Tula Residences North Bay Village vs Continuum Club & Residences North Bay Village: lower-density calm or amenity-rich momentum?

In North-bay-village, two distinct luxury residential propositions are taking shape. Tula Residences North Bay Village leans into boutique scale, privacy, and wellness-oriented calm, while Continuum Club & Residences North Bay Village advances a more social, hospitality-driven model with a larger amenity ecosystem.
