Elysee to break ground in Edgewater next week

The telescopic-shaped Elysee, a 57-story waterfront condo in Edgewater, plans to break ground next Wednesday morning, a couple of months after receiving a $16.5 million construction loan.

Developed by Two Roads Development, the project is set to rise at 700 Northeast 23rd Street and was designed by Arquitectonica. The building encompasses 100 half-floor residences starting at $1.5 million and ranging in size from 2,300 to 4,000 square feet.

The amenity spaces were designed by Jean Louis-Deniot, a regular on Architectural Digest’s AD 100. The seventh-floor amenity level includes a lap pool, a poolside bar, a fitness center, spa facilities, and a children’s lounge.

An Owners Sky Lounge will live on the 30th floor and feature a lounge area, a bar, a dining room, a chef’s kitchen, a library, a game room, and a wine room.

Elysee is expected to arrive in 2019.
