1600 Edgewater: New 33-Story Apartment Tower Moves Forward

The future is unfolding at 1600 NE 2nd Avenue in Miami. Previously home to Battle Racing, the site has been cleared, and construction is advancing on a 33-story tower known as 1600 Edgewater. Despite the name, the site actually sits on the boundary between Edgewater and the Arts & Entertainment District, technically leaning into the A&E District side—Edgewater begins just across the street.

From Demolition to Rising Tower

Replacing the former structure, the tower designed by Kobi Karp Architecture will rise 381 feet, featuring 282 residential units. This mix includes 262 market-rate apartments and 20 affordable units.

Neighborhood Integration & Retail Activation

Although branded “Edgewater,” the project is set to enhance the A&E District’s urban fabric. With 6,615 square feet of commercial space—including a ground-floor retail component and rooftop area—the development aims to invigorate pedestrian life. A structured garage will provide 328 parking spaces.

Progress and What’s Next

Demolition is complete, site clearing is ongoing in preparation for construction. Keep an eye out as this new addition reshapes the skyline, blurring the line between two of Miami’s most dynamic neighborhoods.

Plans Unveiled for 33-Story 1600 Edgewater Tower in Miami

Exciting new plans have been revealed for a 33-story residential tower in Edgewater, Miami. The project, named 1600 Edgewater, has been officially submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) for approval, marking a significant step in the city’s ongoing skyline transformation.

Designed by the renowned architectural firm Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, the tower is set to become a defining addition to Edgewater’s evolving landscape.

Planned for the former Miami Cash Register site, 1600 Edgewater is poised to rise 381 feet and will feature a mix of residential, commercial, and parking spaces, including:

• 282 residential units (262 market-rate, 20 affordable housing)
• 6,615 square feet of commercial space (5,539 SF at the ground level, 1,077 SF on the rooftop)
• 328 parking spaces housed in an 8-story garage

The project is being developed by 1600 NE 2nd Avenue, LLC, an entity reportedly linked to Sabet Group. The development has already taken major steps forward, having entered construction permitting, submitted for FAA height approval, and completed a utilities agreement.

The Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) hearing for 1600 Edgewater is set for March 19, where city officials will review the project’s plans and impact on the community. Given Edgewater’s rapid growth and increasing demand for high-quality residences, this tower is expected to contribute to the neighborhood’s ongoing transformation.
