Foundation Permit Applied For At Biscayne Boulevard Property Where 872 Apartments Planned

A foundation permit application has just been submitted to Miami’s Building Department for the Edgewater Collective development at 1900 Biscayne.

The project is planned to include two towers rising 42 stories, with a combined 872 units.

Records show the site work permit was applied for on June 5, with Balfour Beatty listed as the contractor.

A separate permit for full vertical construction of the towers was applied for in July 2022, and is in process.

In April, a DERM inspector recommended approval of six wells at 1900 Biscayne, to be used for construction, records show.

The vertical permit shows that there are 872 units being built at 1900 Biscayne.

Across the street, the same developer just topped off a tower at 2000 Biscayne with 420 apartments in a 36-story tower.

Kushner Companies is the developer.

Eager to see what happens at street level, the neighborhood needs some restaurants and interesting retail.

Surely having a two-phased construction plan would have dissuaded some buyers from purchasing in the 1st tower which just topped off? Not sure many people would like all that noise and construction on their doorstep for 2-3 years after they move in. Seems like should have been built together at the same time to take advantage of resources, etc.

I think these are rentals, unfortunately.

Wouldn’t rent either knowing there is construction eminent or already in progress. Loss for unit owner ultimately.

What do you mean by unit owner? As the comment above just stated, these are rentals, not condos.

The apartment developer here isn’t new, and isn’t stupid.
You may not personally rent there, but clearly, the developer knows that other people will, and that is why they are developing apartments here.

This is such a boring, basic design. It looks like a piece of furniture that grandma had in her 1950s era house.

Edgewater Collective—sounds like Communism. Is there a guy with a scraggly beard and military fatigues attending the front desk?

What do you expect when every development name is made up by a kid on an exercise ball in Brooklyn working for a branding agency?

Look: not everything has to be a World Heritage Site. If these units will sell or rent they’re good enough for me. At least there’s retail at ground level.

So many things wrong with this development. 1) This isn’t brickell, it doesn’t look right to have tall towers like these, that close to each other, looks like a state prison. They should have been shorter 2) the parking podiums are hideous, They could have easily cover them with units 3) all three towers look identical with zero contrast within them. 4) this is a greedy move by the developer. And i bet these rentals won’t even be cheap.

Who is approving these designs??

Edgewater will eventually have the density of Brickell so I don’t get your first complaint. Do you remember what Brickell looked like 20 years ago? Hint: much like today’s Edgewater.

Easy tiger.
I remember Brickell 20 years ago, and worked there. The Four Seasons tower was just completed in 2003.

Edgewater does not have a 70-story/781 feet building or anything close to a Four Seasons.

If what you meant was, Edgewater will eventually have the density that Brickell had 20 years, then I say, “yeah….some day”
