729 Edge Tower in Edgewater Receives Plan Approval

When we first announced plans for the 729 Edge development in October 2021, we had only received information about the Miami Review Board meeting for the proposal for this tower. Months later, we are happy to announce that plans have been approved for the 58 story tower located in Edgewater.

The plans are moving right along and recently the developers have assembled the land for $29.08 million which includes three lots. One lot was located at 710 NE 29th Street which was purchased for $17.5 million. The 2nd parcel was purchased for $6 million located at 530 NE 29th Street. The last parcel located at 483, 485m, and 501 NW 29th Street was purchased for $5.58 million.

Located along Biscayne Bay spanning over 0.88 acres, the tower is not only being developed by part of the same team that was responsible for One Thousand Museum but it will also be very similar in design.

The project will be designed by Hollywood-based ODP Architecture & Design who also assisted the late Zaha Hadid on One Thousand Museum.

The project itself would expand 342,848 square feet rising 58 stories tall. There would be a proposed 70 luxury units with three to five-bedroom options. The breakdown of the units would be one to two units per floor. Full floor units would expand a total of 6,174 square feet. 729 Edge would also feature 2 penthouses-styled townhomes spanning two floors.

There would also be 13,037 square feet of commercial space between two buildings with a restaurant on the lower level of the condo tower.

The units will have three to five bedrooms with one or two units on each floor. Pricing has not been announced.

Amenities will be similar to those of One Thousand Museum.

Tower Amenities:

• Private dock
• Lounge/bar
• Business center
• Private dining room
• Theater room
• Storage space for owners
• Fitness room
• Salon/spa
• Indoor pool
• Juice bar
• Sky lobby on the top floor

The developers include 710 Edge LLC, owned by Kevin Venger, Michael Konig, Louis Birdman, and Alex Posth.

The Regent Cocktail Club Reopens After 2 Years

It has been a rough couple of years for businesses due to COVID and the rising costs of goods/services. Within the past 2 years, a lot of businesses had to close, including one of South Beach’s favorite spots, The Regent. Recently, the Havana-inspired bar and lounge reopened with a new cocktail menu that will quench your thirsts.

Located inside the Gale South Beach, the bar and lounge originally opened in 2012. The bar was named in the Top Ten Hotel Bars in the World in 2017. In March 2020, The Regent closed its doors shortly after a renovation in 2019.

Before it was The Regent, it was called the Rec Room and was more of a night club themed spaced. Due to the renovation, the bar is now 3x the size of the once nightclub. The bar can also hold up to 200 guests.

Although The Regent is located in the Gale South Beach, you can still enter through a separate door behind the hostess stand of the Dolce restaurant. Once you make your way through the stairwell illuminated by neon signs, you will enter the bar area with a 10+ seat bar, comfy chairs, and leather banquettes.

The bar pays homage to classic 1920’s speakeasy with low lighting, leather fixtures, and privacy. In the early hours, hear low levels of jazz but the bass will rise later once the DJ starts spinning.

While you’re there, grab a Champiña or Peach One from the signature menu. If you get hungry, there is a limited food menu with cheese plates, chicken empanadas, and chips and guacamole.

The Regent is open Thursday through Saturday from 7 pm to 2 am.
