The Rider Residences: Wynwood’s Retro-Modern Tower Makes Crypto Real Estate History
In a groundbreaking move for Miami’s real estate market, a cryptocurrency transaction was just facilitated for a unit at The Rider Residences — directly between digital wallets, bypassing traditional conversions to U.S. dollars or reliance on third-party platforms. This innovative transaction is signaling a shift toward more streamlined crypto-based real estate deals.
Set for completion in late 2026, The Rider Residences will bring a distinctive retro-modern vibe to Wynwood, one of Miami’s most dynamic neighborhoods. The development promises fully furnished residences with no rental restrictions, making it an attractive choice for investors and short-term rental enthusiasts alike. The building’s 1970s-inspired design embraces bold color palettes, textured fabrics, and glass balcony designs to create a nostalgic yet contemporary aesthetic.
Residences at The Rider will feature open layouts, gourmet kitchens outfitted with Bertazzoni appliances and Italkraft cabinetry, spa-style primary bathrooms, smart home systems, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood interiors with natural light. Deforma Studio is leading the architectural design, while RADYCA is curating the eclectic interiors.
The Rider Residences will offer a wide range of floor plans, including studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts, priced from the $400,000s up to approximately $1.8 million.
A robust amenity package is planned across multiple floors, designed to enhance both relaxation and social engagement. Highlights include a lobby café, a rooftop resort-style pool deck with an on-site restaurant and hidden speakeasy, a hi-fi listening lounge, a pet spa, and a state-of-the-art fitness center outfitted with Peloton and Technogym equipment. Residents will also enjoy access to a wellness spa featuring cold plunge pools, IV therapy services, and an authentic Turkish Hammam. Unique to The Rider is the “Toybox” amenity — an in-house collection of Harley Davidsons, Vespas, and electric bikes available for resident use.
Additional services include 24-hour valet parking, EV charging stations, private garage access, and an array of high-end concierge services.
Another major advantage: The Rider Residences will sit just one block from Wynwood’s future high-speed rail station, part of South Florida’s expanding Brightline network. This strategic location will provide seamless, car-free access to Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, and Orlando — further enhancing the building’s appeal for both local residents and investors seeking strong long-term value.
As Miami continues to lead the nation in innovation, lifestyle, and real estate growth, The Rider Residences stands as a bold new example of what the future of luxury urban living looks like.
