Elysee Miami Floor Plans | Edgewater Bayfront 3 to 5 BR Flow-Through Guide
Elysee Miami Edgewater — Floor Plans
At 788 NE 23rd Street in Miami's East Edgewater neighborhood, Elysee Miami rises 57 stories directly from the shore of Biscayne Bay as Edgewater's first luxury boutique tower — and by any meaningful measure, still its finest. Developed by Two Roads Development, designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica with interiors by Jean-Louis Deniot — the Paris-based designer whose classical-contemporary vision has earned him consistent placement on Architectural Digest's AD100 list — and completed in 2021, Elysee delivers just 100 residences across 57 floors with a maximum of two homes per floor.
The floor plan program is intentionally narrow: three-, four-, and five-bedroom flow-through residences ranging from 2,660 to 3,995 interior square feet, every one a half-floor corner home with dual east and west terraces delivering Biscayne Bay sunrise views on one side and Downtown Miami and the Brickell skyline sunset views on the other. Elysee was the first tower in Edgewater to offer half-floor residences — a floor plan category that has since become the defining standard of the neighborhood's most ambitious new buildings.
Current resale listings range from approximately $2.9 million to $5.5 million, with the building consistently performing as one of the highest price-per-square-foot resale assets in the Edgewater market.

The Two-Per-Floor Principle — What It Means for Every Floor Plan
Elysee's defining structural floor plan commitment — no more than two residences per floor across 57 stories — is the architectural decision from which every other floor plan quality at the building follows directly:
Every residence is a flow-through corner half-floor home. With two homes dividing each floor, each residence occupies a corner position spanning roughly half the building's floor plate — east to west, with Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach on one face and Downtown Miami and the Brickell skyline on the other. There is no single-exposure unit. There is no interior-facing bedroom. Every principal room in every floor plan faces water or skyline.
Dual terraces are standard, not premium. Every Elysee residence includes two separate terraces — an east-facing sunrise terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean beyond Miami Beach, and a west-facing sunset terrace overlooking the Downtown Miami and Brickell skyline. The two terraces are physically separate outdoor rooms on opposite sides of the floor plan — accessed from different rooms within the residence — rather than a single wraparound platform. The morning coffee terrace and the evening cocktail terrace are different spaces, producing a daily rhythm of outdoor living that single-exposure buildings cannot replicate.
Two neighbors per floor. With two residences per floor across a 57-story building, each Elysee owner shares their floor with one neighbor. The shared floor experience — elevator lobby, corridor — is reduced to its absolute minimum. For full-time residents who prioritize quiet, the two-per-floor density produces a building that consistently reports as one of the most residential-feeling towers in Edgewater despite its 57-story height.
The Three-Tiered Telescoping Design — How Arquitectonica's Form Serves the Floor Plans
Bernardo Fort-Brescia's Arquitectonica design for Elysee is described across all official documentation as a three-tiered telescoping shape — a form where the building steps back at two points along its height, producing three distinct massing tiers that are immediately recognizable on the Edgewater skyline.
This telescoping is not purely aesthetic. The step-backs at each tier produce larger terraces on the upper floor plates of each tier — as the building steps back, the floor plate above loses some area relative to the floor below, and the resulting setback becomes additional terrace depth for the upper-tier residences. The practical consequence: upper-tier floor plans have meaningfully deeper terraces than lower-tier floor plans at the same nominal square footage, creating a built-in incentive to buy higher in the building for buyers who prioritize outdoor living space.
The alluringly light tone of Elysee's exterior — white glass, minimal articulation, a quiet restraint — gives the building a visual character that Fort-Brescia describes as "instantly recognizable yet discreet." In a neighborhood that has added increasingly assertive tower designs since 2015, Elysee's understatement reads as confidence.
3 Bedroom + Den Residences — 2,660 to 2,800 Square Feet
Three-bedroom-plus-den floor plans on floors 8 through approximately 29 are the building's primary floor plan tier and its most active resale configuration. At 2,660 to 2,800 interior square feet, these are the building's most accessible entry points — and at this square footage with dual sunrise and sunset terraces, a private elevator, and Jean-Louis Deniot's ItalKraft kitchen and bathroom specification, they deliver a residential experience that most buildings in the Edgewater market reserve for their four-bedroom premium tier.
Every three-bedroom-plus-den residence includes:
- Private high-speed elevator opening directly into the residence foyer
- 10-foot ceilings on lower tier floors; 11-foot ceilings on upper tier floors
- Floor-to-ceiling glass across all exterior-facing rooms
- Dual terraces — east-facing (8 to 10 feet deep, sunrise bay views) and west-facing (8 to 10 feet deep, sunset skyline views)
- ItalKraft Italian cabinetry in kitchen and all bathrooms — the same ITALKRAFT specification used at Casa Bella Residences by B&B Italia
- Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance suite including a Wolf gas cooktop — a notably rare feature in a Miami high-rise, where most buildings use induction cooktops to avoid the gas infrastructure costs
- Unobstructed Biscayne Bay views from east-facing rooms and terraces — confirmed as a building-wide standard across all 100 residences
- Two parking spaces per residence
- Decorator-ready delivery — kitchens and bathrooms fully finished by Jean-Louis Deniot's specification; living and bedroom areas delivered as the buyer's canvas
The Wolf gas cooktop included in every Elysee kitchen deserves specific mention: it is one of the most consistently cited differentiators in agent-to-agent conversations about Elysee versus Missoni Baia and other Edgewater competitors, and it directly reflects Two Roads Development's commitment to specifying the building at a standard more commonly associated with custom private residences than with luxury high-rise condominiums.
4 and 5 Bedroom Residences — 2,727 to 3,995 Square Feet
Four- and five-bedroom floor plans extend from approximately 2,727 to 3,995 square feet — the building's mid and upper standard collection. The confirmed active listing at 2,727 square feet (4 BR, 583 SF combined terrace) is described as offering 180-degree views of Biscayne Bay and the ocean from sunlit living spaces and sunrise and sunset terraces with only two units on the floor — confirming the dual-terrace, two-per-floor standard at the four-bedroom level.
Upper-tier four-bedroom floor plans extending toward the 3,995 square foot maximum deliver the building's most substantial standard residences — homes that at this square footage, with ItalKraft/Wolf/Sub-Zero kitchens and Jean-Louis Deniot's bathroom specification, are genuinely competitive with four-bedroom configurations in Sunny Isles Beach buildings at significantly higher price points. The combination of boutique scale, flow-through layout, and Biscayne Bay direct waterfront positioning consistently makes Elysee's four-bedroom floor plans the first recommendation from agents specializing in the Edgewater market for full-time resident buyers.
The Penthouse Collection — Floors 56 and 57
The penthouse collection at Elysee occupies the building's top two floors — floors 56 and 57 — maintaining the two-per-floor structure of the standard collection. Four penthouses total — two per floor — each with expanded square footage from approximately 4,500 to 5,549 square feet and the option to convert to five or six bedrooms on request.
The flexibility of penthouse bedroom count at Elysee — up to six bedrooms from a base four-bedroom configuration, in collaboration with Jean-Louis Deniot's team — reflects the building's broader commitment to treating each residence as an individually configured home rather than a standardized product. At the penthouse level, the decorator-ready living and bedroom areas that are standard throughout the building become the most prominent canvas for this customization: a buyer can configure their penthouse around the bedroom count, layout, and interior vision they specifically want rather than adapting to a fixed floor plan.
At 57 floors above East Edgewater — above the surrounding building fabric, with the full Biscayne Bay-to-skyline flow-through view at its most panoramic — the Elysee penthouse collection represents the highest residential floor plan offering currently available in the East Edgewater market on a resale basis.
Jean-Louis Deniot — The Parisian Interior Vision for Edgewater
Jean-Louis Deniot — the Paris-born designer whose AD100 career spans private residences in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, as well as acclaimed hospitality commissions — brought a classical-contemporary French sensibility to Elysee's interiors that is the defining aesthetic quality distinguishing the building from every other completed tower in Edgewater.
Deniot's design language at Elysee prioritizes proportion, material quality, and the restraint of understatement — an interior philosophy that treats the building's extraordinary Biscayne Bay views as the primary design element and positions every surface within each residence as a backdrop that should frame and not compete with what lies beyond the glass. The result is an interior specification whose elegance is most visible in the details: the ItalKraft cabinetry profiles, the bathroom fixture selections, the subtle tonal palette of common area materials that reads as French rather than Italian — warm, humanist, and calibrated to the quality of natural light available in South Florida.
The Elysee Attaché service — a premium concierge program unique to the building — extends Deniot's lifestyle vision beyond the physical interior: personal shopping, moving coordination, restaurant reservations, and event planning are all available through the Attaché program, positioning Elysee as a fully serviced residential address rather than merely a luxury building with good finishes.
The Amenity Program — Two Full Floors of Amenities in the Sky
Elysee's amenity program spans two full dedicated floors of the building — positioned within the tower's volume rather than at ground level — and includes:
- Grand Salon with full bar and great room with 360-degree views of Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami
- Grand Dining Room seating up to 30 guests, with wine cooler — available for private resident entertaining
- Outdoor Summer Kitchen and BBQ Terrace with panoramic bay views
- State-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio
- Spa with sauna, steam shower, and private massage rooms
- Children's room adjacent to the fitness center
- Private screening room
- Two oversized heated swimming pools — lap pool and resort pool — both bayfront
- Elysee Attaché Services: moving coordination, personal shopping, restaurant reservations, event planning
- 24-hour valet parking
- Two parking spaces per residence (included)
- Dedicated service elevators
The Grand Dining Room seating 30 guests is one of the most distinctive amenity features in the Edgewater market — a building-operated private dining room at this scale, with Biscayne Bay views, available to residents for private entertaining events. No comparable resident-use private dining venue exists in any currently completed Edgewater tower.
