The Hamilton

Edgewater's legacy tower, gut-renovated into something genuinely unusual: floor plans that simply do not exist in modern buildings, 1,300+ sqft two-bedrooms, penthouses with 2,000 sqft of wrap-around balcony. The amenities are a curated mix (Himalayan salt vault, pickleball, putting green) rather than a generic gym-and-pool combo. You're paying for space, security, and a real community, not for the newest faucet finishes.

Why this building: Serious square footage and controlled access, in an established building rather than a new tower.

Things to know

You're paying for square footage: The 2BRs start at ~1,300 sqft and the penthouses go up to ~5,000 sqft. Compare price per square foot against newer towers, The Hamilton often wins, even at $4K+ rents.
It's a 1985 building underneath: Despite the luxury repositioning, the bones are 40 years old. Expect occasional quirks, plumbing noise, older HVAC layouts, that don't show up in 2024 builds.
Pet rent is the highest on the corridor: $60/mo per pet, plus $400 upfront. With two pets that's nearly $1,500/yr in pet costs alone.
Security and community are real differentiators: Residents consistently call out friendly long-term neighbors and tight building security. This is one of the few Edgewater buildings that actually feels lived-in rather than transient.
The amenity mix is specific: Pickleball, putting green, and Himalayan salt vault are not standard. Tour these in person, they're only worth it if they match your routine.
