Aria on the Bay · #2009

Aria on the Bay is a 53-story luxury condominium tower at 488 NE 18th Street in Edgewater, Miami, completed in 2018 directly along the Biscayne Bay waterfront and adjacent to Margaret Pace Park. The building was developed by Miami-based Melo Group and designed by Arquitectonica, whose curved glass facade and signature semi-circular balconies -- a nod to the geometry of classical opera houses -- maximize unobstructed views east across Biscayne Bay to Miami Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Aria on the Bay contains 648 residences across one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans plus penthouses, all with nine-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, 32-by-32 porcelain flooring, white quartz countertops, Italian Italkraft cabinets, and Bosch stainless appliances. The 488 NE 18th Street address sits on the western shore of Biscayne Bay in Edgewater, an 85-Walk-Score neighborhood that has become one of Miami's fastest-growing residential corridors. Margaret Pace Park -- an 8-acre Biscayne Bay-front public park with tennis courts, a dog park, sand volleyball, and a fitness loop -- is one block north. Wynwood, the Miami Design District, Midtown Miami, and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts are within a five- to ten-minute drive, the Venetian Causeway and South Beach are a ten-minute drive east, and Downtown Miami, the Kaseya Center, and PortMiami sit just south on Biscayne Boulevard. The Brightline MiamiCentral station provides direct rail access to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando. The Aria on the Bay amenity program is anchored by twin sunrise and sunset pools framed by a hot tub overlooking Biscayne Bay, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a dedicated yoga studio, a spa with massage treatment area, a private movie theater, an outdoor fire pit, a summer kitchen with BBQ pavilion, a great room with pool tables and flat-screens, a business center with conference room, a teen lounge, a kids' playroom, and 24-hour concierge with complimentary Wi-Fi in common areas. Service at Aria on the Bay includes valet parking, attended lobby, and on-site management, making the tower one of the defining Edgewater luxury condos for buyers seeking modern Biscayne Bay views, large-scale amenities, and proximity to Miami's cultural core.
