If you’ve taken a walk around Edgewater lately, or followed the news, you’ll know that our favorite bayfront neighborhood in Miami has become a hotbed of construction activity. Powered by strong market demand for luxury condos, more developers have placed their bets on Edgewater. And it’s obvious why – its bayfront location centered around an 8-acre park and marina, a family-friendly environment, centrality to every major neighborhood in the city like Wynwood, the Design District, and Downtown, plus a short scenic drive to South Beach – all make Edgewater highly desirable. 

Once barely a neighborhood anyone would talk about fifteen years ago, Edgewater is on its way to becoming the top choice for luxury high-rise living in Miami. 

So here’s a look at all of the condo projects in development for this lovely Bayside enclave. Projects that we expect that will transform Edgewater into one of Miami’s most desirable places to live.

Missoni Baia, 700 NE 26th Terrace

When: Opening in 2022.

What: Italian luxury fashion house, Missoni’s first residential project in the world – developed by OKO Group & Cain International.

One of Edgewater’s tallest buildings (besides Elysee), Missoni Baia topped off last year at 649 feet and is expected to welcome its first residents by the end of the year. This minimalist, bayfront tower was designed by Asymptote Architecture. It features clean yet playful interiors in Missoni’s signature colors, patterns, and textures curated by New York’s Paris Forino Interior Design.

At 57 stories tall with 249 luxury residences, every residence opens to direct bay views from its 10-foot-deep balcony. A chef-ready kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, Blue de Savoie marble counters, and Calacatta Ice marble counters in the master bathrooms are just some of the refined touches you will find at this luxury tower. The complex also houses several waterfront townhomes with double-height floor-to-ceiling windows and exquisite outdoor spaces overlooking the Bay.

Offering a total of 782 oversized luxury residences, living at Aria Reserve, residents will have an unbeatable combination of direct water views, 11-foot-deep terraces, East-to-West flow-through floorplans, and a dedicated office/bonus room in all residences. The 62-story towers will feature couture-inspired interiors by MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique, and all of this is available at some of the best price points for the luxury condos in all of Miami.

Other Possible Condo Projects for Edgewater, Miami

40-Story Project, 2626 Biscayne Boulevard

What we’re watching: Miami’s Urban Review and Design Board approved plans from developer 2600 Biscayne Property LLC for a 40-story tower at 2626 Biscayne Blvd. The mixed-use residential tower designed by Arquitectonica’s Bernardo Fort-Brescia will have 399 residences, 109,643 square feet of offices, 6,122 square feet of commercial use, and multiple parking levels on a podium.

The property is currently slated for luxury rentals, however, we will watch the progress as several rental properties have recently converted to condos. This was previously to be site of the Berkowitz museum project.

Cardinal Plaza, between NE 22nd Street & NE 23rd Street in Edgewater

What we’re watching: We’ll be keeping an eye out for approvals coming through on this 1.8-acre development planned between NE 22nd Street and NE 23rd Street in Edgewater. 

Last heard, developer Melo Group had submitted plat documents to the city’s review committee in January 2021. The proposed Cardinal Plaza is also expected to feature an unspecified amount of commercial and retail space.

Grupo T&C + Kobi Karp’s 36-story Tower, 1825 and 1837 N.E. Fourth Avenue

What we’re watching: We’re waiting to see whether this LEED-certified project will rise as a condo or rental tower. It was approved by the Urban Development Review Board this March.

Designed by Miami’s widely appreciated Kobi Karp Architecture, this 36-story tower is approved to now feature 322 residential units, 6,183 square feet of ground-level retail, and 372 parking spaces in an 8-story podium. Developed by Peru’s Grupo T&C under the affiliate Meridian TC Real Estate Group LLC, the LEED-certified project will sit right behind Quantum on the Bay and 1800 Club.

The pandemic-ready luxury high-rise is planned to feature a temperature reader in its lobby, touchless doors at the entrance, eye and voice recognition systems in its touchless elevators, and eye-recognition tech to open the door for each resident of the unit. Other expected amenities include a rooftop pool deck, a 9th-floor amenity center with gym and lounge, an outdoor dining area, and a garden.

Bay Park Condo Bulk Buyout, 3301 NE 5th Avenue

What we’re watching: Last heard, a California-based firm had secured about half the units at this waterfront condo tower in September 2021. It is zoned to allow a 36-story residential development with 150 units per acre.

Built in the 1960s, the 14-story, 254-unit Bay Park Towers sit on a prime piece of waterfront in Edgewater, right next to the Julia Tuttle Causeway that leads to South Beach. The California-based firm has priced the deal at $150 million, hoping to get at least 95% of unit owners on board.

Denny’s Restaurant Sale, 3600 Biscayne Boulevard

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

Although we’re sad to see Denny’s go, we’re equally excited to see what will be planned for this prime parcel. Developer Aria Mehrabi bought the restaurant and a nearby parking lot at 221 Northeast 36th Street for a total of $24 million in January this year. The 1.2-acre property is zoned to allow the development of a 24-story tower with scope for the addition of more units as a density bonus.

1775 Biscayne For Sale, 1775 Biscayne Boulevard

What we’re watching: Although the property was listed just this March, we’re hopeful that something amazing will be planned for this Edgewater site, considering the previous owner proposed a 53-story tower with 444 residential units & 200 hotel rooms. 

With ground testing activity taking place, the parcel was previously submitted to the UDRB in 2017 proposing a 53-story tower with 200 hotel rooms, 444 residential units, 45,600 square feet of retail/restaurant, 64,800 square feet of office, and 546 car/39 bicycle parking spaces.

New “Omni Innovation District,” 1601 Biscayne Boulevard

What we’re watching: Considering the property sits between Margaret Pace Park and Venetian Causeway, and this is a condo-dense area, we’re expecting nothing short of a luxury development to make its way here.

The Omni Innovation District is set to replace the shuttered Omni International Mall at 1601 Biscayne Blvd. The site was once owned by Resorts Worlds’ parent company, Genting. More details are expected soon.

Paris-based Groupe City’s Residential Tower, 423 Northeast 27th Street

What we’re watching: We’re waiting to see whether this Paris-based developer’s first U.S. residential project “with a French touch” will come up as a condo or rental apartment.

Planning its first U.S. project in Edgewater, the newly established American arm of Paris-based Groupe City, the PR Group acquired an assemblage worth $14.8 million this May. The group paid $13.1 million for the deal inclusive of a low-rise apartment complex and three houses at 423 Northeast 27th Street. They also paid $1.7 million for an adjacent duplex at 434 Northeast 28th Street. The assemblage plus the duplex property total 31,929 square feet.

Belmar Condo Bulk Buyout, 419 Northeast 19th Street

What we’re watching: Another great bayside parcel snagged by New York-based partners SB Development and Hazelton Capital Group; we’re expecting 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 this August. The 5-story condo building sits right opposite the waterfront Margaret Pace Park, which is one of the highlights of living in Edgewater. The bulk buyout deal breaks down to around $900,000 per condo. The partners have already terminated the condo association.

Price Choice Supermarket Assemblage Sold, 1851 N.E. Second Avenue

What we’re watching: Since zoning allows the development of mixed-use buildings up to 36 stories high, we’ll be keeping an eye on what comes up at this prime parcel – a short walk from the waterfront Margaret Pace Park.

Purchased by an Israeli developer for $30 million, the 1.41-acre parcel at 1851 N.E. Second Ave. is zoned to allow construction of a 501-foot-tall mixed-use. We are highly intrigued to see what will replace the one-story Price Choice Supermarket, the Montessori preschool Learning Nest, and vacant lot part of the assemblage.
