Plans Revealed For 43-Story One Edgewater, With Robotic Garage

Plans have just been filed with Miami planners for a new residential tower called One Edgewater.

The application was made by an Aimco affiliate, along with another LLC.

Aimco also completed renovations last year at The Hamilton (276 units) and recently entered construction permitting for a 60-story tower next door called Hamilton House (241 units).

The new One Edgewater is planned to rise 43 stories, or 500 feet, and include:

  • 204 apartments
  • 1,614 square feet of commercial space
  • co-working and amenity space
  • 301 parking spaces in a fully robotic garage

A letter from a lobbyist asks for parking stall width and drive aisle width waivers, stating:

“The Property will be served by the existing parking garage at the [Hamilton] with 468 spaces, the proposed garage at the [60-story Hamilton House]  with 380 parking spaces), and a new fully automated parking garage at the [One Edgewater] Parcel with room for 301 cars. Together, the plan will provide more parking than Miami 21 requires.”

“All parking at the [One Edgewater] Project will be automated with the exception of ground floor parking which will be valet-operated. Above the ground floor, robotic platforms operating on digital tracks will move cars stored there. Neither drivers nor valet attendants will be allowed to access parking levels above the ground floor.”

Miami’s Urban Development Review Board is scheduled to have a hearing on the One Edgewater proposal on February 15.

Miami’s commission is scheduled to have a hearing on a proposal to close off Northeast 34th Street to build a pedestrian plaza on February 23.

Stantec is the architect.

I heard Brickell House had an issue with the robotic garage and tenants had to park in another lot for awhile, maybe still do? I don’t think the parts are easy to replace. It’s something to consider…

Great density, but we really need to start thinking for the future as far as public transit is concerned. The traffic is already horrendous in Biscayne blvd and all these new towers will not help. Something as simple as a Tram or light rail in the middle of Biscayne blvd would be ideal and perhaps connect it to midtown and wynwood.

Biscayne is only two lanes each direction plus a turn lane. Dedicated-lane surface rail will reduce that. In transit/auto shared lanes, streetcars are just buses with less maneuverability. We need grade separation with Metromover.

Lol no, do you realize how much that’ll cost?? Just add some bus lanes. The 3 is already hella frequent.

From the county itself!!

“Even in cities like New York, where a majority of the population is within a half-mile of a subway station, enormous numbers of people travel
by bus. Bus service is much less expensive to operate than rail, bus vehicles are cheaper and easier to procure than rail vehicles, and bus service does not require lengthy and costly construction projects. For moving large numbers of people across a large urban area at a reasonable cost, rail cannot compete with buses.“

Just because you change the font doesn’t make your statement any less true. Unfortunately, unlike Europe or South America, where I’ve traveled extensively, in the US bus ridership is VERY much linked to one’s social status.

ParkingHater

in cities with terrible transit networks? Maybe. It’s almost as if that demographic relies on it regardless of its quality because car ownership is a massive burden, often costing more than the mobility gained. (Cough cough MARTA)

Any city with actual service has people of all walks using buses, just like rail. DMV, New York, SF. even here, go to the gables and ride the trolley during the morning commute.

One of the main reasons for light rail is that it’s far cheaper than busses in the long run. The maintenance on tires, bus wheels, and repaving roads actually quickly overtakes the initial cost of installing rail.

Don’t know if this is true. Mass transit systems are hardly self-sustainable with need for subsidizing, and extremely disruptive during construction with high first costs. Not saying it will not be better than buses, but your statement is misleading.

The solution is making parking waivers more aggressive and improving the existing bus line (carrots and sticks). then when it hits over 10k daily maybe think about rail.

How is that any different than a tram? It’s just rubber tires instead of rails. Please don’t look at US for solutions for public transit. Looks at euro counterparts

Nice looking, but similar parking systems have been installed and failed. I believe recently a system in Brickell suffered through a bad automated system and have since abandoned it?

It’s been an ongoing issue for at least six years at Brickell House. However, I walked by about two weeks ago and it appeared that some kind of work was being performed to the garage system by a crew.

It’s not bad right now at all (I’m usually on 95 within 5-10 min of leaving my building), but as more buildings come, we will desperately need that MetroMover extension!

There’s a lot of light traffic parts of Brickell being developed and could take in more new projects.

N. Bayshore Dr. I leave by 8:15. It’s usually much better at that time than closer to 9.

Until the county transit corridor zoning preemption starts including frequent bus lines I’ve given up writing to my commission about it… I’ll still complain here tho.

We need some cali style 1/2 mile preemption around any transit INCLUDING bus stops >15minutes

If you hear the word Robotic Parking Garage, run in the other direction and don’t look back lest you turn into stone. 3 failed projects in Miami, one in Miami Beach, one in Brickell and one in Edgewater (Elysee). Years later they still can’t get them to work. There should be a ban on these until they can get them right which is many years away including the attitude and knowledge of residents who had to do the right thing and push the right buttons which most never do.

That’s because people are still moving here. In other words, demand is rising faster than supply. The answer is to increase supply to meet the demand.

Michael just wants more parks (for free) and the government to step in and force landlords to artificially reduce their rents (despite their costs rising).
