Moss Construction has been awarded the construction of Villa Miami, a groundbreaking luxury waterfront development in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. Set to break ground in the summer of 2024, Villa marks the first-ever collaboration between Major Food Group, David Martin’s Terra and One Thousand Group.
“We’re thrilled to work with Moss Construction on another landmark project,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra. “Villa Miami meets the demand for a luxury condominium tower with full and half-floor vertical residences in a boutique environment. Terra has a proven history of enriching neighborhoods across South Florida and Villa will do the same for Edgewater.”
Situated at 710 NE 29 St., Villa Miami will stand as a 56-story, 650-foot-tall architectural marvel. Envisioned by ODP Architects under the leadership of rising star Kurt Dannwolf, its distinctive copper color-cladded exoskeletal design promises to make it an iconic tower. Global structural design firm DeSimone—whose more than 10,000 building designs include the most recognizable high-rises in New York and Miami—will engineer the impressive structure.
“Villa Miami is an elegantly stunning concept, and Moss is thrilled to be part of the Terra team once again. We eagerly anticipate the groundbreaking and the realization of this unparalleled residential experience which will change Miami’s skyline,” said Ed Baro, Executive Vice President of Moss.
The project’s interior design is led by Vicky Charles of Charles & Co., known for her work as former design director at Soho House and for commissions for the likes of Sony Music, Goop, George and Amal Clooney, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis as well as David and Victoria Beckham.
Renowned landscape architect Enzo Enea is at the forefront of Villa Miami’s green design, incorporating native plants seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Moss Construction, under the guidance of Brett Atkinson, brings its wealth of experience, particularly in luxury high-rise developments, having successfully collaborated with David Martin’s Terra on recent projects like the topped-out Five Park Miami Beach set to deliver this year.
Villa Miami will offer 72 exclusive full and half-floor residences, epitomizing vertical estate-style living with 360-degree water views. Residents will enjoy a plethora of amenities including Major Domo estate manager service, a rooftop helipad, poolside service, spa and wellness facilities, access to a branded beach club, and a fully serviced elevated pool deck. Additionally, the tower will boast an on-site MFG restaurant with private lounge spaces, offering residents preferred reservations, provisioning and access to at-home MFG chef services
Douglas Elliman is the exclusive sales and marketing partner for the project.
