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.

“A Florida seaside setting as incredible as Hollywood coupled with the architecturally mesmerizing QUINT Collection, this project epitomizes the lifestyle buyers seek when they look to South Florida,” says Jesús Quintero, CEO and Founder of JQ Group of Companies. “QUINT Collection Hollywood is redefining luxury living and we are confident that Lourdes and Miguel’s strong client relations throughout the Northeast and in various international markets will award us a rapid sell-out.”

"I think QUINT is one of the best-kept secrets," adds Alatriste, member of the Haute Residence Network. "I feel it hasn't been exposed to its full potential - especially given what buyers are currently looking for [in the market]. Having a boutique development that offers dockage of this size and the beach steps away is priceless. I am certain this project will appeal to a broad range of buyers and am excited to be representing it."

Comprised of 10 exquisitely designed townhomes, with a unit sold in December 2020 for $2,495,000 by Douglas Elliman agent Craig Chassen, QUINT Collection Hollywood has nine units remaining. With construction now complete, residents have the opportunity to move in immediately. Townhomes at QUINT Collection feature 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathroom units priced from $2,624,000 to $3,050,000.

The townhomes offer 10-foot high ceilings with floor plans ranging in size from 3,100-3,500 square feet, with terraces up to 10 feet deep and a private 2-car garage. Custom finishes include Italkraft and Gaggenau appliances, porcelain floors, a glass-enclosed elevator, and more. Five-story residences feature a sky deck with a summer kitchen, jacuzzi, and entertainment area. A residents-only marina includes 12 slips ranging between 55-80 feet with permitting ready-to-install lift if desired.

This latest sale at QUINT is in line with the continuing migration that South Florida has experienced, particularly from residents of the US Northeast looking to purchase a second home or completely settling down in the sunny climate year-round, plus the tax benefits that come with living in Florida, and the benefit that these units are ready to welcome their new owners.

Says real estate owner and developer Jesús Quintero of JQ Group, the developing group behind QUINT, "As a developer, I am very proud to present a project like QUINT Collection that is ready to move in; each unit comes fully equipped to be occupied, with features including a kitchen with new generation appliances, high quality floors throughout unit, direct and indirect lights in all areas including terraces and all bathrooms with mirrors and accessories. QUINT Collection offers an ideal solution for the new lifestyle after the pandemic. Private residences, surrounded by a natural environment and completely finished to be occupied immediately, are some of the benefits that QUINT Collection offers to its potential buyers.”

“This development has been a true labor of love for all of us at Lionheart Capital," said its CEO, Ophir Sternberg, at the grand opening. "We have taken the time to curate, not only a luxury residential building, but an engaging sanctuary and community for our residents, focusing on everything from the smallest design details to the largest, first-ever amenities. It was our intention to craft a product that was intensely thoughtful, how we each would want things actualized within our own homes. The end result took time to get just right but turned out even better than I, or anyone, ever anticipated.”
