Tower by tower, Edgewater skyline and character change
BY MONICA CORREA
Transformative high-rise tow-
ers are changing the Edgewater
neighborhood, with more to come
as demand for luxury residences
continues to grow.
Residential real estate devel-
oper Melo Group, which built
Edgewater projects like 22 Bis-
cayne, 22 Skyview, Bayhouse,
25 Biscayne, Second Plaza, 25
Mirage and Urban 22 — all luxury
condos and rentals —is beginning
work for Aria Reserve, 62-story
dual residential towers designed
by Bernardo Fort -Brescia of Ar-
quitectonica and Morada Haute
Furniture Boutique.
The South tower's 383 resi-
dences are 95 %reserved and are to
be completed in 2024. The North
tower's 363 units, which are 50%
reserved, are to be completed in
2025 as the tallest waterfront dual
residential towers in the nation,
according to a press release from
the firm.
"The project started around 10
years ago when we started buying
land," said Martin Melo, principal
of Melo Group. The company
made more than 81 purchases of
land infront ofBiscayneBay toac-
quire the 5 acres where the towers
are to rise, connecting downtown
and Brickell to Edgewater.
The project's one- to four -
bedroom apartments ranging
from 1,100 to 3,030 square feet
Art of skyline shows 62-story residential towers, which together are to add 746 Edgewater residences
are priced from $1.1 million to
over S4 million, according to the
company.
The towers are also to have "an
exclusive collection ofpenthouse
residences" that would be three
stories and feature private rooftop
decks with pools, ranging from
3,500 square feet to over 9,000
and priced up to $12 million.
Additionally, there would be 2
acres of amenities, including an
exclusive lounge area called "Sky
Lobby" with outdoor terraces with
bay views and private workspaces.
"The project is unique," said
Mr. Melo. "It has view over the
Biscayne Bay, where you can see
the island in front (Pace Picnic Is-
land), with Miami Beach views."
Almost 50% of the apartment
buyers, he said, are international.
"Who comes to Miami is looking
for water views, which is each
time more expensive and scarcer."
And the location, Mr. Melo said,
adds to the attraction of the area,
which is becoming a premium
residential zone.
Melo Group is also developing
a public park that will connect to
the Miami Baywalk along North -

east 23rd Street, proving access
to the 5-mile-long pedestrian and
bicycle -friendly waterfront along
Biscayne Bay from Edgewater.
The park is to be completed along
with the first tower in 2024.
The firm has always focused
on Edgewater, Mr. Melo said,
and the company has more land
to continue developing another
6,000 units.
Currently, Melo Group is devel-
oping a 5 8-story tower downtown
with 560 rental units that is to
open in November. The firm is
also developing 460 residential
units in Edgewater, along Second
Avenue between Northeast 22nd
and 23rd streets, which is to be
done i n January or February 2023.
A 60-story building at Northeast
FirstAvenue and Sixth Street with
824 units will be coming soon, the
company said.
"We are in Edgewater since
2021, and we have built more
than 7,000 units in total, mostly
in Edgewater," said Mr. Melo. "Of
those, 2,300 in the Art and Enter-
tainment District, downtown, and
some in Brickell."
Similarly, Two Roads Devel-
opment has acquired a 3.5-acre
waterfront site foram "ultra -luxury
branded" residential property with
191 condo units in three towers.
Avison Young's Florida Capital
Markets Groups aided the closing
of $ l50 million sale ofBiscayne
21, at 2121 N Bayshore Drive.
"It is a pretty unique deal," said
John Crotty, principal at Avison
Young's Capital Markets Group
consulting and advisory. "[It]
started over a year and a half ago,
when owners of the property had
potential interests in selling their
individual units of an older condo
building that was originated in the
1980s and it had been growing
older. We talked to the owners
and expressed the fact that there
would be interest from a lot of
developers on this."
The team listed about 92%
of the apartments of the entire
property, said Mr. Crotty, about
172 units of the project, in a 45-
to 60-day process. "That's a huge
amount of people to get all on
one page," he said. "We created
marketing materials, we listed the
property, we widely marketed it to
all kinds of buyers, international,
national, regional buyers; and we
wanted to bring in multiple of-
fers on the property on what we
called our initial call to offers to
highly qualified developers who
are looking to build 514 units or
'We have built more
than 7,000 units in total,
mostly in Edgewater.'
Marti. Melo
more on the property, per the Mi-
ami 21 code," which establishes
procedures for new development
or redevelopment in the city.
At the time of Avison Young's
marketing campaign, around 92%
ofall the units were occupied, said
Mr. Crotty.
"We then went back to the
top groups who had the most
aggressive pricing in temps," he
continued, "and we pushed them
even more against one another
to sharpen their pencils and be
more aggressive with higher of-
fers, and ultimately select a group
who had experience working in
Edgewater."
The winning team was Two
Roads Development, which are
planning ultra -luxury condomini-
ums, also designed by Arquitec-
tonica.
"Two Roads Development
agreed to provide the sellers the
option to stay in their units tempo-
rarily while plans are being final-
ized to replace the current building
with an ultra -luxury residential
development that could rise as
high as 650 feet with all units hav-
ing views of Biscayne Bay," said
MichaelT. Fay, managing director
of TRD's Miami operations, in a
press statement.
"[The replacement] is what I
would call a sweetener," said Mr.
Crotty. "It's something that we
help negotiate for our clients as
part of the deal, and what that's
doing is allowing those sellers to
typically make two to three times
whatever they sell their units for."
There is a tremendous demand
for multi -family or rental projects
in Edgewater because of the con-
nectivity to downtown Miami and
the neighboring areas, he added.
"In my most recent discussions
with developers, everybody right
now is underwriting to $4 a square
foot in rent, which is almost 25%
more than they were years ago,"
said Brian de la Fe, vice president
at Avison Young's Capital Market
Group. "Apartment rentals in
South Florida have probably one
of the highestgrowing rents in the
country, so a lot of developers are
really now trying to get shovels
in the ground."
"And on the west side of Bis-
cayne Boulevard — between the
train tracks and Boulevard— is an
opportunity zone," he continued.
"If[developers] were to hold these
projects for over 10 years, they
would achieve higher returns at
the end of the day, because it's
an opportunity zone investment."

Los retos comerciales

tes el conocimiento de di-
versas cultures, incluidas

tado de los Estados Unidos.
Todos los afios el College

mera semana en el MDC
para aclimatarse a la cul-

Estos jovenes llegan con
suenos, que no serian posi-
bles sin el respaldo de ins-
tituciones que son parte

migrante, y el 75% de ellos
entraron al pais. El Miami

en el almuerzo mensual del
CuerpoConsularde Miami,
donde hable de las ventajas
que tienen los estudiantes
internacionales en el MDC,
quienes llegan deseosos de

productivo intercambio
que genera mas oportuni-
dades de cohesion social,

En el MDC, somos un cri-

cemos la importancia de
construir lazos internacio-
nales para acelerar el exito
