1. La Mare

La Maré Residences in Bay Harbor Islands presents two boutique buildings offering spacious and well-lit modern living spaces along with luxurious amenities, fostering a unique and genuinely homely waterfront lifestyle in this serene community. These elevated luxury tropical villas feature expansive living areas, ample storage, and high-end finishes, including lanai units, water-view terraces, a rooftop pool deck, a spacious family room, and unmatched privacy. The Regency Collection, boasting 33 residences across 8 stories, features glass-walled terraces, private elevators, and penthouses with rooftop pools. The Signature Collection, with just 9 residences, offers exclusivity with one residence per floor. Both collections include elegant design elements, panoramic bay views, and top-of-the-line Miele appliances in custom Poliform kitchens. The development is led by Regency Development Group, designed by Kobi Karp Architecture, and features interior design by Debora Aguiar Arquitetos. With boat slips, secure parking, and a welcoming lobby, La Maré Residences embody the epitome of waterfront luxury living in collaboration with a distinguished team.
Pros Cons 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. The Signature Collection at La Maré doesn't include its own fitness center, but residents get a membership for a nearby gym. While many residents prefer self-parking, it's important to note that this is the sole parking option available at La Maré. 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.

2 Indian Creek Residences and Yacht Club

Indian Creek Residences and Yacht Club present a limited collection of nine distinctive residences, including full-floors, duplexes, and half-floor homes, each with direct elevator entry and full-time doorman and concierge services. The building features a secluded landscaped private drive, limestone veneer exterior stone, and a custom glass-wrapped façade, embodying meticulous craftsmanship. The residences offer breathtaking vistas of Indian Creek Lake, Biscayne Bay, and the Indian Creek Golf Course, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, creating a resort-like ambiance. The property includes three-bedroom half-floor residences, a four-bedroom club residence, five-bedroom duplex residences, and five-bedroom full-floor penthouses. Noteworthy features include unobstructed water and golf course views, custom-designed wine collector’s walls, Southern-exposed living rooms, and unique design elements such as a discreetly hidden speakeasy wet bar. Developed by LANDAU Properties, designed by ZARIFI Design, with architecture by Kobi Karp, landscape design by ENEA, lighting design by VENTRESCA, and marina design by Ocean Consulting, Indian Creek Residences and Yacht Club promises an unparalleled living experience, with prices starting from $5.6 million and an estimated completion date in Q3 2025.
Pros Cons Verdict
This is an incredibly exclusive project with a limited number of units, providing stunning views of both the water and the golf course. The residences are unusually spacious for the Bay Harbor Islands, boasting exceptional finishes. Living here ensures a tranquil lifestyle, with top-notch quality in every detail. The project is backed by a team with an outstanding track record, adding to its overall appeal and reliability. The surrounding condos are more dated and compared to the other side of the area where we find La Mare it is less developed. The ideal condo for buyers who want to have a hybrid between a large single-family home on the water and a condo.

3.  La Baia North

La Baia North Bay Harbor, centrally located in the heart of Bay Harbor Islands, stands as an exceptional residential offering, granting residents access to white sand beaches and premier destinations in Downtown Miami, Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, and Surfside Beach. Developed by Continuum Company and designed by renowned Miami architect Luis Revuelta, La Baia North boasts contemporary design, stylish interiors, and top-tier amenities, making it a prime choice for luxury homebuyers. This new condo comprises lavish 2 to 4-bedroom residences ranging from 1,400 to 2,100 square feet, providing stunning views of the Miami skyline, Biscayne Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. The residences feature sleek fully-finished interiors, 9 to 10-foot ceilings, wide-plank European flooring, and kitchens equipped with premium cabinetry and Miele appliances. Living in La Baia North offers a dynamic, high-end lifestyle with amenities such as a private marina, resort-style swimming pool, outdoor dining venue, state-of-the-art fitness center, kids’ play area, parking space for each resident (with valet or self-park options), electric vehicle charging stations, and secure private storage spaces, ensuring a luxurious and convenient living experience.
Pros Cons Verdict
La Baia has some great names behind it, with Bruce Eichner, a key player in elevating South of Fifth's luxury status and a respected name in NYC real estate, being involved. His reputation has drawn buyers to this condo. In contrast, La Baia North is a sizable condominium with 57 units, providing a bit more in terms of amenities compared to its counterpart. The balconies at La Baia are not very spacious, and while the units are not tiny, they are not as large as the ones at La Mare or Indian Creek. This condo is a secure choice backed by a reputable name and the project features a building (La Baia) that has already sold out. Situated in the more developed section of the island near Bal Harbour, it caters to those seeking boutique living without compromising on amenities.

4.  Origin by Artifacto

Origin Residences, a refined collection of 27 limited edition luxury waterfront residences, is a collaboration with Artefacto, synonymous with sophisticated South Florida living. Nestled on the westernmost part of Bay Harbor Islands, this boutique residential building captures the essence of the ultimate Miami lifestyle with captivating views and expansive floor plans. A creation by Artefacto, known for its association with prominent names in architecture and décor, Origin Residences offers warm, contemporary living. Located steps away from Miami’s pristine beaches and the renowned Bal Harbour Shops, it provides urban island living while ensuring easy access to city comforts. These 2- to 4-bedroom residences feature floor-to-ceiling impact-resistant sliding glass doors, Italian kitchens with top-notch appliances, Italian porcelain flooring, oversized walk-in closets, and modern bathrooms with Italian marble. With panoramic private balconies, high ceilings, and energy-efficient systems, Origin Residences exemplifies luxury living with a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility.
Pros Cons Verdict
Artefacto offers a generous 5% credit toward your furniture choices, allowing you to collaborate with a designer for a personalized unit. The partnership ensures meticulous attention to detail and a high level of luxury in the residences. Moreover, this is one of the initial condos completed with the lowest average price per square foot. The homes are situated on a peaceful canal with minimal boat traffic. Although marketed as expansive residences the residences are not that large compared to the other residences in this wave of new construction condos. This condo is located in the less developed west part of the island. The perfect residences for design lovers and Artefacto aficionados who love a perfectly designed unit in a quiet boutique setting, not too far away from the beaches.

5. 9900 West

Experience the epitome of waterfront luxury with a limited collection of 23 two, three, and four-bedroom residences in the coveted Bay Harbor Islands of Miami. 9900 West residences showcase 9′ ceilings, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and windows, spacious balconies for an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, generously sized double closets (including walk-in closets in primary bedrooms), and private storage spaces. A wealth of amenities and services include front desk reception/concierge, over 5,000 SF of tropical landscaping, a rooftop pool deck with a Finnish overflow saltwater pool and spa, valet parking, a resident’s lounge with an entertainer’s kitchen, a dog spa, a spa room with a hydrotherapy tub, a children’s playroom, a state-of-the-art fitness center, beach club membership, bicycle storage, and a sunset terrace with dockside lounge seating overlooking the waterway. The private marina boasts 10 boat slips available for exclusive owner purchase, accommodating vessels up to 30 ft, with paddleboard and kayak storage and direct waterway access to Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Pros Cons Verdict
The most affordable condo on this list. Located on a narrow canal overlooking the single-family homes on the other island. This is a more tranquil part of the canal with less boat traffic, and therefore more private.  Located on the less developed part of the island surrounded by older condos and further away or less walkable to the Bal Harbour Shops and Bal Harbour. This condo does not have a very well-known team behind it like some of the others on this list. This is one of the most affordable new waterfront condos in Miami that can carry call itself a luxury condo and that is located in a desired neighborhood. If you do not want to be close to the beach and all the action without paying $3,000 per SF, this is the project for you.

The Allure of Bay Harbor Islands

Bay Harbor Islands is currently undergoing significant changes, making it an appealing neighborhood. Recent investments in residential and commercial developments have fueled its potential for growth. Notably, the well-established Bal Harbour neighborhood is drawing nearer, with the Bal Harbour Shops extending westward towards the island. In addition, the recently announced ‘The Well’ project will combine 93,716 square feet of office and lobby space with 17,000 square feet dedicated to a holistic wellness experience encompassing health, fitness, nutrition, and curated food and beverage options.

Bay Harbor Island’s unique character is maintained by existing zoning regulations. These rules limit the construction of tall buildings, ensuring that only low-rise condominiums are permitted. This intentional development approach aims to preserve the intimate, small-town atmosphere of the neighborhood while meeting the growing needs of the community.
