Villa Miami is a 56-storey, roughly 650-foot bayfront tower of roughly 70 half-floor and full-floor residences at 710 NE 29th Street in Edgewater, by Terra and One Thousand Group with Major Food Group, designed by ODP Architects with interiors by Vicky Charles. Here is what the buyers who choose it are choosing.
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. Villa Miami is one the desk is asked about every week, and this note is compiled from the developer's published material and the public record rather than from a brochure summary. It is the list of reasons buyers give when they choose this building, in the order we hear them, with the facts behind each one.
Villa Miami carries roughly 70 residences across 56 storeys, every one a half floor or a full floor. On the Edgewater bayfront, where towers of this height usually hold two or three hundred homes, that is a deliberate choice of scale, and it is the reason the desk at Miami Dossier reads Villa as an estate building before it reads it as a branded one.
Major Food Group, the restaurateurs behind Carbone, Contessa and ZZ's Club, curates the hospitality and culinary programme and operates a waterfront restaurant at the base with resident priority. It is the group's first residential building, and the residents' club is programmed by people who run rooms for a living.
ODP Architects designed the tower with a bronze exoskeleton over a faceted glass amenity podium. It is the only bronze tower on the Edgewater bayfront, and its silhouette already reads from the causeways.
Your situation is specific. Tell the desk in one message and we will say what applies to you, what does not, and who to speak with.
Vicky Charles, after two decades as global head of design at Soho House, designed the residences and the club through Charles and Co in New York. The rooms carry a residential warmth rather than a hotel finish.
Published plans run from half-floor homes to full-floor and duplex residences of four to six bedrooms, with sunrise and sunset terraces on every home and water on both faces. There is no small line in the building.
A three-level private amenity suite with dining rooms, lounges, wellness facilities, salon spaces and a screening room, programmed by Major Food Group, with estate managers and in-residence service in the published material.
A rooftop helipad and an on-site dock on the bay, with a private vault, are in the published programme. In a building of roughly 70 homes those are not marketing lines; they are used.
Residences are delivered finished, with wood floors and La Cornue ranges in the published specification, so the second budget after closing is smaller than usual.
710 NE 29th Street sits on the bay between the Julia Tuttle and Venetian causeways, with open water to Miami Beach and the Design District and Wynwood a few minutes west. The stretch has moved from low-rise to towers in a decade, and the bayfront sites are the ones that hold their views.
Terra developed Park Grove and Grove at Grand Bay in Coconut Grove; One Thousand Group delivered One Thousand Museum and is the developer of Anantara Residences. The structure passed the 21st floor in early 2026 and was well above it by May, with Moss Construction as general contractor and completion guided for late 2027. The desk at Miami Dossier holds the delivery history and shares it on request.
The current 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, including Anantara. 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 Villa Miami or another building.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about Villa 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 Villa 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.
