Onda’s prime Bay Harbor Islands location offers more than 300 linear feet of bay frontage and sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Among Onda’s most popular features is its private marina with 15 boat slips, which are exclusively available for residents to purchase. The development will also include a water sports launch dock with kayaks, paddle boards and inflatables available for use, in addition to direct ocean access through Miami’s Haulover inlet.
Building amenities will include a rooftop pool deck and lounge area; a state-of-the-art fitness center with Technogym equipment, a yoga studio, a spa with massage treatment rooms, changing facilities, and steam bath and sauna rooms.

The building will offer an integrated digital concierge along with readily accessible WiFi throughout all public spaces, and FTTH (fiber to the home) technology for voice, video and high-speed internet.

Clara Bay Harbor’s first building is slated to break ground this March.
The Miami-based Clara Homes, led by James Curnin, has closed on a $26 million construction loan financed by Maxim Capital for Clara Bay Harbor. The three-building development, Miami’s most anticipated new ground-up luxury rental community, will feature 150 total residences with five-star service and a suite of thoughtful amenities. Clara Bay Harbor’s first building is slated to break ground this March, with completion anticipated for Spring/Summer 2024. The entire master plan is expected to complete by the end of 2025. Clara Homes is a Miami-based vertically integrated real estate firm specializing in residential and commercial development, custom single-family homes and operations oversight.
“We are committed to bringing buildings to market that elevate luxury rental living across South Florida,” says James Curnin, CEO and Founder of Clara Homes. “This construction loan reaffirms the vision and confidence we have in Clara Bay Harbor. The project will offer renters high quality residences, designed with the same sophistication and style as our custom homes.”
Nestled between the world-famous Bal Harbour Shops and Miami’s exclusive Indian Creek, Clara Bay Harbor will offer an enviable lifestyle and location in the heart of Bay Harbor. Situated just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean as well as the best shopping and dining in the city, Bay Harbor is one of the most desirable residential areas in Miami, celebrated for its small-town feel and focus on community. The waterfront neighborhood is now transforming into an exclusive luxury destination with the development of new high-profile projects such as Clara Bay Harbor. The three buildings of Clara Bay Harbor will set a new standard for rental living across South Florida.
“Clara Homes is an experienced South Florida builder and a longtime Maxim client,” said Adam Glick, principal and cofounder of Maxim Capital Group. “We’re looking forward to completing a luxury rental building in one of the fastest growing markets in the country with one of the best residential developers in the Miami area.”
Construction for Clara Bay Harbor will be completed in three phases. The first phase introduces the first of three six-story buildings. Located at 10281 W. Bay Harbor Drive, the first building will tout 28 luxury two-to-five bedroom rental residences, a parking garage, and an amenitized rooftop space encompassing a swimming pool, exercise area, and sundeck. The other two buildings located at 1147-1163 100th Street and 10200 East Bay Harbor Drive are scheduled to break ground later this year.
Clara Bay Harbor is Clara Homes’s first South Florida multifamily development, following the firm’s success developing, building and selling numerous Miami and Los Angeles luxury spec homes for above market rate prices. Curnin got his start in the industry working under the late legendary developer Jack Parker, his great-grandfather, in New York City on high-profile projects such as Parker Meridian Hotels, Parker Towers, Parker Plaza and Truffles Tribeca.
Leasing for Clara Bay Harbor will be exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

The new luxury waterfront development will offer 57 expansive two-to-four bedroom residences, spanning between 1,400 to 2,100 square feet and starting at $1.3 million with boat slips also be available for purchase.
Bay Harbor Islands serves as the serene residential destination for discerning buyers seeking a calm and balanced approach to life. 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. Due to its ideal waterfront location, La Baia North is designed for premiere outdoor entertainment and enjoyment. Complete with private boat slips along Indian Creek Waterway, the development offers 20,000 square feet of resort-style outdoor amenities, including over 8,500 square feet of lavish landscaping and open green spaces, an expansive poolside sundeck, heated soaking spas, and a sunset lounge with an accompanying fire pit.

The Continuum Company experienced great success with La Baia South, which launched sales in October and sold out in under six months. La Baia’s serene cove-like setting, well-appointed resort-style amenities, and spacious, airy feel contributed to the extraordinary sales velocity, outperforming the competition in the area's luxury condominium market. Buyers from the Northeast and other major metropolitans see the value the Bay Harbor neighborhood brings and are betting big on its future.
“Bay Harbor Islands is a prime real estate location for buyers looking for an escape and adventure all at the same time,” says Philip Gutman, President of PGutman LLC, who is leading sales for the development. “We are incredibly excited to bring the next iteration of the La Baia brand with our North tower to this particular vibrant, private community, and we anticipate it will transform the way we understand and experience luxury waterfront living.”

PPG Development, led by Ari Pearl, have acquired Bay Harbor Towers, located at 10141 and 10143 East Bay Harbor Drive. The 1.03-acre property sold for $32 million, which equated to a price of $1,066,667 per existing unit. The transaction was overseen by Cary Cohen of Blanca Commercial Real Estate and Deme Mekras of MSP Group.
Prior to the marketing of the site, the Board of Directors at Bay Harbor Towers designated a committee and instructed them to explore the sale, which led to their interviewing and receiving proposals from several brokerage houses, including some of the world’s largest firms. After a highly competitive interview process, the committee elected to have Cary Cohen of Blanca Commercial Real Estate along with Deme Mekras, of MSP Group, represent the many owners of Bay Harbor Towers. The duo signed exclusive listings with 100% of the 30-unit owners and commenced a far-reaching marketing campaign.
“Bay Harbor is no longer Dade County’s hidden treasure. Our extensive marketing process elicited global interest from numerous top-tier developers, as we expected, given the truly unique nature of this opportunity,” said the listing team. The duo shared that “Coordinating a sale of an entire association is one of the most rewarding transactions. It brings life changing wealth to so many people as the existing units traded for over 300% of their market value on an individual basis.” This rare, waterfront Bay Harbor Islands development site was highly sought after due to its immediate views of Biscayne Bay, Bal Harbor, Sunny Isles and distant views of South Beach, Edgewater, and Downtown Miami.
The buyer, PPG Development, LLC, led by Founder and CEO, Ari Pearl, is a commercial and residential real estate developer focused on the South Florida market, which has a substantial pipeline of development projects already underway, such as 700 planned multifamily units in North Miami Beach and the ongoing redevelopment of the Diplomat in Hallandale. PPG also has recent experience in Bay Harbor market with their purchase of The Altair Hotel.
“Development sites with amazing bay views rarely come to market anywhere in Miami, much less on coveted Bay Harbor Islands. Ultimately, a significant bidding war ensued leading to a $32 million sales price,” they continued, “and we firmly believe this was a win-win for both buyer and sellers,” said list agents Cary Cohen and Deme Mekras.
