New rendering of The Edge on Brickell

The Edge on Brickell is back, sort of. The sliver of land at 55 SW Miami Avenue where a condo tower was proposed just a few years ago will now be the site of a hotel, developed by its new owner Brazilian Leo Macedo of the Brick Group. The developer told Miami Today “A hotel makes a lot more sense than residential on the river in this particular location,” close to transit, marine life, and the activity of lots of surrounding new developments.

Although the hotel has a new architect and a new (even taller!) design, Macedo is sticking with the name ‘The Edge on Brickell.’ The project will have 200 hotel rooms and more parking than the axed residential tower. Plans shown to the Miami River Commission on April 22nd show two ninth floor pool decks and a rooftop restaurant.
