Opera Tower · #5505

Opera Tower is a 56-story Edgewater condominium at 1750 N Bayshore Drive, developed by Florida East Coast Realty and designed by Corradino Group Architects. The tower was completed in 2007 and contains 635 residential units in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations, with interior floor plans ranging from 503 to 1,048 square feet plus balcony. Opera Tower's elliptical massing sits perpendicular to Biscayne Bay, an orientation that gives roughly half the units direct bay exposure and the remainder a Miami skyline view. The building permits flexible short-term leases, a policy that has kept Opera Tower one of the most active rental nodes in Edgewater for both Airbnb-style stays and longer corporate accommodations. The 56-story height also makes Opera one of the tallest buildings on the Bayshore strip, with upper-floor units carrying a view premium that extends well across the bay. The 1750 Bayshore address places Opera Tower at the southern end of the Edgewater corridor, on the boundary with the Arts and Entertainment District and within walking distance of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Margaret Pace Park, and the Omni Metromover stop. Brickell and downtown Miami sit roughly 10 minutes south, the Miami Design District is a five-minute drive north along NE 2nd Avenue, and Wynwood's gallery row is a short ride west across Biscayne Boulevard. The MacArthur Causeway runs directly into South Beach, which residents can reach in under 15 minutes, and Midtown Miami's retail node is five minutes north. The Opera Tower amenity deck is sized to its 635-unit footprint. Residents have access to a swimming pool, whirlpool spas, a fitness center, a clubroom, a business center, 24-hour concierge service, and ground-floor commercial space that includes a convenience store, dry cleaners, hair salon, and a restaurant. Covered parking is assigned, and the Opera Tower combination of small unit sizes, transit access, and short-term rental flexibility has made the building a frequent entry-level position for investors building Miami rental portfolios. HOA dues at Opera include water, cable, and amenity access, and the ground-floor commercial bay lets residents handle dry cleaning, groceries, and dining without leaving the property.
