“The Edge”: Foster + Partners’ First Project in Uruguay
On the prestigious Rambla de Carrasco in Montevideo, Uruguay, rises “The Edge”, an architectural gem that marks the first project in the country by the world-renowned firm Foster + Partners, together with Ponce de León Architects and developed by Betalba Capital. Set to become a landmark of contemporary design, the project comprises 8 exclusive luxury residences, each with its own identity and panoramic views of the Río de la Plata.
Foster + Partners, a British architecture firm of global renown, is known for its focus on sustainability, technological innovation and timeless design. The renovation of the Reichstag dome of the German Parliament, The Gherkin in London, the Hearst Tower in New York and Apple Park in Cupertino, California are among its iconic works. Its arrival in Uruguay alongside Ponce de León Architects is a testament to the growing international interest in the Uruguayan real estate market.
Every detail at “The Edge” has been carefully selected. Interiors feature Porcelanosa porcelain floors in the living areas and kitchen, wood floors in the private areas, Bulthaup kitchens from Germany, Miele appliances, Poliform closets and walk-in wardrobes from Italy, and fixtures designed by Foster + Partners, also by Porcelanosa. The project also offers advanced Mitsubishi (Japan) climate-control and hot-water systems and Ikatu/Bang & Olufsen home automation.
The location is a key part of its appeal. Set in the heart of Carrasco, “The Edge” offers a serene, exclusive setting just steps from the luxurious Hotel Casino Carrasco and the lively dining scene on Avenida Arocena and Rostand, with direct access to downtown Montevideo, 5 minutes from Carrasco Airport and one hour from Punta del Este.
Its distinctive architecture makes it a work of art rather than just a building. The structure is built in white concrete around a central courtyard clad in Murano glass, home to a majestic tree. With 3-meter floor-to-ceiling heights and panoramic windows with minimalist German frames, the building has only 8 residences of 2 to 4 bedrooms, some with large gardens and others with luxurious private rooftops featuring pools, sun decks, fire pits, powder rooms and kitchens with Miele appliances.
The level of luxury and sophistication at “The Edge” is unique in Uruguay and matched by only a handful of projects in Latin America. Interior design by Zinc Design adds a touch of elegance and modernity. Amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, spa, pool and gym, are designed to meet the needs of the most discerning residents.
With delivery scheduled for Q4 2027, “The Edge” is aimed at a high-net-worth international audience. This project is more than a residence: it is a livable work of art, a status symbol and an investment in a life of luxury and comfort.
At Blk. Realty we are proud to be the official real estate agency for “The Edge”, a milestone in Montevideo’s urban architecture. For more information, please contact us at welcome@blk.uy.
