Villa Miami Hits Construction Milestone as 56-Story Tower Moves Toward Vertical Build
Construction at Villa Miami, a highly anticipated 56-story waterfront residential tower, has officially reached a major milestone with the successful completion of its concrete foundation pour. Rising at 710 Northeast 29th Street in Miami’s vibrant Edgewater neighborhood, the 650-foot-tall luxury skyscraper is now poised to begin vertical construction, propelling it toward its 2027 completion date.
Developed by Terra and One Thousand Group in collaboration with Major Food Group, Villa Miami is set to become one of the tallest and most architecturally distinctive towers along the Biscayne Bay shoreline. The building is being designed by ODP Architecture & Design, with DeSimone Consulting Engineers serving as structural engineer. Moss Construction is the general contractor, while Capform Inc. leads the shell construction efforts.
On May 9, a meticulously coordinated, 14-hour foundation pour marked a major engineering feat. The operation included over 3,400 cubic yards of concrete and 2,095 tons of steel, supported by 43 rotating concrete trucks. C&C Concrete Pumping and Supermix played key roles in ensuring continuous concrete delivery, while aerial photos captured the scale and complexity of the effort. Tower cranes, staging zones, and floodlit work areas showcased the high-level coordination required to execute such a significant pour—completed four weeks ahead of schedule.
The structure’s unique copper-clad façade and luxury branding powered by Major Food Group will make Villa Miami one of the most iconic residential offerings in Edgewater, blending design-forward living with waterfront serenity and world-class amenities.

The centerpiece of Villa Miami is The Copper Club, a three-floor, resident-only amenity suite that epitomizes luxury. With private dining, lounges, a screening room, wellness facilities, and even a rooftop helipad, the club fosters an unparalleled lifestyle. Completing this curated experience, residents will have priority access to a new Major Food Group waterfront restaurant, adding another layer of exclusivity.
Kevin Venger of One Thousand Group noted, “With Villa Miami, we’re bringing another landmark to Miami’s skyline, redefining luxury in Edgewater and Biscayne Bay.”
Villa Miami’s interiors mark the Miami debut of renowned designer Vicky Charles of Charles & Co., whose work has graced the homes of A-list celebrities worldwide. Inspired by mid-century Italian villas and Miami’s vibrant energy, the design incorporates warm woods, elegant curves, and ambient lighting, creating a harmonious blend of comfort and sophistication.
Terra and One Thousand Group bring an unparalleled legacy to the project, having delivered landmarks such as Five Park Miami Beach, Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove, and One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid. Their combined expertise ensures Villa Miami will set a new benchmark for luxury living.
