58-Story Villa Residences Announced In Edgewater

·95 Comments

Developers have announced plans for a 58-story tower in Edgewater called Villa Residences.

The project was officially launched on March 31, according to an Instagram post by Louis Birdman, a co-developer.

There will be roughly 60 to 70 units in the tower, with a rooftop helipad and baywalk. A restaurant by Major Food Group is also planned.

ODP Architects is the architect.

One Thousand Group and Terra are the developers, in partnership with Major Food Group.

Finally, a tower that doesn’t turn its back to the city side like all the other built towers in Edgewater.

It had no choice because of the narrow plot of land.

B.S., the telescoping box is about the same size at ground level, but still looks like crap from Biscayne Boulevard and has a parking garage spanning the block longer than the tower itself.

Exactly it seems like all the developer high rises and developers in past decade have turned the back on the city, without thought to the western skyline which we all see every day! Sure the water looks beautiful on a boat or drone, but it’s not what visitors and residents see every day! Excellent point 👏 more luxury designs on western side and fronts of buildings please 🙏

This location has a much better view than 1000 Museum. The size of the apartments will likely be larger. The views will be incredible. This will likely be the most expensive apartments in the US.

This render is beautiful. Hopefully this is the final product. Other developers and architects should take note and include this type of design into Brickell and Downtown.

This is a proper tower! 10/10

1) the parking podium is barely noticeable
2) it doesn’t block too many views for potential development behind the tower
2) they abandoned the 1000 museum copy cat design
3) only 1 unit per floor so the rear of the tower is not just the concrete core
4) looks different than any tower in edgewater or even all of miami
5) and lastly, the top of building actually looks nice, unlike many towers where its not just flat stucco

So with that logic, if something is not a copy cat design of one of the best towers built in the last ten years and has no stucco, it’s a good building?

The one thing Edgewater is missing is a sense of community, meaning more multi-use spaces (convenience stores, salons, cafes, daycares etc..) Achieving a more pedestrian friendly neighborhood. The tower looks amazing.

yes, this one and Missoni will be the best lookers on that Edgewater area. Missoni has that odd blue elevator core thing that is a bit disappointing… but is still the lead design in the space.

And also that Edgewater is just getting started and will blend in quite nicely with Downtown relatively soon.

Kind of agree with this. Edgewater needs to get more of a neighborhood vibe. Maybe take some of those crappy three-story apartment buildings and create more of a park/square with bars and restaurants surrounding it. But that will take a lot of vision and public/private partnerships and not sure that level of ingenuity is here to make it happen. Can Michael Bloomberg become mayor of Miami?

Miami needs a Bloomberg! More public / private partnerships. The private sector has incredible ideas to go vertical; and the public has incredible ideas to connect those buildings in spectacular streetscapes and neighborhoods.

I vote for Scott to put his genius money where his genius ideas are!
Work that out Scotty! I’ll take an Uber to park square and spend $20 for a drink, maybe I’ll buy two.
Then, when I really want to have some scenery, I’ll go to Brickell or Smith & Wollenskys.

But don’t stop believing Scotto! Edgewater could be an excellent place for an ingenious park/square. Miami developers just don’t like money, and they are not as smart as you are.

Edgewater doesn’t have infrastructure for dense city neighborhood. There’s a railroad that divides it. Build out around Brickell and raise the tracks in Edgewater.

…and 29th St. is a passthrough street, also conveniently linking to the south end of Midtown. If you want to live in Edgewater, this is as good a location as you could pick.

Yes, people complain it is hard to cross the tracks, keeping it isolated. Can we elevate the railroad track to an aboveground metro system like downtown and Brickell?

Really boutique bldg
Hopefully they can sell 50 full floors units at 8 to 10MM each

And hopefully they can finish the Baywalk connecting to the Iconbay park and Missoni

City needs to fix the drainage system so this area stops flooding!! looks like Venice during the King Tides

I would buy multiple units if they get rid of the adjacent property like they have in the rendering.

I appreciate they had a wake up call and got rid of the previously plagiarized design, but the chunky chamfered frame at the top is a little odd and forced. Overall this is a big improvement. It will be interesting to see the final finish of the column cladding; doubtful that it ends up a copper material that is implied in the renderings. I would think that metal panels in this south florida environment would a long term maintenance concern…making repeat maintenance mistakes from 1000 instead of learning from them?
