THE ST. REGIS BAL HARBOUR RESORT DEBUTS BH PRIME STEAKHOUSE

The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort has introduced its first dedicated steakhouse, BH Prime, marking a significant addition to the resort’s dining portfolio. The new restaurant replaces the former BH Burger Bar, transforming the space into a refined, dinner-focused venue that caters to both hotel guests and local patrons. With a design rooted in warm wood, leather, and subtle contemporary touches, BH Prime offers a sophisticated yet approachable atmosphere in line with the resort’s Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond status.

BH Prime’s menu centers on classic steakhouse offerings with global accents. Highlights include the Miyazaki A5 Japanese Wagyu New York Strip, a 32 oz. USDA Prime Longbone Tomahawk, and a 14 oz. USDA Prime Boneless Ribeye, served with a signature smoking tableside finish. The raw bar features selections like chilled jumbo shrimp, seasonal oysters, and a royal seafood tower, while main courses also include miso-glazed sea bass and Ora King salmon with Mediterranean-inspired accompaniments.

In a nod to the space’s previous identity, a selection of upscale burgers remains on the menu, including a Bison Burger with maple pepper bacon, cambozola cheese, and Buffalo Trace BBQ sauce. The sides and starters are indulgent, ranging from truffle parmesan fries to lobster-infused “Angry Shrimp” and Gruyère mac & cheese.

BH Prime is also introducing a caviar program in partnership with luxury purveyor Petrossian, offering access to rare selections such as Tsar Imperial Ossetra and Royal Daurenki. The bar program was developed in collaboration with international mixologists from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bangkok, and includes a curated wine list and an inventive cocktail selection. Executive Pastry Chef Nagypsy leads the dessert offerings, with standout items like a salted caramel crème brûlée and a layered chocolate ganache cake served with Cuban coffee ice cream.

The concept was brought to life by by General Manager Carlo Javakhia, a veteran of the global restaurant scene with past projects in Athens, Dubai, and Doha. He’s joined by Executive Chef Adrian Colameco, a Florida native whose cooking blends classical technique with Latin influences. Their leadership is complemented by the resort’s Director of Food & Beverage Fabien Gnemmi, whose Michelin-starred experience across Europe adds further depth to the project.

BH Prime seats 58 guests total and is open daily from 4:30 PM to 11:00 PM. The restaurant is open to the public, and in-room dining service is available for hotel guests. As Bal Harbour continues to attract affluent travelers and residents, BH Prime adds a new layer of luxury to the area's dining scene, positioning itself as a go-to for elegant evening meals in one of Miami’s most upscale beachfront neighborhoods.

The project is a collaboration between Related Group, Rockpoint, and Two Roads Development, with architecture by the renowned firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and interiors designed by Rottet Studio.

Set between the Intracoastal Waterway and 200 feet of oceanfront, the development will offer 56 high-end residences, designed to blend modern luxury with South Florida’s natural beauty. The homes, referred to as “sky villas,” will range from 3,300 to nearly 13,000 square feet, providing features akin to a single-family home, including in-unit elevator access and private parking garages. Each residence will also have expansive terraces offering direct views of the ocean and Biscayne Bay.

PROFILE Exclusive: Inside Onda Residences In Bay Harbor Islands With Developer Valerio Morabito

PROFILEmiami caught up with Valerio Morabito, CEO of Morabito Properties, to discuss his newest joint venture condo development with Ugo Colombo’s CMC Group, Onda Residences in Miami’s Bay Harbor Islands. Designed by world-renowned architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica, the 8-story boutique building’s waterfront location will boast more than 300 feet of bay frontage, a private marina, and sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Construction of Onda is estimated to begin this November with completion slated for 2023.

PROFILEmiami: What are your plans for Onda and what does “Onda” mean?

Valerio: When my partner Ugo Colombo and I were envisioning Onda, we had a “less is more” philosophy in mind – an intimate boutique-style condominium with large residences and luxury amenities. The project’s most unique feature of all, it’s waterfront location on the shores of the exclusive Bay Harbor Islands, was our biggest inspiration.

Onda is the Italian word for “wave.” With over 300 feet of direct bay frontage, the property will include a private marina for residents, a water sports launch dock with available kayaks, paddle boards and inflatables, and direct ocean access through Miami’s Haulover inlet.

PROFILEmiami: Tell me about the building’s architectural design.

Valerio: We chose Bernardo Fort Brescia of Arquitectonica for Onda’s architectural design. Bernardo is a world class architect that knows how to translate the beauty of this city into design. That's what he successfully did with Onda, reflecting the movement of the water and the beauty of the bay into the building’s exterior façade with its undulating balconies.

We have always imagined a place immersed in nature, facing the crystal waters of Biscayne Bay and overlooking Haulover natural park, an oasis of peace and tranquility. Steps away from the best shopping, restaurants, beaches and schools in this city. A place where people can connect with nature, enjoy watersports and boating thanks to the marina and the immediate proximity to the ocean. A place where residents can relax and reinvigorate in the spa and gym. A small, private and fully amenitized building in a unique location that makes life easy and filled with great experiences.

PROFILEmiami: What about the rest of the design team and the interiors?

Valerio: We partnered with A++ Human Sustainable Architecture to imagine the building’s interior design and amenity spaces, and with Enzo Enea of Enea Garden Design to create a signature landscape design for the surrounding grounds.

Onda’s interior décor is being imagined by Carlo and Paolo Colombo, the creative masterminds and founders behind A++. The partners, who are both from Milan, the design capital of the world, have built their reputation by designing and building architectural projects – from hotels and restaurants, to residences and commercial spaces – inspired and heavily rooted on the vision of sustainability and well-being.

Their design of the building incorporates natural materials and textures amid light wooden floors, stone and marble accents, and mid-century style furnishings – all in tones of white, beige, gray, brown and gold. Lush green foliage and planters are incorporated into every space, with views of the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay on full display.

We wanted Miami’s tropical spirit to come together with an Italian sense of style and elegance, and I believe we have achieved it through these great collaborations.

PROFILEmiami: What makes Bay Harbor Islands so unique?

Valerio: Bay Harbor Islands has been Miami’s best kept secret. It’s a quiet and charming neighborhood surrounded by some of South Florida’s finest shopping, beaches, and schools. The area is synonymous with an upscale, family-oriented lifestyle that appeals to buyers from across the country and around the world. You can be close to the ocean without having to deal with the traffic and hustle-and-bustle of Miami Beach.

PROFILEmiami: What types of buyers are purchasing residences at Onda?

Valerio: The vast majority – more than 80 percent – of our buyers are coming from across the U.S., particularly the northeast markets. We are seeing an uptick in demand from domestic buyers looking to relocate from major U.S. cities lured by South Florida’s quality of life, lower business and living expenses, and tax-friendly policies.

Our buyers are attracted the quality of our finishes and construction, our large residences, our private boutique model, our amenities – and overall, our unmatched waterfront lifestyle. Onda provides all the conveniences of luxury condo living on the Miami waterfront, but at less cost than a single-family house.

Our private marina and direct ocean access via the Haulover inlet is a huge selling point for buyers with boats.

The Former Site of Bal Harbour Yacht Club Sells For Record $54.931 Million As Luxury Home Site

The former site of the Bal Harbour Yacht Club has sold for a county record of $54.931 million after hitting the market in March for $65 million. The transaction was overseen by Tony Imbesi of Douglas Elliman who represented the seller, and Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman who represented the buyer. The 80,040 SF lot was recently converted into a residential home site by real estate investor Joseph Imbesi, who purchased the Bal Harbour Club in the 1990’s. Adam Neuman purchased another property from Imbesi on Bal Harbour Marina just last week for $44 million.

Located at 200 Bal Bay Drive, the 80,040 SF lot is where the Bal Harbour Yacht Club building, designed by Alfred Browning Parker, once stood. The property is a peninsula with 915’ of waterfront spanning three sides and also features 200’ of road frontage. It comes with 7 boat slips on the inside of the protected waterway where the buyer will have the riparian rights to build new docks or helipad. Land under water on inside of marina is privately owned so you have the ability to do something creative that extends far off of the seawall.

Imbesi purchased the shares of the Bal Harbour Club in the 1990s for $19,000,000. The Bal Harbour Club owned 5.5 acres on the beach, where Oceana Bal Harbour is now located and 10 acres on the bay, where the marina sits. The properties were owned by the proprietary members of the club and they wanted to sell so Imbesi bought all of the individual shares to gain control of the company and the assets that it owned.
