Miami’s Urban Development Review Board is set to review plans for Edge House, a 57-story lodging tower proposed for 1825 and 1837 NE 4th Avenue in Edgewater. The board meeting is scheduled for September 17. The project is being developed by Peruvian firm Grupo T&C, through its local affiliate Meridian TC Real Estate Group, LLC, led by Victor Ticona. Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design is listed as the design architect, with Greenberg Traurig, P.A. representing the applicant.
The 0.64-acre site consists of four platted lots with a gross area of 28,058 square feet, currently vacant. The irregularly shaped property fronts NE 4th Avenue to the north and west, abuts a 10-foot-wide alley to the east, and sits adjacent to a multifamily building to the south. The land is zoned T6-36B-L within the OMNI Residential Density Increase Area and carries a Restricted Commercial land use designation within Miami’s Urban Central Business District. Located less than half a mile from the Adrienne Arsht Center and School Board Metromover stations, the property qualifies as a Transit Oriented Development area.

Edge House is planned to rise 630 feet, yielding 608 lodging units and 296 parking spaces. The program distributes ground-floor lobby and service spaces, a mezzanine level with leasing offices, eight levels of parking, two levels of amenities, 45 floors of lodging units, and a rooftop mechanical and amenity deck. Amenities on levels 9 and 10 include a pool deck, fitness center, wellness spa, lounges, co-working areas, shared kitchens, and a mini-market. The parking podium will provide 293 vehicle spaces and 560 bicycle spaces.

A majority of the renderings in the filing are familiar, as the developer first announced the project last year, but new elevation diagrams and a materials board provide further insight into the design. The structure carries a slightly concaved profile, reflecting the constraints of the site itself, which is shaped with a subtle inward curve. The tower’s form is marked by horizontal lines, curved edges, and a continuous three-foot-deep balcony system wrapping the north, west, and south elevations. This treatment enhances façade depth, provides passive shading, and creates a streamlined silhouette. A vertical wave motif is incorporated into the glass façade as a reference to the project’s proximity to Biscayne Bay.

The material palette emphasizes light, reflective surfaces balanced with warmer tones at the podium. Painted aluminum windows and dark bronze framing pair with white and grey stucco finishes, while balconies alternate between white and grey for added texture. At the tower’s base, the podium is clad with aluminum metal panels and fluted limestone, with decorative metal louvers layered over portions of the garage. Additional detailing includes mosaic veneer on columns, tempered glass guard rails, and impact storefront systems with aluminum mullions at the ground level. Together, these finishes elevate the garage levels into a deliberate design feature, while maintaining a cohesive architectural language from street to crown.

The public realm strategy prioritizes pedestrian engagement with shaded sidewalks, native landscaping, transparent frontage at the lobby, and lighting designed to improve walkability and safety. The building’s ground-floor enclosures employ wet floodproofing materials and flood vents, with all critical systems elevated above base flood elevation, aligning with the property’s FEMA AE flood zone designation. Sustainable features include EV-ready parking, high-efficiency HVAC systems, water-saving fixtures, and natural ventilation within the garage.
According to the application, Edge House will utilize Miami 21’s Bonus Height program, allowing 20 additional stories in exchange for the provision of public benefits. The project has been designed to comply fully with Miami 21 standards and does not require waivers or variances.
If approved at the September 17 meeting, Edge House would bring a new 56-story presence to Edgewater, continuing the district’s surge of vertical growth near Biscayne Boulevard, Margaret Pace Park, and Downtown Miami.

Does “lodging” imply that this is a hotel rather than a residential tower?
