A pre-construction condominium involves more names than a finished one. At EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater the developer, the architect, the interior designer and the hotel operator are four different organizations, and the marketing mixes them together.
This page separates them, based on the developer's own materials, and ends with what to check before a deposit.
Who is the developer of EDITION Residences, Miami Edgewater?
The condominium is developed by TRD Biscayne LLC, which is affiliated with Two Roads Development. The developer's materials name Taylor Collins, Jim Harpel and Reid Boren. The developer is the party that builds the tower, collects your deposits and signs your purchase agreement, which makes it the party whose track record matters most.
The residences are not owned, developed or sold by Marriott International or its affiliates. The EDITION name is used under a license from Marriott, and that is stated in the developer's own disclosure. When you read the contract, the seller is the developer entity, not the hotel company.
Who designed the tower and the interiors?
Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica designed the architecture, a 55-story, 649-foot glass tower. Studio Munge, led by Alessandro Munge, designed the interiors, including the finishes inside each residence and the amenity spaces. Arquitectonica is a Miami-founded firm, so the tower is the work of a designer who knows the skyline.
The residences have floor-to-ceiling glass with sliding doors to the terrace and 10-foot ceilings. The renderings on this site are the developer's artist's conceptual renderings and are subject to change. Finishes in the delivered home are set by your purchase agreement and the specifications it attaches.

EDITION Hotels manages and operates the building after delivery. That means it hires and runs the staff, including a dedicated residential leader and 24-hour butler, doorman, porter, security and valet, and arranges a la carte services. Marriott licenses the EDITION name and offers owners access to its luxury residences hotel reservation service.
The operator's role starts at delivery, not before. Construction, the schedule and your deposit are the developer's responsibility. The developer presents the building as the first private EDITION residence building. If that is right, there is no earlier EDITION-run residence building to judge, so the best way to see the service is to stay at an EDITION hotel and talk to the staff.
Marriott offers and sets the owner benefit terms and can modify or end them. The developer's sheet states a validity window, so confirm the current terms before relying on them.
How do I check a developer before putting down a deposit?
Ask for the developer's completed projects and visit them, ask who the construction lender is and what stage financing is at, read the escrow and deposit section of the purchase agreement, and have an attorney review the prospectus. Then compare the construction timeline to the deposit schedule, since the second payment is tied to groundbreaking.
- Completed projects: names, locations and delivery dates, and whether the developer built them itself or as a partner.
- Financing and permits: where construction financing and permits stand. Ask in writing; a pre-sales project does not need them in place to sell.
- Deposits: who holds them, and whether the contract allows any to be used for construction.
- Documents: the prospectus, the purchase agreement and the condominium documents, read by your attorney.
