Plans Filed for 3 Tower Development – Biscayne 21
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
Entertainment room
Meeting room
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.
North Development Launches Condo-Hotel Brand-Domus Brickell Park
North Development is launching a ground-breaking new condo-hotel that is poised to revolutionize the hospitality sector in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood, Domus Brickell Park. Ricardo Dunin, CEO of Oak Capital and Edifica are partnering on this project creating the North Development group.
With 171 fully equipped condo-hotel suites Domus will rise 12 stories tall and will be located in the vibrant Brickell neighborhood at 1611 SW 2nd Avenue. The superbly designed studio, one, and two-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 330 to 979 square feet and costs ranging from $400,000 to $900,000, were created by Zyscovich Architects with interiors by Urban Robot.
Owners will pay far less in fees without sacrificing the integrity of the high-end hospitality concept by getting rid of the developer’s ownership of the common areas while still providing professional management for the individual units. The project’s prohibition against yearly occupancy for periods longer than six months and one day gives it another competitive edge. Although still enabling out-of-towners to enjoy their units while in Miami, this minimizes the natural friction between long-term residents and the transient rental market.
Before arriving, guests can check in online and get the entry code for their unit on their phone. By giving the building a chance to get acquainted with the visitors beforehand, this not only provides convenience but also boosts building security. Only owners and visitors can enter the units because the access key is needed to utilize the elevator. There will also be a visitor call center open around-the-clock.
The Peacock Room is located in the expansive lobby at the center of the structure. This area offers a full range of food and drink options throughout the day, including a market, fine wine, specialty brewed beer, and gourmet coffee. It has mellow music, high-speed internet, and co-working spaces that will draw both locals and visitors. Domus Brickell Park has a wellness area with modern fitness equipment, a steam room, and other amenities. Also, there is a rooftop pool deck with cabanas, a hot tub, a grilling area, and an entertainment space.
North Development has a long-term interest in utilizing the Domus brand in other areas, and the building is anticipated to open in late 2025. The sales center is located at 1200 Brickell Avenue, Miami.
If you or someone you know have an interest in purchasing at Domus Brickell Park, please contact Lucas Lechuga via email at [email protected] or by phone at (786)247-6332.

Approval Pending for Construction on 10 Story Residential Tower in Miami Beach
An application has been submitted for design review approval to build a new 10-story mixed-use building at 6940 Abbott Avenue, the location of a former BellSouth office and parking lot that is no longer in use in the North Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach. The application was filed by 6940 North Beach LLC, a joint venture between entities controlled by Rainer Viete, Jose Boschetti, and Eduardo Otaola.
The 130-foot-tall structure will feature 134,573 square feet of space, including 96 multi-family units, 21 of which would be co-living units, 2,192 square feet of ground floor retail, and 90 parking spaces. It was designed by Arquitectonica with Biscayne Engineering serving as the land surveyor and civil engineer.
Unit floor plans include studio, one, and two bedrooms. The regular size units would be between 550 and 1,250 square feet, while studio units (co-living) will be between 403 and 437 square feet. A cafe, fitness facility, pickle-ball court, and a lap pool will all be on the rooftop.
The traffic engineer is David Plummer & Associates, while the landscape architect is Christopher Cawley Landscape Architecture. The interior of the building will be thoroughly illuminated by natural light thanks to the use of grey glass windows and a glass railing. Mixing these materials will produce a striking, modern appearance that blends nicely with the nearby North Beach neighborhood. A stunning concrete frame with spherical motifs grouped in a bond-like pattern wraps around all elevations of the residential component of the building, emphasizing its distinctive form.
The development organization has also offered hurricane-proof impact windows, passive cooling systems, resilient planting, a study of the elevation of the property and the elevation of neighboring properties, and a recycling or salvage strategy for partial or complete deconstruction. To integrate the loading and parking driveways, they also ask for a waiver. The granting of this waiver will enable the project to be better designed while still adhering to the TC-C district’s development restrictions and without the requirement for variances. The project’s anticipated construction cost is approximately $14,692,224.
