The Rider Residences in Miami is one of the city’s most exciting new luxury condominium developments, offering a distinctive blend of design, technology, and lifestyle. Located at 94 NE 29th Street, The Rider sits at the crossroads of four of Miami’s most dynamic neighborhoods—Wynwood, Midtown, Edgewater, and the Design District. This prime location positions residents within walking distance of art galleries, fashion boutiques, high-end restaurants, and nightlife destinations, while also providing easy access to major highways and upcoming transit improvements such as the Brightline station at NE 27th Street. Developed by the Rilea Group in partnership with Ciprés, the 12-story building occupies roughly 0.6 acres and will feature 146 fully finished and furnished residences, along with ground-floor retail designed to activate the street and blend seamlessly into Miami’s creative urban landscape.
Architecturally, The Rider was envisioned by Deforma Studio and features interiors by RADYCA. The building’s aesthetic draws inspiration from the retro energy of the 1970s, reinterpreted through a modern, minimalist lens. Residents and visitors will notice bold design touches, exposed materials, textured finishes, and a color palette that blends warm tones with industrial accents. The glass-fronted façade and large balconies create a feeling of openness and light, while the building’s scale maintains a boutique feel compared to the city’s towering skyscrapers. Every residence at The Rider has been carefully designed to offer functional luxury—combining high design with comfortable living. Open-concept floor plans, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private terraces are complemented by elegant interior finishes. Kitchens feature premium European cabinetry, stone or Cosentino countertops, and high-end appliances from Bertazzoni. Bathrooms are spa-inspired, with rainfall showers, designer fixtures, and natural materials that reinforce the building’s sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. Smart home technology, keyless entry systems, in-unit washer and dryers, and pre-wiring for high-speed internet ensure that every residence meets the needs of today’s modern buyer.
The Rider offers a diverse range of floor plans, including studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom layouts, as well as a limited collection of penthouses with larger outdoor spaces and panoramic views. Prices start in the mid-$500,000s for smaller residences and can reach over $1.8 million for premium layouts or upper-level units. Each home is delivered fully furnished and ready for occupancy, allowing buyers to move in or begin renting immediately after closing. This turnkey model, combined with flexible ownership policies, makes The Rider a particularly attractive choice for both primary residents and investors.
One of the development’s defining characteristics is its emphasis on lifestyle and amenities. The Rider’s amenity package is extensive, curated to deliver a mix of relaxation, wellness, and entertainment. The rooftop level features a resort-style pool deck surrounded by lounge seating and tropical landscaping, offering unobstructed views of the Miami skyline. Adjacent to the pool, residents can enjoy a rooftop bar and lounge area designed for social gatherings. Wellness facilities include a state-of-the-art fitness center equipped with Peloton and Technogym equipment, infrared saunas, a cold plunge garden, a Turkish hammam, and a full-service spa offering treatments such as massages and IV therapy. Beyond physical wellness, the building also caters to creativity and community with unique amenities such as a vinyl listening room with DJ turntables, a speakeasy-style restaurant and bar, an art gallery, and a lobby café. Even pets have their own dedicated space, with a pet spa and grooming station located on-site. For urban mobility, residents have access to “The Toybox,” an exclusive collection of motorcycles, Vespas, and electric bikes available for personal use.
In addition to its lifestyle amenities, The Rider embraces modern financial and technological flexibility. It made headlines for completing one of Miami’s first direct cryptocurrency condominium sales—a transaction completed wallet-to-wallet using Bitcoin, without conversion to U.S. dollars. The development’s openness to digital finance extends to innovative financing options, including crypto-collateralized deposits and crypto-backed mortgage programs. Moreover, The Rider is fully approved for short-term rentals, meaning owners can rent their units daily, weekly, or monthly without restrictions. This flexibility appeals to investors seeking income-generating opportunities in Miami’s booming short-term rental market. The development also plans to offer its own management program for owners who prefer a hands-off approach.
Construction of The Rider is underway, supported by a $90 million construction loan from a Mexican financial institution arranged through a U.S. brokerage. Delivery is expected in late 2026 or early 2027. When complete, the building will include over 20,000 square feet of amenity space, a stylish lobby, retail storefronts, and valet and concierge services that reflect the Rilea Group’s track record for creating vibrant, community-oriented properties in South Florida. The group’s prior developments, including 1450 Brickell and The Bond on Brickell, are known for quality construction, design-forward architecture, and enduring appeal—all of which suggest that The Rider will be another strong addition to Miami’s luxury landscape.
From an investment perspective, The Rider combines lifestyle, design, and income potential in a way that aligns with Miami’s evolving market. Its central location at the heart of Miami’s cultural corridor means property values are expected to rise as the area continues to develop. The integration of flexible ownership, crypto-friendly payment systems, and furnished, ready-to-rent residences make it a forward-thinking product aimed at a new generation of global buyers. For residents, The Rider offers a full-service, resort-style environment with the authenticity and creativity that define the Wynwood-Midtown district. For investors, it offers an opportunity to capitalize on Miami’s continued transformation into an international hub for design, innovation, and digital finance. With its striking 1970s-inspired design, world-class amenities, and progressive ownership model, The Rider Residences promises to deliver a lifestyle experience as dynamic and unconventional as the city it calls home.
