Exterior work is progressing on URBAN22, a 15-story, twin-towered mixed-use development under construction at 2200 Northeast 2nd Avenue in Edgewater, Miami. Designed by G3aec (G3 Design Build LLC) and developed by Melo Group, the project will yield approximately 708,119 square feet of space, including 441 luxury rental apartments, 7,168 square feet of retail space, 5,692 square feet of office space, and 529 parking spaces. The 176-foot-tall towers topped off in August and are located between Northeast 22nd and 23rd Streets, near the border with Wynwood and the Arts & Entertainment District. Melo Group’s in-house construction firm is serving as the general contractor.
Recent photos show the steady progress on the exterior of the reinforced concrete superstructure from an aerial perspective. Unsurprisingly, Melo Group has been building URBAN22 at an incredible pace, having broken ground in February and topping off only seven months later.

With the exception of the hoist lines, all glass and aluminum window systems have been installed, and the installation of glass railings is now underway.

The most progress has been made on the southern side of the development, which has a 9-story extension that reaches further into Northeast 22nd Street, connected to a hidden parking garage. This section of the project gives us a better idea of the overall finish, which will comprise vertical and horizontal sections of white and grey stucco. Thin vertical bands of blue-green paint will appear as accents.

Amenities will include an outdoor pool deck with a spa, garden terraces, and a fitness center, and a social room.
At this pace, YIMBY expects construction to wrap up by the Summer of 2023.
