Edgewater’s Transformation: A Luxury Boom on the Bay
Nestled along Biscayne Bay and just minutes from the beach, Downtown Miami and more, Edgewater has transformed from a quiet residential neighborhood into one of the city’s most sought-after luxury enclaves. With renowned architects and top-tier developers reshaping its skyline, the neighborhood now boasts some of Miami’s most desirable real estate. One of the last central waterfront neighborhoods that hasn’t been fully developed, Edgewater offers a prime location near the Miami Design District, Wynwood and Midtown—at heart of the city’s best culture, art and dining.
This transformation has been fueled by bold residential developments from leading names like Terra, One Thousand Group, Melo Group, and Two Roads Development. East Edgewater is now home to a series of sleek, high-end residential towers, merging top-tier design and luxury residences catering to the influx of wealthy buyers who call Miami home.
A standout in Edgewater’s revitalization is Villa Miami, the latest residential project by Terra and One Thousand Group. Currently under construction, the tower stands 650 feet above the bay with a striking copper-clad exterior. Inside, every residence will offer panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, along with a suite of top-tier amenities. But the true wow factor is its partnership with Major Food Group (MFG), marking the group’s first-ever branded residential tower. Villa Miami’s residents will also enjoy VIP access to MFG’s first waterfront restaurant opening up just downstairs.
New culinary destinations are also popping up in the surrounding areas, including the much-anticipated Mother Wolf, a contemporary Italian concept by Los Angeles icon Evan Funke, and Sparrow Italia, which recently opened in Wynwood after its success in New York and London.
Beyond luxury residences and dining, Edgewater is incredibly walkable, with a walk score of 87/100 according to the Miami Herald. New parks, pathways and the scenic Baywalk promenade give pedestrians a seamless connection to the outdoors.
Residents and visitors can also look forward to the opening of the grocery giant Whole Foods which made a significant investment in Edgewater by signing a 20-year lease in 2020. This move by one of the most trusted names in retail is a strong endorsement of the neighborhood’s growth and potential.
Edgewater is rapidly becoming one of Miami’s premier addresses. As more world-class developments rise and iconic brands like Whole Foods and Major Food Group establish a presence, the future of this thriving waterfront enclave looks brighter than ever.
