La Maré Bay Harbor Islands
Independent Review of Prices, Floor Plans, and Location
I wrote this article to give you an honest review of La Maré on the Bay Harbor Islands. In addition to looking at the project’s features, I’ll also compare it to other new construction condos in the Bay Harbor area.
Just like you, I first saw the project through the developer’s pictures and videos. Curious to learn more, I visited the sales center. With over 15 years of experience selling real estate and having sold hundreds of new construction units, I know what details are important and what questions to ask. Since I’m very familiar with La Maré’s location, finishes, and floor plans, and can compare it to other options, I’m confident I can provide an unbiased review.
Whether you’re reading every detail or just skimming for information, I hope you enjoy the article. Don’t forget to check out my conclusions at the end!
Introduction to La Maré Bay Harbor
La Maré is one of the best new projects on the Bay Harbor Islands. Breaking away from Bay Harbor’s traditional developments, this new development is crafted with the preferences of affluent end users in mind. La Maré is catered towards those who want large residences overlooking the water. The project offers 3 towers of which 2 are launched. One is an 8-story condo offering 9 units with 3/4 bedroom condos. The other is an 8-story condo offering 33 units ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms. One of the biggest selling points is its large residences, private marina, and proximity to the beach. For more information on La Maré please click here.

Floor Plans
The floor plans at La Mare Bay Harbor Islands are developed with end-users in mind. There are two towers, one called the Signature Collection and one the Regency Collection.
The Signature building comprises 8 floors, featuring a total of 9 units. On the 3rd and 4th floors, there are two half-floor residences, while the 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th floors each offer one full-floor residence. These residences boast 3 or 4 bedrooms and vary in size from 2,141 to 4,700 square feet. The social areas within each unit are spacious and thoughtfully designed, creating a distinct separation from the private bedrooms through elongated corridors. This layout aims to evoke a coveted single-family home ambiance. All units come with wraparound terraces, and the 2nd-floor residence even features a private pool. The Mare Signature collection, designed by Architect Kobi Karb, shares a similar aesthetic and atmosphere with the successful Arte project in Surfside.

The Finishes
We have visited the sales center at La Maré and found that the units are very nicely finished. Exactly what you would expect from a project of this caliber. Think of Poliform Alea pro kitchens and Miele appliance packages including wine fridge and coffee system. All fixtures in the kitchens and bathrooms are Antonio Lupi-designed elegant Italian fixtures. For flooring, buyers can choose between stone or wood. Units will be delivered complete with the exception of closets. The architect in this project is Kobi Karpwho is one of Miami’s most desired architects. He simply has never created anything that is not top-notch. Interior design is by Debora Aquiar Arquitetos.
The Location of La Maré Bay Harbor Islands
Comparing La Maré’s prices to other new projects
Prices at La Maré start at $1.4M for the Regency Collection and $3M for a half-floor residence at the Signature Collection. The blended average at Signature is higher as this condo offers uniquely full and half-floor residences while Regency also offers smaller, non-waterfacing units. Looking at the average prices in Miami for new construction condos we can see that La Maré is one of the best offerings, especially for a project that is located on the water.
If you look at the second picture below you can compare La Maré with other new condos on the Bay Harbor Islands. The average price point is elevated compared to other new condos but we also believe this condo is far superior to the other condos in that list.

Conclusions about La Maré Bay Harbor
The PROS | The CONS | The VERDICT |
La Maré stands out with its exceptionally spacious floor plans, a feature uncommon among the new condos in the area. The condo’s design is not only impressive but also comes with top-tier finishes, ensuring a high-quality living experience. The Signature and Regency buildings offer breathtaking views of a sizable water body and the Bal Harbour skyline, with higher floors potentially granting glimpses of the ocean. The team behind this project comes with a great track-record, with Architect Kobi Karp being one of the most desired local architects. This part of the island enjoys excellent connectivity, being in close proximity to Bal Harbour, just steps away from the Bal Harbour Shops and Pura Vida. Accessing the beach is a breeze, requiring less than a 10-minute walk. Finally, La Mare offers a private marina enabling owners to park their vessel in front of their property and sail away to the open ocean in a matter of minutes. | Although Bay Harbor is rapidly developing and becoming home to many new luxury boutique condos, the area is still less desired or developed with stores and restaurants like areas such as Miami Beach or Brickell. Although the part where La Mare is located in the best located for easy access to hotspots like Pura Vida and the Bal harbor Shops. The Signature Collection does not offer private elevators nor does it have a private gym. Owners at Signature will receive a membership to a local club. | La Maré is tailored for discerning buyers seeking a single-family home vibe with spacious floor plans and stunning water views. These buyers value tranquility in their neighborhood but also desire proximity to shops, restaurants, and the beach. This option suits those who are content with fewer amenities. It’s worth noting that in Bal Harbour, there are limited condos offering such expansive floor plans. Typically, these generous residences are found in older condos like the Palace or Bellini or pricier options like St Regis and Oceana. |
