Faena District Miami Beach represents a blend of luxury, art, and culture brought to life by developer Alan Faena and architect Rafael Viñoly. Designed as more than residences, this district offers a lifestyle rooted in art and community within Miami Beach’s only private 14-acre park. Each part of the district embodies the Faena brand’s philosophy of blending sophisticated design with cultural experiences.
The Faena Brand: Where Luxury Meets Art and Culture
The Faena brand has built a global reputation by intertwining luxury with art and cultural immersion. Alan Faena’s approach is experiential—creating spaces that aren’t just visually stunning but engaging on a deeper level. His first Faena District in Buenos Aires established the foundation, featuring art galleries, theaters, public installations, and wellness centers, making it a hub for high-end, community-driven living. The success of Faena District Miami Beach further solidified Faena’s status as a lifestyle brand that emphasizes more than just luxury; it fosters community, creativity, and sophistication.
In Miami Beach, the Faena District has redefined the local scene, offering more than luxury residences. With features like the Faena Hotel and Faena Forum, it has become a go-to venue for international art events and cultural gatherings. Extending this vision to the Miami River District, Faena aims to build another cultural and residential center that connects Miami’s bustling urban scene with the natural beauty of the riverfront.
Alan Faena: Bringing Art to Luxury Living

Alan Faena began his career in Buenos Aires in fashion, founding the Via Vai brand in the 1980s. In the early 2000s, he transitioned to real estate, launching Faena Group and initiating the Faena District in Buenos Aires. This project redefined the Puerto Madero area, integrating art with high-end residences, cultural venues, and public spaces, marking him as a pioneer in lifestyle-focused real estate. Faena District Miami Beach took his philosophy of combining art, design, and community further, making it an instant landmark. Hosting art installations, live performances, and film screenings, the district is meticulously curated to evoke creativity and connection.
