The site is about five acres with about 550 feet of bay frontage. Melo Group built two 62-story towers and a recreation podium of roughly two acres on it. The South Tower was the first to launch and the first to finish.

Melo launched the South Tower in June 2021 and topped it out in April 2024. The tower was complete by mid-2025.

Amenities include tennis, paddle and basketball courts, a playground and a splash pad, mini golf, a dog park and a bay-level marina dock. Launch pricing ran up to about $12 million for the largest penthouses.

Edgewater is the stretch of Biscayne Bay shoreline between Downtown and Midtown, north of Margaret Pace Park and south of the Design District. Biscayne Boulevard runs along its western side, and the bay is on its eastern edge. The neighborhood has filled with waterfront towers from several developers since the 2010s, including Paraiso Bay farther north.

Edgewater is a bayfront location with a short drive to Downtown, Wynwood, the Design District and the airport.

Arquitectonica designed the two towers as a pair, with the bay-facing podium shared between them. Residences are flow-through plans with terraces, private elevator foyers on many floors and floor-to-ceiling glass. The residences are organized in tiers. Panoramic Residences occupy floors 3 through 56. Skyview Villas sit on the upper floors of that range, penthouses on 57 through 59, and tri-level penthouse residences on 60 through 62.

Most residences came with a den or office, and interiors were designed by MORADA.

Services are a 24-hour attended lobby, a concierge, a package room and valet. Recreation sits on the podium and bay levels. A sky lobby holds an adults' lounge with terrace, a wine cellar and a business center. The waterfront restaurant is a tenant and turns over, so it is not listed as a fixed amenity.

The building is new. Ask for the first-year budget against actuals, the reserve funding schedule, the status of any developer turnover items and warranty claims, and the shared-cost arrangement with the North Tower. Florida's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules apply to condominium buildings of three or more stories; ask for the inspection report, the reserve study and any assessment history.

Pet, leasing, minimum lease, guest and resale rules are set by the association and should be confirmed at offer stage.

Sales launched in June 2021 with a 30 percent deposit schedule for domestic buyers and 40 percent for international buyers. Preconstruction contracts were largely sold by the time the tower topped out, so resales and the remaining sponsor inventory are the active market. One of seven arms-length sales recorded in May 2026, at $3,850,000. It is one sale, not a building price.

Pricing varies widely by tier. Panoramic residences, Skyview Villas, penthouses and the tri-level mansions trade in different ranges, and a high-floor sale is not a building average.

Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Know which tower you are buying. South and North are separate condominiums with a shared site. Confirm the cost-sharing terms in writing.

Confirm the floor plan and view. Bay, city and Atlantic-side views differ by line and floor.

Price against your tier and floor. Use trades in your line, not the penthouse sales.

Check competing inventory. A second tower sits next door, so ask what is listed in both before you set a price.
