60-Story Edgewater Apartment Tower Submitted To Planners

NYSE-listed Aimco has submitted plans to build a 650-foot apartment tower in Edgewater to Miami-Dade planners for review.

The project will be built on Biscayne Bay, across the street to the south from Aimco’s Hamilton on the Bay. Aimco wants to close the street off to build a waterfront pedestrian plaza with with landscape and hardscape improvements.

According to the newly submitted plans, the new 60-story tower will include:

  • 241 residential units
  • 4,696 square feet of restaurant
  • 380 parking spaces in an 8-story garage, partially lined with residential (30% reduction waiver, 20% EV capable)

Even after the new tower is built, Aimco will still have rights to build an additional 1,135,141 square feet and 225 more residential units, the application notes.

Stantec is the architect.

The project is pending final site plan review by the City of Miami, and the developers are now requesting a hearing from Miami-Dade’s Shoreline Development Review Committee.

Agreed. Stantec did a great job with it, considering a lot of their work is Arquitectonica-tier trash.

I agree. Why it takes so long to do it? Where is the problem? Who is responsible?

In the United States, people have private property rights.

Owners of the old waterfront buildings cannot be forced to surrender their property to the govt. However, the govt can dangle a carrot that upzones an area, with the caveat that any major modification to a propert MUST provide for a 50ft setback and waterfront access for the public.

When the properties get valuable enough, or owners get motivated enough, they will sell. “Greedy developers” come in and make the world a better place.

Fundamentally flawed analysis. Have you heard of eminent domain? I’m not advocating for it in this case but your statement that gov’t can’t force private property owners to surrender their property is flat out false.

Exactly. And if it’s already being required for the developer to build it during redevelopment/new construction, I don’t think anyone involved would complain if the city does it for them in advance.

LOL if you don’t think the government is already corrupt, eminent domain is a corruption magnet.

Really refreshing to see cladding with ACTUAL STONE instead of cheap painted stucco, stucco, stucco like we constantly see.

Not to mention ugly sheet metal and murals, like that one on Paraiso Bay’s parking garage that looks like something on the wall of an elementary school.

Wish they would include more mixed urban use such as grocery stores, small businesses etc. That would help traffic. Pedestrian friendly type city

Love the design of this building. Forget all that quirky gyrating and swooping balconies look, clean looking towers like this is what’s needed in Miami.

Quality materials and windows treatments, too. Classic and modern at the same time.

Start piling work already, get those permits fast tracked. The ground level interacts with the street beautifully.

Yes! I heard that the Four Seasons is opening a new Edgewater location right next to that half-way house where the convicts stop off before going back to prison.

I wish they would specify when they mean EV capable. Do they mean just running conduit? do they mean running electrical but no head unit for the actually J1772 unit? is there electrical for class one or two? any CCS? I know I am being nitpicky.

Aimco is a public traded company. They’re not in the game of flipping property.

Thats a great way to lose your REIT status.

Investment Term: Because Congress created REITs as a vehicle for making long-term improvements to our nation’s real estate, REITs cannot have any income from the sale of inventory. The tax benefits given to REITs cannot be attained by flipping properties. All REIT sales transactions are subject to prohibited transaction analysis. There is a prohibited transaction safe harbor if a REIT sells fewer than 7 properties in a year and holds each property for more than 2 years. All potential sales transactions should be reviewed in order to consider potential issues. If a transaction is determined to be prohibited, then there is a 100% tax on the gain.

Doubt they will get the 10% reduction on the sidesetbacks . Baypark tower will opposed this.
Weird that they think buyers won’t ask how the Douth facing units won’t be blocked by whatever happens in Baypark Tower lot.

It has. There are a few buildings on the baywalk whose pools are ground level. Doesn’t give residents much privacy.
