Solana Bay Miami | An Independent Review

In this in-depth review of Solana Bay Miami we thoroughly explore the floor plans, views and prices.  We’ll compare it to similar condominiums and analyze the developer’s offerings. By the end, you’ll understand what sets this project apart, why it’s worth considering, and which floor plans provide the best value.

With over 15 years of real estate experience and a history of successfully selling hundreds of new construction units, I bring a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of what makes a condominium exceptional.

Quick Introduction

Experience tranquil and peaceful living in this distinctive ten-story condo, featuring 52 residences with direct waterfront access and expansive terraces. Each unit offers generous outdoor living space and breathtaking views of the open bay to the north and south. Every residence includes two valet spaces, while penthouses enjoy three valet spaces. The current structure is set for demolition in September, with construction scheduled to begin by the end of the year. The project is anticipated to take around two years, with completion expected in Q1 2027.

The Team Behind Solana Bay

The development is a collaboration between two strong partners: Kolter known for projects like Selene and 100 Las Olas, and BH Group, currently constructing the ultra-luxury Six residences on Fisher Island. The architect, Arquitectonica, is one of Miami’s most respected firms, with iconic projects such as Brickell City Centre, The Ritz-Carlton Sunny Isles, and SLS Brickell. Landscape design is handled by ArquitectonicaGEO. Lastly, interior design is by Avenue Interior Design, an award-winning Los Angeles studio established in 2009, with an impressive portfolio that includes clients like MGM Resorts, Hilton, Marriott, and Montage.
