ORLANDO,
Fla., March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
southern tower of the Aria Reserve Miami, one of the tallest
residential developments in Miami Beach,
Florida, welcomed its first residents in March 2025; the northern tower is set to open
later in 2025. The project's ready-mix concrete supplier specified
PENETRON ADMIX SB, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, to
protect key below-grade concrete structures from Miami's high groundwater and the seaside
environment of Biscayne Bay.
Thanks to the success of PENETRON ADMIX SB
in dozens of preceding projects in Miami and up the Florida coast, L&R Structural Corp., the
project's structural shell contractor, was confident the new
concrete structures exposed to the Florida climate would be waterproof and
durable.
A popular bayfront Miami
neighborhood located north of Downtown and the Arts &
Entertainment District, just over the bridge from Miami Beach, Edgewater has grown tremendously over the past
few decades. The early 20th century homes and older high- and
mid-rise residential towers have been successively replaced by
newer homes or even taller condo towers.
Visible from far, the distinctive wave pattern accenting the
apartment balconies of both towers sets a new architectural
highlight in the Miami skyline.
Designed by Arquitectonica, each of the two Aria Reserve Miami
towers are 62-floors tall (649 feet / 197
m) and house a total of 800 luxury residences. The upper
balconies provide panoramic views of the city, Biscayne Bay, and
the Atlantic Ocean.
The apartments are available as spacious 1-4-bedroom units.
Amenities for residents include a fitness gym, yoga studio,
wellness spa, two swimming pools, children's indoor play areas, and
playing courts for tennis, basketball, and pickleball. The Aria
Reserve Miami complex also features a restaurant, coffee shop,
cinema, mini-golf, and dog park.
"Because of the high hydrostatic pressure encountered at the
Edgewater construction site and
its proximity to Biscayne Bay, Supermix, the ready-mix concrete
supplier, specified PENETRON ADMIX SB to ensure the resilience of
the below-grade concrete structures to the marine environment,"
explains Dale Williams, General
Sales Manager for Penetron USA.
PENETRON ADMIX SB was used to treat 1,000 yds3 (765 m3) of
concrete to waterproof all below-grade concrete structures,
including the elevator pits.
The proprietary chemicals in PENETRON ADMIX SB-treated concrete
react to moisture in a catalytic reaction to generate a non-soluble
crystalline formation that permanently seals the microcracks, pores
and capillary tracts of the concrete against the penetration of
water, sulfates, and chlorides from any direction. This increases
the service life of the concrete structure and virtually eliminates
the need for future maintenance of the treated concrete
structures.
"Thanks to the success of PENETRON ADMIX SB in dozens of
preceding projects in Miami and up
the Florida coast, L&R
Structural Corp., the project's structural shell contractor, was
confident the new concrete structures exposed to the Florida climate would be waterproof and
durable," concludes Dale
Williams.
