Plans for the highly anticipated three-tower mixed-use development called Biscayne 21 has been submitted to the Urban Development Review Board located at 2121 North Bayshore Drive in Edgewater, Miami.
The project will feature 606 multifamily units spread across three residential towers that are 649 feet tall, 8,433 square feet of ground-floor retail space, 971 parking spots, a complete amenity package, and more than 800 linear feet of a new waterfront promenade. Arquitectonica, EDSA, Longitude Surveyors, and Langan Engineering are just a few of the project’s remarkable roster of architects and engineers.
The property, which is in a superb location with stunning views of Biscayne Bay to the east and the Biscayne Bay Inlet to the south, is located on the southeast corner of North Bayshore Road and Northeast 22nd Street.
The Edgewater skyline will be dominated by two twin skyscrapers that rise 56 stories in height and a third that is 55 stories high. The twin towers (South Tower One & South Tower Two), which are unbranded, will each have 210 residential units, while the structure known as the East Tower, also known as EDITION Residences, will have 186 residential units. The overall square footage of the project is divided into 333,463 square foot parking garage, 430,132 square feet between the two unbranded buildings, and 639,824 square feet For EDITION Residences. The project’s outstanding overall square footage is 1,841,984 square feet.
The buildings at Biscayne 21 will have an exterior that combines a variety of high-quality materials. Glass with clear view, white-painted stucco frames, and other accessories will produce a contemporary and uncluttered appearance. Mechanical screens and painted metal or fiberglass with fake foliage, together with a creative painting, will add a natural touch to the parking structure. Moreover, mechanical screens will wrap around the tops of each tower. The project’s most recent renderings are shown here, along with the project’s cover image.
The East Tower (EDITION) will have a more sinuous and elliptical form, distinguished by a carve into the structure on the north side that creates concave balconies and a sense of architectural grandeur on the skyline, while the twin towers will have a striking rectilinear design, with the superstructure punctuated by cuts lined with concrete frames that reveal elegant balconies.
EDITION will offer condominiums with unit sizes ranging from one to four bedrooms and five-bedroom penthouses covering 1,952 square feet to 8,466 square feet. The two additional buildings have condominiums as well, with one to three-bedroom units measuring 915 to 2,190 square feet each.
Amenities:
Pool deck
Indoor fitness center
Sauna
Lounge and juice bar
Multi-use space
Entertainment room
Meeting room
Bridge connects each tower
Two Roads Development is requesting a number of waivers for the Biscayne 21 project, including a small reduction in tower spacing, two driveways separated by less than 60 feet, a reduction is required parking of up to 30%, parking above the first story to extend into the second layer, and pedestrian entrances more than 75 feet apart. Due to the property’s special configuration with two waterfront frontages and to guarantee compliance with the Transect Zone regulations, the exceptions have been requested.
The proposed project for Biscayne 21 and the waivers requested by Two Roads Development adhere to Miami 21’s guiding principles, which include fostering infill and redevelopment, encouraging mixed-use development, offering public transportation as an alternative to driving, and supporting compact, pedestrian-friendly communities. The project offers public spaces, such as waterfront walkways along the South and East frontages, as well as an energy-efficient design. On March 15, 2023, Two Roads Development will present the project to the Urban Development Review Board.
North Development Launches Condo-Hotel Brand-Domus Brickell Park
North Development is launching a ground-breaking new condo-hotel that is poised to revolutionize the hospitality sector in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, Domus Brickell Park. Ricardo Dunin, CEO of Oak Capital and Edifica are partnering on this project creating the North Development group.
With 171 fully equipped condo-hotel suites Domus will rise 12 stories tall and will be located in the vibrant Brickell neighborhood at 1611 SW 2nd Avenue. The superbly designed studio, one, and two-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 330 to 979 square feet and costs ranging from $400,000 to $900,000, were created by Zyscovich Architects with interiors by Urban Robot.
Owners will pay far less in fees without sacrificing the integrity of the high-end hospitality concept by getting rid of the developer’s ownership of the common areas while still providing professional management for the individual units. The project’s prohibition against yearly occupancy for periods longer than six months and one day gives it another competitive edge. Although still enabling out-of-towners to enjoy their units while in Miami, this minimizes the natural friction between long-term residents and the transient rental market.
Before arriving, guests can check in online and get the entry code for their unit on their phone. By giving the building a chance to get acquainted with the visitors beforehand, this not only provides convenience but also boosts building security. Only owners and visitors can enter the units because the access key is needed to utilize the elevator. There will also be a visitor call center open around-the-clock.
The Peacock Room is located in the expansive lobby at the center of the structure. This area offers a full range of food and drink options throughout the day, including a market, fine wine, specialty brewed beer, and gourmet coffee. It has mellow music, high-speed internet, and co-working spaces that will draw both locals and visitors. Domus Brickell Park has a wellness area with modern fitness equipment, a steam room, and other amenities. Also, there is a rooftop pool deck with cabanas, a hot tub, a grilling area, and an entertainment space.
North Development has a long-term interest in utilizing the Domus brand in other areas, and the building is anticipated to open in late 2025. The sales center is located at 1200 Brickell Avenue, Miami.

Exclusive: Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s Indian Creek Waterfront Mansion Construction Update
After 13 years of marriage, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen announced on Oct. 28 2022 that they officially divorced putting a pause on construction of their 5,000+ square foot teardown located on Indian Creek.
The Billionaire Bunker residence on Indian Creek Island was originally purchased by the couple in 2020, but their divorce was only finalized in late 2022. The estate, which sits atop a plot of land in the “world’s most exclusive municipality,” is arguably the most noteworthy of Tom Brady’s residences. It is one of just 34 properties with waterfront views of Biscayne Bay that are offered across 300 acres in South Florida’s Atlantic region.
The house was one of the nicest in the world, and Tom and Gisele were planning to live there forever with their kids, Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake Brady. Although they are no longer together, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has reportedly continued to develop and refurbish the property, according to The Daily Mail(opens in new tab).
Aerial images recently obtained by the British publication reveal that “production has advanced dramatically” since its initial inspection of the house in September 2022. To begin with, Tom and Gisele demolished a 5,772-square-foot house with the intention of building a contemporary, eco-friendly mansion on the property.
Gisele, a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environmental Program since 2009, knew she had to build an eco-friendly home.
Together with solar panels, an organic garden, a yoga deck, a cabana, and a sizable outdoor kitchen, the new estate will also contain these features.
Gisele Bündchen bought a lavish Florida home that is situated directly across the water from Tom’s mansion as he continues to develop. She also covertly paid $1.3 million for a cottage in Florida, which she began to remodel last year. Billionaires Bunker is close to her new residence (likely convenient for co-parenting with her former husband).
Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and billionaire businessman Carl Icahn are some of the other noteworthy residents. Whenever building is finished, Tom Brady will live next to Icahn.
National Developer PMG Announces West Eleventh Residences in Miami
In Miami’s Park West neighborhood, Property Markets Group unveiled plans for a condominium tower with short-term rental options.
West Eleventh Residences will offer short-term rental flexibility and a first-time opportunity for owners to enjoy fully centralized management with the ability to host guests 365 days a year on Airbnb.
At 18 N.W. 11th St., which is currently owned by Miami-based Block 17 Land Trust, West Eleventh Residences would rise 44 floors. For the project, PMG has joined forces with the Marc Roberts Cos. and the Miami-based Lion Development Group, directed by Michael Simkins. On the bottom floor, there would be a 30,000-square-foot entertainment facility and food hall in addition to 659 completely equipped condos.
Although Miami’s short-term condo rentals were just introduced a few years ago, they are now a significant part of the city’s most recent condo development boom. They give condo owners the option to occupy them themselves or rent them out for however many days are necessary, allowing them to potentially profit from higher daily rental rates.
The E11even Hotel & Residences, another condominium for short-term rentals, and the E11even Residences Beyond are being constructed by PMG, Simkins, and Roberts directly west of the West Eleventh Residences.
“The demand for short-term rental properties with on-site support for seamless hosting is high in South Florida, especially in downtown Miami,” said Ryan Shear, managing partner at PMG. “Not only will West Eleventh Residences offer flexible living options and luxury condo ownership for buyers, but it will also provide impeccable residences and superb amenities for Airbnb guests and owners to enjoy.”
Condos at West Eleventh Residences will range in size from 334 square feet for studios. The units would contain smart home technology for lighting, audio, video, and other features. Costs start at roughly $300,000. The real sales push will begin on February 20.
The project was designed by Sieger Suarez Architects.The structure would have a restaurant, a lounge, a fitness center, and a pool.
Simkins asserted that “our collaboration with PMG and Marc Roberts Cos. on West Eleventh Residences will once again underscore the area’s potential, solidifying Downtown Miami’s District 11 into a true live-work-play community for all.”
