The building will feature 208 residential units on top of 250 hotel cabins that will be in the heart of downtown Miami at 227 NE 2nd Street.

"We see great synergy in combining the innovative, high-design elements of the YOTEL brand with modern, urban residences in a city like Miami," said Fahad Al-Shamlan, Vice President of Investments & Acquisitions for AQARAT - one of Kuwait's leading real estate companies that partnered with the project's developers.

Besides each unit, residents will have amenities like concierge services, a gourmet coffee bar, a restaurant and bar, a co-working space, a lounge, a pool deck and even a pet spa.
