Another residential tower designed under Florida’s Live Local Act is moving forward in Miami, this time in the Edgewater neighborhood. Tulip Developments Group’s planned 47-story high-rise at 3350 Biscayne Boulevard is scheduled for review by the city’s Urban Development Review Board on October 15. The project marks another Live Local Act tower with Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design serving as the architect, which also designed the recently filed 55-story Live Local tower proposed in Overtown. Kimley-Horn serves as the landscape architect, and Zephyr Engineering is the civil engineer.
The development spans 0.85 acres across multiple parcels at 3350 Biscayne Boulevard and 234, 242, 250, 254, 264, and 272 NE 34th Street.

Rising 536 feet, the mixed-use tower will total 752,802 square feet and feature 499 residential units, 5,555 square feet of ground-floor retail, 3,117 square feet of restaurant space on the 45th floor, and 620 parking spaces following a 20 percent reduction. The structure’s podium-and-tower composition will activate Biscayne Boulevard with transparent façades, shaded walkways, and landscaped frontage designed to enhance the pedestrian experience.

Of the 499 residences, 203 units will be designated as workforce housing under the Live Local Act, reserved for households earning up to 120 percent of the area median income. These include 196 studios averaging 523 square feet and seven one-bedroom apartments averaging 658 square feet, located on the lower floors. The upper portion of the tower will contain 296 market-rate condominiums, including 161 one-bedroom, 81 two-bedroom, and 54 three-bedroom layouts ranging from 831 to 1,185 square feet. Amenities will occupy the second, ninth, and tenth floors, featuring a landscaped pool deck and social lounges.

According to the architectural narrative, the design unifies two adjacent parcels into a single, cohesive urban form that enhances the pedestrian realm and contributes to Miami’s evolving skyline. Sustainability and resilience are emphasized throughout, with native landscaping, passive shading systems, and integrated stormwater management. Parking and service areas will be fully enclosed within the podium and screened by habitable liner spaces in compliance with Miami 21 standards.

When the project received initial approval earlier this year, Tulip Developments emphasized the value unlocked through the Live Local Act. “By leveraging the Live Local Act, we’ve unlocked significant development potential while aligning with Miami’s housing goals,” said Ofir Gabriel, partner at Tulip Developments. “It’s a win for the city, for future residents, and for our investors.”

As with other recent Live Local proposals across Miami, including the 55-story tower planned in Overtown, 3350 Biscayne underscores how developers are increasingly utilizing the state law’s incentives for height and density in exchange for attainable housing.
