Driven by strong market demand for luxury condos, more developers are adding to the spectacular lineup of new construction in Edgewater, Miami.

And it’s obvious why – its beautiful 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 has cemented itself as a top choice for luxury high-rise living in Miami. 

So here’s a look at all of the new condo projects in development for this lovely Bayside enclave.

What we’re watching: We’ll be keeping an eye out for a UDRB and other approvals on the two residential towers proposed to complete the three-tower complex replacing Biscayne 21. Pre-sales are already underway for the first tower - the Edition Residences.

Developer Two Roads plans to add two 56-story towers, each rising 649 feet above sea level, to the south side of the parcel. With the addition of the two towers, the waterfront site will deliver a total of 705 new condos in Edgewater, Miami. Both towers will be designed by Arquitectonica (like the Edition Residences).

649-Foot Tower by Oko Group affiliate, 717 NE 27th St

What we’re watching: Whether the FAA-approved tower planning to replace Missoni Baia’s sales center will rise as a rental or condo new construction in Edgewater, Miami.

With the bayfront Missoni Baia condo tower completed in May 2023, an OKO Group affiliate, known as 720 NE Street PropCo, LLC, has submitted plans to build a 649-foot tower on the waterfront parcel. The site is currently co-owned by OKO Group and Cain International.

Related Group & Lndmrk Properties’ $12M Assemblage, 519 to 535 N.E. 29th St

What we’re watching: We’ll be keeping an eye out for announcements and approvals on this three-parcel assemblage 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.

Vacant Development Site for Sale, 702 NE 26th St.

What we’re watching: Favorably zoned to carry a high-density condo or hotel project, we’re excited to see what comes up at this modest parcel right next door to the Onyx condos.

Asking $6.6 million, the prime .229-acre lot was brought to market in August 2023. Zoned T6-36a-L, the bayside parcel can hold a variety of high-density developments, including an ultra-luxury condo or hotel project.

Price Choice Supermarket Assemblage Sold, 1801 N.E. Second Avenue

What we’re watching: Since zoning allows the development of mixed-use buildings with up to 710 residential units, we’ll be keeping an eye on what comes up at this prime parcel – a short walk from the waterfront Margaret Pace Park. 

Rotem Rosen and Indian billionaire Anand Mahindra’s MRR Development finally closed the deal on this 1.4-acre parcel after four whole years. Sitting in an Opportunity Zone, we are highly intrigued to see what will replace the one-story Price Choice Supermarket, the Montessori preschool Learning Nest, and the vacant lot are part of the assemblage.

Proposed Mixed-use Condo Tower, 234-264 N.E. 34th St

What we’re watching: Karl-Ulrich Ansorg, Yakov Elbaz, Ofir Gabriel and Amit Kort’s first South Florida project.

Acting via Tulip Developments Group, developers Karl-Ulrich Ansorg, Yakov Elbaz, Ofir Gabriel and Amit Kort partnered to purchase a six-lot assemblage worth $16.5 million for their proposed mixed-use condo tower in October 2022. The group of developers plans to build a 44-story mixed-use tower, inclusive of 172 condos, 100,000 square feet of offices, 10,000 square feet of retail, and a 420-spot garage. It is expected that one-quarter of the units will be 2-bedroom residences, while the remaining three-quarters will feature 3-bedroom floorplans.

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 in 2022. But there’s been little news since then. 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.

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 the site of the Berkowitz Museum project. 

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

What we’re watching: In 2021, developer Melo Group had submitted plat documents to the city’s review committee in January 2021 for URBAN 22, possibly an apartment building on this 1.8-acre development planned between NE 22nd Street and NE 23rd Street in Edgewater. 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 in 2021. 

Designed by Miami’s widely appreciated Kobi Karp Architecture, this 36-story tower was approved for 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.

Bay Park Condo Bulk Buyout, 3301 NE 5th Avenue

What we’re watching: Last heard, multifamily AMLI firm had secured about half the units at this waterfront condo tower in September 2021. However, in January 2023, residents filed an appeal to the buyout. 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 had 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. 

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.
