Miami-based developer Shoma Group has broken ground on Shoma Bay in the waterfront community of North Bay Village, Florida. With this groundbreaking, Shoma Group aims to fill a significant gap in the North Bay Village community, which has been virtually untouched from a development standpoint for approximately a decade. Since its launch in September 2022, Shoma Bay has become the benchmark for future residential projects in North Bay Village. Masoud Shojaee, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Shoma Group, recognized the island’s potential as a hidden gem early on, making Shoma Bay the first development to capitalize on North Bay Village’s evolution.

"We are thrilled to commence the construction of Shoma Bay, a project that exemplifies our commitment to delivering exceptional residential experiences," said Masoud Shojaee, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Shoma Group. "This groundbreaking marks the beginning of a new era in North Bay Village, where residents will have the opportunity to embrace a luxurious bay-front lifestyle in one of Miami's most sought-after communities."

Shoma Bay will offer 333 luxury residences, three of which have been combined into larger units. The project’s assortment of meticulously designed floor plans include furnished studios to three-bedroom units, ranging from 344 to 2,700 square feet, and 10 penthouses; Masoud and his wife Stephanie Shojaee, President of Shoma Group, will be residing in one of these penthouses. Pricing of available inventory starts at $750,000 with ISG World as the exclusive sales team for Shoma Bay.

Each residence will be thoughtfully crafted to optimize comfort and functionality, with abundant natural light and elegant finishes curated by renowned designer Adriana Hoyos. By blending classic art-deco elements with a contemporary aesthetic, the building's sophisticated design and thoughtfully crafted amenities will cater to individuals seeking a holistic approach to living, seamlessly integrating work, wellness, and leisure.

Separate from the offerings of the standard residences, Shoma Bay’s penthouses will showcase unique finishes. Penthouse kitchens will feature an exclusive Gaggenau Appliance Collection, including a French Door Panel-Ready Refrigerator and Freezer, a Panel-Ready dishwasher, a Wall Oven, and an Induction Cooktop. The bathrooms will feature an exclusive Armani Bathroom Collection, including a Frameless Rain Shower and a Designer Soaking Tub in select units.

The development will also include a resident lounge and bar, a spa with a hammam, a golf simulator, a two-story state-of-the-art fitness center, a pet spa, a kids club, a theater room, a wine cellar, a cigar lounge, and a Zen Garden with fire pits. The highlight of the development will be the expansive 6,030-square-foot pool deck, offering panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, complete with a pool, cabanas, and a summer kitchen. Residents will also benefit from designated parking, electric vehicle charging stations, a bike room, storage spaces, a grocery delivery room, and other conveniences. Additionally, the project will be anchored by a 35,037-square-foot Publix supermarket and 15,628 square feet of retail space, which includes a rooftop lounge.

"We are incredibly excited to break ground on Shoma Bay and embark on this transformative journey in North Bay Village," said Stephanie Shojaee.

Shoma Group Launches Condo Sales At Shoma Bay In North Bay Village

Miami-based developer Shoma Group has launched sales for Shoma Bay, a 21-story, 327-unit condominium on the corner of the 79th Street Causeway and East Treasure Drive in the waterfront community of North Bay Village. The 2.8-acre mixed-use development will be anchored by a 36,068-square-foot Publix and 6,325 square feet of retail space, which includes a rooftop lounge and a Shoma Bazaar food hall. ISG World, led by principal and owner Craig Studnicky, is the exclusive brokerage for the property’s condos. Prices start at $400,000.

“North Bay Village is an extremely desirable location in Miami thanks to its fantastic water views on all sides, rich history and proximity to the beaches, the Design District and Bal Harbour,” said Masoud Shojaee, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Shoma Group. “There is incredible demand to live in South Florida and we are meeting this demand by creating brand new condos and a city-within-a-city community where residents will have top notch dining, shopping and entertainment at their doorstep.”

The condominiums at Shoma Bay will range from 360-square-foot furnished studios to 1,447-square-foot three-bedroom units. They will offer striking water views of Biscayne Bay, modern appliances with sleek finishes, and floor plans designed to maximize efficiency and comfort, as well as close proximity to nearby shopping, dining, and school options. Amenities at Shoma Bay include a resident lounge and bar, spa, fitness center with Technogym equipment, pet spa and kids club, as well as a 6,030-square-foot pool deck with panoramic water views overlooking Biscayne Bay with a pool, cabanas, and summer kitchen.

North Bay Village has long been one of Miami’s best kept secrets and we’re already seeing a surge of buyers who are extremely eager to be part of it.”

Shoma Bay was designed by MSA Architects with interiors by renowned designer Adriana Hoyos. Both designers worked with North Bay Village’s historic legacy and art-deco style in mind, paying homage to its popular restaurant and nightlife scenes in the 1950s and 60s. It will rise on the site of what once was Rat Pack crooner Dean Martin’s nightclub in the 1960s and 70s.

"North Bay Village has a rich history that's just one facet of what makes it so unique, and we are thrilled to have a hand in its next chapter,” said Stephanie Shojaee, President of Shoma Group. “We are excited for Shoma Bay to offer not only an exceptional place to live but also an essential amenity with fantastic dining and entertainment experiences for all residents of North Bay Village to enjoy."

Shoma Bay is located at 1850 John F. Kennedy Causeway, North Bay Village, FL 33141. It is slated to break ground early next year and take 18 months to complete.

OKO Group and Cain International Complete $74 Million in Condo Sales Since the Start of the New Year at Miami’s Missoni Baia and Una Residences

Miami’s newest luxury condominium towers are tapping into a surge of domestic buyers fueled by the city’s desirable quality of life, lower business and living expenses, and Florida’s tax-friendly policies. At Missoni Baia and Una Residences, two new luxury towers under development by OKO Group and Cain International in Miami, approximately $74 million in sales have been completed in the last 60 days. The vast majority of units sold have been purchased by domestic buyers, reflecting the influx of new residents pouring into South Florida from cold weather and tax-burdened states.

This recent surge in sales from domestic buyers is the latest example of how business and wealth migration is fueling the South Florida condo market. The pandemic, coupled with people and companies looking to relocate from major U.S. cities – specifically in the Northeast and Midwest regions – to tax-friendly states with reduced business and living expenses, is enticing out-of-state residents to make the move to South Florida, with this trend expected to continue throughout 2021.

According to a recent report by brokerage ISG World, domestic buyers have taken over as the leading source of new condo purchases in Miami and Fort Lauderdale during the pandemic, with only 3.9 percent of recently completed units remaining unsold in December 2020. The latest statistics support that fierce competition and ballooning prices for single-family homes in South Florida are driving buyers toward condominiums instead.

“We’ve just had our best month of sales, and we’re seeing demand for condos intensify as the inventory of single-family homes continues to dwindle and Miami’s newest residents put emphasis on low maintenance, high-touch service and amenities that only a condo can offer,” said Vanessa Grout, CEO of OKO Real Estate, the sales and marketing arm of OKO Group. “Now that remote work has become so prolific and many people can work from wherever they choose, we’re seeing buyers from cities like New York, Chicago and San Francisco making the move to South Florida. They’re attracted by our lifestyle, our diverse culture and business community, and an overall quality of life.”

Now under construction, Missoni Baia and Una Residences are being developed by a partnership between OKO Group, one of South Florida’s most active and successful luxury development firms helmed by international real estate mogul Vladislav Doronin, and Cain International, a privately held investment firm with over $6.3 billion in real estate equity, debt and leisure business investments led by Jonathan Goldstein.

“This accelerated sales momentum reaffirms our strong belief in Miami's innovation, culture and lifestyle and its future as a global gateway city. We are extremely pleased with the progress across our Miami portfolio and look forward to delivering two world-class developments to the city’s residential market and welcoming their residents in the near future.” said Jonathan Goldstein, CEO of Cain International.

Designed by Hani Rashid of Asymptote Architecture, Missoni Baia is a 57-story luxury residential tower now rising on Biscayne Bay in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. As the Missoni brand’s first-ever residential project, the Italian fashion house is incorporating its trademark colorful design palette and Missoni Home furniture collection into the tower’s vibrant interiors, including all public spaces and amenity areas. The waterfront tower’s 249 residences range from one- to five-bedroom layouts measuring between 776 and 3,788 square feet in size. Units are priced from approximately $950,000 to upwards of $9 million. Construction of the 649-foot-tall tower is well underway and is expected to be completed in late 2021.

The 47-story Una Residences tower, designed by internationally renowned Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture (AS+GG), is situated on Miami’s waterfront in the city’s picturesque and private South Brickell neighborhood. Private elevators open up into the glass tower’s 135 spacious residences, which range from two- to five-bedrooms and measure between 1,100 to 4,786 square feet in size – with all units boasting unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay and the Miami city skyline. Units are priced from $2.2 million to $7.4 million, with two ultra-exclusive penthouses with private pools priced up to $21.6 million. Construction of the 579-foot-tall tower is underway, with completion expected in 2023.

Additionally, OKO Group and Cain International are developing 830 Brickell, a class A-plus office tower also designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, currently under construction in the heart of Brickell’s Financial District. OKO Group’s plans to bring an Aman Hotel & Residences to Miami Beach were also recently approved by the City of Miami Beach. Construction of the ultra-luxury development is expected to start this year.

Cain International was recently appointed to lead the strategic reposition of the famed Delano hotel in Miami’s South Beach, adding to the firms growing hospitality footprint across global gateway cities. Cain’s additional US hospitality investment assets include the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and the Raffles Hotel and Residences Boston Back Bay. The firm has also partnered with OKO Group on the financing of the Aman Hotel & Residences in New York City’s historic Crown Building.
