Tech execs are buying up Florida buildings that ban phones
Briefly

The Residences at 1428 Brickell focus on providing a tech-free sanctuary amid Miami's urban landscape, emphasizing connectivity to nature and in-person interactions. The planned amenities include a Japanese onsen, meditative spaces, and the largest green space in Brickell. Developers like Michael Stern and Christine Martinez de Castro highlight the importance of tranquility and well-being amid technological distractions, aiming to create immersive, calming experiences that redefine luxury living by encouraging residents to disconnect from digital devices.
Tranquility in a city center is so hard to find," said Michael Stern, CEO of JDS Development. "This will be an entirely new neighborhood that prioritizes the health, well-being and the in-person connection of its residents.
The ultimate in luxury is to disconnect, and this is supposed to be immersive, not tech-friendly. In fact, technology wouldn't survive the circuit," said Christine Martinez de Castro, chief of marketing and sales for co-developer CMC.
