SB Development Proposes New 55-Story Tower in Edgewater, Miami

Plans have been submitted to Miami's Urban Development Review Board (UDRB) for a 55-story multifamily tower in the Edgewater neighborhood. The teams behind the proposal are SB Development and Hazelton Capital Group.

The new tower would replace an older condo building on the site, which has been purchased by the developers of the new project. A demolition permit is pending for the older building.

What to expect from this new project: The new tower is proposed to rise 55 stories, or 641 feet above ground and 650 feet above sea level. The tower would include 463 units, 3 levels of amenities (including a rooftop pool and sky lounge), and 172 parking spaces in an enclosed garage. The garage would feature an aluminum screen.

What’s the next step: The UDRB hearing for the project is scheduled for October 18. If approved, the new tower would be a significant addition to the Edgewater neighborhood, which has become increasingly popular in recent years. The tower would offer residents stunning views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. The amenities would also be a major draw, as they would provide residents with a wide range of options for recreation and relaxation.

The neighbors’ opinion: The project has received some mixed reactions from residents of the Edgewater neighborhood. Some of them are concerned about the impact that the new tower would have on traffic and congestion in the neighborhood. Others are concerned about the effect the tower would have on the views of existing residents.

However, the developers have stated that they are committed to working with the community to address any concerns. They have also stated that the project would create jobs and boost the local economy.

The UDRB hearing on October 18 will be an opportunity for the public to weigh in on the project.
