Penthouse At Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club Sets New Price Record For Bay Harbor Islands

Penthouse 1 at Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club, the Kobi Karp-designed ultra-luxury boutique development condo on Miami's Bay Harbor Islands, has gone into contract before even being publicly listed. Asking $12 million, the penthouse sale sets a record price for the islands, in terms of total sale price and price per square foot. For comparison, the current condo sale price record for Bay Harbor Islands is $3.325 million, for a condo that sold in 2014.

Penthouse 1 overlooks the exclusive Indian Creek Island, known as "Billionaire's Bunker" and home to the likes of Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady and Ivanka Trump. The full-floor home, the largest penthouse for sale on the islands, spans 5,293 square feet and offers 75 feet of unobstructed waterfront views, as well as a private terrace, wine wall feature and access to the development’s amenity collection, including one of the area's only private yacht clubs, a rooftop pool, spa, fitness center, outdoor screening lounge and more.

The sale comes fewer than three months after Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club launched sales, illustrating the strong demand for luxury new development on the Bay Harbor Islands. Since 2019, the average closed price in Bay Harbor has increased 117% and the average closed price-per-square-foot has increased 85%. The islands are in the midst of a major transformation, emerging as a new luxury destination in a pocket of Miami that feels more like a neighborhood than many other areas.

Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club is being developed by the NYC and Miami-based Landau Properties, led by Jonathan Landau. The boutique building offers nine luxury condominium homes and six yacht slips, providing one of the only private yacht clubs in the area and a sought-after opportunity for waterfront views of the coveted Indian Creek Island and exclusive Indian Creek Country Club. Sales and marketing are exclusively overseen by OFFICIAL Partners.

The eight-story waterfront development is being designed by acclaimed Miami-based architect Kobi Karp with interiors by Linda Zarifi of Zarifi Design, representing the designer’s first ground-up condo in Miami. A counterpoint to the tall, boxy, glass towers that have become synonymous with new development in Miami, the boutique, high-design building will pay homage to Bay Harbor's large concentration of mid-century modern design. Curved edges, neutral natural materials and sculptural details define the building inside and out. Lush, tropical and mature landscaping by Enea Garden Design will envelope the building and convey a resort-like return to nature.

In addition to expansive, elegant homes, Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club will offer a comprehensive, resort-style amenities package for residents. The owners’ yacht club and private marina is complete with one shared slip and five available for purchase, dockmaster concierge services and an outdoor lounge with bar. Additional amenities include a world-class spa with sauna and steam rooms, dedicated treatment room and red-light therapy room; state-of-the-art fitness center; outdoor yoga lawn; outdoor waterfront lounge with hot tub; The Parlour, a flexible creative space with a custom wet bar offering personal storage, coffee bar, home office space and entertainment lounge with a high-fidelity audio system; and a 2,600-square-foot landscaped rooftop terrace featuring a pool, private dining area, outdoor kitchen and bar, and outdoor screening pavilion with lounge seating. The building also offers a full-time doorman, resident concierge and 18 private parking spaces.

According to the Miami Association of Realtors, Brazil lands third in the top five of international homebuyer transactions in 2023.

Cervera’s President of Development Sales, Jesse D. Ottley, added, “We could not have reached this incredible sales milestone without the help of our dedicated sales and marketing teams and our developers who have worked tirelessly to conceptualize a project that will transform luxury living in South Florida. Buyers have gravitated to these expansive waterfront residences where unobstructed views are protected by the waterways to the West, and with such a demand for boating in Miami, having their own private boat slip directly in front of their residence is an amenity that few can offer in this market."

Chicago-Based Regency Development Group Launches Kobi Karp-Designed La Maré Bay Harbor Islands

Chicago-based Regency Development Group has launched La Maré, an exclusive collection of two light-filled modern contemporary boutique residential buildings in Bay Harbor Islands. La Maré features the 33-unit Regency Collection and the 9-unit Signature Collection, featuring vertically stacked tropical luxury villas designed by world-renowned architect Kobi Karp, while Brazil-based Debora Aguiar Arquietetos, known for her design of 1 Hotel South Beach among others, leads the interior design. La Maré represents Regency Development Group’s first project in the South Florida market. Groundbreaking is expected for later this year and completion is expected in 2025. Residences will range from $1.375 million to $8 million.

“With recycled materials as the foundation, the design ethos is centered around its honoring natural surroundings - water and its movement – to create an ongoing connection to the environment,” said Kobi Karp. “The positioning of each building on the island is intentionally set to optimize sunlight and natural air flow through each residence, while the glass enwrapped LEED certified spaces accentuate peak sunrise and sunset views.”

“We’re creating sky villas that provide families with expansive living and entertainment spaces right on the water in a pocket of Miami that provides everything families desire, from top dining options to one of the top-ranked schools in Miami-Dade County,” said Michael Troyanovsky, Managing Partner of Regency Development Group. “As a company that is family-run, we value and understand what families are looking for in South Florida.”

The eight-story Regency Collection glass-clad modern boutique building will feature 33 residences. Soft interiors frame the panoramic ocean blues by nine-to-10-foot floor-to-ceiling windows that open out to expansive wraparound outdoor living spaces. The residences with direct private elevator access will range from two bedrooms, two baths to four bedrooms, four and a half baths with 1,600 to more than 4,000 square feet of living space. On the second floor, two prestigious 4,200 square feet Bay Villas adorn the north and south corners featuring spiral staircases that lead down to the ground deck with their own individual pools and summer kitchens. Four penthouses top the building, of which two are flow-through corner residences with access to their own private rooftop pools and summer kitchens.

Exclusive building amenities for the Regency Collection include a state-of-the-art fitness center and residential lounge for group gatherings and screenings.

“I liken La Maré’s Regency Collection to a Harlequin butterfly that opens up in both east and west directions,” said Kobi Karp, founder and principal of Kobi Karp Architects. “This design creates flow-through residences with three glass wraparound windows that bring the outdoors in.”

This eight-story Signature Collection building will feature an exclusive collection of only nine residences thoughtfully designed for families with privacy at the forefront, ranging from 2,100 to more than 4,200 square feet. The top four floors will be comprised of one residence per floor with four bedrooms and four and a half baths. The rest of the building will offer three-bedroom residences and one standout residence will be at the lobby level with private access to the waterfront sundeck.

Exclusive Signature Collection building amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a wine cellar and outdoor kitchen and bar lounge. Residences will range from $2.875 million to $6.3 million. Groundbreaking is planned for later this year and completion is expected in late 2024.

Inspired by the movement of water, The Signature and Regency Collections will offer bayfront verandas and outdoor spaces with landscaping, boat slips, lounge areas and a resort-style rooftop pool deck that will have a pool, jacuzzi and lounge chairs.

Designed to be LEED certified and blend with the neighborhood of Bay Harbor, the low impact all-glass buildings will be constructed on elevated pilings that allow the buildings to be independent of high and low tides to adhere to the everchanging climate of South Florida.

The orientation of the buildings is designed to reduce carbon footprint by minimizing energy loads and maximizing natural sunlight. By incorporating all-glass balcony shadow boxes, its architecture plays with the sunlight to reduce solar gain and maintain a cool temperature throughout the building.

Green rooftops with tree canopies, open green lounge areas and a pool will be built to create a third place for residents to connect and entertain all while doubling as building insulators. The green rooftops will be built on raised wood-like decks made from recycled plastic lifted off the concrete roof to create a natural cooling system, which reduces the use of added material for roof insulation by 70%. Its lush greenery will exclusively feature native species sustained by two-meter irrigation systems that capture and filter rainwater.

Recycled locally sourced materials are married throughout the interiors blending bleached driftwood, travertine, sand-colored natural stones, concrete and metals to create idyllic modern sprawling living areas enhanced by panoramic bay views. Other interior features include private and/or semi-private elevators, elegant custom Italian kitchen and bath fixtures by Antonio Lupi, dual shower and deep soaking tub in primary bathrooms, stone countertops, cabinetry by top-of-the-line luxury Italian brand Poliform and Miele appliances. Additional sustainable features include HEPA filtration systems and in-line heating, Insta-hots, displacing traditional hot water tanks that hold mold overtime.

Clara Homes Breaks Ground on 'Clara Bay Harbor' On The Coveted Bay Harbor Islands

On the heels of closing on a $26 million construction loan for Clara Bay Harbor, Clara Homes has broken ground on Phase 1 of its luxury rental development, Clara Bay Harbor. Located at 10281 W. Bay Harbor Drive, the first building, a six-story midrise, will feature 28 well-appointed apartments designed with the same quality and level of finish as a luxury condominium. Inspired by New York’s famous apartment buildings, with personalized doormen and concierge service, walkability and convenient amenities onsite, the development will create a new tier of rental living in Miami and appeal to renters wanting the experience of home, without the hassle. The first building is scheduled to complete in 2024.

Clara Homes is a Miami-based, vertically integrated real estate firm specializing in residential development, custom single-family homes and operations oversight led by James Curnin. OHLA is leading construction.

"The groundbreaking is a huge milestone for Clara Bay Harbor and a leap forward in turning our vision into reality,” said James Curnin, CEO and Founder of Clara Homes. “We are excited to reimagine the rental experience in the market and have already seen a great deal of support and praise from people in the community on the concept.”

Nestled between the world-famous Bal Harbour Shops and Miami’s exclusive Indian Creek, Clara Bay Harbor is a premier rental project featuring 150 residences across three buildings. It 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. The first building will feature two- to five-bedroom spacious floor plans, a parking garage and a rooftop space with amenities that include a swimming pool, exercise area and sundeck. A full-time concierge will provide five-star service and highly curated experiences to residents.

“OHLA is proud and excited to be part of this project. These luxury apartments will, without a doubt, be the “must have” address for South Florida residents. We look forward to our part in bringing this iconic project to life, “ said Bernardo Perez, Executive Vice President of OHLA.

Following Clara Homes’s success developing, building and selling numerous Miami and Los Angeles luxury spec homes for above market rate prices, Clara Bay Harbor is the company’s first South Florida multifamily development and represents the developer’s expertise building thoughtful projects from the ground up. Construction for Clara Bay Harbor will be completed in three phases: one for each building. The other two buildings located at 1147-1163 100th Street and 10200 East Bay Harbor Drive are scheduled to break ground later this year. The entire master plan is expected to be completed by late 2025.

Clara Bay Harbor is part of a larger wave of new development that is transforming the neighborhood of Bal Harbor into an exclusive luxury destination. Known as one of the most desirable residential addresses in Miami, the area has always been celebrated for its small-town feel and focus on community, and will only grow as new high-profile projects, from Clara Bay Harbor to towering condominiums on the waterfront and mixed-use concepts along Kane Concourse, open and attract the most discerning residents.

Leasing for Clara Bay Harbor will be exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.
