The Crimson
A LEED Gold-certified boutique tower with Nordic-inspired architecture, 240 feet of bay frontage, and only 90 residences. The Crimson delivers high-end finishes and a tight-knit community feel without the mega-building drama.
The Rundown
The Crimson is a 20-story boutique condominium completed in 2016 at 601 NE 27th Street in central Edgewater. Developed by MCKafka and designed by award-winning IDEA Architects with interiors by world-renowned Tremblay L'ecuyer (TLA), The Crimson stands out for its distinctive Nordic-inspired architecture featuring bold colorful vertical panels on its facade. The building is LEED Gold certified, incorporating energy-efficient VRF cooling systems and environmentally responsible design throughout. With only 90 residences across 20 floors, The Crimson maintains a genuine boutique atmosphere where residents know their neighbors. Units range from one to three bedrooms spanning 791 to 1,870 square feet, with six penthouse units offering rooftop terraces and jacuzzis. The 8th-floor resort-style pool deck provides panoramic Biscayne Bay views, and the building sits on 240 linear feet of waterfront with direct bayfront boardwalk access. A landscaped 20,000-square-foot gated park, private movie theater, business center, and cyber cafe with event bar round out the amenity package. The building commands an average price per square foot of approximately $720 with HOA fees averaging $1.10 per square foot per month.
The Crimson is the kind of building that flies under the radar, and that is exactly why it works for the right buyer. You get a LEED Gold-certified boutique tower with only 90 units, high-end finishes by Tremblay L'ecuyer, 240 feet of bay frontage, and a family-friendly atmosphere where you actually know your neighbors. The 8th-floor pool deck has panoramic bay views. The units are well-sized. The VRF cooling system keeps your electric bills lower than comparable buildings. The downsides are standard Edgewater: street flooding during storms, Biscayne Boulevard traffic, and a 10-block walk to the Metromover. The incoming Villa Miami and Cove Miami projects across the cove will change the north-facing views, though they are across the water rather than directly adjacent. If you want a quiet, well-built waterfront home without the drama and politics of a 400-unit mega-tower, The Crimson is a strong pick. It is not flashy, it is not trying to be. It is just a well-executed boutique building that does what it does very well.

◆ What's Changing
Central Edgewater is in the middle of a massive development boom. Villa Miami and The Cove Miami are planned across the man-made bay to the north, which will bring construction activity for the next couple of years. Aria Reserve's twin towers are nearby and recently completed. The neighborhood is rapidly densifying, which will bring more residents, retail, and restaurants but also means ongoing construction activity in the surrounding area.
