La Baia Bay Harbor | The Newest Condo by Visionary New York Developer Ian Bruce Eichner

Located on Miami’s Bay Harbor Islands, La Baia is the latest project from visionary New York developer Ian Bruce Eichner who is credited with placing Miami Beach’s prestigious South of Fifth neighborhood on the map with the arrival of the Continuum South Beach. We got the first project information and want to share it here!

Bay Harbor Islands is a distinctly small and exclusive community that has become one of the most-highly desired luxury residential waterfront areas throughout Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Within just a one-mile radius, Bay Harbor Islands’ residents enjoy easy-access to casual cafés, fine dining, neighborhood services, world-class shopping  (the world-famous Bal Harbour shops), parks and recreation for every age, as well as top-ranked schools – all just a short walk from La Baia, Bay Harbor Islands. The island is close to the beach of Bal Harbour, which is at 0.6 miles from the condo’s location.

Prices at La Baia

• 1 Bed Residences starting at $810,000. Size 1125 Sqft approx.
• 2 Beds Residences starting at $1,000,000 with park view and $1,200,000 with water view. Sizes 1331-1860 Sqft.
• 3 Beds Residences starting at $1,600,000. Sizes 1753-2184 Sqft
• 4 Beds Residences starting at $2,650,000. Size 2500 Sqft approx.

The average asking price per SF for NON-water facing units at La Baia is $740, while water facing units are asking around $1,000 per SF. The most similar project seems to be Sereno Bay Harbor, which is a well-finished boutique condo with a private marina and water views. This condo is selling at an average of $800 per SF (ranging from $720 per SF to $910 per SF). There are currently no listings at Sereno. Onda Bay Harbor is another new project on the island that is selling for approx. $1,000 per SF. This project is also a high-end boutique project (43 units) which offers  2-4 bedrooms (larger residences in size) and a private marina. This condo is selling between $1.7 M and $8M. Knowing the developer’s history this project is expected to become high-end and desirable. Once we have more details we will add better comparisons to this blog, so stay tuned.
