Construction Commences on Luxury Miami-Area Residential Community Drawing Buyers from Around the U.S.

Bay Harbor Towers to deliver waterfront living north of Miami with spacious layouts, custom finishes and lavish amenities impeccably designed for indoor-outdoor living   

Condominium buyers seeking unmatched luxury away from the hustle of Miami or Miami Beach will find it at Bay Harbor Towers. The eight-story, waterfront condominium from PPG Development and L3C Capital Partners broke ground this month on its way to delivering an exceptional product to an eager buyer community.  

On Wednesday, September 18, representatives from PPG, Fortune Development Sales, general contractor Civic Construction, Bay Harbor Islands city officials and other invited guests held a ceremony to mark the beginning of construction. The Fortune team included Edgardo Defortuna, President & CEO of Fortune International Group; Carmen Casadella, VP of Sales; and Jennie King, VP of Marketing & Communications.  

Bay Harbor Towers, located at 10141 East Bay Harbor Drive in Miami’s Bay Harbor Islands enclave, has enjoyed brisk traffic since launching sales in late 2023. To date, over 50% of residences have been sold, with remaining units starting at $2.6 million. Delivery is expected in 2026. 

“This groundbreaking is the next step in delivering the most exciting project in Bay Harbor Islands,” said Ari Pearl, founder of PPG Development, one of South Florida’s most active developers specializing in commercial and residential development with a project pipeline exceeding $2 billion.  “Our buyers will discover stunning spacious residences with ocean and bay views, modern architecture, an unmatched amenities package with a private marina, all at an address that brings quality of life to their doorstep.”  

PPG is partnering with Jonathan Leifer’s L3C Capital Partners.

Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Kobi Karp, with interior design by Interiors by Steven G. and landscape architecture by CLAD, the result is a unique approach to interior and exterior spaces. The 44 spacious flow-thru, open-concept floor plans feature floor-to-ceiling glass, and multiple terraces, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. Residences range from two to four bedrooms, with private and semi-private elevator access to personal foyers. Unobstructed east- and west-facing terraces will welcome both sunrises over the Atlantic and sunsets across Biscayne Bay. 

Owners will enjoy full chef’s kitchens, with oak cabinetry with fluted detailing, brushed brass fittings, and dolomite stone countertops and backsplashes. Gastro enthusiasts will enjoy wine fridges, oversized workstation sinks and gas stoves.  

Bathrooms will boast custom double vanities with marble countertops; porcelain flooring throughout; full-height, glass-enclosed showers; and oversized sculptural soaking tubs.   

Individual residences range in size from 1,857 square feet to 4,902 square feet. 

The entire development is curated around inspired, healthy living. The wellness center rivals a five-star spa, with hot/cold plunge pools, a sauna and steam room, and fitness equipment by Paragon Studio. Full-length, indoor and outdoor lap pools and the rooftop tropical garden are unique to condo living.  

Perched on the Indian Creek waterway, Bay Harbor Towers’ private marina takes waterfront living to a new level. Centrally located, it offers owners easy access to Bal Harbour Shops, Kane Concourse and Miami Beach. 

Bay Harbor Towers marks the latest in the luxury real estate portfolio from PPG Development, which has made its name transforming “America’s Riviera” across South Florida. Fortune is the exclusive sales and marketing partner for Bay Harbor Towers. 

“We have been extremely pleased with the pace of sales at Bay Harbor Towers, and now with construction underway, I am confident we’ll see demand accelerate,” said Defortuna.  “Our sophisticated buyers are attracted to the exclusive lifestyle we are offering, where every design element in the building is meant to enhance and elevate their daily lives.”  

Defortuna said most of the project’s buyers come from the Northeast U.S. and already own multiple homes.
