Project overview

A 42-story residential tower in Brickell with 310 residences over a landscaped podium. Edison led cost planning from feasibility, giving Biscayne Capital Holdings a fixed budget before a single drawing was issued.

Challenge

Rising material costs and hurricane-code requirements threatened to push the build 18% over the investor model. The brief left no room to cut residence sizes or amenity space.

Solution

We re-engineered the structure around a post-tensioned flat-slab system, removing 14% of the concrete volume. Hurricane-rated glazing was procured as a single early package, locking its price 11 months ahead of installation.

Result

Delivered 4% under the approved budget, with zero change orders on the structural package. The tower sold out within 90 days of completion.
