Shayna Davidov Hanson presents

La Baia is the latest project from visionary New York developer Ian Bruce Eichner, the same developer who created the world-famous Continuum Miami Beach. Located at 9201 E Bay Harbor Drive, in the pristine neighborhood of Bay Harbor Islands, this eight-story boutique building will be comprised of 68 Exclusive Luxury Residences ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms and a private marina with 20 boat slips.

Internationally acclaimed architect Luis Revuelta will be leading the design while the landscape will be envisioned by Enzo Enea.

Well-appointed fixtured finishes curated by New York-based Durukan Design will decorate the lobby and all the common areas.

The building will feature 30,000 Sqft of resort-style amenities, including a rooftop pool with a 10’ sun shelf and lounge chairs, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a Clubroom, a teens gaming center, a children’s splash pad, and swing set, a pet grooming station, an outdoor reflection lawn with a cascading water feature for yoga and stretching, a water sports launch deck for kayaking, paddle boarding and much more.

The 68 Luxurious one-to-four Bedroom residences will be spanning between 1,125 and 2,500 sqft. They will be delivered fully finished with wide-plank imported European wood flooring throughout and feature generously sized closet spaces, marble floors in the bathrooms, Snaidero cabinetry in the kitchen, and Miele appliances. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors combined with clear glass railings on terraces will allow for stunning unobstructed views.

Our prices are starting at $810,000 for a 1 Bedroom Residence.

The 41-unit development will have waterfront Biscayne Bay views and access to the ocean as a "boater's dream" thanks to its private marina.

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. Onda will also feature personalized services, advanced security and technology along with a front desk reception, covered valet drop-off area, personal parking spaces in a fully enclosed garage, electric vehicle charging stations and bicycle storage, and residential storage space. 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.

Developers Ugo Colombo of CMC Group and Valerio Morabito of Morabito Properties tasked architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica to design the 8-story building that has over 300 feet of bay frontage. With construction estimated to begin in Fall 2021 and completion in 2023, Onda (Italian for "wave") will become a highlight for the boats enjoying a day out under the South Florida sun.

Here, Haute Residence sat down with Morabito for a Q&A on the new development and its design, location, and amenities.

Haute Residence: You have a well-known portfolio of developments in South Florida. What new goal do you hope to accomplish with ONDA Bay Harbor?

Valerio Morabito: Our goal is to deliver a timeless product with top-quality finishes and materials. My partner Ugo Colombo and I prioritize attention to detail, craftsmanship, and stellar architecture and design – and Onda embodies all of these guiding principles. Onda will be the address of choice for buyers seeking a boutique style home with all the conveniences of luxury condo living and the amenities that come with owning a piece of the Bay Harbor waterfront – more than 300 feet of bay frontage, a private marina, and sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

HR: How did the design come about for ONDA? What was the focus when designing it with Arquitectonica?

VM: Onda is the Italian word for wave. We imagined a design that would embody the waves of the ocean. Onda’s undulating exterior balconies reflects the movement of the water and the beauty of the bay.

HR: What do you expect the condo market in South Florida to be like when the project is delivered in 2023?

VM: We believe the Miami market is going to be strong for quite a while. Many people from all over the country are realizing Miami isn’t just an amazing place to visit – it’s an amazing place to live and conduct business from. As the concept of remote work has become more commonplace post-pandemic, more and more people are want to spend more time in South Florida and ultimately making the move here lured by our tropical weather, ideal tax climate and lower cost of living. Miami is a very business friendly city. I personally fell in love with Miami 20 years ago and I don’t know what there is not to like about it! There’s not much product that’s readily available that can be delivered in the next couple years. Especially in Bay Harbor – there’s little to no inventory that’s oceanfront or waterfront.

HR: In your opinion, what does a project as significant as ONDA say about the area of Bay Harbor Islands?

VM: Bay Harbor Islands is Miami’s best kept secret. Surrounded by some of South Florida’s finest shopping, beaches and schools, the area is synonymous with an upscale, family-oriented lifestyle that appeals to buyers from across the country and around the world. Onda will be a perfect addition to the neighborhood— a place immersed in nature, facing the crystal waters of Biscayne Bay and overlooking Haulover natural park. The ultimate oasis of peace and tranquility.

Colombo and Morabito previously partnered in 2016 to lead the development of Beach House 8, a nearby boutique waterfront condo building on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Most recently, Colombo and CMC Group delivered Brickell Flatiron, a 64-story luxury tower in Downtown Miami’s Brickell Financial District.

Members of the Haute Residence Network share their insight into the benefits of having a real estate professional handle your home's sale instead of doing a "For sale by owner" on your own.

"Homeowners benefit from using a Realtor because they will ultimately make more money and have a less stressful transaction. Realtors bring to the table years of experience in determining the right asking price, marketing the property for maximum exposure, negotiating the contract, and avoiding contract pitfalls." - Jennifer Brilliant, Bal Harbour/Bay Harbor Islands/Surfside, FL.

"Do you tell your doctor what your diagnosis is and how to treat yourself? No. So why would you think real estate is any different? You need expertise!" - Dante DiSabato, Naples, FL.

"Negotiations, marketing, paperwork... it's a full-time job, and you already have one. Great agents earn their keep and then some." - Tim Durkovic, Pasadena, CA.

"An experienced real estate agent like a physician or lawyer helps a homeowner navigate challenges and obstacles in the home selling process." - Wendy Gragg, Santa Barbara, CA.

"Access to the MLS, knowledgeable about market pricing and will have an accurate and unbiased listing price of your property. A full understanding of the entire real estate transaction from negotiating offers, verifying a buyer's creditworthiness, negotiating the physical inspection, overseeing the timeframes, monitoring the title and approval processes to ultimately bring all parties to a successful closing.  Nationwide statistics show that, with a realtor, you net 15% more than without one. Don’t sell yourself short." - Connie Huergo, Palm Beach Coast/Palm Beach Islands, FL.

"A skilled real estate agent has access to a far greater reach to market the property not just to consumers but to the other essential customer— other real estate agents who represent buyers looking at your property." - Robin Kencel, Greenwich, CT.

"Serious buyers of luxury homes overwhelmingly choose to work with a professional when buying a home. These qualified buyers look for homes that are listed with licensed professionals.” - Karen Kenyon, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

"Seasoned career realtors have the expertise, network connections, marketing avenues, and experience of obtaining the highest and best prices for one of their largest investments - their home." - Laura Livaudais, Asheville/Western North Carolina.

“If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.” - Mark Salmon in South Tahoe, CA, quoted Red Adair, American Oil Well Firefighter.

"I think the seller nets more money many times by hiring a listing agent; it's good business." - Michael Stanco, North Shore, Long Island, NY.

They were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase. Watch the full webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Cristal Clarke: "I have never seen a January like this before. It's so busy, it seems even more ramped up than last year. It's amazing, the amount of people that want to be here. We get many clients coming from Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and various places throughout the US. It's a pleasure to help them find a home here. What's challenging now is our inventory. More things are coming on the market but inventory is a challenge because of how much was sold last year."

Scott Goshorn: "From April on, we have been setting records every month. Inventory and interest rates are low. Home has a different value for people. It used to be that people traveled a lot. But since they can't travel as much, or at all, and don't have to travel to work, it's more of a compound situation. They are upgrading their life. The market was crazy. We had an amazing year in 2020, and I project the same for 2021."

Jennifer Brilliant: "Starting last Summer through now, it's been extremely busy, even with a surge around Thanksgiving. Now we are in the time of the year that is usually our high season, so it's extremely busy and with an extra kick because of COVID. Even in 2019, there were people moving here for tax purposes. With COVID, it seems that everybody that was on the fence jumped up and came down here."

Laura Livaudais: "The main thing about Asheville is that we have a Winter, but we have four distinct seasons, and that's what people really like about our market. By the time you get tired of Winter, you have a beautiful Spring. People are trying to get out of certain markets that have harsher winters or hotter climates, so they are flocking to the Asheville market."

The post A Waterfront Home In Bay Harbor Islands By Lydia Eskenazi appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

How did the third quarter of 2020 real estate perform in Surfside? How has your market been doing so far this year compared to this time last year?

The third quarter was extremely busy and there were a lot of sales in Surfside. There were 41 sales (single-family and condos) this year in July, August, and September compared to 23 sales during that same time period last year. It is true that there have been a lot of people moving here from the northeast and other areas, but most of my sales during the 3rd quarter were actually locals who wanted to upsize (bigger house, bigger yard with a pool, etc.) or moving from a condo to a house.

Photo Credit: iUsePhotography

Do you expect a more or less active 4th quarter for this year than previous years?

I expect the 4th quarter to be more active than previous years. There are currently 17 pending sales in Surfside and it is only the middle of October. Last year, we had a very strong 4th quarter with 36 homes sold but we usually see less than that. I think that people will continue to make moves to the area, whether is it locals changing their living situation or people from other states seeking less density, better weather, or tax relief.
