Edgewood 22 wears its thesis in its name: a fusion of Edgewater and Wynwood, the two neighborhoods whose energy this proposed tower wants to bottle. The plan calls for a 20-story, 241-foot building with 160 residences at 2140 NE 2nd Avenue, rising on the site of a Midas auto parts store built as recently as 2019, a telling snapshot of how fast this corridor is turning over. Developed by Edgewood 22 LLC under Brooklyn-based Nahman Lichtenstein and designed by Zyscovich Architects, the project is currently under review by Miami’s Urban Development Review Board.

Edgewood 22: From Midas to Modern Tower
There is something poetic about a 2019 auto parts store giving way to a 20-story residential tower. It captures Edgewater’s velocity: parcels that were viable commercial uses five years ago are now worth more as vertical housing. If approved, this project becomes another data point in the neighborhood’s rapid densification along the NE 2nd Avenue corridor.
Edgewater Meets Wynwood
The positioning matters. Pure Edgewater towers sell the bay; Wynwood-adjacent projects sell culture. By claiming both, this proposal targets buyers priced out of the waterfront flagships (Villa Miami, Aria Reserve) who still want new construction within reach of both worlds. Whether the UDRB-approved final product keeps that dual identity is the open question.
Edgewood 22’s dual identity shows in the daily map. Wynwood Walls is a short walk west, and the Design District sits minutes north, where Mandolin Aegean Bistro’s garden courtyard does Aegean plates at $$$ and Bunbury, OpenTable’s Diners’ Choice pick at 4.9 stars, handles the $$$$ nights. Margaret Pace Park is the closest waterfront green, about a mile east. Groceries come from the Publix on NE 1st Avenue or the Whole Foods on Biscayne Boulevard. The Frost Museum of Science and PAMM are an easy drive south for family weekends. Buyers weighing Edgewater options should compare Edge House Miami across the neighborhood and the bayfront Aria Reserve Skyclub proposal.
