Aria Reserve’s North Tower is rounding the final turn in Edgewater, with most of its exterior cladding and floor to ceiling glass now wrapped around the Biscayne Bay side of the site. The 62 story high rise at 725 NE 24th Street is the second of The Melo Group’s twin towers, and it is scheduled to deliver in the second quarter of 2026. Once it opens, the North Tower is set to bring roughly 399 new condominium residences to Edgewater’s increasingly crowded waterfront skyline.
According to the project’s official site, Aria Reserve is being developed by The Melo Group, with Arquitectonica serving as the architect of record, MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique leading interior design, and ArquitectonicaGEO handling landscape architecture. The complex is listed at 725 NE 24th Street and is marketed as covering more than five acres, with 547 linear feet of direct waterfront reserve along Biscayne Bay.
Construction progress
Recent site photos published by Florida YIMBY show the southern half of the North Tower’s facade with its protective blue film peeled away, revealing finished glazing, while the upper floors remain wrapped as crews close out balcony railings and glass work. The update notes that most of the remaining exterior work is focused on the top three stories, home to the Tri Level Penthouse Mansions on floors 60 through 62, with only minor items left at the podium and bayfront levels.
Residences and layouts
Sales materials divide the North Tower into several product tiers: Panoramic Residences, Skyview Villas, Penthouse Residences and the three story Tri Level Penthouse Mansions. Layouts span one to four bedrooms, with ceiling heights advertised between 10 and 12 feet. Broker and project listings place the North Tower at roughly 399 residences, with both towers together totaling about 782 units. Floor stacks and unit counts are detailed in the project overview on Manhattan Miami.
Planned amenities are extensive. More than two acres of indoor and outdoor spaces are on deck, including a semi Olympic pool, full service spa, fitness and yoga areas, tennis and basketball courts, children’s play zones, screening rooms, co working lounges and a private marina component, as reported by Florida YIMBY. Developer materials also spotlight podium and bayfront decks designed to activate the waterfront and tie into the Miami Baywalk, according to marketing pages on Aria Reserve.
Where this sits in the skyline
The Melo Group is pitching Aria Reserve as the tallest waterfront residential twin tower development in the United States, a marketing point that underscores the scale and visibility of the complex along Biscayne Bay, per the developer’s overview at The Melo Group. The south tower has already topped out and moved toward owner closings while the north tower finishes its exterior, according to local coverage. The topping out of the south building was noted by PROFILE Miami.
Skyclub and next phases
Plans for a third building on the Aria Reserve site, marketed as Aria Reserve Skyclub, moved through city review last year. Submissions to Miami’s Urban Development Review Board in June 2025 outline a proposed 49 story tower at 500 NE 24th Street that would bring roughly 430 additional residences, about 77,000 square feet of office space, and nearly 7,000 square feet of retail, according to coverage of the filings by Traded.
What it means for Edgewater
Aria Reserve is arriving as Edgewater trades in its older, low rise bayside blocks for a dense lineup of luxury towers and mixed use projects, a shift that is visibly redrawing both the skyline and the street level feel of the neighborhood. Local commercial real estate reporting points to multiple large developments and active construction corridors in the district, which helps explain why a large scale, amenity heavy waterfront complex like Aria Reserve is being framed as an anchor project for the submarket; see coverage from HawkinsCRE.
With exterior work on the North Tower nearing completion and deliveries targeted for the second quarter of 2026, closings and move ins are expected to follow soon after, while the remaining parcels on the site stay in front of city planners. Sales pages and broker listings cite a Q2 2026 delivery window for the North Tower, according to Miami Condo Investments.
