Five development candidates across Bay Harbor Islands and North Bay Village, assessed through the family-office priorities of delivery access, courier accountability and high-value package custody. Documented scale and construction milestones establish the shortlist; security arrangements require separate confirmation.
For a family office, residential discretion extends beyond the front door. A valuable delivery raises practical questions: who may accept it, where it waits, who can access it and when responsibility passes to the household. Architecture and service positioning cannot answer those questions alone.
Bay Harbor Islands and North Bay Village offer five distinct development candidates, from substantial towers to boutique residences. The ranking below prioritizes documented development scale, program, financing and construction milestones. This is a due-diligence shortlist, not a ranking of proven package security. High-value screening, bonded-courier arrangements, documented chain of custody and controlled delivery routes remain unconfirmed at all five projects.
That distinction matters before acquisition. Construction financing is not an operating protocol; a completion target is not confirmation of occupancy. Reconfirm current development status, inventory and delivery arrangements before a family office commits.
1. Shoma Bay - Mixed-use scale in North Bay Village
At 1850 John F. Kennedy Causeway, Shoma Bay is planned as a 24-story development with 333 luxury condominium residences. Its program includes approximately 35,000-36,000 square feet of Publix space and 15,000-16,000 square feet of additional retail and restaurant space. A $172.5 million C-PACE construction financing package was disclosed in September 2026.
Shoma Bay ranks first because its mixed-use program makes the separation of commercial and residential deliveries especially important to investigate. That warrants scrutiny; it does not establish that separation exists. Request plans showing where deliveries arrive, how recipients are identified and whether commercial activity intersects with residential acceptance or storage.
2. Continuum Club & Residences - Waterfront tower scale
Planned at 1755 79th Street/Kennedy Causeway in North Bay Village, Continuum Club & Residences comprises 198 luxury condominiums across 32 stories. The project broke ground in April 2025, with early 2028 identified as its completion target.
Its second-place position reflects its waterfront scale and documented groundbreaking. For a family office, the priority is to understand the proposed delivery route from building arrival to authorized recipient. Ask whether operating documents will establish courier access, receiving responsibilities and handoff procedures before occupancy. Tower height alone establishes none of those services.
3. La Maré - The Regency Collection - A 33-residence alternative
La Maré - The Regency Collection in Bay Harbor Islands comprises 33 residences and secured $55.7 million in construction financing, announced in January 2025. Its Q2 2026 completion target was a historical projection, not confirmation that delivery occurred.
The third-ranked candidate offers a smaller residential scale for assessing individualized delivery arrangements. Fewer residences do not establish stronger controls. Focus on receiving coverage, access to stored items and the process when an authorized household representative is unavailable.
4. Bay Harbor Towers - Documented structural progress
Bay Harbor Towers is an eight-story condominium in Bay Harbor Islands. It broke ground in September 2024, and its topping-off milestone was announced on December 2, 2025. As of January 2026, Q3 2026 was the expected completion date; that remains a target, not proof of completion.
Its fourth-place ranking reflects documented construction progress. Review service-access plans alongside proposed management procedures, paying particular attention to whether the intended receiving route and storage arrangements match the spaces being delivered. Structural progress does not establish operational readiness.
5. Origin Bay Harbor / Origin Residences - A 27-residence boutique choice
At 9740-9760 West Bay Harbor Drive, Origin Bay Harbor is a 27-residence luxury condominium. A $30.5 million construction loan was disclosed in June 2025, when foundation work was underway. Late 2026 was the delivery target at that time.
Origin completes the shortlist as another lower-density candidate. For a family office, the question is whether management will accommodate a clearly documented appointment and handoff process. Any proposed arrangement should address acceptance authority, temporary custody and unsuccessful deliveries. Boutique scale should not be taken as a guarantee of dedicated personnel.
The mixed-use program at Shoma Bay North Bay Village makes the relationship between retail logistics and residential receiving a central purchase question. Request a marked plan rather than a general assurance of privacy. Establish whether separation is physical, procedural, time-based or still undecided.
At Continuum Club & Residences North Bay Village, focus on proposed tower operations: who authorizes access, where custody changes and what happens when a recipient is delayed. These are due-diligence priorities, not confirmed building services.
For La Maré Bay Harbor Islands, keep the discussion specific to The Regency Collection and its 33 residences. Ask whether individualized arrangements would form part of formal building policy or remain discretionary accommodations.
With Bay Harbor Towers, use documented construction progress as the starting point for a detailed review of planned receiving operations. For Origin Bay Harbor Islands, examine how the proposed 27-residence operation would handle scheduled deliveries and missed handoffs. Neither smaller scale nor a structural milestone substitutes for written accountability.
Define screening precisely.
Ask what management means by high-value package screening. Does the proposal address courier identity, recipient authorization, exterior condition and acceptance restrictions? Seek written package-storage specifications, access permissions and value limits. Do not assume screening includes inspection equipment, opening parcels or specialist handling. Each requires separate confirmation.
Verify the courier arrangement.
If a courier is described as bonded, request the relevant bond and insurance documentation for review by the family office's advisers. Ask whose conduct is covered, which goods and values fall within the terms, and where responsibility begins and ends. Establish whether the building accepts deliveries from household-appointed couriers or requires an approved provider. Neither arrangement is established here.
Trace the full delivery route.
Request loading and service-access plans, then identify each proposed custody transfer, from arrival through temporary storage to the recipient. Ask how access is authorized and recorded, and what happens outside agreed receiving hours. Where arrangements remain proposed, distinguish design intent from approved operating policy. Do not infer separate loading docks, freight elevators or restricted courier circulation from branding.
Before selecting a residence, give each candidate the same brief: acceptable delivery windows, authorized recipients, storage conditions, acceptance limits, insurance review and custody-transfer records. Ask management to identify what it can commit to, what remains subject to approval and what it will not accept.
The strongest choice is the residence whose documented operating arrangements match the household's needs-not necessarily the largest tower or the smallest building. Exclude every unconfirmed service from the acquisition assumptions until it is resolved in writing.

Begin a quiet conversationShoma Bay ranks first because its 333-residence mixed-use program makes commercial and residential delivery separation a particularly important diligence question. The ranking does not establish superior package security.
High-value package screening is not confirmed at any of the five projects. Request a written definition of screening and the proposed acceptance procedures.
Bonded-courier arrangements are not confirmed. Ask for the proposed courier policy and have advisers review any relevant bond and insurance documentation.
Its planned program combines residences with approximately 35,000–36,000 square feet of Publix space and additional retail and restaurant space. Buyers should investigate how commercial and residential deliveries would be separated.
Early 2028 was identified as the completion target following its April 2025 groundbreaking. That target is not a guarantee of delivery.
The Regency Collection comprises 33 residences and secured $55.7 million in construction financing. Its historical Q2 2026 completion target does not confirm delivery.
Topping off for the eight-story condominium was announced on December 2, 2025. Q3 2026 was subsequently identified as its expected completion date, not proof of completion.
Origin Bay Harbor comprises 27 residences at 9740–9760 West Bay Harbor Drive. Foundation work was underway in June 2025, with late 2026 then identified as the delivery target.
No security guarantee follows from a smaller residence count. Receiving coverage, storage access and custody-transfer procedures require independent confirmation.
Request loading and service-access plans, courier credentialing policies, package-storage specifications, acceptance limits, insurance terms and custody-transfer procedures. Distinguish proposed arrangements from approved operating policies.
