Brickell Walking Routes Shift as the Baccarat Tower Builds Out

Baccarat Residences Miami sits at 99 SE 5th Street with two tower cranes, film on the glass and no published coach bay. Measured distances, the March 2026 stage, and a timing plan for guides through 2027.

Baccarat Residences Miami occupies a riverfront parcel at the mouth of the Miami River in Brickell. Miami permits carry the address 99 SE 5th Street. The tower is marketed at 444 Brickell Avenue. Both forms appear in the project record, so a route sheet should carry both and a dispatcher should confirm which one the guide holds.

The team and the program

Related Group and GTIS Partners are the developers. Arquitectonica is the architect, Meyer Davis handles interiors, Enzo Enea designed the landscape and John Moriarty & Associates is the general contractor. The tower runs 75 storeys and holds 360 residences.

Where the build stands the day you quote

Florida YIMBY photographed the structure on 13 March 2026. Decking had reached the 40th floor of 75, with roughly 35 floors left to build. Two tower cranes stand above the structure and carry the climb. Curtain wall installation runs several floors below the active formwork, and balcony glass railings go on beside the glazing.

The glass still wears its protective film. The facade will read differently once the coverings come off. Floor plates expand and contract from level to level, and the slab edges form a series of shifting curves.

Distances a schedule can use

Every figure below is a straight-line measurement from the site to the venue, taken on 25 October 2026 from OpenStreetMap coordinates. A walked or driven route will run longer.

The Brickell Avenue Bridge sits 81 m from the site. W Miami is 103 m. Brickell City Centre is 324 m. The Miami Riverwalk is 548 m, The Shops at Mary Brickell Village 583 m, Brickell Key 584 m and the Brickell Metrorail station 637 m. Bayfront Park is 802 m and the Four Seasons Hotel Miami is 1,174 m.

What the record publishes about group access

A text search of the project record returns no instance of coach, bus, shuttle, loading, set-down or drop-off. The record publishes no coach bay, no kerb allocation, no staging area and no hours restriction for the site frontage. Guides should not promise one.

The amenity list holds no meeting room and no event space. More than 75,000 sq ft of amenities covers social lounges, a health and fitness centre, La Mer spa facilities, a pool deck over the river, a private marina with a yacht for residents, and gardens by Enzo Enea along the riverwalk. A 10,000 sq ft waterfront restaurant is listed. The record names no restaurant operator, no opening date and no public access term.

The marina serves residents. Nothing in the record offers a berth to a tour vessel. The 28 riverfront flats and duplexes sit along the Miami River and its promenade, and the record attaches no visitor access to that frontage.

When the frontage works clear

The 13 March 2026 report projects a top-out later in 2026 at the pace set that month, then overall completion in early 2028. The publicly visible milestone list ends on 13 March 2026. Seven further dated milestones sit behind a subscription, so every date after March 2026 stays a projection.

Expect exterior work on the river elevation through 2027. Plan the 99 SE 5th Street frontage for cranes and deliveries across that window, and for hoarding along the kerb.

What a guide can state

Six lines each carry a dated record. The tower is under construction at 40 of 75 floors as counted in March 2026. Two tower cranes stand above the structure. The glazing carries protective film. No visitor entrance appears in the record. No coach bay and no group facility appear either. The marina is private.

Baccarat Residences Miami is the sister development to the Baccarat Hotel & Residences in Midtown Manhattan, and SH Hotels & Resorts manages the Brickell property. The record lists 360 residences and no guest rooms, so no room inventory, rate or lodging opening date exists for the site.

Three checks before each season

Confirm the last published floor count. Confirm whether a dated milestone has appeared after 13 March 2026. Confirm the completion line still reads early 2028. Those three answers tell a guide whether the stop needs re-timing, and they take one look at the project record.

Where a client asks for a group space near the river mouth, the recorded options sit away from the site. Brickell City Centre is 324 m, Mary Brickell Village 583 m and Bayfront Park 802 m. Those are measured distances, and the venue capacity at each one needs a separate confirmation from the venue.
