Inside the Edgewater development courting a new generation of global buyers with flexible ownership, rental potential and a pathway to U.S. residency.
Miami real estate has long held an international appeal. But for a certain type of global buyer, owning a home in the city can represent more than a place to live or an investment opportunity. Flexibility, income potential and, in some cases, a pathway towards putting down more permanent roots in the United States are increasingly part of the conversation. Edge House Miami is one project betting on that kind of buyer.
The 57-storey residential tower, now under construction in Edgewater, marks international developer Grupo T&C’s first development in the United States. Designed by Kobi Karp with interiors by Adriana Hoyos Design Studio, Edge House will introduce 608 fully furnished residences designed with the needs of the global buyer in mind.
“From the beginning, we knew Edge House needed to reflect the way international buyers actually use real estate in Miami,” says William Ticona, General Manager of Grupo T&C. “For many of them, it is not just a second home or an investment. They want flexibility, they want a connection to the city and, increasingly, they are thinking about what it could mean to establish a more permanent presence in the U.S.”
Now, the project is adding EB-5 to the equation. Edge House qualifies for the U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, through which qualified foreign investors and their immediate family members can pursue U.S. permanent residency. The project has 80 EB-5 slots available, with participation through a US$1.05 million investment structured as a loan-based model.
There is also a deadline driving interest. Under current EB-5 regulations, petitions filed on or before September 30, 2026 are protected under the program’s grandfathering provision, meaning applications submitted by that date will continue to be processed under existing rules even if the programme changes or sunsets in 2027.
“International investors are looking at the entire picture,” says Ticona. “They want to know that construction is moving forward, that the real estate makes sense for how they plan to use it and that there is long-term value beyond the residency opportunity. The strongest projects have to deliver on all those fronts.”
The real estate itself was also designed to work differently depending on the owner. The homes are delivered fully furnished and offer short-term rental flexibility, allowing owners to balance personal use with the potential to generate rental income. Select two- and three-bedroom residences take the concept further with lockout configurations and separate entrances, allowing portions of the home to function independently.
Edge House sits in Edgewater, between Downtown Miami, Wynwood and the Design District. The neighbourhood has rapidly emerged as one of Miami’s most active luxury residential corridors, with a wave of new development transforming the
waterfront and attracting attention from buyers both in the U.S. and abroad.
The building’s amenities lean into how people are living and working in Miami today. Plans include a resort-style pool deck, wellness and fitness facilities, co-working spaces, social lounges, a putting green and a professional-grade podcast studio.

Edge House needed to reflect the way international buyers actually use real estate in Miami.
The project is also a major move for Grupo T&C itself. The company chose Edgewater as the entry point for its first U.S. development, making an early bet on a neighbourhood that has since become home to a growing collection of high-profile luxury residential projects. The broader Edgewater pipeline also includes Anantara Miami Resort & Residences, HQ Residences Miami by Sam Nazarian, Villa Miami, The Cove Residences, Aria Reserve and ELLE Residences.
Grupo T&C’s bet on Edgewater comes as the neighbourhood is attracting increasingly ambitious residential development, while Miami continues to draw capital from abroad. EB-5 adds a timely new incentive, but the appeal of Edge House still starts with the real estate: a residence owners can live in, rent out or use as part of a longer-term plan in the U.S.
For an international buyer, a Miami address has never been just one thing. Edge House was designed with that in mind.
