Swire Properties Inc, a Swire Properties subsidiary in the United States, recently announced that it has reached an agreement with Swire Hotels to make EAST the hotel flagship at its US$1.05 billion mixed‐use Brickell CityCentre development in downtown Miami.
This will be the EAST brand’s first US hotel and Swire Hotels’ first North American venture and EAST, Miami is expected to exceed 20,000m² with 263 guest rooms and 89 serviced apartments. Billed as a lifestyle business hotel, EAST currently has locations in Hong Kong and Beijing.
“Interest on the part of hospitality companies in the Brickell CityCentre hotel has been keen,” said Stephen Owens, President of Swire Properties Inc. “Due to their desire to secure a prime location in the hot Brickell market and due to the inclusion of luxury retail in our project, ultimately we were able to select from among ten upscale hotel brands in choosing Swire Hotels’ EAST for our flagship.”
