— Expecting: More Residential Developments in Edgewater, Miami?


Art + Tec Development’s Proposed Condo-Hotel, 2650 Biscayne Boulevard

Why we’re watching: Five-lot assemblage, including 2650 Biscayne Boulevard, 250 NE 27th Street, and 265-245 N.E. 26th Terrace, to be redeveloped as a condo-hotel.

Developer Art + Tec will add to his five-lot, 0.7-acre assemblage to build a condo-hotel within a mile of Trader Joe’s and Margaret Pace Park. Zoning allows for a 36-story tower with up to 103 condos or 206 condo-hotel units. Kobi Karp will likely be the architect of choice for this new construction in Edgewater, Miami.


Peru-based Grupo T&C’s Residential Tower, 423 Northeast 27th Street

Why we’re watching: It will be interesting to see which of two commissioned condo projects the South American developer will choose to build on this key parcel. 

In February 2024, Paris-based Groupe City sold its 37,479-square-foot Edgewater assemblage to Peru-based developer Grupo T&C. Grupo has engaged two architects to draw up separate plans for their proposed condo tower, from which they will make a selection. The developer ultimately plans to build a boutique condo with partial water views.


Second Condo Tower Proposed by Grupo T&C, 1825 and 1837 NE 4th Avenue

Why we’re watching: Potential short-term rental-friendly tower opposite Margaret Pace Park.

About a decade after acquiring its first development parcel in Edgewater, Peruvian developer Grupo T&C led by William Ticona submitted plans to build a 60-story tower with 592 short-term rental condos in April 2024.


SB & Hazelton’s 55-story Residential Tower, 419 Northeast 19th Street

Why we’re watching: New York-based partners SB Development and Hazelton Capital Group are back to the drawing board for their bayside parcel; we expect the duo to announce an on-trend luxury residential project in this condo-dense area. 

Seated right behind the Cité on the Bay condo tower, the developer duo paid about $12 million for all 13 units at the Belmar condo in August 2023. Reviving their proposed residential venture, the co-developers submitted plans for a Fogarty Finger-designed 55-story tower featuring 463 units and 180 parking spaces in a podium. The partners have already terminated the condo association but were sent back to the drawing board to reduce the scale of the project.


2900 Terrace, 421 N.E. 29th Street

Why we’re watching: Potential apartment tower with larger-than-usual floor plans and 102 electric vehicle charging stations.

Presented to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board for approval in November 2023, developers Oak Row Equities and Lndmrk Development proposed building a rental tower west of the Biscayne Beach condo on the bay. Units will range from a spacious 756 to 1,520 square feet, with a range of one bedroom with den to three-bedroom floor plans.

Designed by Arquitectonica, the 32-story tower will include 324 apartments, 16,257 square feet of commercial space, and 504 parking spaces. With amenities starting on the sixth and seventh floors, residents will enjoy access to two pickleball courts, golf simulators, a pool, saunas, a gym, a kid’s play area, and coworking space – essentially everything needed to live your best life.


35-story Mixed-use Tower, 3200 NE Biscayne Boulevard

Why we’re watching: Potential resi-hotel by Urbanica Hotels next to the key transit corridor. Submitted to Miami’s UDRB, the developer has requested several waivers to develop the project.

Green Circle Development LLC, an affiliate of Urbanica Hotels, submitted plans in March 2024 to build a 35-story mixed-use tower featuring a compact urban hotel. The Arquitectonica-designed tower will include 110 residential units and 108 lodging units, along with 5,000 square feet of commercial space, 2,000 square feet of office space, and up to 332 parking spaces in a screened podium.

Featuring several distinctive design elements, such as arches on the ground floor and palm tree accents, residential units will be located on floors 24-33, with sizes ranging from 660 to 1,433 square feet. Amenities will include multiple pools, lounge areas, a fitness center, a children’s room, a ground-floor restaurant, a coffee bar, and more.


Grupo T&C’s 57-story Residential Tower, 404 to 436 Northeast 35th Street

Why we’re watching: Potential condo-apartment tower on 0.8-acre assemblage.

While the assemblage is zoned to carry a 36-story tower with 124 residential units or 248 hotel rooms, developer Grupo T&C is pushing plans to build a 57-story tower featuring condos and apartments. Likely to file plans in Q1 2025, the Peruvian developer has proposed building between 600 and 800 units, with the condos allowing flexible rentals. 


UNCG and Vertical Developments’ Condo-Hotel, 445 NE 36th Street/3618 NE Fifth Avenue

Why we’re watching: Plans for a branded condo-hotel fronting Martell Park and the Julia Tuttle Causeway. It was approved by Miami’s Urban Development Review Board in February 2024.

In 2023, developers Urban Network Capital Group (UNCG) and Vertical Developments acquired a 0.45-acre parcel between 36th Street and Interstate 195 to build a condo-hotel. The Kobi Karp-designed tower will rise 27 stories with 180 units and about 7,290 square feet of ground floor retail/commercial space. The bayfront tower will feature two amenity decks, one on the rooftop and another atop its parking podium. Developers are in talks with a potential branding partner.


Denny’s Restaurant Site, 3600 Biscayne Boulevard

Why we’re watching: Since zoning allows the development of 500 residential units per acre, we’ll be watching what is approved to come up at this key parcel just off the I-95 on NE 36th Street.

Developer Pacific Star Capital seeks approval to replace the Denny’s Restaurant site with an 18-story mixed-use building with 175 apartments, about 37,000 square feet of retail, and 366 parking spaces as well as a grocery store. The project is designed by Miami-based Alfonso Jurado Architecture and will feature units ranging from 679 to 2,290 square feet in size. Although we’re sad to see Denny’s go, we’re equally excited to see what is planned for this prime parcel.


Tower 36, 3601 Biscayne Boulevard & 345 and 409 NE 36th Street

Why we’re watching: As One Thousand Group, developer of the Zaha Hadid-designed One Thousand Museum, switches plans from building an office tower to developing a luxury condo, we look forward to more details unraveling as the project goes through approvals.

One Thousand Group paid $53 million to acquire a former gas station property in December 2024. The gas station assemblage, across the street from the Denny’s restaurant site, spans 1.6 acres and is a prime parcel overlooking the Julia Tuttle Causeway.

Tower 36 is designed by New York-based KPF Architects. The proposed mixed-use will rise 635 feet with 312,058 square feet of sellable/leasable condo or office space, 29,109 square feet of commercial space, and 671 parking spaces. Boasting amenities similar to those in Downtown’s One Thousand Museum, the high-rise will feature a rooftop helipad and lounge, a private members club, multiple food and beverage concepts, and wellness uses.


Aimco’s 38-story Rental Tower, 560-640 Northeast 34th Street

Why we’re watching: Aimco’s boutique luxury rental project that has been in the works for the past two years and recently downsized to appeal to its neighbors.

With Aimco securing a $228 million loan in September 2024, the Denver-based developer is well-positioned to begin constructing its 38-story apartment tower. Planned to rise immediately south of the for-sale Hamilton Tower, it was formerly known as Hamilton House. The unnamed tower will feature 114 luxury residences averaging 2,500 square feet and 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.


Metro 2 at Edgewater, 3055 Northeast Fourth Avenue

Why we’re watching: Second phase of the recently completed Metro Edgewater, a 32-story tower with 279 units. Plans for Metro 2 are submitted to the city’s Urban Development Review Board.

Following the success of Metro Edgewater, co-developers Camino Capital Management, Lujeni, and Building Block Realty proposed a 28-story mixed-use next door. The Burgos Lanza & Associates-designed tower will feature 103 rentals on floors 15 through 28. Units will range from 748 to 1,374 square feet in size, with a mix of one- to three-bedroom layouts.

Metro 2 will also be home to 60 hotel rooms on floors 8-14, 35,134 square feet of office space, 9,745 square feet of ground-level commercial space, and 220 parking spaces. There will be separate amenities and lobbies for the hotel and apartments. Some amenities include two pools, a salt room, a sauna, and an outdoor gym.


Related Group & Lndmrk Properties’ $12M Assemblage, 519, 525 and 535 N.E. 29th Street

Why we’re watching: There’s been no action since 2023 for this assemblage, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for announcements and approvals. The three-parcel assemblage was acquired by the Related Group and Lndmrk Properties in June 2023.

As per current zoning, the 18,000-square-foot assemblage can carry a 60-story residential tower with 62 units. What makes this site exceptionally valuable is that any future development will enjoy uninterrupted water views, as the only thing standing between the parcel and the bay is Biscayne Beach's four-story pool deck.


41-Story Project, 2600 Biscayne Boulevard - Luxury Rentals and Office

Why we’re watching: Luxury rental and office building 2600 Biscayne broke ground in April 2024. 

Miami’s Urban Review and Design Board approved plans from developer 2600 Biscayne Property LLC and Oak Row Equities for a 41-story tower at 2626 Biscayne Blvd., and in 2023 the FAA approved two cranes to start construction. 

The mixed-use residential tower designed by Arquitectonica’s Bernardo Fort-Brescia has been planned with 399 residences, 109,643 square feet of offices, 6,122 square feet of commercial use, and multiple parking levels on a podium.
