Named after Locke T. Highleyman – the visionary behind iconic developments like Hibiscus and Palm Islands and the judge responsible for christening the area as “Wyndwood” in 1917 (later streamlined to Wynwood) – The Highley House is a love letter to the Magic City.
“This is our tribute to Wynwood and Downtown Miami,” said Jon Paul Pérez, President of Related. “Inspired by one of Miami’s visionaries, this community captures the city’s vibrant energy and pairs it with striking design and exceptional amenities.

The Highley House is where bold design meets indulgent living, offering a hand-crafted mix of elevated style and indulgent experiences. At its core is a dazzling rooftop oasis, complete with a shimmering pool overlooking the Miami skyline, a summer kitchen and grill, a sleek bar, and a Sky Lounge perfect for sunsets and celebrations.
For those with a flair for entertaining, the property delivers with a refined private dining and wine room, as well as an intimate private cinema and media lounge.

For those seeking ultimate relaxation, the spa invites with a sauna, steam room, cold plunge, and custom treatment suites that promise to soothe the senses.
The surprises don’t stop there. The building’s one-of-a-kind creator studio awaits the visionaries—whether podcasters, musicians, or influencers—while the game room beckons with an extensive lineup of a golf simulator, air hockey, ping pong, shuffleboard, and billiards.
In true Related fashion, art takes center stage. The property boasts a museum-quality collection curated by the masterminds behind the Jorge M. Pérez Contemporary Art Collection. Among the treasures are vibrant murals by Chase Melendez and Joe Geis, mesmerizing light installations by David Guinn, and whimsical sculptures by the celebrated Ken Kelleher, ensuring every corner of The Highley House feels like a gallery-worthy moment.
Everyday convenience meets elevated living with features like on-site EV charging stations, private resident storage, automated package concierge, and tech-forward co-working spaces designed to make life effortless and extraordinary.

The heart of the home, the designer kitchen, is a masterclass in sophistication with imported Italian cabinetry, sleek natural quartz countertops, and premium Samsung appliances ready to inspire culinary creations. The indulgence continues in the bedrooms, where spacious walk-in closets meet serene primary bathrooms, creating a retreat that’s as functional as it is chic. All homes are outfitted with Nest by Google thermostats and Latch keyless entry systems, seamlessly blending technology and convenience for a truly elevated experience.
