New Development by Ian Bruce Eichner Begins Reservations for Boutique Bayfront Condominium with Private Marina
La Baia, Bay Harbor Islands — South Florida’s newest under-the-radar haven — is setting “sales”. The boutique bayfront condominium, complete with its own private marina, is the latest project from visionary New York developer Ian Bruce Eichner.
More than a decade ago, Eichner helped put South Beach’s prestigious South of Fifth neighborhood on the map with the arrival of the Continuum South Beach. Today, Continuum is one of Miami’s most desirable addresses and South of Fifth one of the city’s most enviable destinations.
Now Eichner is back in Miami with the arrival of La Baia, Bay Harbor Islands, a property that he views as a game-changing development with the similar type of transformative potential as his now landmark Continuum. “The same attributes I recognized in South of Fifth a decade ago draw many parallels to the Bay Harbor Islands today,” Eichner explains.
A trailblazing developer responsible for some of New York, Miami Beach and Las Vegas’ most iconic projects, Eichner has assembled a dream team of design talent to bring La Baia, Bay Harbor Islands to life. Award-winning Miami firm Revuelta Architecture is responsible for La Baia’s exterior, while world-renowned landscape architect Enzo Enea envisioned La Baia’s stunning rooftop amenity deck and lush greenery. Suffolk Construction, one of the nation’s most successful builders spanning over four decades, has been selected as the project’s general contractor.
Set along 9201 East Bay Harbor Drive, La Baia will be located on one of the last large-scale land parcels remaining on Bay Harbor Islands. Rich in both privacy and lifestyle amenities, La Baia’s forward-thinking aesthetic draws inspiration from both the cove-like setting and waterfront location on the small pair of islands that are highly regarded by Miami insiders as one of the city’s most coveted hidden gems.
A boutique, eight story structure, La Baia, Bay Harbor Islands will feature 68 luxurious residences with 20-boat slips and more than 30,000 sq. ft. of resort-style amenities. A private enclave on the Bay Harbor Islands, La Baia offers world-class waterfront living set against a backdrop of the beautiful Biscayne Bay and Miami’s ever-evolving tower-filled skyline.
Priced from $810,000, sales are being exclusively handled by Pgutman LLC and headed by Phil Gutman, an industry veteran and real estate professional, His leadership and in-depth understanding of the new development market has resulted in more than a decade of record-breaking sales.
The Bay Harbor Islands are private, yet accessible, with scenic walkways, charming neighborhoods and elegant dining and shopping along Kane Concourse that offer world-class sophistication. The Islands’ Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center is ranked among the best schools in the region, while Miami International Airport is just a short drive away.
Providing endless allure for every taste and season, residents are located just minutes away from Bal Harbour’s legendary retail and culinary hot-spots, as well as some of Miami’s most celebrated cultural hubs such as Wynwood, South Beach, Aventura and the Design District.
“We are delighted to launch sales now – as Bay Harbor’s unique lifestyle is being discovered and in high demand by a new wave of buyers looking to relocate here,” said Eichner, the founder of The Continuum Company, LLC. “Just as Continuum paved the way for South of Fifth to reach its potential, so too will La Baia be transformative for Bay Harbor Islands.”
Sized from one- to four-bedrooms — and spanning between 1,125 to 2,500 square feet — each La Baia, Bay Harbor Islands home will be delivered completely finished and ready to be designed, decorated and furnished. Every residence features well-appointed fixtures and finishes curated by New York-based Durukan Design. Ceiling heights range between nine- to 10- feet, there are spacious his-and-her walk-in closets, balconies with glass railings and a pair of secure underground parking spots for each owner.
In the kitchens, custom Italian cabinetry by Snaidero is complemented by Miele appliances, along with quartz stone countertops and Hansgrohe fixtures. Every La Baia, Bay Harbor Islands primary bathroom and powder room features marble flooring and dual rainfall showers.
“La Baia’s waterfront setting offers the optimum active and healthy Miami lifestyle. Now more than ever, families are taking pleasure in a wide range of outdoor activities and experiencing the joys of boating as never before,” said Phil Gutman, President of Pgutman LLC. “Our private marina is a fabulous amenity as is the ability to kayak, paddleboard or swim. It’s the essence of a Florida lifestyle.”
La Baia, Bay Harbor Islands is slated for project completion and delivery in November 2023. For additional information please visit the website at www.labaiabayharbor.com or call 305-778-2058.
