Melo's biggest bet on Edgewater

Biscayne 18 occupies a 1.57-acre block bounded by Biscayne Boulevard, NE 18th Street, NE 4th Avenue and NE 19th Street — land Melo Group assembled in 2019. Two 46-story towers rise 465 feet above an eight-level parking podium, wrapped in residential units to hide the garage.

The plan totals 1,178 rental apartments, 589 in each tower, alongside roughly 24,930 square feet of ground-floor retail and 1,472 parking spaces. Designed by G3AEC, with construction estimated at $321 million. Margaret Pace Park and the bay are two blocks east.

Why this building

What makes Biscayne 18 worth tracking

01The Melo playbook

The same developer behind Downtown 1st, Downtown 5th, Downtown 6, Art Plaza, Square Station and Melody Towers — known for pricing below flashier competition and leasing up fast.

02Bigger than Downtown 5th

At 1,178 units, Biscayne 18 would exceed Melo's 1,042-unit Downtown 5th as their largest single development.

03Years ahead of the crowd

Permits were filed in 2026 and the project is nearing groundbreaking. Nobody is publishing rents yet — that is exactly why this list exists.
