Another residential tower is coming to Miami’s Onni District. Plans for the project, named “1600 Edgewater”, surfaced after LA-based Sabel Group submitted documents for an upcoming UDRB meeting on Wednesday. The proposed 33-story tower will bring 282 units to the area, offering studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartment orientations. To build taller and include more floor space than typically allowed, the developer is using public benefit bonuses, which require setting aside a portion of the units as affordable housing. As part of this agreement, 20 of the 282 units (about 7%) will be reserved for residents earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income. This, in turn, permits the plot’s max height to increase from 24 floors to 48 floors.
Written documents originally outlined 6,615 square feet of retail space, but updated plans from February 2025 appear to show an increase to 9,519 square feet, which includes a rooftop restaurant. Likewise, despite the large podium, the project is actually including lower parking than required. This is possible with a 30% parking reduction waiver, bringing the required parking from 467 spaces to 328. The developer will construct 352 parking spaces in both the podium and on-street.
The 33-story tower is set to rise 384 feet, making it one of the tallest properties in the area. The design features a podium spanning the first eight floors, with residential units occupying levels 10 to 33. Level 9 will house an extensive amenity deck, including a pickleball court, jacuzzi, cold plunge tub, and other recreational spaces. At the top, a rooftop restaurant, swimming pool, and outdoor seating will offer panoramic views of the city.
Kobi Karp is the main architect, while the site’s address is 1600 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL.
