecture & Design and interiors by Patricia Urquiola, her first U.S. residential project.
The tower will include a private rooftop helipad with access to the Florida Keys, Palm Beach and the Bahamas. The property will provide access to Miami’s restaurants, galleries, boutiques and cultural institutions, including the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.
“Our approach has always been to anticipate where the market is going and develop buildings that don’t yet exist there,” said Michael Konig, cofounder of One Thousand Group. “With Anantara, we saw an opportunity to bring a brand into a market that is ready for a more meaningful, experience-driven offering.”
Separately, Minor is also developing a global data and AI platform to unify guest data, marketing and operations across its brands and destinations. The platform is being built with Google Cloud, Salesforce, OneTrust and Deloitte and is scheduled for deployment this year.
