Missoni Baia: Edgewater's Design-House Tower

Edgewater's building boom has produced a run of glassy bayfront towers, but only one carries the name of an Italian fashion house on its first residential project in the United States. Missoni Baia rises 57 stories at 777 NE 26th Terrace, a slender, faceted tower on Biscayne Bay that pairs a fashion-brand pedigree with serious architecture. This deep-dive is drawn from our building research; current pricing and availability live on the building's listing page and in our market report at /market-stats.

The fashion house's first American address

Missoni is best known for its zigzag knitwear, and Missoni Baia is the brand's debut in U.S. real estate — the interiors take their cue from the house's palette and pattern language without turning the building into a showroom. Completed in 2022, the tower brings a European design sensibility to Edgewater, a neighborhood that has otherwise defined itself through developer-and-architect pairings rather than fashion labels. The result is one of the corridor's more distinctive addresses: a name buyers recognize attached to a building that stands on its architectural merits.

Asymptote's asymmetric tower on the bay

The design comes from Hani Rashid of Asymptote Architecture, and the defining move is the tower's asymmetric, sculpted massing — a form that steps and twists rather than rising as a flat slab. Across 57 stories and 249 residences, that geometry does practical work: it orients more homes toward the water and breaks the facade into a series of angled glass planes that catch light differently through the day. Developed by OKO Group and Cain International, with interiors by Paris Forino, Missoni Baia was conceived as a design object first — the kind of building that reads as architecture from across the bay.

Five pools and an amenity deck built for wellness

Where many Edgewater towers advertise a single resort pool, Missoni Baia leans hard into wellness with an expansive amenity deck anchored by five pools — including an Olympic-length lap pool, a rarity in Miami condo development. The program adds indoor and outdoor spas and a tennis court alongside the lounges and fitness spaces the corridor treats as standard. The honest way to read an amenity list this deep is as a recurring cost: five pools, spas and a tennis court are staffed and maintained through the association budget, so the wellness program and the monthly dues are two sides of one ledger. Our research puts the building's dues in the neighborhood of $1.20 per square foot — a directory estimate, not a quote — which is worth confirming against the current budget before you buy.

The residences: layouts, glass and views

Missoni Baia's 249 homes span roughly one- to five-bedroom layouts, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass that frames bay, ocean and downtown-skyline views depending on exposure. The asymmetric floor plates mean lines vary more than in a boxy tower — an advantage if you want a specific orientation, and a reason to compare plans carefully rather than assume every unit on a floor is alike. As a 2022 building, it delivers current-generation systems and finishes without the timeline and deposit risk of a preconstruction purchase; what is available is whatever owners are reselling at any given moment.

What Missoni Baia costs — our directory's figures

Per our building research — directory figures, not live comps — residences at Missoni Baia have ranged from roughly $850,000 to about $7 million, averaging near $1,000 per square foot depending on line, floor and view. That per-foot number places it firmly in Edgewater's new-luxury tier: above the corridor's value entries but below the branded oceanfront towers of Sunny Isles, because a bay view from Edgewater is not an ocean view from the sand. Pricing moves constantly as units resell, so treat those figures as a directory snapshot and check the live listing page and /market-stats for the current picture.

Edgewater context and who it fits

Missoni Baia fits the design-minded buyer who wants a brand-new, architecturally distinctive bayfront home minutes from Wynwood, the Design District and downtown, and who values a wellness-heavy amenity program over a walk-to-the-sand address. It sits comfortably alongside its Edgewater neighbors — the twin towers of Aria Reserve and the slender Elysee Miami — as part of the corridor's new-construction cluster, each selling a different version of bayfront living. For buyers weighing Missoni Baia against those neighbors, or tracking what specific lines have resold for, that is a building-level conversation we are glad to have.
