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.
