Biscayne Beach is a 51-story ultra-luxury waterfront tower in northern Edgewater that introduced Miami's first bayfront beach club. Completed in 2017 by Eastview Development and GTIS Partners, the building features 399 residences with Thom Filicia-designed interiors, Snaidero cabinetry, Miele appliances, and nearly 10-foot ceilings throughout. The building's signature amenity is its man-made sand beach surrounding the bayfront pool, creating a resort-like experience unique to Edgewater. A 6th-floor amenity deck adds a second pool, tennis courts, a basketball half-court, spa, and dog park. Units feature oversized terraces with floor-to-ceiling impact glass and glass-railed balconies for unobstructed bay views. The building has aged well since its 2017 delivery and is currently undergoing routine facade remediation work. Biscayne Beach attracts a mature, high-net-worth resident base and maintains a quiet, non-party atmosphere in a premium northern Edgewater location.
Mature professionals, high-net-worth families, international buyers, and empty nesters seeking a premium waterfront lifestyle with resort-level amenities in a quieter neighborhood than Brickell or Downtown.
Biscayne Beach sits on the bayfront in northern Edgewater, in a quieter stretch of the neighborhood that is rapidly transforming. The building occupies a prime waterfront position with permanently protected east-facing views across Biscayne Bay. Villa Miami is under construction directly to the south, and several other projects are in various stages of development nearby. Biscayne Blvd with its shops and restaurants is 2-3 blocks west. There is no nearby Metromover station, so a car is recommended. The further north you go in Edgewater, the worse the traffic gets near the I-195 interchange.

The area around Biscayne Beach is in the middle of a major transformation. Villa Miami is under construction directly to the south and will impact SE-facing views. The Cove Miami is going up nearby. Several vacant lots to the west are slated for development. The entire row of older low-rise buildings to the north are likely buyout targets in the next 5-10 years. Expect heavy construction in all directions for the next 3-5 years. The upside is that all this development will bring more retail, restaurants, and walkability to northern Edgewater. No nearby Metromover station. Bus routes on Biscayne Blvd. Car recommended. I-195 access nearby but contributes to traffic congestion.

The man-made sand beach surrounding the bayfront pool is not just a marketing gimmick. It is a genuine sand beach with cabanas, daybeds, and a children's water feature. It is one of the most unique amenity offerings in all of Edgewater and creates a resort-like atmosphere that no other building in the neighborhood can match.
Biscayne Beach was built to a genuinely high standard in 2017. Snaidero cabinetry, Miele appliances, quartz countertops, nearly 10-foot ceilings, and impact-resistant floor-to-ceiling glass throughout. The building has been well maintained and the common areas remain up to date. Current facade remediation work is routine for a building this age and is a sign of proactive maintenance, not neglect.
Villa Miami is under construction directly to the south of Biscayne Beach. Any units with direct southeast exposure will have Villa Miami in their view once completed. Make sure you understand exactly what your view will look like post-construction. Do not rely on listing photos that may have been taken before Villa Miami broke ground.
The area around Biscayne Beach is a construction zone and will be for the foreseeable future. Villa Miami is going up to the south. The Cove Miami is under construction nearby. Several vacant lots to the west are slated for development. And the entire row of older condo buildings directly to the north are likely buyout targets in the next 5-10 years. Expect noise, dust, and traffic disruption.
Some units at Biscayne Beach have interesting but unconventional layouts with angled walls and extensive glass. While the floor-to-ceiling windows are stunning, these angles can make furniture placement challenging. When evaluating a specific unit, think carefully about how you would actually furnish the space. Bring a tape measure and a furniture plan.
The further north you go in Edgewater, the worse the traffic gets as you approach the I-195 interchange. Afternoon traffic on Biscayne Blvd in this area can be chaotic. The same flooding issues that affect all of Edgewater apply here. If your car is parked on the street during a rainstorm or tropical storm, there is a real risk of flood damage.
Biscayne Beach is not a party building. The resident demographic skews mature and high-net-worth. The building maintains a quiet, upscale atmosphere. If you are looking for nightlife energy and a social scene, this is not the building for you. If you want a premium, peaceful waterfront home with resort-level amenities, it fits the bill.
Biscayne Beach is a legitimate ultra-luxury building in Edgewater with a unique beach club amenity that sets it apart from every other building in the neighborhood. The build quality is high, the amenities are extensive, and the views are incredible. The trade-offs are the construction zone surrounding it, the Villa Miami impact on south-facing views, and the standard Edgewater downsides of flooding, traffic, and limited transit access. For the price point, you are getting a lot of building.
Biscayne Beach is the real deal when it comes to ultra-luxury in Edgewater. The sand beach club is not just a gimmick. It is a genuinely unique amenity that creates a resort atmosphere you cannot find anywhere else in the neighborhood. The build quality is high. Snaidero cabinets, Miele appliances, nearly 10-foot ceilings, and the building has aged well since 2017. The amenity suite is deep: two pools, tennis, basketball, spa, theater, and a Thom Filicia-designed lobby. The views to the east are permanently protected and incredible. But you need to go in with your eyes open. Villa Miami is going up directly to the south, so any SE-facing units will have a new tower in their sightline. The entire area around the building is a construction zone and will be for 3-5 years. There are vacant lots to the west and older buildings to the north that are all future development sites. Some of the unit layouts have angled walls and extensive glass that look great in photos but can be tricky to actually furnish. And you have all the standard Edgewater trade-offs: flooding, Biscayne Blvd traffic (which gets worse this far north near I-195), and limited transit access. The crowd here is mature and high-net-worth. This is not a party building. If you want a premium, peaceful waterfront home with a unique beach club and are willing to deal with the construction around you, Biscayne Beach delivers a lot of building for the price.
