Continuum Company Launches Continuum Club & Residences in North Bay Village

Continuum Company in partnership with Aksoy Holdings, Turkish developer of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bodrum, are proud to announce the official launch of sales for Continuum Club & Residences, the newest luxury bayfront condominium in Miami's exclusive North Bay Village. The project represents the unveiling of Continuum 2.0 – the second-ever Contniuum branded residences, and the latest addition to the Miami portfolio of visionary developer Ian Bruce Eichner, renowned in South Florida for his role in creating the iconic Continuum South Beach, and transforming the South of Fifth neighborhood into what it is today. Continuum Club & Residences is slated to break ground in winter of 2024.

"We're excited to pioneer another neighborhood evolution. Our optimism for North Bay Village drives our dedication to usher in a new era for this community. With its stunning views, beach and mainland access, and private island community, choosing this location for our second Continuum-branded project was an easy decision.”

Douglas Elliman Development Marketing has been selected as the exclusive sales and marketing brokerage for Continuum Club & Residences, along with Phil Gutman in an advisory role to the developer. Also coined Continuum 2.0, the boldly enriched project sits on the last untouched island community in Biscayne Bay, providing effortless access to Miami's exquisite beaches, upscale shopping districts, Michelin-star dining, golf courses, beach clubs, and South Florida's highest-rated schools. In addition to its many attractions, North Bay Village is set to become the official training facility for the Argentina Football Association (AFA), fueled by Lionel Messi’s arrival.

"North Bay Village offers an ideal setting for buyers seeking both the privacy of an island community and the proximity to Miami’s hottest new restaurants and neighborhoods," said Jay Phillip Parker, CEO of Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, who heads the sales for the project. "We're excited to present the next phase of Continuum within this bold waterfront development that truly curates a vibe of its own.”

Continuum Company assembled a world-class team, combining architecture by the renowned Arquitectonica, interiors curated by Durukan Design, and landscape architecture by Martha Schwartz Partners (MSP), to create a chic and vibrant aesthetic. The residences will offer a variety of spacious floor plans, each featuring private wrap-around terraces with sunset to sunrise views from every residence. Merging style and substance, the best-in-class kitchens present state-of-the-art Subzero/Wolf integrated appliances, custom European cabinetry, a culinary island and quartz countertops. Stepping into primary baths, residents will find marble stone flooring, dual rainfall showerheads overlooking the water, arched mirrors and Dornbracht fittings.

Continuing to cater to the lifestyle brand that Continuum has curated, Continuum Club & Residences will offer over 50,000 SF of transformative indoor and outdoor amenities. Facilitating a luxurious resort lifestyle on the water, the project will feature a waterfront resort pool with cabana seating, a garden pool for recreational activities, a jacuzzi plunge, a marina with boating pickup and drop off, and a waterfront lawn for social ventures. For residents who desire a wellness destination to call home, the development will feature a state-of-the-art indoor fitness studio and separate movement studio, as well as an immersive resident spa, with private treatment rooms, cryotherapy chamber and infrared sauna. Active residents will also have access to a double-height indoor sports court for pickleball and other games, along with a watersports dock stocked with all your floating needs, including kayaks and paddleboards.

Enriched in livability, Continuum Club & Residences features several culinary and entertainment activities, such as a destination waterfront restaurant with dining terraces and resident charging privileges, a private dining room, outdoor dining pavilion, and exclusive Continuum 24/7 Marketplace and Minibar. With convenience at the center of it all, the project also features a Continuum Resident’s App, E/V Charging Stations, secured bicycle and e-bike storage, temper-controlled storage and Tesla House car.

The Continuum Company Acquires North Bay Village Development Site For $35 Million

New York based development firm The Continuum Company has closed on the purchase of 1755 Kennedy Causeway, a 1.34-acre site in Miami’s exclusive North Bay Village. Samuel Heskiel, CEO and Co-Founder at Beachfront Realty was the land broker for this deal, which was purchased by the firm for $35,000,000.

This land purchase marks the latest in Miami for New York developer Ian Bruce Eichner, who is well known for developing the Continuum South Beach in Miami’s South of 5th neighborhood, as well as launching their latest project La Baia. The site plan approval allows the firm to build a 31-story, 201-unit luxury condominium with a 13,415 square foot waterfront restaurant with over 45,000 square feet of resort-style amenities.

“With astonishing views, access to the beach and mainland, and a private island community, this was an obvious choice for our second-ever Continuum-branded project,” said Alexandra Eichner, President of Continuum Florida.

The firm plans to come to market with their second ever Continuum-branded project in South Florida Q4 of 2023.

“We envision North Bay Village the same way we once envisioned South of Fifth – with enormous potential for growth,” said Ian Bruce Eichner, Chairman and CEO of Continuum Company. “We believe the neighborhood is primed to undergo a radical transformation and we are excited to lead the way. We are bullish on North Bay Village and excited to continue to be a developer that ushers in a new era for the community.”

Set for a dramatic transformation, North Bay Village serves as a small enclave encompassed by two small islands between Miami Beach and the mainland of Biscayne Bay. With the neighborhood itself separated from the bustle of the nearby metro of Miami, the city's numerous attractions are still within a short drive including premiere shopping and the beach, showcasing the best of both worlds.

North Bay Village went almost a decade without any new developments, featuring more single-family homes than high-rises to keep a quaint community feel. According to Miami-Dade records, by 2025 five new condo developments are expected to be delivered. Pacific & Orient Properties recently broke ground on 7918 West Drive, a waterfront luxury condo development, and Shoma Group is developing Shoma Bay with a Publix and Shoma Bazaar food hall.

The Continuum Company experienced great success with La Baia South, which launched sales in October and sold out in under six months. Well known for producing visionary real estate developments, Bruce has an array of projects headlining his portfolio, including Madison Square Park Tower, City Spire, One Broadway Place, The Manhattan Club, The Royale and Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, the Continuum South Beach and the Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas strip.

CATCH Returning To Miami Beach After Signing Lease With Robert Rivani's Black Lion At Continuum Space

Swanky seafood hotspot CATCH will return to Miami Beach after inking a lease at Robert Rivani’s Black Lion Investment Group’s Continuum restaurant space. Led by the powerhouse team behind Catch Hospitality Group (CHG), Tilman J. Fertitta, Mark Birnbaum, and Eugene Remm, CATCH MIAMI BEACH will open in 2023 and will mark the seventh outpost of the highly acclaimed brand, with locations in New York, LA, Las Vegas, and Aspen, with more in the pipeline.

“On the heels of two successful openings on the west coast, we are ready and eager to continue our expansion,” said Tilman Fertitta, Catch Hospitality Group partner. “Miami Beach has experienced tremendous growth over the last few years and the city’s evolving dining scene makes it the perfect time to bring our iconic brand to one of the greatest destinations in the world.”

Slated to open in the fall of 2023, the globally-influenced seafood restaurant will be located in Miami Beach’s illustrious SoFi neighborhood. CATCH MIAMI BEACH will be perfectly situated alongside Miami’s premier waterfront real estate, near some of the city’s highly-coveted and highest-grossing restaurants, including Prime One Twelve, CARBONE, Joe’s Stone Crab, and Milos.

Much like its New York, Los Angeles and Aspen counterparts, the expansive 22,000 sq ft restaurant is divided evenly between indoor dining and an open air terrace with retractable rooftop and will be designed by Rockwell Group, the famed interdisciplinary design team behind CATCH STEAK ASPEN and CATCH STEAK LA. With this location, Rockwell Group took the energy and excitement of the original Los Angeles location, an open-air haven, and amplified it to create a fantastical, tropical escape. CATCH MIAMI BEACH’s design celebrates the many elements of its vibrant surroundings from the neighborhood’s history as a golden playground in the 1920s to the city’s lush landscape and balmy nights and the iconic Floridian "Mediterranean Deco" architecture. Refined materials, such as bronze, antique mirror, bold marble, lacquer paints, venetian plaster and rich contrasting woods, are intricately layered with lush florals and dramatic lighting inside a sumptuous conservatory-inspired atmosphere.

“We are thrilled to bring the CATCH experience to Miami Beach,” said Mark Birnbaum, Catch Hospitality Group partner. “With its unparalleled indoor / outdoor dining and expansive retractable rooftop, this location is the perfect place for the next CATCH outpost. We look forward to welcoming the community into CATCH and hope they are as excited as we are to enjoy all the restaurant has to offer.”

Featuring modern renditions of classic dishes, CATCH’s streaming, shareable style of dining marries simple yet elegant seafood, sushi, and steak with excellent service and a lively vibe. The menu at CATCH MIAMI BEACH will offer many of the classic CATCH dishes the brand has become known for, alongside locally influenced dishes. In addition to a la carte service, the restaurant will be available for private and semi-private events, offering the quintessential Miami Beach backdrop.

“Following our recent openings in Aspen and LA, I am so excited to announce this location in a city that has become a second home for me. Miami Beach is a very special place, and I am looking forward to bringing CATCH’s three pillars of great food, service and vibe to this coastal city.” said Eugene Remm, one of three Catch Hospitality Group partners.

CATCH MIAMI BEACH will be located at 200 South Pointe Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33139 and occupy the crown jewel restaurant space at the iconic Continuum building, owned by President of Black Lion, Robert Rivani.

“CATCH MIAMI BEACH is a game changer for the neighborhood and Miami Beach as whole,” said Rivani. “Black Lion acquired this one-of-a-kind building with a mission to curate a distinctive hospitality scene in South Point’s ‘Restaurant Row’ and CATCH is the ideal brand to usher in a new era of elevated hospitality and dining.”

Ian Bruce Eichner's Continuum Company Closes On Bay Harbor Waterfront Development Site, Plan September Sales Launch

Ian Bruce Eichner, developer of the Continuum South Beach, an iconic luxury condo tower in Miami Beach’s exclusive South of Fifth neighborhood, is back in South Florida with a new project involving two of the last large-scale vacant land parcels remaining in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida.

Eichner’s Continuum Company close on two properties located at 9201 East Bay Harbor Drive and 9461 East Bay Harbor Drive for $29,500,000. Phil Gutman oversaw the transaction and will be spearheading sales and marketing efforts for the project. Eichner submitted plans to the city, which are subject to modification, calling for two 7-story condominium towers with a combined 142 units and 34 boat slips.

“We’ve been looking for the right development opportunity to re-enter the Florida market. Bay Harbor is an overlooked neighborhood with many of the same attributes that contributed to the desirability and success of Continuum South Beach,” said Eichner.

Presales are anticipated to launch this September with a planned December groundbreaking. The 23-month construction schedule calls for a November 2023 delivery date. As with the Continuum South Beach, this Bay Harbor project will offer the same high quality deliverables and finishes that have become hallmarks of the Continuum Company.

“Bay Harbor is a phenomenal community. Steps from the beach and walking distance of the Bal Harbor Shops, we envision a development that will offer Bay-front living with boat slips that will allow residents to take full advantage of direct access to Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic and nearby boating destinations like the Bahamas and Florida Keys,” said Eichner.

Oceanfront Condo At Continuum South Beach Closes For Record $2,400 Per Foot At $4.2 Million

Unit 2607 at Continuum South Beach has sold for a record setting highest price per square foot paid for a 2 bedroom unit. Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman represented the seller, Never Again Ventures, LLC in the $4.2 million transaction which sold to a buyer from Connecticut for $2,400 per foot. Designed by a top NYC interior design firm using only the best materials throughout, this direct oceanfront unit was completely gutted and rebuilt, including new plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems.

CONTINUUM Reveals New Multi-Million Dollar ArquitectonicaGEO-Designed Grounds Renovation

South Florida’s award-winning architectural and branding firm, ArquitectonicaGEO, has been appointed to spearhead a multi-million dollar renovation project for the grounds of Continuum on South Beach, starting in May and anticipated to last between 18 and 24 months. This is the first renovation undertaken by Continuum since it was built 19 years ago. ArquitectonicaGEO will redesign the exterior of the property, from the South of Fifth public roadway leading to the entrance of the property, through to the Upper Rotunda situated between the two towers. The design incorporates the latest in local Florida plant life, trees, landscaping and water fixtures to further embellish the pedestrian neighborhood in and around the South Pointe corner.

“We are very excited to open the next chapter in our progressive journey to establish a new and improved identity,” says Rishi Idnani, Managing Director of Continuum On South Beach. “For almost two decades Continuum On South Beach has become established as the crown jewel in South of Fifth. The brand has grown to become recognized on an international scale, well beyond Miami Beach. We therefore thought it necessary to reflect this growth and reputation in our logo and corporate identity. We are also pleased to be working with one of today’s leading brand architects, ArquitectonicaGEO, for the outdoor renovation and transformation of our grounds that will ultimately mark a new beginning for the entire aesthetic of the Continuum and its surrounding neighborhood.”

ArquitectonicaGEO designed the exterior renovation around the theme of “Infinite Wellbeing” in-line with the resort-style philosophy of the property. The brief was to transform and embellish the outdoor space at the Continuum so residents and visitors utilize it to its maximum potential over time. Tree species currently being selected for the project include the Autograph Tree, Pigeon Plum, Green Buttonwood and Gumbo Limbo. The existing water fountain fixture in the Lower Rotunda will be replaced with a “Specimen Tree” to establish a more interesting and statuesque aesthetic during the arrival experience. The large water fountain within the Upper Rotunda will be replaced with a smaller, more tranquil water fixture, together with green foliage and plants that will encourage pedestrians to sit around. Multiple pathways will also be formed through the center of the rotunda, creating a walkway that does not interfere with arriving vehicles or valet.

“Our aim is to entice homeowners and their guests to be outside as much as possible,” says Michelle Cintron, Vice President of ArquitectonicaGEO. “If we increase the lushness for the pedestrian and bring them closer to nature, they are more likely to use their grounds and even arrive by foot instead of by car. This can be achieved by introducing some tropical plants and trees that are native to Florida and more recognizable to everyone. The end goal of this transformation is also functionality, performance and to establish long-term maintenance of the property as a whole. Part of the project will naturally result in beautifying the surrounding neighborhood to make it more pedestrian friendly,” adds Cintron. “This will potentially activate the nearby retail area to a larger extent.”

Other changes at Continuum include a name change as the building, formerly known over the last 19 years as “Continuum on South Beach,” has decided to change the corporate identity of the luxury property to now be simply known as “Continuum.” Fully established and recognized across the country by global homeowners, Continuum is re-positioning itself as an international property, owned by international residents.

“For more than 18 years, the Continuum has enjoyed widespread recognition as one of the nation’s market leaders in elite luxury living,” says Keith Marks, Board President and Chairman for the Continuum On South Beach Master Association. “To strengthen our position as pioneering among residents looking for the preeminent lifestyle offered, we thought it necessary to open a new chapter for the identity and aura of the property, that will ultimately enhance our unique appeal in contemporary design and serenity.”
