Indeed, the studio’s projects often boast premium valuations, thanks to their cutting-edge design, sustainable features, and prime locations.
Montevideo-based agency BLK is handling the sale of this impressive development that comes complete with water-facing views, spa-like amenities, and ample green areas. Two residences have already hit the market – one has two bedrooms and a rooftop oasis; the other is a duplex with four bedrooms and a verdant garden (prices on request).
The Edge: Where Architecture Meets Artistry in Montevideo
Described as “more of an art piece than a building project” and a “milestone of contemporary design”, The Edge was conceived by Foster + Partners alongside Ponce de León Architects, an acclaimed studio based in Montevideo. Meanwhile, the elegant décor is being managed by Zinc Design, featuring creations by an esteemed local artist Diego Santurio.
Comprising eight deluxe units, each is unique, but they all share panoramic vistas of Río de la Plata. There’s also meticulous attention to detail throughout, from Porcelanosa porcelain, Bulthaup kitchens, and Miele appliances to Poliform closets, advanced Mitsubishi climate control, and Ikatu/Bang & Olufsen home automation.
The sleek structure is characterized by white concrete and has an impressive central courtyard covered in Murano glass that houses a towering tree. The homes themselves span two to four bedrooms and boast soaring three-meter ceilings and full-length windows with minimalist German openings. Some have a large garden while others benefit from private rooftops with outdoor kitchens and fire pits.
In terms of shared services, there’s a 24-hour concierge, pool, spa, and gym. Construction started in the first quarter of 2024, and the project is expected to complete in 2025. More than a home, The Edge is “a habitable work of art, a status symbol, and an investment in a life of luxury and comfort”.
Serenity Meets Sophistication
Another key benefit of The Edge is its location: The exclusive residential neighborhood of Carrasco on the Río de la Plata coast. A sought-after area indeed, it offers serenity and glorious outlooks toward the river alongside proximity to the capital.
