Grupo T&C, an experienced Peruvian developer, has officially submitted plans for Edge House Residences to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board (UDRB). Planned to rise 56 stories atop a 0.64-acre lot at 1825 NE 4th Ave, the building has been in the planning stages for months. Launching sales for buyers in spring of last year, buyers have the opportunity to choose from 608 fully furnished residences, offering the option to purchase without rental restrictions: a common feature in many of Miami’s pre-construction projects. With the tower recently breaking ground, the upcoming UDRB hearing will mark the first step toward official approvals as crews begin foundation work.
According to the document submitted yesterday, the 608 units at Edge House Residences will be divided among studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, with the largest units measuring 1,224 SF. Although Miami’s code allows 500 units per acre, meaning the site could normally accommodate only 322 units, the full 608 units are classified as “lodging” because they have no rental restrictions. This gives the development a density of 304 units per acre, slightly below the maximum of 322.
Residents will have access to a range of amenities, including 293 parking spaces, most of which will be served by mechanical lifts. The ground floor will feature a lobby and amenity areas in place of commercial space, so there will be no retail. Additionally on the ninth and tenth floors, the building will offer a pool deck, wellness spa, fitness center, lounge, co-working space, and additional amenities.
The area surrounding the building will feature wide sidewalks, on-street parking, and extensive landscaping to enhance the pedestrian environment, in line with most Miami developments due to code regulations. Likewise, instead of extending the building to cover the entire lot, the right side of the property will include a landscaped recreational area.
Designed by Miami-based Kobi Karp architects, the building will be among the tallest in the area, rising 630 FT. According to a letter provided by Kobi Karp, the facade of the building is described as “contemporary and refined, emphasizing slender verticality and clean horizontals. The building features a continuous 3-foot-deep balcony wrapping around the north, west, and south elevations—providing functional outdoor space, enhancing façade depth, and offering passive shading. The absence of balcony breaks allows for a more streamlined, sculptural form with an elegant silhouette.”
Meanwhile, the podium “is clad in a louvered metal screen system that blends warm tones of gold, bronze, and brown. This artistic treatment elevates the parking levels into a design feature, rather than a concealed element, and introduces a sophisticated rhythm to the lower façade. This screen also supports ventilation requirements while maintaining a cohesive architectural language throughout the podium”
The development is scheduled for UDRB on September 17th at 2:00 P.M. Approval is not necessary for the project to move forward but is generally recommended.
