Villa Miami

About the Project

Villa Miami stands as the most ambitious project in the career of Terra Group CEO David Martin, who has spent over two decades reshaping Miami's skyline alongside his father and co-founder Pedro Martin. Established in 2001, Terra has delivered more than five million square feet of residential and commercial real estate valued above eight billion dollars, with landmark projects ranging from Five Park Miami Beach to Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove. For Villa Miami, Terra joined forces with One Thousand Group — the firm co-founded by Kevin Venger and Louis Birdman, the partnership previously responsible for One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid — alongside their partner Michael Konig. Together they recruited Major Food Group, the culinary empire behind Carbone, ZZ's Club, and some of the most culturally significant restaurants in New York, as a founding partner in the development itself, not merely a tenant. The project secured a 85 million construction loan, and Moss Construction is executing the build. For David Martin, Villa Miami represents a deliberate step beyond his previous work: a tower where hospitality is not an amenity layer but the organizing principle of the entire project.

Rising 56 stories and 650 feet above Biscayne Bay at 710 NE 29th Street in Edgewater, Villa Miami is among the tallest residential towers in Miami's history. The design by ODP Architecture & Design gives the building its most recognizable feature: a cast bronze exoskeleton wrapped around a crystalline glass core, the copper-toned structural lattice visible from across the bay and instantly distinguishable on the skyline. At the base, a multifaceted gemstone-inspired glass podium houses the building's full amenity program and its bayfront restaurant. Construction began in earnest in late 2024 following a ceremonial groundbreaking, and by March 2026 the superstructure had passed the halfway mark at approximately 28 floors above its waterfront site. Completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027. The location on the eastern edge of Edgewater places residents on the waterfront directly facing Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach, with Wynwood and the Design District each within minutes and Brickell reachable in under fifteen.

Villa Miami introduces a collection of exactly 70 residences, each occupying either a half floor or a full floor, with no more than two homes sharing any given level. Half-floor residences begin at approximately 3,267 square feet and are priced from .5 million; full-floor homes exceed 6,000 square feet and are priced from approximately .5 million. Crowning the tower is a triplex penthouse of more than 15,000 square feet, listed at 5 million and delivered fully finished and designed — a turn-key estate in the sky with a private rooftop infinity pool and dedicated wellness spaces. Every residence arrives with a private entry foyer, soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and expansive sunrise and sunset terraces. Interiors were conceived by AD100 designer Vicky Charles of Charles & Co., whose European sensibility draws on the proportions and warmth of mid-century Italian villas while grounding the palette in Miami's light and color. Kitchens were co-designed with Major Food Group co-founder Mario Carbone and are fitted with bespoke CornuFé ranges, Wolf appliances, pasta sinks, and custom millwork — functional works of art that reflect Carbone's obsession with the ritual of cooking.

Major Food Group's presence at Villa Miami extends far beyond a restaurant partnership. The group operates the building's entire food and beverage program, provides estate manager services to residents, and conceptualized The Copper Club — the tower's three-floor, resident-only amenity suite occupying levels three through five of the podium. The Copper Club brings together private dining rooms, resident lounges, a dedicated screening room, and a full wellness floor, all managed and staffed by MFG. On the ground floor, facing directly onto Biscayne Bay, a two-level MFG waterfront restaurant serves as the building's public-facing culinary anchor, conceived as an Italian-inspired dining experience with bayfront terraces and private dining rooms exclusively for residents who always have a reservation. This integration of a world-class restaurant group into the operational fabric of a residential tower — not as a branding exercise but as a co-developer — is without precedent in Miami's condominium market and is central to Villa Miami's identity as a project.

The amenity program at Villa Miami encompasses the full spectrum of ultra-luxury residential services. The building features the only private boat dock in Edgewater, providing direct access to Biscayne Bay for residents with vessels. A rooftop helipad with adjacent heli lounge serves those arriving or departing by air. The bayfront infinity pool overlooks open water, and the wellness program within The Copper Club includes a spa, full fitness center, and an entire dedicated wellness floor. Residents have access to an off-site branded beach club, extending the building's footprint to Miami Beach. Estate managers — on-call hospitality professionals drawn from the MFG service model — handle everything from reservations and provisioning to private event coordination. A private vault is available for the secure storage of valuables. Taken together, the amenity stack is designed to eliminate the friction between a resident and whatever they need, at any hour.

Edgewater has undergone a fundamental transformation over the past decade, evolving from an overlooked stretch of bayfront between Downtown and Wynwood into one of Miami's most sought-after addresses for high-net-worth buyers. Its waterfront land is now among the scarcest in the city, and the neighborhood's proximity to the Design District, the Pérez Art Museum, and the Wynwood arts corridor gives it a cultural density that Brickell and Miami Beach cannot replicate. Villa Miami sits at the waterfront edge of this neighborhood, occupying a site with unobstructed bay views that only a handful of Edgewater parcels can offer. With 65 percent of residences reportedly pre-sold prior to the tower reaching its structural midpoint, demand has validated the project's thesis: that buyers at this price level will pay a significant premium not just for the views and the square footage, but for the quality of daily life that a fully integrated hospitality partner can deliver. In a market crowded with luxury towers, Villa Miami has staked out a genuinely differentiated position.
