Villa Miami is what happens when the team behind CARBONE decides to build a residential tower. Major Food Group’s first-ever branded residence, developed with Terra and One Thousand Group at 710 NE 29th Street, is a 56-story, 650-foot copper-clad landmark holding just 70 half- and full-floor estate residences. The pitch is unapologetically hospitality-driven: a three-level private Copper Club, a ground-floor MFG waterfront restaurant with VIP resident access, a rooftop helipad, and Edgewater’s only private boat dock. Villa Miami pairs interiors by AD100 designer Vicky Charles and architecture by ODP Architects, with completion targeted for late 2027.

Villa Miami: The Restaurant Group Behind CARBONE Builds a Tower
Branded residences usually borrow a fashion or hotel name. Here the brand is taste itself: Major Food Group’s restaurants define a certain New York-Miami social world, and the tower is designed to import that world into residents’ daily lives: priority seating at the waterfront restaurant, private chef services, programming with a culinary point of view. For Villa Miami, it is a differentiated bet in a neighborhood full of architecturally ambitious but hospitality-light towers.
Estate Living Above Biscayne Bay
Seventy residences in a 650-foot tower is an extraordinary ratio. Most Edgewater towers fit five to ten times that many homes in the same height. The development pedigree supports the ambition: Terra’s portfolio includes Grove at Grand Bay, the Bjarke Ingels-designed Coconut Grove landmark, while One Thousand Group delivered 1000 Museum, Zaha Hadid’s Downtown Miami tower. Against fellow bayfront flagships like Aria Reserve, this tower’s argument is simple: fewer neighbors, more service.

Living at Villa Miami puts Edgewater’s best tables within a short drive. Klaw, a World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants pick, and Casadonna, both in the historic Women’s Club building on North Bayshore Drive, anchor the splurge tier at $$$$, with Klaw holding Edgewater’s only rooftop and Casadonna’s weekend brunch a local favorite. A few minutes north, Mandolin Aegean Bistro in the Design District serves Aegean small plates in a garden courtyard ($$$, book ahead). For daily life, the Publix on NE 1st Avenue and the Whole Foods on Biscayne Boulevard cover groceries. Margaret Pace Park is the waterfront go-to for morning runs and weekend picnics, while the Frost Museum of Science and PAMM sit a short drive south at Museum Park. Buyers comparing pre-construction on the bayfront should also look at Cove Miami down the street and the boutique Spectre Miami.
Villa Miami Frequently Asked Questions
❯ What is Major Food Group’s actual role?
This is MFG’s first residential project, and their involvement goes beyond a name license: they shape the culinary programming, the residents’ dining experience, and the interior sensibilities. Expect the hospitality standards of their restaurants, CARBONE, ZZ’s Club, Sadelle’s, applied to daily building life.
❯ How many residences does Villa Miami have?
Just 70: half- and full-floor estate-style residences with three to five bedrooms, ranging from roughly 3,000 to 6,000 square feet. With so few homes in a 650-foot tower, privacy and exclusivity are the product, not density.
❯ What is the Copper Club?
A three-level private amenity suite with dining rooms, lounges, a screening room, salon, and wellness facilities: essentially a members’ club stacked inside the tower, programmed with MFG’s hospitality touch.
❯ Is there really a helipad and a boat dock?
Yes to both. The rooftop helipad allows arrival by helicopter, and the private boat dock is described as Edgewater’s only one. Two arrival modes that no neighboring tower can match.
❯ What do residences cost?
Pricing starts at $5 million, with the crown penthouse, a fully finished “estate in the sky,” unveiled at $55 million. This is firmly ultra-luxury territory, competing with Miami’s top branded residences.
❯ When will Villa Miami be completed?
Late 2027 is the target; the tower passed its 37th floor in 2026. Terra and One Thousand Group secured a $285 million construction loan, with Moss Construction as general contractor. Financing and builder are in place, which de-risks the timeline.
