The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami is a landmark mixed-use development located on One Island Drive, combining private residences with Mandarin Oriental’s North American flagship hotel. Rising 800 feet and 400 feet respectively, the two-tower development creates a premier residential and hospitality destination set within a secluded waterfront setting. Trinity Consultants has been engaged as the acoustical consultant, supporting the performance expectations of this high-rise luxury environment.

Vision

The development at One Island Drive is designed to set a new benchmark for luxury living and hospitality in Miami. The 800-foot tower includes 280 two- to four-bedroom homes, while the 400-foot tower houses 121 hotel guest rooms, 66 private residences, and 28 hotel residences. An expansive resort-style podium connects the towers and includes more than 100,000 square feet of amenities. Looking ahead, the project is positioned to offer a seamless blend of private residential living and five-star hospitality, supported by carefully integrated building systems that prioritize comfort and discretion.

Partnership

Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) is leading the architectural design of the two-tower development and shared podium amenities. Trinity Consultants is collaborating with the design team to integrate acoustic considerations into façade systems, structural assemblies, and amenity areas, ensuring that the architectural vision aligns with the high standards of performance expected from the Mandarin Oriental brand.

Value-Add

As acoustical consultant, Trinity Consultants is developing criteria and construction recommendations to control sound transmission between residential units, hotel rooms, and vertically stacked spaces. Special attention is given to the integration of expansive podium amenities and building services to prevent noise intrusion into private living and guest areas.
