A partnership led by Gencom and Miami-based White Bridge Capital has acquired the 652-key InterContinental Miami, the 34-story waterfront hotel at 100 Chopin Plaza in Downtown Miami. The property sits at the meeting point of the Miami River and Biscayne Bay, south of Bayfront Park and close to both the Central Business District and Brickell.
The transaction expands Gencom’s hospitality presence in South Florida and adds another major hotel asset to a portfolio already concentrated in Miami. The sale price was not officially disclosed, although it has been reported at roughly $300 million.
The acquisition also gives Gencom a second InterContinental-branded hotel, following its purchase of the InterContinental New York Times Square in late 2025. In Miami, the deal underscores continued investor interest in large, irreplaceable waterfront properties with established meeting, dining, and event operations.

Gencom Expands Its Miami Hospitality Footprint
Gencom said the acquisition strengthens its position in one of the country’s most competitive hospitality markets. The firm already owns or has interests in several significant Miami-area assets, including The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne and The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove.
Gencom co-developed the 423-key Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne and recently completed a renovation of the oceanfront resort valued at more than $100 million. The company also reacquired a majority interest in the 115-key Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove in December 2025.
With the InterContinental Miami now added to that portfolio, Gencom controls a broader collection of high-profile South Florida hospitality properties spanning downtown, Coconut Grove, and Key Biscayne. The latest purchase also reflects a continued focus on Miami assets with strong institutional positioning and limited replacement potential.
What the InterContinental Miami Contains
The hotel includes 652 guest rooms, along with 22 suites ranging from approximately 850 square feet to the 2,800-square-foot Presidential and Royal Suites. Standard rooms average about 405 square feet and are oriented toward views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline.
One of the property’s most recognizable features is its 200-foot-tall, 19-story digital canvas across two sides of the exterior. The programmable LED installation can display animations and artwork and has been part of the Downtown Miami skyline since a major renovation completed in the early 2010s.
The hotel also includes 35 meeting rooms and more than 90,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space. Other amenities include a rooftop pool with private cabanas, a spa, a fitness center, a business center, the Club InterContinental Lounge, and on-site retail.
Recent Renovation Supports the New Ownership Plan
The property recently underwent a comprehensive renovation covering guest rooms, furnishings, finishes, and technology. Upgrades also included improvements to the Club InterContinental Lounge, pool cabanas, and the SkyLawn outdoor event space.
Gencom’s acquisitions team said the updated condition of the hotel will allow the new ownership group to focus on strengthening revenue from rooms, meetings and events, and food and beverage operations. The firm described the property as well positioned in a market with barriers to entry, a reference to the limited supply of comparable waterfront hotel sites in central Miami.
The hotel’s dining program includes Toro Toro, a Pan-Latin steakhouse by chef Richard Sandoval, along with Bluewater, Ole, Starbucks, and Freddy’s Speakeasy. Those existing operations give the property a diversified mix of restaurant and social spaces that are important to both overnight guests and event business.
Downtown Miami Location Remains a Key Draw
The InterContinental Miami occupies a waterfront site at the edge of Downtown Miami, where proximity to Bayfront Park, Brickell, and the Central Business District supports both transient and group travel demand. Its location at the confluence of the Miami River and Biscayne Bay gives it a prominent position within the city’s core business and hospitality district.
For South Florida’s real estate market, the deal is notable because it involves a large-scale hotel with established infrastructure, a major event platform, and a site that would be difficult to replicate today. Properties with those characteristics often attract long-term investors seeking stable urban assets rather than short-term redevelopment plays.
White Bridge Capital and its international family office partners contributed a substantial portion of the equity for the acquisition. The firm said the transaction fits its strategy of pursuing unique opportunities with sponsors focused on high-quality assets in premier gateway markets.
The acquisition also comes as Gencom continues to advance other Miami hospitality projects, including Miami Riverbridge, a proposed more than $1.5 billion mixed-use redevelopment in partnership with Hyatt along the Miami River. That project would redevelop the Hyatt Regency Miami and James L. Knight Center site with 615-room Hyatt Regency hotel, a 280-room lifestyle hotel, 686 rental apartments, roughly 200,000 square feet of meeting space, 110,000 square feet of commercial space, and 50,000 square feet of new outdoor public space. It would also reconstruct nearly 500 feet of the Miami Riverwalk and add waterfront retail, dining, and public areas.
