Just as it’s been confirmed that Miami's luxury condo market is far from losing steam (take a look at the 2022 annual numbers here), our condo pre-construction market started 2023 on a robust note. This January, two new oceanfront condo projects launched sales – Bal Harbour’s Rivage and South Beach’s Shore Club Private Collection. Both high-design projects will make an iconic addition to Miami’s oceanfront, adding new luxury to iconic neighborhoods.

In addition to new launches, the short-term-rental-friendly Lofty Brickell and The Crosby Downtown broke ground. Plans for a Brickell Key supertall and a Surfside condo addition were revealed. Also, demolition work finally started on 729 Edge, giving the Edgewater condo project a definitive timeline.

Rivage – Bal Harbour

Groundbreaking – Mid-to-Late 2023 | Completion – N.A.

After about a decade, Bal Harbour will get its first set of brand-new luxury condos, fine-tuned to deliver a new standard of condo living in this upscale neighborhood. Developed by the Related Group, Two Roads, and Rockpoint, the Rivage oceanfront condo project was initially submitted as The Residences at Bal Harbour in October 2021.

Looking to replace the 1956-built Carlton Terrace condos, the co-developers acquired the 2.55-acre site at 10245 Collins Avenue for $115 million in a bulk buyout deal.

Designed by New York’s Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in collaboration with Miami Lake’s CFE Architects, this once-in-a-generation luxury tower will rise 24 stories with only 61 “sky villa” condos. Fronting 200 feet of pristine ocean, the tower will carry a tropical modern aesthetic, featuring three interconnecting glass ovals evoking a crystalline coral reef while maximizing water views.

With interiors by Rottet Studio, residents will be treated to custom kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, as well as custom-designed bathrooms and closets with imported Italian finishes. All residences will be built to offer a single-family home experience with open-concept floorplans, oversized terraces, and direct water views.

Dedicated to the well-being of its residents, Rivage will feature over 25,000 square feet of wellness-related amenities, including a fitness pavilion with panoramic views, a hammam spa, hot/cold plunge pools, pickle and paddle ball courts, and more. Other amenities will include a pool, a cocktail lounge with chef-driven food & beverage services, a VR game simulator, a kid’s playroom, plus a 24/7 residential butler and dedicated lifestyle concierge.

Prices range from $8 million to $64 million, with a choice of 3,300-square-foot residences to 13,000-square-foot penthouses.

The Shoreclub Private Collection  – South Beach

Developers Witkoff and Monroe Capital recently launched The Shoreclub Private Collection of residences starting at $6 million. Designed By Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), in collaboration with Kobi Karp, the 18-story, 200-foot-tall oceanfront tower will include only 49 luxury residences – with no two floorplans alike. RAMSA’s first-ever oceanfront project, the view-focused tower will feature a rounded design inspired by waves, underscored by a nautical spin on Miami Beach’s iconic MiMo-style (Miami Modern) architecture.

RAMSA will be collaborating with Miami’s celebrated Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design. All residences will feature nautical and yachting references, including the use of rich woods like mahogany and oak, nickel and brass accents, plus swooping walls and arched windows. Large glass walls will open up to oversized terraces with direct ocean views.

Amenities at this oceanfront project will include a residents-only pool, a private world-class fitness center, a library, a lounge, access to Auberge Resorts Collection’s tailored services with in-home offerings, Auberge’s world-class beach club, a signature restaurant, poolside café and bar with dedicated cabana service, double-height café and bar, plus lush botanical gardens designed by Island Planning Corporation.

The original Shore Club Hotel will be preserved and renovated into a 5-star resort with 75 modern suites designed by Bryan O’Sullivan Studio – all managed and operated by the Auberge Resorts Collection.

The Cromwell, another building in the complex, will also be renovated and integrated as a private entrance for residents, with four duplex residences on its upper floors.

Prices start at about $6 million, with a choice of 49 distinct floorplans plus a 6,000-square-foot single-family beach house.
