Five boutique-scale residential candidates in Bay Harbor Islands and North Bay Village, assessed through construction milestones, occupancy evidence, and the operational checks a carefully managed move-in requires.
A beautifully appointed residence is only part of a successful acquisition. For a household coordinating furnishings, art, installers, and a carefully timed arrival, the building’s service infrastructure warrants the same scrutiny as the floor plan. The question is not simply when keys become available, but whether the full installation can proceed with predictable access and clear responsibility.
These five projects in Bay Harbor Islands and North Bay Village merit consideration for their residential scale and construction or occupancy milestones. They are not a verified ranking of freight capacity or vendor-management performance. Ample freight capacity and professional vendor protocols remain requirements to confirm in writing at every property.
Here, active encompasses construction, anticipated delivery, and recent occupancy. The order favors boutique scale and project progress rather than immediate move-in readiness. THE WELL has the strongest reported occupancy evidence of the five, despite its fourth-place position.
1. 9900 West: 23 residences in Bay Harbor Islands
At 9900 West Bay Harbor Drive, 9900 West has the fewest residences on this shortlist. Its 23 residences are the principal reason to begin here when considering a more intimate ownership setting. The project reportedly topped off in December 2025, with delivery targeted for summer 2026.
That target does not confirm completed delivery. Before planning an arrival, verify current occupancy authorization, elevator commissioning, and available move-in reservations. Boutique scale is a screening consideration, not evidence of larger service elevators or fewer scheduling conflicts.
2. Bay Harbor Towers: 44 residences on East Island
Bay Harbor Towers comprises 44 residences and reportedly topped off in November 2025, with delivery targeted for the third quarter of 2026. Previously reported asking prices for remaining inventory began around $2.6 million for residences and $10 million for penthouses.
Previously reported sales exceeded 75%, with nine residences and two penthouses remaining. Neither inventory nor pricing should be treated as current. For an acquisition planned around installation requirements, the decisive next step is a management-approved schedule that distinguishes closing, contractor access, furniture delivery, and household occupancy.
3. Tula Residences: 54 waterfront residences in North Bay Village
Tula Residences is a 21-story waterfront development with 54 residences. It was reported as topped off-a construction milestone, not confirmation of occupancy approval or a move-in date.
Its residential count makes it a candidate for buyers seeking a smaller ownership community. The operational review remains separate: confirm the service route from truck to residence, the permitted delivery sequence, and whether the elevators designated for resident installations are commissioned and available for reservation.
4. THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands: 66 residences on Kane Concourse
THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands comprises 66 residences and more than 22,000 square feet of wellness amenities. Occupancy reportedly began at the end of 2025, giving it the clearest evidence of occupancy in this group.
For a client with a firm arrival deadline, it deserves early attention regardless of its numerical placement. Occupancy, however, does not establish freight capacity, vendor approval standards, or available installation dates. Request the current operating documents rather than infer service performance from the wellness offering.
5. La Baia North: 57 residences with a longer planning horizon
At 9481 East Bay Harbor Drive, La Baia North comprises 57 residences and was targeting early 2027 delivery. It reportedly secured a $67 million construction loan and was previously reported as approximately 75% pre-sold.
This is a forward-planning candidate, not an established option for immediate move-in. It should not be confused with La Baia South, the separate 68-unit development that reportedly received its certificate of occupancy at the end of 2025 and was fully sold. South’s occupancy milestone does not establish North’s readiness.
For buyers considering Bay Harbor Towers, the essential distinction is between a delivery target and a confirmed move-in appointment. Where summer or third-quarter 2026 targets have passed, do not assume completion simply because the calendar has advanced.
At THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands, reported occupancy provides a stronger starting point, but the next questions remain practical: which dates are available, who authorizes access, and what must each vendor submit? The written response should identify the responsible management contact and the rules that apply to the specific residence.
Request service-elevator cab dimensions, door clearances, rated weight limits, and commissioning status. Then obtain loading-bay dimensions, truck restrictions, staging capacity, and delivery windows. Elevator measurements alone cannot establish whether a crated object will clear every doorway and turn along the route.
For a waterfront candidate such as Tula Residences North Bay Village, the same discipline applies: setting and residential count do not answer access questions. Have the mover and relevant specialist installers assess the route against their largest or heaviest pieces before dispatch.
The objective is documented compatibility between the household’s delivery requirements and the building’s permitted operations-not a general assurance that large deliveries can be accommodated.
Obtain the current move-in manual, insurance requirements, reservation procedures, deposits, and surface-protection rules. Clarify whether vendors require individual approval, whether an approved-vendor policy applies, and who resolves scheduling conflicts. These are diligence requests, not confirmed features of the five properties.
For La Baia North Bay Harbor Islands, use the longer planning horizon to request draft procedures, recognizing that final operating rules still require confirmation. Keep procurement decisions separate from assumptions about future access.
For any shortlisted residence, build the final installation schedule around three confirmed items: authorized occupancy, an approved delivery reservation, and accepted vendor documentation. If any remains unresolved, retain flexibility in storage and arrival arrangements rather than present a tentative date as settled.

If branded residences are on your mind — as a home or as an allocation — we would be glad to share what we are seeing, privately.
Begin a quiet conversationNo. The shortlist includes construction-stage, delivery-planning, and recently occupied properties; current readiness requires direct confirmation.
THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands reportedly began occupancy at the end of 2025. That does not confirm current delivery reservations or vendor access.
No. Freight dimensions, weight limits, loading facilities, and operating availability remain unconfirmed at all five projects.
Its 23-residence scale is the principal selection rationale, alongside its reported construction progress. Its placement does not establish superior move-in operations.
Bay Harbor Towers targeted third-quarter 2026 delivery after reportedly topping off in November 2025. A passed target is not proof of completed delivery.
It establishes a construction milestone, not occupancy approval. Tula’s move-in timing and operating procedures still require confirmation.
La Baia North was targeting early 2027 delivery. It is a forward-planning candidate rather than an established immediate move-in option.
No. La Baia North comprises 57 residences, while the separate 68-unit La Baia South reportedly received its certificate of occupancy at the end of 2025.
Request elevator dimensions, door clearances, weight limits, commissioning status, loading-bay dimensions, truck restrictions, staging capacity, and delivery windows.
Obtain the current move-in manual, insurance requirements, reservation rules, deposit terms, protection requirements, and vendor-approval policies. Confirm the management contact responsible for authorizing access.
