Edge House Development Exposes Miami Zoning Code Loopholes

Edgewater residents accuse the Edge House developer of using zoning loopholes to market a short-term rental tower as condos.

A construction project in Edgewater has been causing disruptions to nearby residents, with noise from the site being a major issue. By 6 a.m., a steady mechanical hum can be heard in bedrooms at Quantum on the Bay, due to the Edge House construction on the other side of the alley.

The developer proposed a Good Neighbor Agreement, which would have allowed 5 a.m. concrete pours under a city noise waiver, in exchange for token concessions such as debris netting and pool-deck cleanings. However, none of the closest buildings signed on to the agreement.

The proposal looked less like a gesture of goodwill and more like a developer tactic to secure waivers while sidestepping the real disruptions residents are already experiencing.
