The once sleepy bayfront town of Bay Harbor Islands, sandwiched between Miami Beach and mainland Miami, is undergoing a renaissance. This small neighborhood has recently come alive with a flurry of new construction activity, as old 1950s buildings, past their prime, are bought and cleared for new, boutique, waterfront condos. Clean, quiet, and pristine, this almost forgotten piece of Miami real estate had stood unnoticed for way too long, considering the building boom of the early 2000s skipped over this part of town.

With new zoning rules in place and a prime waterfront location, Bay Harbor Islands’ pre-construction projects rival even those from South Beach, offering extra-large floor plans, the quiet luxury of boutique living, and private marinas with ocean access, often at better price points than Miami Beach. Given the recent surge in demand for luxury housing and scarcity of workable waterfront parcels, several big developers are drawn to the area, as South Florida becomes the destination region to live and work.

So, what are all of the recently announced Bay Harbour Islands pre-construction condo projects that have Miami abuzz? Let’s look at 15 of the latest new condo projects poised to subtly transform this waterfront neighborhood and make it one of the most desirable places in all of Miami.

— Is Bay Harbor Islands a Good Place to Live? 

Surrounded by Biscayne Bay, and with a quintessential small-town feel, this island community’s location is hard to beat as it is only a mile from world-class shopping at the Bal Harbour Shops and the ocean. Here you’ll find an incredibly safe, family-friendly neighborhood, a K-8 school, quaint bistros, fine dining, and boutique retail, as well as some of the softest sands and secluded beach fronts in the Bal Harbour and Surfside area.

Living in Bay Harbor Islands will always carry a sense of community considering the islands are almost exclusively residential, with many single-family homes and strict height limits for all other buildings. For anyone looking for less-crowded oceanfront living for a fraction of the cost of areas like Miami Beach, or if you want something different from Downtown Miami or Brickell’s high-rise culture, real estate in Bay Harbor Islands presents a great opportunity.
