Uptown Lofts — photography to follow

Key Takeaways

  • 66 residential homes make up Uptown Lofts, — at 2275 Biscayne Blvd in Edgewater — the declaration also carries 11 separate “OFFICE BUILDING – MULTISTORY” folios, which are excluded from every home-based figure on this page.
  • Median $/sq ft fell 28.0% from 2023 to 2026, — while median price actually rose 5.3% — with as few as 1 to 4 sales closing per year, that divergence comes down to which specific unit sizes happened to trade, and I would not lean on the exact size of either move.
  • 12 qualified sales closed here across the last four years, — against 66 homes — a turnover of one home in 22 each year.
  • The building’s current record sale is recent: — $650,000 on 3/5/2025, for a 1,265 sq ft home at unit 804 — $514 per square foot.
  • 50 of 66 homes (75.8%) have a documented round trip: — 29 sold for more, 20 for less, 1 identical — a median gain of 5.9%, and the building’s two largest gains both belong to homes held 17 to 19 years.
  • Five qualified sales between 2009 and 2012 closed at $94,900 to $160,000, — $109 to $130 a square foot — roughly a third of the building’s current rate per foot, and on the record as part of why some round trips ran deeply negative.

Sixty-Six Lofts Sharing a Declaration With an Office Building

I pulled all 77 folios the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser has on file for Uptown Lofts at 2275 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33137 — the county’s own neighborhood field for this address reads Edgewater. The declaration closes at exactly 100.0000% on the county’s common-element share test. Of the 77 folios, 66 are residential condominium homes; the other 11 are coded “OFFICE BUILDING – MULTISTORY” and are excluded from every figure on this page — this declaration covers a mixed-use building, not a purely residential one.

The bed mix runs close to even across three types: 23 homes (34.8%) carry no bedroom on the county record (studios), 22 (33.3%) carry 1, and 21 (31.8%) carry 2. Heated area runs from 775 to 1,975 square feet, median 1,065. The building’s floorplates cluster around six sizes: 775 sq ft (22 homes, 33.3%, the building’s most common size), 1,280 sq ft (13, 19.7%), 1,065 sq ft (8, 12.1%), 865 sq ft (7, 10.6%), and 1,265 and 1,270 sq ft (6 each, 9.1% apiece) — together 62 of the 66 homes, 93.9%.

On the 2026 tax roll, assessed values run from $65,896 to $541,848 across the 66 homes, with a median of $299,590.

I don’t have a confirmed year built, story count, architect or amenity list for this building beyond what the county record carries — none of that is in the property record, and I’d rather say so than fill it in from a listing site.

Price Up 5.3%, $/Sq Ft Down 28.0% — What a Building This Small a Sample Shows

YearQualified salesMedian priceMedian $/sq ft
20233$380,000$439
20244$412,500$389
20254$402,500$426
2026 to date1$400,000$316

Median price and median $/sq ft point in different directions here: price is up 5.3% since 2023, $380,000 to $400,000, while $/sq ft is down 28.0%, $439 to $316. With as few as 1 sale in 2026 and never more than 4 in any year, I don’t think either line is a reliable read of this building’s direction on its own — which specific unit happened to sell in a given year is doing most of the work. Only 12 qualified sales closed across the whole four-year span, a turnover of one home in 22 each year. 2026 is an incomplete year.

The building’s current record inside this window is $650,000, closed 3/5/2025, for a 1,265 sq ft home at unit 804 — $514 per square foot, the highest price and highest rate per foot recorded here in the last four years. The four-year $/sq ft band runs $307 to $514, median $426.

What Two 17-to-19-Year Holds Say About This Building

Looking at homes bought and later resold, both legs a qualified transaction: 50 of the building’s 66 homes (75.8%) have one. 29 sold for more than the previous owner paid, 20 sold for less, and 1 closed at an identical price. The median change across all 50 is a gain of 5.9%, over a median 14.0-year hold; among the 29 gainers alone the median gain is 22.0%.

The building’s two largest documented gains both belong to long holds: a 1,280 sq ft home bought for $296,400 in October 2005 and sold for $560,000 in April 2024, +88.9% over 18.6 years, and a 1,280 sq ft home bought for $299,900 in November 2005 and sold for $500,000 in July 2023, +66.7% over 17.7 years. Set against that, five qualified sales here, dated 2009-2012, closed at $94,900 to $160,000 — $109 to $130 a square foot, roughly a third of the building’s current rate per foot — and several of the building’s largest losses trace to owners who bought around 2005 and had to sell into that stretch.

Who Uptown Lofts Suits, and Who It Doesn’t

Uptown Lofts suits a buyer who wants Edgewater loft inventory across a genuine range of sizes, from studios to two-bedroom homes, in a mixed-use building — the residential and office components are separate parts of the same declaration. It also suits a patient buyer: the building’s clearest documented gains belong to owners who held 17 years or more.

It suits buyers badly who want a building with no downturn history or who need a fast, data-rich sale — volume here is thin, as few as 1 sale in 2026 so far, and five of the building’s recorded sales, from 2009-2012, closed at roughly a third of today’s rate per foot.

If you are selling: price off the $307-$514 four-year $/sq ft band and your unit’s specific floorplate, not off the building’s overall median price — with sales this thin, the last comparable that closed is as likely to reflect its own size as the building’s broader direction.

Uptown Lofts — Frequently Asked Questions

How many homes are in Uptown Lofts?

The Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser lists 77 folios for Uptown Lofts at 2275 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33137 (Edgewater). 66 are residential homes; the other 11 are coded “OFFICE BUILDING – MULTISTORY” and are excluded from every home-based figure — this is a mixed-use declaration, not a purely residential one.

Why do price and $/sq ft point in different directions at Uptown Lofts?

Median price rose 5.3% from 2023 to 2026 while median $/sq ft fell 28.0% over the same period. With as few as 1 to 4 sales closing per year, which specific unit size happened to trade is doing most of the work — neither line should be treated as a firm read of the building’s direction.

What is the highest price a home has sold for at Uptown Lofts?

The building’s current-window record is $650,000, closed 3/5/2025, for a 1,265 sq ft home at unit 804 — $514 per square foot, the highest price and rate per foot recorded in the last four years.

Do owners at Uptown Lofts typically make or lose money?

Of the building’s 66 homes, 50 (75.8%) have a documented round trip: 29 sold for more, 20 for less, 1 at an identical price. The median change across all 50 is a gain of 5.9%, and the building’s two largest gains both belong to homes held 17 to 19 years.

Why did some homes at Uptown Lofts lose money?

Five qualified sales between 2009 and 2012 closed at $109 to $130 a square foot, roughly a third of the building’s current rate per foot. Owners who bought around 2005 and had to sell into that stretch account for the building’s largest losses.

How often do homes turn over at Uptown Lofts?

With 12 qualified sales across the last four years against 66 homes, turnover works out to one home in 22 each year.

What is not known about Uptown Lofts from the county record?

Year built, story count, architect and amenity details are not part of the Property Appraiser’s record, so none of those facts appear on this page. Only what the county record itself supports is published here.

Uptown Lofts and the truth about Miami lofts

Miami has almost no true converted-warehouse lofts. That single fact explains the whole category, and almost nobody says it plainly. Unlike SoHo, Tribeca or Chicago’s West Loop, Miami’s urban core was never built out as multi-story manufacturing, so there was very little industrial stock to convert. Nearly every building marketed here as a loft is purpose-built new construction in a loft aesthetic — high ceilings, concrete floors, open plans, floor-to-ceiling glass — constructed between roughly 2002 and 2016. Parc Lofts at 1749 NE Miami Court is the notable exception, described in the trade as one of the few genuine industrial-loft buildings in the city, with 15-foot ceilings on floors one to four and 20-foot ceilings above.

Uptown Lofts was built in 2005 in Edgewater across 12 floors. That places it squarely inside the loft-construction window — the pre-crisis condo boom that produced essentially all of Miami’s loft inventory. No meaningful loft product has been added since.

The value case, in numbers

Loft product is the genuine affordability play inside Miami’s urban core. Downtown loft-style condominiums trade at roughly $414 to $451 per square foot — Neo Lofts at $414, Loft Downtown I at $425, Loft Downtown II asking $451 — against a Downtown luxury benchmark of $730 per square foot in Q1 2026. That is 55 to 62 per cent of the going rate for comparable urban-core square footage.

Two further numbers matter. Loft Downtown II’s trailing six-month sold average was $422 per square foot against a $451 asking average, at 129 days on market — sellers are taking less than ask, and taking a while. And Downtown carried 46 months of luxury inventory in Q1 2026, the highest in Greater Downtown. If you are buying, that is as much negotiating leverage as this market offers anywhere.

Carrying cost is the quiet advantage

Loft buildings are small, low-amenity and cheap to run, and it shows in the monthly. Loft Downtown II carries an HOA of about $0.93 per square foot per month and Neo Lofts about $1.15. A South Beach trophy tower runs $4 to $7 per square foot per month — The Setai sits near $4.55. On a 1,000 square foot unit that is a difference of roughly $3,000 to $6,000 every month, before you have paid a mortgage. For investors, it is the entire reason the rental maths works.

Why no more lofts will be built

Land economics closed the category. Edgewater luxury traded at $978 per square foot and Brickell at $950 in Q1 2026, while loft product sits near $420. No developer builds a four to six-storey, 35 to 70-unit loft building on land that pencils for a 40-storey tower. High ceilings make it worse: a 20-foot ceiling consumes the volume of nearly two conventional floors, so under fixed height and FAR limits every foot of ceiling is traded directly against sellable units.

The consequence is a permanently closed supply category with structurally tiny unit counts — Ilona Lofts has 16 units, Wynwood Lofts 35, Montclair 41, Star Lofts 47, Bay Lofts 54, Uptown 66, Parc Lofts 70, Filling Station 81. In buildings that small, one owner deciding not to sell measurably moves availability.

Where Miami’s lofts actually are

  • Downtown Miami — Loft Downtown I and II. The walkable core, on the Metromover, and the most accessible luxury submarket in the city.
  • Arts & Entertainment District — Parc Lofts and Filling Station Lofts, next to the Adrienne Arsht Center, between Downtown and Wynwood.
  • Wynwood — Wynwood Lofts, in the gallery district by Wynwood Walls, with Midline Miami’s 10,000 square foot live-music venue at Arlo Wynwood open since January 2026.
  • Edgewater — Star Lofts, Bay Lofts and Uptown Lofts, in the top-performing Miami neighbourhood of Q1 2026 with 120 per cent year-on-year sales growth.
  • Miami River and Brickell edge — Neo Lofts, on the riverfront dining corridor. Brickell is Greater Downtown’s fastest-selling submarket at 75 days on market.

Who buys lofts in Miami

Creative professionals first — Parc Lofts is documented as a favourite among photographers, musicians and artists, and Wynwood Lofts is explicitly marketed as a live/work building. Then entry-point urban buyers, because Downtown lofts start around $282,000 to $307,000, well under the $425,000 Miami-Dade condo median. And rental investors, drawn by the low carry: Loft Downtown II listed 17 units for rent against 15 for sale in July 2026.

At the top of the market the buyer is different again. Parc Lofts units run 1,970 to 3,774 square feet with 15 to 20-foot ceilings at $1.3M to $3.0M. That is a fundamentally different proposition from a 700 square foot Brickell tower unit at the same price — and there is nowhere else in Miami to buy it.

Frequently asked questions

Are there real converted-warehouse lofts in Miami?

Very few. Parc Lofts at 1749 NE Miami Court is described in the trade as one of the few true industrial-loft buildings in Miami, with 15-foot ceilings on floors one to four and 20-foot ceilings on floors five and six. Most Miami buildings marketed as lofts, including Neo Lofts, Filling Station Lofts, Wynwood Lofts and Loft Downtown I and II, are purpose-built new construction in a loft aesthetic dating from 2002 to 2016.

How much does a loft cost in Miami?

Downtown loft-style condominiums start around $282,000 to $307,000 and average $414 to $451 per square foot across Neo Lofts, Loft Downtown I and Loft Downtown II, on 2026 data. Large-format industrial lofts sit far higher: Parc Lofts runs roughly $1.3 million to $3.0 million at about $756 per square foot for units of 1,970 to 3,774 square feet.

Are Miami lofts good value compared with condos?

On a per-square-foot basis, clearly. Downtown loft product trades at roughly $414 to $451 per square foot while the Downtown luxury condo segment ran $730 per square foot in Q1 2026. Carrying costs are lower too: Loft Downtown II has an HOA near $0.93 per square foot per month against $4 to $7 in South Beach trophy towers.

Which Miami neighborhoods have lofts?

The concentrations are Downtown Miami with Loft Downtown I and II, the Arts and Entertainment District with Parc Lofts and Filling Station Lofts, Wynwood with Wynwood Lofts, Edgewater with Star, Bay and Uptown Lofts, and the Miami River and Brickell edge with Neo Lofts. South Beach has a small cluster of boutique loft buildings including Ilona Lofts and Montclair Lofts, and Coconut Grove has Lofts at Mayfair.

What are the largest lofts in Miami?

Parc Lofts has the largest floorplates of any loft building in the city, with units from 1,970 to 3,774 square feet. Filling Station Lofts runs 832 to 1,639 square feet with 18-foot ceilings. Most Downtown loft towers top out near 1,150 to 1,185 square feet.

Why does nobody build new lofts in Miami anymore?

Land economics. Edgewater and Brickell luxury condos traded at $978 and $950 per square foot in Q1 2026 while loft product trades near $420. A four to six-storey building with 35 to 70 units cannot compete for the same land as a 40-storey tower, and 20-foot ceilings consume roughly two conventional floors of height under fixed limits. No meaningful loft supply has been added since about 2016.

How long do Miami lofts take to sell?

Loft Downtown II averaged 129 days on market over the six months ending July 2026, with sold prices averaging $422 per square foot against an asking average of $451. Downtown carried 46 months of luxury inventory in Q1 2026, the highest in Greater Downtown, which gives buyers meaningful negotiating room.

Who buys lofts in Miami?

Three groups. Creative professionals, since Parc Lofts is documented as a favourite among photographers, musicians and artists and Wynwood Lofts is marketed as a live/work building. Entry-point urban buyers, because Downtown lofts start below $310,000 against a $425,000 Miami-Dade condo median. And rental investors attracted by the low HOA structure, with Loft Downtown II listing 17 units for rent against 15 for sale in July 2026.
