Aman Group has unveiled ATMA, a new ultra-luxury hospitality brand built around what the company calls performance living, and it's debuting with a planned supertall tower on Biscayne Bay in Brickell, Miami's financial district. The project, created in partnership with tennis champion Novak Djokovic, is slated to rise to 1,049 feet and will include a hotel, branded residences and an invitation-only private members club, with completion scheduled for 2031.
According to Markets of Tomorrow, Djokovic is ATMA's global partner and will lead the brand's longevity, nutrition, racquet sports and wellness programming, building on what the outlet describes as an existing multi-year relationship between the tennis star and Aman Group. Markets of Tomorrow attributes the following comments to Djokovic: “True performance is built on balance, where training, recovery, nutrition and mental wellbeing work together to support longevity and sustained excellence,” and ATMA Miami “will sit at the pinnacle of what performance living can achieve.”
The name itself carries meaning: per Markets of Tomorrow, ATMA translates to “the spirit or the true self” in Sanskrit, and the brand is designed to span both urban and remote settings. Aman Group chairman and chief executive Vlad Doronin framed the launch as, per the article, a new awakening in hospitality bringing together wellness, performance, longevity, design and events.
A Supertall With a 120,000-Square-Foot Spa
The ATMA Miami tower will be designed by SHoP Architects, with interiors by Studio Paolo Ferrari, and will feature a landscaped podium, curved balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows, according to Markets of Tomorrow. Interiors are planned to include furniture shaped to the human form along with ambience that adjusts to residents' and guests' circadian rhythms.
At the center of the project is a planned 120,000-square-foot spa and wellness center that the announcement describes as set to be one of the largest of its kind in Miami. The space is planned to include indoor padel, tennis and squash courts along with a racquet club overlooking Biscayne Bay, a fitness center with high-intensity group and private training studios, mobility and conditioning labs, a medical wellness center and dedicated recovery spaces, per Markets of Tomorrow. The property is also planned to offer nutrition-optimized wellness concepts, signature dining destinations, bars with live music, and performance and events spaces, with its own marina adjacent to the building along the five-mile Brickell Bay Drive baywalk.
Residences From One Bedroom to Penthouses
ATMA Miami's branded residences are planned to range from one to five-plus-bedroom homes up to six-bedroom penthouses at the tower's pinnacle, according to the project announcement. Residence owners are set to receive hotel-style amenities including a private pool, a fitness center with yoga and personal training studios, thermal spa facilities, a residents' lounge and co-working space, and priority nomination to join the invitation-only, racquet-focused ATMA club. Club members are planned to get preferred access to the marina, spa and wellness center, restaurant and social spaces.
OKO Group and Oak Row Equities are developing ATMA Miami, with completion scheduled for 2031, the companies said in the launch announcement. Oak Row Equities went under contract on December 30, 2024, to buy the 4.25-acre site at 1001 and 1111 Brickell Bay Drive from Aimco, according to Bisnow, which reported the deal brought in OKO Group as a partner and landed a $464.5 million acquisition and predevelopment loan as part of what it described as a $520 million transaction. Bisnow also reported that the site is zoned for more than 3 million square feet of development and a maximum tower height of 1,049 feet.
Joining a Crowded Field of Miami Supertalls
ATMA Miami is arriving amid a broader building boom along Biscayne Bay. The New York Times reported that Miami was expected to have four new buildings taller than 1,000 feet by 2030, and described 1,049 feet as the height limit the Federal Aviation Administration had set to preserve safe flight paths in and out of Miami International Airport.
Cipriani Residences in Brickell became the city's tallest building in July at 950 feet, edging out the nine-year-old Panorama Tower by 82 feet, per the same Times report, with Cipriani set for completion in 2027. The Times reported that Cipriani would be surpassed by the Waldorf Astoria Residences in 2028, and that by 2030 the Waldorf would be matched by Miami Riverbridge, Dolce & Gabbana and One Bayfront, all expected to top out at around 1,049 feet. Separately, Skift had reported months earlier that Aman appeared to be preparing a third hotel brand focused on large-scale, mixed-use urban developments, a claim that lines up with Tuesday's formal unveiling.
A 38-Year-Old Hospitality Group Expands Its Portfolio
ATMA joins Aman and Janu as the hospitality group's third brand, according to Markets of Tomorrow. Janu was introduced in 2020, with Janu Tokyo opening in March 2024. Aman Group describes itself as having a 38-year legacy and a portfolio of 36 hotels, resorts and branded residences across 21 destinations, a scale the company is now betting can extend into supertall, performance-focused urban towers with Novak Djokovic as the face of its wellness programming.
