Life at Villa Miami
Edgewater has transformed over the past decade from low-rise residential and light industrial into one of Miami's most concentrated luxury waterfront ecosystems. Villa Miami sits at the apex of that transformation — bringing New York's most acclaimed hospitality brand to the Biscayne Bay waterfront for the first time.
Major Food Group's First Residential
Villa Miami is the first-ever residential project branded by Major Food Group (MFG) — the New York hospitality powerhouse behind Carbone, Contessa, Dirty French, ZZ's Club, and Sadelle's. MFG founders Jeff Zalaznick, Mario Carbone, and Rich Torrisi are partners.
Mario Carbone-Designed Kitchens
Each residence features 'proper chef's kitchen' designed by chef Mario Carbone himself — professional-grade appliances and fixtures throughout. First five floors of the tower dedicated to amenities including a signature MFG restaurant.
Rooftop Helipad & Private Dock
Marking several firsts for Miami's Edgewater neighborhood — Villa Miami offers an unprecedented arrival option by air, sea, or land. Rooftop helipad, private dockage along Biscayne Bay, plus a public Bay Walk.
Copper-Clad Facade
ODP Architecture-designed masterpiece flaunting a copper-clad façade with no more than two residences per floor — a rare blend of privacy, artistry, and architectural boldness.
Penthouse: $55M
The signature penthouse — occupying the uppermost levels — was unveiled at $55 million, delivered as a fully finished and designed unit. One of the highest single-residence pricing in Miami.
Villa Miami Investment & Market Outlook
Why Edgewater Pre-Construction Outperforms
South Florida pre-construction has historically delivered double-digit appreciation between contract and delivery, especially in branded residences. Edgewater specifically has seen sustained demand from international buyers seeking US dollar-denominated real estate, tax advantages from Florida's no-income-tax structure, and currency hedging against home-market inflation.
Branded residences like Villa Miami typically command 25–35% price premiums over comparable non-branded inventory in the same submarket, and resale price retention has consistently outpaced the broader Miami condo index over the past decade.
Friends & Family Pricing
As pre-construction specialists with direct developer relationships, we offer qualified buyers access to friends-and-family pricing — typically 4–8% below current public release pricing — along with extended deposit schedules, custom unit selection, and priority on the most desirable exposures and floors.
Deposit Structure
Standard Edgewater pre-construction deposit structures range from 20% at contract to 50% by delivery, with milestone payments at groundbreaking, top-off, and certificate of occupancy. Villa Miami follows the Edgewater market standard. Our team can walk you through the full deposit schedule and any current developer incentives reducing the at-contract deposit requirement.
How to Reserve a Residence at Villa Miami
Pre-construction purchases follow a different path than resale transactions. Here's what to expect, step by step.
-
01
Initial Consultation
We start with a 30-minute call to understand your goals — primary residence, investment, legacy asset — and walk you through current availability, pricing tiers, and the floor plans best suited to your needs.
-
02
Floor Plan Selection & Reservation
Once you've narrowed your selection, a refundable reservation deposit (typically $25,000–$100,000) holds your residence for 14–30 days while contracts are prepared. You'll receive the full developer reservation package and the most current pricing for your specific unit.
-
03
Contract & First Deposit
The purchase contract is executed with the developer, and the first deposit (typically 10–20% of the purchase price) is wired to the developer's escrow account at a Florida-licensed institution. All funds are protected under Florida pre-construction escrow law until milestones are reached.
-
04
Construction Milestones
Subsequent deposits are released as construction reaches defined milestones — typically groundbreaking, top-off, and certificate of occupancy. You'll receive quarterly construction updates, photo documentation, and the option to tour the unit once interiors are roughed in.
-
05
Closing & Delivery
At closing, the final balance is funded (cash or financing via approved lenders), title transfers, and you receive keys. Closing typically occurs 30–60 days after the developer issues the certificate of occupancy. Move-in coordination, designer access, and Mercedes-Benz/Bentley/Armani concierge enrollment all happen at this stage.
