Public Open Space
- Edgemere Commons will include two new publicly-accessible streets – Beach 52nd Street and Peninsula Way. This will break up the superblock and introduce a new pedestrian experience with better access to retail and publicly-accessible open space. There will also be a children’s playground and seating for the community to gather.
Storm Preparedness
- Edgemere Commons will feature a host of resiliency and storm preparedness measures designed to handle extreme weather events. Its buildings will have standby generators with emergency outlets for each unit, along with cooling rooms for extreme heatwaves. The development will also elevate several streets above sea level and feature bioswales, a rainwater detention tank, permeable pavement, solar panels, green roofs, and extended tree pits.

Project Timeline
- Edgemere Commons will be built in five phases over approximately ten years. This will allow for long-term construction jobs, help the community absorb growth over time, and minimize construction impacts on the surrounding area.
- The Arker Companies is currently constructing the first building, which will be a 194-unit affordable development, with a ~20,000 sf supermarket.
- TS Communities will develop the remaining 10 buildings, with construction anticipated through 2031.
