Terra, One Thousand Group, and Major Food Group (MFG) have broken ground on Villa Miami, a luxury tower that will be the first condominium branded by the renowned hospitality company. The copper-cladded 56-story tower is set to rise above East Edgewater’s exclusive bayfront with a limited collection of half- and full-floor residences.
“Our thesis for Villa Miami merges world-class design, culinary excellence, and the finest living standards,” says David Martin, CEO of Terra. “This project elevates the luxury condo market while embracing a low-density approach that enhances exclusivity. With just 70 residences, Villa Miami offers our residents an elevated sense of privacy, allowing them to experience the feeling of ‘homes in the sky’ where the social spaces serve as natural extensions of their personal living spaces."
Seawall work for Villa Miami started in September, and the tower, being built by Moss Construction, is slated for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2027.
“This groundbreaking marks a significant milestone in our entry into the luxury residential market,” says Jeff Zalaznick, co-founder of MFG. “Every aspect of this project reflects our shared vision and meticulous attention to detail. From the amenities and culinary offerings to the design elements and even the smallest touches, like bathroom sinks and kitchen finishes, our involvement has been deeply personal. This is more than just a building—it’s a celebration of MFG’s passion, precision, and unmatched quality.”
Villa Miami, which was designed by ODP Architects, will serve as an architectural 650-foot landmark within the East Edgewater neighborhood, offering residents access to Miami’s top cultural, shopping, and dining destinations, including the Miami Design District, Wynwood, and Midtown. Residents will also have panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach.
“We’re thrilled to break ground on Villa Miami with an extraordinary team of designers, architects, builders, and partners,” says Kevin Venger of One Thousand Group. “Working with Vicky Charles and Kurt Dannwolf at One Thousand Museum, redefined Miami’s ultra-luxury condo landscape and architectural skyline. Now, we’re excited to collaborate with both of them to create another landmark that will elevate the Edgewater neighborhood and Biscayne Bay.”
As MFG’s first-ever residential project, Villa Miami is expected to provide an unmatched hospitality experience, expertly curating resident-only amenities that embody the group's signature style of decadence and white-glove service.
The Copper Club, an exclusive three-floor private club for residents, will comprise the building’s entire amenity suite and create a curated lifestyle. The club will boast private dining rooms, lounges, a screening room, a hair salon, and more, while the rooftop helipad and lounge, elevated pool deck, yacht club, and wellness facilities complete MFG’s first resident-only club offering. Villa Miami will also be home to a new MFG waterfront restaurant on the ground floor, where residents will have priority seating.
Villa Miami is the first venture into a collaboration between hospitality veterans MFG and interior designer Vicky Charles of Charles & Co., who collaborated closely to perfect the residential and hospitality environments. Villa Miami marks Charles’ debut Miami condominium project; she is known for her work with A-list celebrity clients and bespoke international estates.
