Aria Reserve North Tower: 62-Story Edgewater Twin Pre-Construction Buyer's Guide (2026)

Aria Reserve North Tower is the second of two 62-story waterfront towers in Edgewater at 725 NE 24th Street, developed by The Melo Group and designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique. The North Tower carries 391 residences and is the bookend that completes the twin-tower master plan -- South Tower already delivered, North Tower closing in on Q2 2026 occupancy as of June 2026.

Together with the South Tower, Aria Reserve forms what Melo markets as the tallest waterfront residential twin-tower complex in the United States -- two towers rising approximately 649 feet on a five-acre site with 550 linear feet of direct Biscayne Bay frontage. Most floor plates are engineered as flow-through units: each home gets east-facing sunrise views over Biscayne Bay and west-facing sunset views over the Downtown Miami skyline.

The North Tower also runs a less-restrictive rental policy than its short-term-rental neighbors on the southern half of the Edgewater corridor: a minimum three-month stay, capped at four times per year, designed for snowbirds and seasonal owners rather than nightly-rental operators.

The Quick Take

Where is Aria Reserve North?

The site sits at 725 NE 24th Street in Edgewater, the bayfront residential corridor between Downtown Miami / Arts & Entertainment District to the south and Midtown / Upper Eastside to the north. Biscayne Bay runs directly along the east edge of the parcel, Margaret Pace Park sits one block north along North Bayshore Drive, and Biscayne Boulevard runs along the west edge of the neighborhood.

Edgewater has a walk score of 85. From the tower, residents are within an easy walk of:

• Margaret Pace Park -- the 8-acre waterfront park with tennis and basketball courts, dog park, jogging path, and views to the Venetian Islands
• The Edgewater Baywalk -- a continuous waterfront promenade still being knit together along the Biscayne Bay edge
• Restaurants and cafes along Biscayne Boulevard and the NE 24th Street corridor

By car or a short Metromover ride:

• Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts -- a few blocks south
• Perez Art Museum (PAMM) and Frost Science Museum -- in Museum Park, ~5 minutes south
• Wynwood and the Design District -- ~5-7 minutes inland, walkable for some Edgewater addresses
• Miami Beach -- 10-15 minutes east via the Julia Tuttle or MacArthur Causeway
• Miami International Airport -- ~20 minutes via I-195

The North Tower's bayfront site is one of the largest contiguous waterfront parcels left in Edgewater.

Who's Behind Aria Reserve?

The developer is The Melo Group, the Argentine-rooted, Miami-based family firm founded by the Melo brothers. Melo is one of the most prolific developers in the Edgewater / Arts District corridor over the last 15 years, with a track record that includes Mei, Bay House, Aria on the Bay, Melody Tower, 23 Biscayne Bay, and the under-construction Aria Reserve Skyclub -- a third Aria Reserve tower of about 49 stories now in plans at 500 NE 24th Street.

Melo runs general contracting through its in-house construction arm, which is part of why the firm has held delivery dates more reliably than many Miami developers through the post-2021 cycle.

The architect is Arquitectonica, the Miami-based firm co-founded in 1977 by Bernardo Fort-Brescia, Laurinda Spear, Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, and Hervin Romney. Arquitectonica is the most prolific designer of large-scale Miami residential towers; the firm also designed the South Tower at Aria Reserve.

MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique designed the residence interiors and shared the curation responsibility for the amenity spaces.

Architecture and Design

The North Tower is a 62-story slab oriented broadside to Biscayne Bay, with a zig-zag glass facade that breaks the elevation into a series of bay-window-style bays. The architecture move is functional: by zig-zagging the curtain wall, Arquitectonica gives each residence at least two exposures and a wider apparent view corridor than a flat curtain wall would.

The two towers are joined at the base by a multi-level parking podium topped with a landscaped 2-acre amenity deck and connected by a glass skybridge.

Programmatic specs:

• 62 stories, approximately 649 feet tall
• 10-foot ceilings in residences
• 11-foot-deep private terraces (notable depth for a Miami tower; most competitors run 6-8 feet)
• Italkraft European cabinetry
• Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance package
• Floor-to-ceiling impact glass
• Private elevator foyers in most homes
• Flow-through floor plates in most units, capturing east bay and west sunset views

The Residences

The North Tower stacks 391 condominiums across a sequence of residence collections:

• Panoramic Residences (floors 3-56) -- one- to four-bedroom plans, the bulk of the tower
• Skyview Villas (floors 47-56) -- larger combined plans
• Penthouse Residences (floors 57-59) -- penthouse-floor inventory
• Tri-Level Penthouse Mansions (floors 60-62) -- only three units, 7,790 to 8,385 sf, seven bedrooms each, private rooftop pools, summer kitchens, dining rooms, and cabana bathrooms

Residence sizes run roughly 1,059 to 3,300+ sf for the main tower, with the Penthouse Mansion collection topping out near 8,400 sf.

Pricing on resale and remaining sponsor inventory has run roughly $1.1M to $4.5M for the main tower, with Penthouse Mansions reported from approximately $9M. The original sales launch ran from a lower price band as Aria Reserve's site sold in 2021-22.

Beyond standard pre-construction risk, the most distinctive program feature is the rental policy: minimum three-month stays, up to four times per year. That puts Aria Reserve in the "snowbird-friendly but not nightly-rental" tier -- a deliberate filter against short-term-rental operator demand and the wear-and-tear cadence those programs impose on amenities.

Amenities

The amenity program spans more than two acres, split between a Bay Level at the water's edge and an elevated Garden Level on top of the parking podium.

Bay Level (waterfront)

• Private marina with paddle-board and kayak launch
• Water sports center
• Waterfront cafe and restaurant overlooking the bay
• Direct access to the Edgewater Baywalk

Garden Level (elevated, ~2 acres)

• Semi-Olympic lap pool
• Recreational pool and kids' splash pad
• Whirlpool spa and private solarium decks
• Meditation garden with fire pit over the bay
• Tennis court, paddleball courts, half-basketball court
• Mini-golf course
• Children's playground
• Dog park and pet grooming station
• BBQ and dining area

Sky Lobby (indoor)

• Lounge area, wine cellar room, business center
• High-tech fitness center with cardio and strength zones
• Yoga lounge, wellness spa, sauna, steam room
• Club room
• Kids' playroom
• Movie theater and screening room
• Teen lounge / game room
• 24-hour attended front desk

The split between a ground-level marina-and-water-sports program and an elevated garden deck is the project's defining amenity move -- you don't usually see both at a single Miami tower.

How Aria Reserve North Compares

Edgewater pre-construction breaks into three buckets right now: the bayfront twin-tower flagships, the smaller bay-block boutique towers, and the inland mid-rise condo product.

Distinctions for Aria Reserve North specifically:

• Most flow-through floor plates in the market. The zig-zag facade and slab orientation give a high share of residences two exposures.
• 11-foot terraces. Deeper than the Miami norm of 6-8 feet.
• 3-month minimum rental floor. Filters short-term rental demand and preserves amenity condition.
• 2-acre amenity deck plus bay-level marina. Few competitors run both at this scale.
• Pricing skews mid-tier. Entry inventory has run around $1.1M -- below the branded-bayfront tier (Edition, Missoni) but with a comparable amenity load.

The Neighborhood

Edgewater is the bayfront residential corridor immediately north of Downtown Miami. The neighborhood has shifted from a primarily commercial / mid-rise apartment block through the 2000s into one of Miami's most active high-rise residential pipelines over the last decade.

Parks and waterfront

• Margaret Pace Park -- 8 acres, tennis, basketball, dog park, jogging path
• Edgewater Baywalk -- the still-completing public waterfront promenade

Dining and retail (walkable or short drive)

• Salty Donut at the Wynwood / Edgewater border
• Sapore di Mare, Klaw Miami, Amara at Paraiso, Casa Tua Cucina
• Cafes and restaurants along Biscayne Boulevard
• Wynwood and the Design District -- a short walk or 5-minute drive inland

Culture and major venues

• Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts -- the city's flagship performing arts venue, a few blocks south
• Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) -- Museum Park, ~5 minutes south
• Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science -- Museum Park
• Kaseya Center (Miami Heat) -- downtown, walkable for fit residents

Connectivity

• I-195 / Julia Tuttle Causeway -- direct to Miami Beach, ~10 minutes
• MacArthur Causeway -- to South Beach, 10-15 minutes
• Metromover -- the free people-mover loop connects to Brickell, Downtown, Park West
• MiamiCentral Brightline station -- ~10 minutes south by car
• Miami International Airport -- ~20 minutes via I-195

Buyer Fit

Aria Reserve North is a fit for:

• Buyers who specifically want direct Biscayne Bay frontage without paying Brickell or Miami Beach branded pricing
• Seasonal owners and snowbirds comfortable with a 3-month-minimum rental policy
• Owners who want flow-through views -- sunrise over the bay, sunset over the skyline
• Boaters who want marina, paddleboard, and kayak launch on-site
• Families using the tennis, mini-golf, splash pad, and kids' playroom amenity stack
• Buyers cross-shopping mid-tier Edgewater bayfront against Brickell waterfront towers

It's probably not the right fit for:

• Short-term-rental investors -- the 3-month-minimum policy filters out daily/weekly rental cash flow
• Buyers who want an Ocean Drive / Collins beachfront address rather than a bayfront tower
• Anyone who wants a boutique building -- this is a 391-unit tower at scale

Risks for Pre-Construction Buyers

• Late-stage delivery. As of mid-2026, the tower is in the final fit-out and TCO phase. Final closing logistics, punch lists, and amenity activation are still in progress -- expect a closing-window experience rather than a long pre-construction hold.
• Resale dynamics on a 391-unit tower. Larger inventory means more comparable listings on the resale market. Track Aria Reserve South's resale velocity as the closest tell for North.
• HOA carrying cost. Two-acre amenity decks, marinas, and 24-hour staffed lobbies are not cheap to operate. Underwrite the HOA against the project's projected operating budget.
• Rental policy enforcement. The 3-month-minimum policy is only as good as the building's enforcement. Confirm enforcement provisions in the condo documents.
