Exciting new plans have been revealed for a 33-story residential tower in Edgewater, Miami. The project, named 1600 Edgewater, has been officially submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) for approval, marking a significant step in the city’s ongoing skyline transformation.

Designed by the renowned architectural firm Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, the tower is set to become a defining addition to Edgewater’s evolving landscape.

Planned for the former Miami Cash Register site, 1600 Edgewater is poised to rise 381 feet and will feature a mix of residential, commercial, and parking spaces, including:

  • 282 residential units (262 market-rate, 20 affordable housing)
  • 6,615 square feet of commercial space (5,539 SF at the ground level, 1,077 SF on the rooftop)

The project is being developed by 1600 NE 2nd Avenue, LLC, an entity reportedly linked to Sabet Group. The development has already taken major steps forward, having entered construction permitting, submitted for FAA height approval, and completed a utilities agreement.

The Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) hearing for 1600 Edgewater is set for March 19, where city officials will review the project’s plans and impact on the community. Given Edgewater’s rapid growth and increasing demand for high-quality residences, this tower is expected to contribute to the neighborhood’s ongoing transformation.

Echad Holdings LLC. has officially proposed a three-tower development in North Miami Beach. Managed by Aviva and Chaim Druin, Echad Holdings LLC’s website states that they are a real estate investment and property management company.

The proposed site is located at 851 N.E. 167th Street intersecting with Gloden Glades Drive. On the current 2.1 acre lot sits a 45,728 square foot office building that will be demolished in the initial phases of construction, once approved. The office building was constructed in 1973.

Two of the towers are planned to be 15 stories and the 3rd story is planned for 10 stories. It will be a combined 464,807 square feet with 77,856 square feet allocated to office space and 12,258 square feet for retail. The plan includes 223 condo and hotels rooms, 3,866 square feet of restaurants, and 526 parking spaces.

The pool would be located at the 10-story tower on the 10th floor of the amenity deck. The plans refer to the condo units as ‘extended-stay’ rooms but will be sold as condos. These units will include 143 one-bedroom and 80 two-bedroom units, all with full kitchens.

Echad Holdings LLC acquired the property in 2015 for $5.6 million. More recently, the city rezoned the area for a mixed-use development. The Miami-based designer for this project is well-known Kobi Karp Architects who have designed Arte, Legacy Hotel & Residences, and 1300 Ponce.

North Miami Beach’s Planning and Zoning Board are scheduled to meet on September 20th to discuss the plans. If approved, the construction is scheduled to begin in 2022.
