Plans Filed For The Edgewater Collective At 1900 And 2000 Biscayne Boulevard In Edgewater, Miami

Miami’s Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) is scheduled to review plans filed for the Edgewater Collective, a three-towered, mixed-use development at 1900 and 2000 Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater. 1900 Biscayne Boulevard is a 42-story, two-towered structure designed by Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design Inc. with 872 residential units. 2000 Biscayne Boulevard, already under construction, is a 36-story tower designed by Dorsky + Yue International, which will contain 420 residential units. The overall project is being developed by 1900 Biscayne Property Owner LLC and 2000 Biscayne Fee Owner LLC, which are entities tied to a joint venture partnership between New York-based real estate developer Kushner Companies and Miami-based PTM Partners, and will yield 2,022,779 square feet of space including 1,292 residential units, ground floor retail space, and 1,007 parking spaces.

Biscayne Boulevard binds the 2.301-acre property on the East, commercial property on the West, Northeast 20th Street Alley on the North, and NE 19th Street on the South, located in the T6-36B-O zoning transect. The filing included new project renderings and diagrams, focusing more specifically on the design for 1900 Biscayne Boulevard.
