Work is nearing completion on the North Tower of Aria Reserve, a 62-story residential tower at 725 Northeast 24th Street in Edgewater, Miami. The building is designed by Arquitectonica and developed by Melo Group, which is also serving as the general contractor through its in-house construction arm. MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique is handling interior design, and ArquitectonicaGEO is responsible for landscape architecture. The tower will yield 399 condominium units upon completion.
The majority of the exterior cladding is in place, with floor-to-ceiling glass and glass balcony railings enclosing the bulk of the building. The tower volumes are rectangular in massing, though the bay-facing elevations curve gently at the corners, and the continuous balcony slab edges introduce a subtle horizontal articulation across the facade, reading as a soft wave when viewed from the water. Protective blue film has been removed from the southern half of the glazing, while the northern portion remains covered. The remaining glazing work is concentrated on the uppermost floors, specifically the Tri-Level Penthouse Mansion levels on floors 60 through 62, where final installation had not yet occurred at the time the recent photos were taken. Ground-floor and lower podium levels along Biscayne Bay are largely finished, with only minor work remaining.

Residences are organized into four product tiers. Panoramic Residences occupy floors 3 through 56, Skyview Villas span floors 47 through 56, Penthouse Residences are located on floors 57 through 59, and Tri-Level Penthouse Mansions occupy the top three floors, 60 through 62. Unit configurations range from one to four bedrooms, with ceiling heights of 10 to 12 feet, flow-through layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, private elevator access, en-suite bedrooms, and terraces extending up to 11 feet in depth.

Amenity programming totals more than two acres of indoor and outdoor space distributed across the podium and waterfront levels. Planned features include a semi-Olympic pool, whirlpool spas, a full-service spa, fitness center, yoga spaces, meditation gardens, tennis and basketball courts, children’s play areas, game rooms, a screening room, co-working lounges, food and beverage spaces overlooking the bay, and a private marina component.
When complete, Aria Reserve will stand as the tallest waterfront residential twin-tower development in the United States. The site sits within Edgewater, one of Miami’s most active development corridors, with proximity to Downtown Miami, Brickell, Wynwood, Midtown, and the Miami Design District. Nearby cultural institutions include the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the Perez Art Museum Miami, and the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. Delivery of the North Tower is anticipated in the second quarter of 2026.
Melo Group also submitted plans to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board in June 2025 for a third tower on the site, known as Aria Reserve Skyclub. The proposed 49-story building would rise at 500 Northeast 24th Street on the last remaining parcel within the development footprint, yielding approximately 430 condominium units alongside roughly 77,000 square feet of office space and 6,924 square feet of ground-floor retail. Arquitectonica is again the architect of record. The project remains in the early planning stages, with no groundbreaking date announced.

Crazy how uniform the towers are along the waterfront. Looks like the (Affirmation Tower Lite) building to the South and one three blocks north are the exact same height? How tall are these? Great photography, as always!
649 ft is the cap if I’m not mistaken, that’s why they all top off around the same height.
Ah… Makes sense. Thanks!
Looking awwwwmazing…💎💎💎
