A utility deal for water and sewer connections has been signed with the City of Miami for 710 Edge, a 55-story ultra-luxury residential high-rise planned for 710 Northeast 29th Street in Edgewater, Miami. Designed by ODP Architecture & Design and developed by 710 Edge LLC—a joint venture partnership between One Thousand Museum developers Kevin Venger, Louis Birdman, Michael Konig, and real estate developer Alex Posth, the newly signed deal includes connections for 100 residential units and 31,418 square feet (2,918 square meters) of retail. The developers executed the deal on August 28, 2022.

The utility deal reveals a major increase in the residential count and retail space compared to the initial plans included in last year’s UDRB filing, which proposed the project with 70 units and 13,037 square feet (1,211 square meters) of retail space. The building is planned to rise 646-feet (196 meters) or 649 feet above sea level, over a 0.47-acre (0.19-hectare) site according to building permits filed with the FAA in 2021.

Demolition permits were filed for existing residential buildings at 530 and 710 Northeast 29th Streets between the end of July and the beginning of August to make way for the new tower. Dade Wrecker Service LLC is listed as the contractor for both jobs, with an estimated total cost of US$176,000 for both sites. Developers also applied for permits to install four-foot (1.2-meter-high) walls/fences around the property; Hma Mngmt Corp Ceros Fence Corp is listed as the contractor. Both permits are still under review by the Department of Buildings.
