A private golf sanctuary on the Intracoastal
Within a 150-acre landscape along South Florida's Intracoastal Waterway, The Residences at Shell Bay brings a rare synthesis of architecture, hospitality, sport and nature to Hallandale Beach. In a market defined by oceanfront towers, this gated enclave is deliberately inward-looking, framing long views across fairways, lakes and gardens while keeping the Atlantic minutes away. The 20-story, Auberge-branded condominium is being developed by the Witkoff Group and PPG Development as the residential centerpiece of a Mediterranean-inspired enclave where resort-scale amenities meet the privacy of club living.
For an initial sense of the property's spirit and its master plan, explore Shell Bay by Auberge Hallandale. While renderings are illustrative, they communicate the core idea: an artfully composed enclave where architecture and landscape are choreographed around sport, wellness and the water, and where daily life feels measured and unhurried.
The positioning is simple and powerful: a true Gated-community organized around sport and wellness. Residents will live within steps of a championship golf course, a serious racquet club and a protected yacht basin, yet the address remains less than fifteen minutes from the beach and the boutiques and dining of neighboring enclaves. It is a proposition that speaks to year-round living as much as seasonal escape, and to families as readily as to avid golfers and boaters.
Residences crafted for quiet luxury
Architecture by Kobi Karp pairs a contemporary glass facade with generous wraparound terraces that maximize natural light and frame cinematic panoramas of the course and the Intracoastal. Only 108 residences are planned, from one- to four-bedroom layouts, each designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Floor-to-ceiling window walls meet expansive private terraces; 10-foot ceiling heights read airy and calm; and floor plans are calibrated for both privacy and entertaining. Select penthouses crown the tower, read as homes-in-the-sky, and command long views across greens, water and skyline.
Discrete convenience is engineered into each residence. A private valet closet set just inside the entry allows staff to deliver packages, fresh laundry or catered meals without crossing your threshold, preserving privacy whether you are at home or away. Thoughtful storage, laundry rooms sized for real living and well-placed powder rooms keep public and private zones gracefully separated. On upper floors, select lines orient great rooms to sunrise and primary suites to the golden light of late afternoon, an arrangement that rewards both morning people and sunset collectors.
The interiors by AvroKO introduce a refined, tactile palette that favors serenity over spectacle. Expect limestone-style porcelain underfoot, warm architectural millwork and bespoke built-ins that make spaces feel composed from the moment you move in. Italian Molteni&C kitchens are the showpiece: custom white-oak cabinetry, book-matched stone islands and integrated Gaggenau appliances, including wine refrigeration for proper cellaring. Primary baths are conceived as day spas at home, clad in large-format stone with generous vanities and glass-enclosed showers.
Penthouses elevate the proposition. Encompassing up to roughly 4,500 square feet, these homes-in-the-sky favor expansive great rooms, true dining areas and flexible dens for media or office. Private rooftops add plunge pools and summer kitchens, turning evenings into effortless open-air entertaining. Wraparound terraces trace the building's curve, capturing long angles across the course, the Intracoastal and the horizon line of the ocean.
Amenity life begins at the top. A resort-worthy rooftop on the residential tower offers private pools and cabanas reserved for owners and their guests, set to sweeping 360-degree vistas from the sculpted greens to the blue ribbon of the ocean beyond. Morning laps, late-afternoon sun and quiet evening swims all read differently from this aerie, and the convenience of a private elevator ride to your own pool removes the friction that too often keeps amenities underused.
Club life: golf, racquet and a 48-slip marina
The centerpiece is Shell Bay Club, a members-only environment of sport, wellness and convivial dining reserved for residents and their guests. Its crown jewel is an 18-hole, tournament-caliber course by Greg Norman, stretching to an impressive 7,250 yards. It is complemented by a 12-acre practice compound and a separate 9-hole Par-3 course - rare amenities that allow players to work every part of the game steps from home. For many, the promise is transformative: championship Golf literally outside your front door.
Programming will matter as much as hardware. Expect a calendar that ranges from member-guest golf tournaments and junior clinics to round-robin tennis, pickleball mixers and padel exhibitions under lights. Wine dinners and chef's table evenings will showcase producers from the club cellar, while wellness retreats pair movement, recovery and nutrition with the guidance of resident specialists. The ambition is not to overschedule, but to make it easy to opt into a community of shared interests when the mood strikes.
Racquet sport is treated with similar seriousness. Shell Bay's private club is planned to offer the only program in Florida with all four Grand Slam surfaces, so residents can train on red clay, grass and hard courts as they please. Dedicated pickleball and padel courts broaden the options, and a basketball court adds another outlet for friendly competition. After play, the 20,000-square-foot clubhouse invites lingering with an indoor-outdoor wellness spa, saunas and treatment rooms, multiple dining venues and discreet lounges.
Water is a way of life here. The private yacht club's 48-slip Marina sits on the Intracoastal for quick access to the inlet and open Atlantic beyond. Dock staff greet owners and can assist with provisioning from an on-property boutique market, turning a spontaneous afternoon on the water into a seamless routine. For boaters who split time between sail and shore, the ability to return to a quiet, controlled environment - valet the car, secure the tender, walk home through gardens - will feel like a luxury in itself.
Event and social spaces round out the club offering. Approximately 30,000 square feet of adjacent venues accommodate celebrations from black-tie galas to milestone family gatherings, all with views across fairways and lakes. An en suite entertainment suite brings the fun even closer to home with a multi-sport simulator lounge for virtual golf and e-sports, a bowling alley and a cinema-style screening room - ideal for rainy days and teenage birthdays alike.
Wellness, services and everyday ease
Auberge Resorts Collection brings a hotel-caliber service philosophy to residential life at Shell Bay. A Director of Residences and dedicated concierge team can coordinate housekeeping, butler service, personal shopping, private trainers and wellness coaches, as well as travel arrangements. The goal is anticipatory ease rather than spectacle: gracious, solution-oriented assistance that recedes when not needed. Contact-free delivery right to the private valet closet is the quiet luxury you will notice most on busy days.
Wellness is a daily ritual rather than an occasional indulgence. An 18,000-square-foot wellness center and spa offers state-of-the-art fitness indoors and out, plus a full-service medical day-spa program. Cold-plunge and thermal experiences, movement studios and carefully programmed classes make it simple to stay on track. For those who view cuisine as a pillar of wellbeing, an in-residence fine-dining program curated by Michelin-trained Chef Julien Jouhannaud will deliver seasonal menus directly to the terrace or dining room, complemented by a house sommelier drawing from the club's cellar.
Life for families and guests has been thought through with equal care. Children have a creative play lab distinctly separate from a teens' lounge; professionals can retreat to glassed-in meeting suites and quiet co-working lounges; and wine lovers will appreciate a tasting room with private storage. Outside, five acres of walking trails wind through gardens - look for an exotic orchid garden - and a dedicated dog-park trail gives four-legged residents their own social circuit. The cumulative effect is a campus of choices, each more effortless than the last.
Looking ahead, the enclave will be complemented by a boutique Auberge-managed resort of roughly 60 guest suites on property. That addition will extend services for residents - spa appointments for overflow guests, extra rooms during holidays - and further elevate the culinary and social programming across the grounds.
Address, access and purchase considerations
Location matters, and here it reads both convenient and quietly secluded. Shell Bay is sited in Hallandale, on the Broward side of the county line, with Golden Beach, Aventura and Bal Harbour within easy reach. North-south connectivity via US-1 and I-95 is straightforward, while two international airports and multiple executive airports sit within a comfortable drive. Because the community is set on the Intracoastal rather than directly on the sand, views trade crashing surf for the green geometry of fairways and lakes, with the ocean's sparkle beyond.
The purchasing calculus is similarly distinct. Country-club estates demand year-round maintenance and staff; resort towers on the beach can feel transient. Shell Bay threads the needle, offering the convenience of lock-and-leave living with the space, privacy and recreational depth of a private club. For those comparing options in the same neighborhood, 2000 Ocean Hallandale Beach remains a compelling oceanfront alternative, while Shell Bay by Auberge Hallandale distinguishes itself with a members-only program anchored by Golf, a serious racquet center and a 48-slip Marina. Buyers who prefer the simplicity of a condominium but require the privacy, acreage and activity menu of a country club will likely find the balance persuasive.
Pragmatically, the timeline matters. As of late 2025, vertical construction is underway and completion is anticipated in 2027. Early purchasers typically secure the widest selection of floor plans and view orientations and may benefit from preferred pricing during construction phases. Given the limited inventory of only 108 homes, and the rarity of new, private-course communities in the Miami area, availability will remain finite by design.
