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

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.

Avra Estiatorio Opens Second South Florida Location at Lofty Brickell
Avra Estiatorio, a Greek eatery with a Manhattan origin, will open a second location in South Florida at the newest residential tower, Lofty Brickell.
Restaurateurs Nick Tsoulos, Nick Pashalis, and Marc Packer, the partners behind the upscale brand, have secured a lease for the bottom level of Brickell’s Lofty condo complex by Newgard Development Group.
The 15,000 square foot, 15-year contract, which has the possibility to be extended, can seat up to 300 patrons and a 3,000 square foot outdoor seating space with views of the Miami River. The triple net asking rent was $150 per square foot.
Once Lofty Brickell is complete, Ava Estiatorio will open. Only 1,500 square feet of retail space remain at the Lofty property after the Avra lease.
The first Avra Estiatorio restaurant debuted in New York’s East 48th Street in 2000. Now, the restaurant has three locations: two in Manhattan and one each in Beverly Hills.
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.
38 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.”

37 Story Tower Designed by Arquitectonica and Developed by 13th Floor Investments in Now Complete
Cascade, a 37-story multi-family building at 3050 Southwest 37th Avenue in Miami, is now complete. The building, designed by Arquitectonica and developed by a joint venture partnership between Miami-based real estate developers 13th Floor Investments and Adler Group, in collaboration with global investment manager Barings, contains 421 modern apartment homes ranging in size from 510 to 1,323 square feet.
The residential tower is the second to be completed within the 7-acre Link at Douglas master plan, which is bounded to the north by Peacock Avenue, to the east by Southwest 37th Avenue (Douglas Road), to the south by Shipping Avenue and South Dixie Highway, and to the west by Southwest 37th Court. The building’s general contractor was Civic Construction, and it received its Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) from Miami-Dade County on January 5.
The 37-story tower is located at the intersection of two of Miami’s most desirable neighborhoods, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables, and is adjacent to the Douglas Road Metrorail Station, US-1, the city’s main thoroughfare, and The Underline, a 10-mile linear park, urban trail, and public art destination. Residents have direct access to the Metrorail system, bus lines, and the Miami and Coral Gables Trolleys, making commuting to Brickell, Downtown Miami, and the Health District a breeze.
The property’s interiors, designed by DesignAgency, feature teak wood and textured wall designs that contrast with matte black accents, creating effortless elegance without exclusivity. Earth tones can be found throughout, from the lobby lounge’s relaxed greenery and natural wood details to a lush garden display outlining the expansive amenity deck, providing serenity in each space.
Stone-wrapped kitchen islands, floor-to-ceiling windows, and in-unit washers and dryers are features of the residential units. Tall matte lacquer soft close cabinets, full tile backsplash, modern ENERGY STAR® appliances, porcelain tiled showers, front-lit vanity mirrors, and wood-look flooring are among the superior features and finishes. Select residences have inboard private balconies.
Cascade’s amenities include a resort-style pool with luxury lounge seating, cabanas, a poolside bar, an outdoor movie screen, and a game room with a foosball table, billiards, shuffleboard, and card tables, a basketball half-court, a yoga studio, grilling stations, outdoor dining areas, an indoor social lounge with comfortable seating, modern kitchen, media room, and a kids’ playroom, and an onsite dog run and wash.
The Link at Douglas master plan will include approximately 1,600 residential units, over 32,000 square feet of retail space, and a public plaza connecting to The Underline. Cascade’s sister property, CORE, a 22-story multifamily tower with 312 apartment residences and 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, opened in 2021.
Shore Club Private Collection South Beach Unveiled by Witkoff and Monroe Capital
With the debut of the Shore Club Private Collection in South Beach, 49 residential units created by Robert A.M. Stern Architects will be available, including a brand-new, 200-foot-tall oceanfront tower that is the renowned designer’s nautically-inspired take on the region’s famous MiMo architecture.
With a rounded shape influenced by ocean waves and replete with nautical and yachting allusions, it will rise 18 floors and no floor plans are the same.
A pool and private gardens are just two of the resort-style features available to members of The Shore Club Private Collection apartments, which are managed by Auberge but offer solitude and seclusion within the 5-star resort.
Interior design elements include mahogany and oak woods, nickel, brass, and other light metalwork accents, swooping walls, and arched windows, all of which are references to the materials and shapes of classic yachts. Units will start at $6 million.
Four duplex houses are located on the upper floors of The Cromwell, a different 1939-built structure that is also being refurbished and integrated as a private entrance for residents.
A 6,000-square-foot single-family beach house for the Shoreclub Private Collection, which was similarly created by RAMSA, is also under construction.
On the project, RAMSA worked with Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design. Landscape planning is being managed by Island Planning Corporation with developers Witkoff and Monroe Capital.
