Bal Harbour

A village of just 3,300 residents occupying a sliver of barrier island between Surfside and Sunny Isles Beach — Bal Harbour has cultivated an identity of quiet, concentrated wealth since its incorporation in 1946. The neighborhood is anchored by Bal Harbour Shops, the open-air luxury retail campus that draws Chanel, Hermès, Cartier, and Valentino to a single oceanfront address. The residential market is defined by ultra-luxury oceanfront towers — Oceana Bal Harbour, The St. Regis Bal Harbour, and Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour among them — offering direct beach access, full-service resort amenities, and some of the highest price-per-square-foot in all of South Florida.

Surfside

The world’s most storied private club — now a permanent address. When The Surf Club opened on New Year’s Eve 1930, Frank Sinatra, Winston Churchill, and Elizabeth Taylor were among the founding members. In 2017, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier inserted twin gleaming towers into the original coral-stone landmark, and Four Seasons assumed custody of both hotel and residences. Thomas Keller — three Michelin stars at The French Laundry — runs the restaurant. The private Atlantic beachfront stretches nearly 1,000 feet.

Surfside is the rare address where ultra-luxury infrastructure and genuine community coexist. The local coffee shop on Harding Avenue knows your name. The beach knows your footprints. Bal Harbour Shops is five minutes by foot.

Sunny Isles Beach

The skyline that announces Miami from the north — a dramatic wall of glass towers rising directly from the Atlantic sand. Sunny Isles Beach has become the most prolific luxury condominium corridor in South Florida, with branded residences from Porsche, Bentley, Armani, and Ritz-Carlton all competing for oceanfront supremacy. The Porsche Design Tower’s patented Dezervator — a robotic car elevator that delivers vehicles directly to individual residences on every floor — redefined what a luxury amenity could be. The Bentley Residences, at 63 stories, will be the tallest oceanfront tower in the United States upon completion.

The community draws a significant international buyer base, particularly from Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East, attracted by the combination of oceanfront living, branded luxury, and Florida’s tax advantages. The beach itself — wide, clean, and directly accessible from every major tower — remains one of the finest stretches of sand in South Florida.
