Plans have been submitted to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board for 1600 Edgewater, a 33-story mixed-use tower proposed at the former Miami Cash Register site at 1600 NE 2nd Avenue. Designed by Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, the project aims to integrate elements reflective of Biscayne Bay, Wynwood, and Miami’s evolving skyline, according to a letter from the architect.

The tower is planned to rise 381 feet and introduce 282 residential units, including 262 market-rate apartments and 20 affordable units. This inclusion of affordable housing aligns with broader citywide efforts to increase housing accessibility within Miami’s rapidly developing neighborhoods.
The architect noted that the building aspires to be more than just a physical structure, envisioning it as a celebration of Edgewater’s vibrant character and urban growth.

The development will also incorporate 6,615 square feet of commercial space, with 5,539 square feet positioned on the ground floor and 1,077 square feet designated for rooftop use. The addition of commercial space aims to enhance the pedestrian experience and contribute to the growing retail and dining scene in Edgewater.

Parking accommodations include 328 spaces housed within an eight-story garage, providing ample capacity for both residents and visitors. The structured parking design intends to complement the building’s architectural approach while ensuring efficient use of the site’s footprint.

The project is being developed by 1600 NE 2nd Avenue, LLC, an entity reportedly linked to Sabet Group, a real estate investment and development firm known for its growing portfolio of South Florida properties.
The proposal is currently under review for FAA height approval and has already progressed into the construction permitting phase. Additionally, the developer has finalized a utilities agreement, ensuring that the necessary infrastructure components are in place to support the tower’s future residents and commercial tenants.
