Development Spotlight: Tula Residences North Bay Village

Few emerging waterfront communities in South Florida are experiencing as much transformation as North Bay Village. Positioned between Miami and Miami Beach, the three-island community is quickly evolving into one of the region's next luxury residential destinations, attracting a new generation of boutique waterfront developments.

Among the projects helping define that evolution is Tula Residences, a refined collection of just 54 luxury homes overlooking Biscayne Bay. Developed by Bayshore Grove Capital in partnership with Pacific & Orient Properties, the 21-story tower combines contemporary architecture, expansive corner residences, and wellness-focused amenities within an intimate waterfront setting. As construction progresses, Tula represents both the resurgence of a long-anticipated project and the continued emergence of North Bay Village as one of South Florida's most compelling luxury real estate markets. The tower is already under construction with an expected completion in 2027.

Project Overview

As North Bay Village enters a new era of waterfront redevelopment, Tula Residences is helping define its future. Rising directly on Biscayne Bay at 7918 West Drive, the boutique condominium introduces 54 luxury residences within a thoughtfully designed 21-story tower that blends privacy, architecture, and wellness-focused living.

Developed by Bayshore Grove Capital in partnership with Pacific & Orient Properties, Tula is one of the first new luxury condominium developments to move forward in North Bay Village in more than a decade. With construction actively underway, the project represents an important milestone in the transformation of the three-island community into one of South Florida's emerging luxury waterfront destinations.

Why It Matters

North Bay Village has quietly become one of South Florida's most closely watched redevelopment markets. Positioned between Miami and Miami Beach, the island community offers waterfront living with exceptional accessibility while remaining significantly more intimate than many neighboring luxury markets.

Tula arrives at a pivotal moment for the neighborhood, introducing boutique-scale luxury residences that emphasize spacious floor plans, expansive outdoor living, and panoramic Biscayne Bay views. As one of the first new condominium developments to advance during the area's renaissance, the project is helping establish a new benchmark for residential design and quality in North Bay Village.

Architecture & Design

Designed by M77R (Matter), Tula embraces contemporary waterfront architecture through soft curves, expansive glass, and sculptural wraparound terraces that maximize views from every residence.

The building's distinctive "corner-only" floor plan ensures abundant natural light and panoramic exposures throughout while creating a more private residential experience with only four residences per typical floor.

Interiors by Shannon Farrell Design feature warm natural materials, refined detailing, and an understated palette inspired by coastal living. Kitchens showcase marble countertops and backsplashes, bespoke millwork, and fully integrated Miele appliances, while primary bathrooms feature sculptural stone finishes, custom vanities, and spa-inspired detailing.

Residences

Tula offers an exclusive collection of just 54 residences, including six penthouses occupying the tower's upper levels. Pricing starts at $1.9 million with sales overseen by Brown Harris Stevens.

Residence highlights include:

• Two-bedroom, two-bedroom plus den, and three-bedroom residences

• Approximately 1,590 to 2,440 square feet

• Six penthouses ranging from approximately 3,700 to 4,140 square feet

• All residences are corner homes

• Expansive wraparound glass terraces

• 10-foot ceilings

• Floor-to-ceiling windows

• Custom European flooring

• Fully integrated Miele appliance packages

• Walk-in laundry rooms

• Panoramic Biscayne Bay, city and ocean views where available

Amenities

Designed around wellness and everyday waterfront living, Tula's amenity collection balances relaxation, entertainment, and hospitality.

Amenities include:

• Resort-style waterfront pool with landscaped deck and private cabanas

• Grand lobby with 24-hour concierge

• Residents' lounge overlooking Biscayne Bay

Pacific & Orient Properties Reveals And Breaks Ground On Japanese-Inspired 7918 West Drive North Bay Village Luxury Condo

Pacific & Orient Properties, LLC has revealed and broken ground on the limited edition Japanese-inspired 7918 West Drive, the first luxury waterfront condominium to break ground in North Bay Village in over a decade. Located at 7918 West Drive, the 21-story, 54-residence elegant waterfront condominium development is both uniquely designed and technologically advanced. 7918 West Drive is developed by Pacific & Orient Properties, LLC, a subsidiary of Kuala Lumpur-based Pacific & Orient Berhad. The estimated completion date for the development is March of 2025.

Situated on a 33,600-square-foot lot in North Bay Village, 7918 West Drive sits on the Intracoastal Waterway between El Portal and Normandy Isles. Surrounded by water near a natural preserve, it is located directly on Biscayne Bay and close to both Biscayne Blvd as well as Miami Beach. 7918 West Drive’s advanced technology will include customized software automatization for the latest in privacy, security and convenience. Each unit will feature a high-speed fiber internet IT control center.

A limited edition contemporary development, 7918 West Drive features panoramic views: North Bay Village and Biscayne Bay to the east, a public park to the north, low buildings to the south and uninterrupted water views to the west.

“A chic, serene retreat, 7918 is situated just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet centrally located to exciting attractions,” said Maurizio Pejoves, director of Pacific & Orient Properties. “Merging innovative design and luxury with advanced technology, it is an architectural masterpiece,” he continued.

World-renowned designer Juan Azulay, founder and director of MTTR mgmt, an award-winning creative practice, is the project architect. Using digital design parametric methodologies to optimize the building’s form, Azulay creates undulating panel forms, non-repeating intercut balconies that affect shadows and light lines of lower floor balconies, and an open area system ― a distinctive design that looks to the future.

The customized residences, ranging from 1,677–7,086 square feet total, will have a minimum of two bedrooms, with at least two view exposures to Biscayne Bay. All three-bedroom units will be corner units, and limited to four units per floor. The 3,661-square-foot penthouse will feature five bedrooms, five bathrooms, one half-bathroom, a 1,232-square-foot balcony, and more. None of the residences will be alike in terms of area, glass-line and balcony-interior layout relationships.

Residences will feature a state-of-the-art German Siematic kitchen with Cosentino/Dekton countertops, Miele appliances with mobile technology connection, and Hansgrohe and Kohler plumbing fixtures. Bathrooms will include Dekton finishes and countertops, Spanish quality finishes by Iberia, and an innovative Viega plumbing system. Large balconies will provide a relaxing “indoor-outdoor” lifestyle.

7918 West Drive will feature 15,224 square feet of common areas, 148 parking spaces and 34 storage units. The development will include a pedestrian walkway along Biscayne Bay. Amenities will include a swimming pool, fitness center, elevated garden, club room and state of the art fully equipped Chef’s kitchen.
