Plans have been submitted for a 28-story mixed-use building at 3055 Northeast 4th Avenue in Edgewater, Miami. Referred to as Metro 2 at Edgewater (Metro 2) in the application, the project is designed by Burgos Lanza & Associates and developed by Metro Tower II LLC. The proposed building is set to rise 320 feet to the upper roof slab or 335 feet, including the highest decorative screen. It is expected to offer 349,193 square feet of space, encompassing multi-family dwelling units, lodging units, office space, and ground-floor commercial space. The plans also include on-site parking and a diverse array of amenity spaces. Schwebke-Shiskin & Associates Inc. is listed as the land surveyor, CMPLX as the civil engineer, and JFS Design, Inc. as the landscape architect. The Urban Development Review Board hearing is scheduled for April 17.
The nearly 32,000-square-foot property borders Northeast 4th Avenue on the west, Northeast 30th Terrace on the south, and Northeast 31st Street on the north. The site is adjacent to the recently completed Metro at Edgewater, known as Metro 1, developed by an affiliate of the applicant. This 32-story mixed-use building comprises 279 multi-family dwelling units, 4,063 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, and an enclosed parking garage. To the south of the property lies a four-story building with 18 lodging units at 3031 Northeast 4th Avenue, operating as Sonder The Palace. While not officially a phased development, Metro 1, the proposed Metro 2, and the Sonder property collectively represent a unified development concept within the Edgewater area.

Metro 2 adheres to a modern, contemporary architectural design, featuring a facade that integrates glass and neutral tones to achieve a clean and orderly aesthetic. It is distinguished by structured balconies and vertical lines that enhance its height, aligning with the architectural theme of Metro 1 to its left. The uniformity in design between the two buildings reflects a deliberate approach to creating architectural consistency within the development area. Metro 2 complements its predecessor through similar design elements, contributing to a cohesive visual identity in the Edgewater skyline.
