✦The Rundown
Aria Reserve is a twin-tower luxury waterfront condominium complex at 700 and 725 NE 24th Street in Edgewater, developed by the Melo Group and designed by Arquitectonica. The two 62-story towers share a parking structure and a massive amenity deck spanning over two acres, with 782 total residences across both towers. The South Tower (725 NE 24th St) was completed in 2025 with closings recently begun. The North Tower (700 NE 24th St) is finishing construction and will deliver in 2026. Together, they form the tallest waterfront residential twin towers in the United States, rising against 547 linear feet of Biscayne Bay waterfront across more than five acres of manicured grounds. This is Melo Group's most refined project to date. The units are large, with flow-through designs that give every residence both east-facing bay views and west-facing sunset views. Panoramic Residences on floors 3 through 50 feature 10-foot ceilings, while SkyView Residences on floors 51 through 56 have 11-foot ceilings. All units include space for an office, den, or media room, and all bedrooms are en-suite. The finishes are a step above what Melo has delivered in previous projects, with Italian flooring, MORADA Haute Furniture Boutique-inspired interiors, and oversized balconies. The product sits in a mid-to-upper luxury tier: below what you would find from PMG or Swire, but a clear step above Related Group projects. The amenity deck is the real headline. It is massive, spanning two-plus acres and including multiple pools, paddle courts, a resort-size fitness center, sauna, steam rooms, a co-working space, community dining areas, kitchen demonstration facilities, a private dock for water sports, and a Bay Walk along the waterfront. The amenities are well-done and spacious, and the amenity-to-resident ratio is strong for a building of this scale. HOA fees tend to be lower than at branded buildings, which is a meaningful long-term financial advantage. The building will take time to find its identity and sense of community as closings continue and residents move in, but the bones are there for a strong long-term residential experience.
Aria Reserve is a very good option if you want a new-construction waterfront building in Edgewater with incredible bay views, an expansive amenity suite, and larger-than-normal units at a price point that does not require ultra-luxury money. Melo Group has delivered their most refined product yet, and the two-plus-acre amenity deck is genuinely impressive for the price. The HOAs are lower than branded buildings. The flow-through floor plans are smart, giving every unit both bay and sunset views. The views are outstanding. Just know what you are getting into: this is a 782-unit mega-project that will take time to find its identity, there is a third tower (Rs Sky Club) coming that will bring more construction, and Edgewater's traffic and flooding realities apply here just as they do everywhere else in the neighborhood. If you can live with those trade-offs, Aria Reserve is one of the best value propositions for new construction in Edgewater.
✦ Ask Chris AI about Aria ReserveWho Lives Here
Aria Reserve is attracting a mix of young professionals, growing families, and international buyers drawn to the new-construction premium and the scale of the amenity package. The price point positions it above entry-level Edgewater buildings but below the ultra-luxury tier of Elysee or Paramount Bay. As closings continue and both towers fill up, the resident base is still forming its identity. Expect a mix of owner-occupants and investors, with a meaningful rental component given the building's rental-friendly policies. The 782-unit scale means this will have a different feel than the boutique buildings in the neighborhood. It will be busier, more active, and more resort-like in its common areas.
The Neighborhood
Aria Reserve occupies a prominent waterfront position in upper Edgewater at NE 24th Street, with 547 linear feet of Biscayne Bay frontage. The location is quieter than downtown or Brickell but still within easy reach of Miami's major cultural and entertainment destinations. Biscayne Boulevard, the neighborhood's commercial spine, is a few blocks west with restaurants, shops, and services. The area is in the middle of a significant development boom that is reshaping the Edgewater skyline.

◆ What's Changing
Aria Reserve itself is part of the development story. The North Tower is completing construction in 2026, and Melo Group has announced a third tower, Rs Sky Club, to be built to the west of the current parking and amenity deck, with construction expected to begin within the next two years. This means residents should expect continued construction activity on the property itself for several more years. Beyond the immediate complex, Edgewater continues to see new luxury tower proposals and construction throughout the neighborhood. The Bay Walk extension is planned to improve waterfront connectivity. Long-term, the density and quality of the neighborhood is increasing, which should support property values.
