Revealed: 55-Story Residential Tower Planned In Edgewater

Plans have been submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board for a 55-story multifamily tower in Edgewater.

An older condo building is currently on the site, bought by the developers proposing the new tower. A demolition permit is pending for the older building.

The new tower is proposed to rise 55 stories, or 641 feet above ground and 650 feet above sea level and include:

  • 463 dwelling units
  • 3 levels of amenities, including a rooftop pool and sky lounge
  • 172 parking spaces in an enclosed garage, which will be screened with an aluminum screen of a design to be approved by the Planning Director

Fogarty Finger of New York is the architect.

SB Development and Hazelton Capital Group, both of New York, are the developers.

Seven Miami 21 zoning waivers are being requested.

The UDRB hearing is scheduled for October 18.

Edgewater continues to explode. It’s proximity to the Design District, Miami Beach, and Wynwood/Midtown is a winning combo!

It lacks any character, floods and was not designed to have city infrastructure. Great for people looking to live outside the city

Yeah, because Brickell never floods.

Brickell doesn’t flood. Only say it flood during a hurricane when half of downtown and edgwater were submersed.

It floods every afternoon when it rains. Get out of your apartment for a minute. The area by Mary Brickell is typically a lake, let alone other spots

Greater Little Havana and Shenandoah have far more unprotected historic structures than Edgewater did, but yeah. We lost a lot of treasures because parking garages for Related’s bayfront cereal boxes. Let it be a lesson, and redevelop prewar neighborhoods with historic preservation, transferable development rights, and infill in mind.

Ever since we moved into the neighborhood, we’ve been waiting for this dilapidated condo to be re-developed. I can’t think of anything more perfect for this space than what is being proposed. Get it built!

We require an immediate study to incorporate a metro system and expand road infrastructure before granting approval for any new construction in this low-rise, locally-owned area outside the urban core. Many residents settled here due to affordability, with the anticipation that it would become an integral part of Miami’s development in the future. However, it is crucial to establish the necessary infrastructure prior to intensifying development.

The building is not to scale. The lot is quite small. The density being proposed is waaaaay past what this lot can accommodate. While certain elements of the structure are architecturally interesting, it’s proportionally out of whack to its environment. I’m not against development. I’m against development without any sense of balance to green space, its own surroundings, community impact, etc.

That’s what I said too. That lot extremely small for the size of building and density. This proposal while it looks great it’s flat out insane for the size of that lot.

Everyone in these comments who are saying “amazing” “stunning” “beautiful” and “great add” to the location don’t know a single thing about this area and how much of a hazard this will be for people living in the area. Building a 55 story tower in such a tiny lot will cause major traffic issues, safety concerns and obstruction of views for people living only a few feet away in Cite Condominiums.

Colossal building in a small lot, I guess no space for retail. Once Melos 17 plaza and the empty lot behind Quantum is filled in this area will be extremely packed.

Lesson #1 in real estate development, get your boots on the ground and walk the property. This will not get built on this tiny lot.

Well. This is a monster:

Too close to La Cite’. Costruction will be only 50 feets away from balconies and main entrance.

This building is disproportionally tall in comparison with the ground space available.

Risk of accidents during construction will be multiplied by the closeness to La Cite’ main entrance.

Protection of living conditions in adjacent neighborhoods, especially preserving the privacy, solar access, and character of adjacent residences is obviously not guaranteed.

Very few parking spots in comparison with the number of apartments planned (it will be a traffic nightmare)

Street traffic is already heavy and parking tight. Adding a building with potentially 400 more cars than currently on the street will unreasonably worsen traffic. Demand for parking by visitors (guests and vendors) to at least 400 more residents will make the traffic and situation unbearable.

This monstrosity will be the symbol of the proverbial lack of urban planning intelligence at the City of Miami.

The City is not required to approve an application simply because it meets technical requirements when it is demonstrated that its fulfillment will unreasonably diminish the quality of life in the neighborhood. Any development should enhance current residents’ lives, not merely the developer’s profits.

Looks good but that lot is super small. It can barely hold a 6 story building. Not sure this was fully thought through, but what do I know.

Is that so? Living in a high-rise, relying on daily room service without a car might become your reality. It’s puzzling why they’d construct a building without parking in one of Miami’s most car-centric areas. Meanwhile, in Brickell, there’s ample parking even though people tend to walk everywhere.

If UNA tower can build an underground parking podium, so should this tower. This is getting ridiculous. You can’t have 100ft tall blank concrete walls everywhere in Miami.

Imagine walking down a street where its only podiums with zero architecture. From a street level perspective, its going to ruin all the aesthetics of the city.

Also, make parking garage screening standards more stringent. CitiznenM and SLS Brickell-tier murals shouldn’t cut it.

There is code actually…its under “Miami21”. Look up T6 parking regulations.

But the developers get these code requirements waived most of the times which allows the developers to save a ton of money

Rather banal design. I dont think that Arquitectonica is of any value but they do know the local scene.
This design is just foreign and rather week. This probably will not go vertical.
