EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater is a 55-storey, roughly 649-foot bayfront tower of roughly 185 homes at 2121 North Bayshore Drive, by Two Roads Development, designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica with interiors by Studio Munge, and planned as the first residence-only EDITION in the world. As of summer 2026 the site is still in litigation and construction has not begun. Here is what the buyers who choose it are choosing, and where it stands.
Written by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public construction record, cross-referenced across several sources, with anything unconfirmed flagged. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese and does not represent the developer. All notes from the desk.
The desk at Miami Dossier covers a small number of Miami buildings closely rather than the whole market lightly. EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater is one the desk is asked about every week, and it is also one where the honest answer begins with status: as of the public record in summer 2026 the site is in litigation with the holdout owners of the building that stands on it, construction has not begun, and buyers have sued for their deposits. What follows is the list of reasons buyers give when they choose it, with the facts behind each, and the status stated plainly rather than buried.
Two Roads bought most of the Biscayne 21 condominium on the site in 2022 and launched sales in 2023. Holdout owners sued, and in 2024 an appeals court reversed the condominium termination that would have allowed demolition; Florida's Supreme Court declined to take the case in 2025. In April 2026 the developer recorded a new certificate of termination and says it is moving forward; in May 2026 three buyers sued to recover roughly 2.5 million dollars of deposits, which the developer disputes. No vertical construction has been reported. None of that is the same as cancelled; none of it is the same as rising. The desk at Miami Dossier confirms the current status on the day of any conversation and reads the deposit and escrow terms with that status in mind.
EDITION, the Marriott brand created with Ian Schrager, has hotels with residences attached in several cities, including Miami Beach. This is its first stand-alone residential building anywhere: no hotel, no transient use, the brand's service platform for residents alone. The desk at Miami Dossier reads that as the defining fact.
The site at 2121 North Bayshore Drive, formerly the Biscayne 21 condominium, is roughly 3.5 acres with more than 800 linear feet of frontage on Biscayne Bay, connecting directly to the Baywalk and Margaret Pace Park. Few Edgewater sites carry that much water.

The founder of Arquitectonica designed the tower as a reflective glass form, drawn from the moonlight on the bay and the racing yachts in it. It is the same hand behind Cipriani Residences in Brickell and EDITION's sibling site in Edgewater.
Alessandro Munge's studio designed the residences and the common rooms, as it did at 619 Brickell by Nobu: a calm palette, custom European cabinetry, and rooms drawn as a whole rather than decorated.
Every residence has floor-to-ceiling glass and terraces reported up to 12 feet deep, facing the bay, Downtown, Miami Beach and the Atlantic. Ceilings are reported between 10 and 14 feet.
Roughly 185 residences from one-bedroom-plus-den to four bedrooms, published between roughly 1,950 and 3,860 square feet, with semi-private elevators, Sub-Zero and Wolf kitchens and stone baths with soaking tubs. Three tri-level penthouses have private rooftop pools and gardens.
A three-storey lobby, a library and social lounges opening to bayfront garden terraces with fireside lounges, a cabana-lined bayfront pool with a poolside lounge and bar, a rooftop pool and spa, a fitness centre and yoga studio, a spa programme serviced by EDITION, a private dining room, a cinema, a multi-sport simulator, children's and teen rooms, and six guest suites.
The tower is the first of three planned on the 3.5-acre bayfront site. That means a landscaped precinct rather than a single tower on a strip, and it also means neighbours to come, which the before-you-buy note covers.
The site adjoins Margaret Pace Park at the southern end of Edgewater, a short walk from the Arsht Center and Midtown, with the Venetian Causeway to Miami Beach at the door and the Design District and Wynwood a few minutes west.
Two Roads delivered Elysee and Biscayne Beach on the same stretch of Edgewater, and is the development partner at Rivage Bal Harbour. It has delivered on this bayfront before. It is also, on this site in 2026, a developer in a multi-year dispute over the land under the building, which the desk at Miami Dossier reads alongside the record rather than instead of it.
The current status as of the day you ask, the floor plans by line, the current release and the deposit schedule, obtained directly from the sales team on request, together with our own floor plan analysis and an honest comparison against the other Edgewater towers. None of it is published here because it changes. Ask for it and it arrives from the desk at Miami Dossier the same day, usually by WhatsApp, with our opinion attached, whether that opinion is EDITION, another building, or not now.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about EDITION Residences Miami Edgewater are not only choosing a building. They are moving to Miami from New York, California, London, Bogotá, Mexico City or São Paulo, or adding a Miami position to a portfolio held elsewhere, and the building question sits inside a larger one: how to buy new construction in Miami, how to hold it, and what changes when you do.
The desk keeps short notes on the parts that come up every week: how buying preconstruction in Miami actually works, what a normal deposit schedule looks like, whether you need to be in Miami to buy, whether a foreign buyer can get a mortgage, what taxes a foreign buyer pays on a Miami condo, and the Florida state income tax question for anyone relocating from a high-tax state. For buyers arriving from a specific market there are notes for Bogotá, Mexico City and London, and a broader one on why so many wealthy families are moving to Miami.
Read the ones that apply, then bring the rest to the desk at Miami Dossier. It usually takes one conversation to see how EDITION Residences Miami Edgewater fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.
This note is general information for people considering Miami, written by a real estate desk, not by a law or accounting firm. Nothing here is legal, tax, immigration or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own circumstances. Rules change, treaties differ by country, and the right answer for one family is the wrong answer for another.
Speak with your own attorney and CPA before you commit to anything. If you do not have one who works with international buyers in Florida, the desk is glad to recommend an attorney, a CPA or an adviser suited to your situation, and to sit in the first conversation so that nothing is lost in translation.
Structure, financing, currency, timing, the right building and the right line: the desk works through these questions with international buyers every week, and the answer is nearly always that it can be done, in order, without surprises. If Miami is on your mind, as a home or as an allocation, we would be glad to share what we are seeing, privately, and to start with the question this note did not answer.
Nobody chooses EDITION Residences Miami Edgewater in isolation. The desk at Miami Dossier weighs it against Anantara Residences Miami, and sets it beside every other building in Edgewater on the Edgewater cluster. If the question underneath yours is really whether a bay view survives what is entitled next door, start there instead.
