Icon Bay is a residential high-rise in the Edgewater neighborhood of Miami, Florida, containing about 300 units over 42 floors.[3] In return for using the end of a city of Miami owned street where it meets Biscayne Bay, the project design approved included a small public park as appeasement.[4] In 2016, the building was awarded sixth place in the Emporis best new skyscraper annual awards.[5]
The developer designed the building so that each unit can be cross-ventilated. Each unit has 2-3 frontages in order to achieve this.[6] The balconies are designed with a zig-zag pattern which: the design element invites more light into the apartments.[7]
The building has 300 one, two and three bedroom apartment/units.[8]
