Shoma Bay Condo Tower Launched in Miami Beach’s North Bay Village

Preconstruction

Real Estate News

Shoma Bay Condo Tower Launched in Miami Beach’s North Bay Village

Developer Shoma Group launched sales for its boutique waterfront condo project Shoma Bay. The 21-story condo tower will stand in one of Miami’s most idyllic waterfront communities, part of a three-island paradise called North Bay Village. Coral Gables-based developer Shoma Group is also the name behind South Beach’s ultra-luxury Ten 30 condos. The masterfully-designed Ten 30 community stands only 3 stories tall with 43 high-design residences and an alluring set of amenities including a rooftop sun deck with a rose-colored pool, outdoor yoga areas, two fitness centers, an herb garden, and more. Prices at the newly launched Shoma Bay condos start in the $400,000s. Buyers will have a choice of 360-square-foot studios to about 1,500-square-foot 3-bedroom residences. Prices are expected to average at about $900 per square foot, an exceptional value for the amenities and location in comparison to other similar waterfront preconstruction projects in Miami. Shoma Bay is likely to break ground early next year, with completion expected in late 2024. Originally planned as a multifamily apartment rental tower, Shoma Bay will be the second pre-construction rental project in Miami to convert to condos, after the successful launch of PMG’s Elser Hotel & Residences in Downtown Miami this June. ### North Bay Village’s Gorgeous Shoma Bay Condos Shoma Bay will rise 21 stories with 327 luxury condos just off the John F. Kennedy Causeway. Developer Shoma Group has tapped MSA Architects to design the project, while Miami-based Adriana Hoyos will design the interiors. MSA’s was the architect for the very popular Waverly at Surfside condominium. The mixed-use Shoma Bay is expected to feature sweeping water views at every turn, in addition to a range of resort-style amenities. Amenities planned for this luxury community include a 6,030-square-foot pool deck with cabanas and a summer kitchen, a fitness center with Technogym equipment, a spa, a residents’ lounge and bar, plus a kid’s club. There would also be a 2,600-square-foot co-working business lounge, library, pet spa, charging stations for electric cars, and more. Shoma Group had paid about $16 million for the 2.8-acre lot at 1850 79th Street Causeway in May. Prior to being converted to condos, the mixed-use project was approved to feature a 36,000-square-foot Publix and about 6,300 square feet of retail inclusive of a rooftop lounge plus Shoma Bazaar food hall. How many of these elements make their way into the condo tower is yet to be seen. ### North Bay Village - A Quaint Community with Water at Every Turn Shoma Bay 2.8-acre waterfront lot sits on the main thoroughfare connecting the islands to the mainland and Miami Beach. Surrounded by fantastic water views on all sides, residents will be part of a beautiful island community that houses the prestigious KLA Schools, a supermarket, a mini market, and a handful of restaurants. By car, the Normandy Shores Golf Course, La Gorce Country Club and North Beach will be less than 10 minutes, shopping at the upscale Bal Harbour Shops will be 20 minutes, the world-famous beaches of South Beach will be 20 minutes, the artsy murals of Wynwood will be 20 minutes, and the Miami International Airport will be 30 minutes. The only other pre-construction planned for North Bay Village is 7918 West Drive. Developed by Kuala Lumpur-based P&O Global Technologies, the 21-story ultra-luxury condo tower will be home to 54 bespoke residences. With only 4 residences per floor, 7918 will feature a unique sun-and-shade design developed by MTTR MGMT’s Juan Azulay. Standout amenities include a waterfront pool, indoor Japanese gardens, wellness studio, a summer kitchen with BBQ terrace, and more. **ARE WE FRIENDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA?** 📣 Connect with us on Instagram, TikTok and Youtube. 📣 If you’re interested in learning more about Shoma Bay, 7918 West Drive, or any other pre-construction condo in Miami or the Miami beaches, please call, chat, or email us directly to lock in early bird prices, get a private presentation, reserve a preferred unit, or browse more investment-worthy properties.

The Most Luxurious Condo Buildings in North Beach

Luxury means different things to different people, but high-end living usually demands high-end prices. So, to gauge which are the most luxurious condo buildings in Miami Beach’s North Beach neighborhood, we’ve ranked the top 5 most luxurious buildings of the neighborhood (based on average price per square foot at the time of publishing). This blog will give you a sneak peek into the kind of lifestyle you can expect to find if you’re interested in what North Beach condo living is like. ###### _Last updated on July 20, 2022_ ## Why Choose North Beach? ##### Bandshell - North Beach, Miami FL. Photo courtesy of MiamiAndBeaches.com North Beach is best known for its family-friendly vibe and its location between the sensationalism of South Beach and high-end shopping and more refined living in Bal Harbour. Historically, this has been the sleepy cousin to South Beach, but North Beach has been going through a renaissance of late with the addition of new condo buildings and revitalization of the city center. Away from the chaos, this laidback part of town boasts crowd-free beaches, a great golf course, musical events at the North Beach Bandshell, and scenic walks along the boardwalk at very friendly price points.

As and when these are being delivered, they are changing North Beach’s reputation from a laid-back, somewhat neglected part of town to one of the most serene and desirable waterfront addresses and neighborhood-y enclaves. Some of the highly anticipated pre-construction condos expected to hit this quaint section of Miami Beach include 72+ Collins Hotel and Residences plus Equinox Hotel and Residences, which will be located where the historic Deauville Hotel stands. More details to follow. ## How Safe is North Beach? This underrated neighborhood gets fewer visitors and tourists compared to its hip cousin down south, thus it typically has less crime compared to the spring breakers’ favorite South Beach. Fewer crowds and a small-town-like community make North Beach safe enough for runners, bikers, and dog walkers to frequent its scenic boardwalk. It also ranks (as part of the Miami Beach area) as No. 1 on the ‘Best Suburbs for Young Professionals in Florida and Miami’ and No. 12 on the ‘Best Places to Live in Miami-Dade County’ rankings according to niche.com. ## Best Restaurants in North Beach ##### The Strand at Carillon Miami - North Beach, Miami FL. Now, North Beach may not have the unlimited fine-dining options of South Beach or Downtown, but it does have a host of affordable restaurants: * Café Prima Pasta is the neighborhood favorite for fresh and flavorful Italian and a great wine bar * The Strand at Carillon Miami offers contemporary Mediterranean featuring locally grown foods, set in the Carillon Hotel and Condo * Gelato-go by Dolci Di Sicilia is a bakery serving the most delicious gelato, cannoli, tea and coffee * George’s Restaurant and Lounge is another great Italian joint known for its lobster ravioli * Burgers and Shakes is the top choice for hearty comfort food and smoothies * Athens Juice Bar is the best affordable bet for healthy treats * Buenos Aires Bakery and Café is where people go for their empanada fix * Mi Colombia Cafeteria Y Restaurante is the best place for homemade Colombian delicacies * Sawaddee is the place for Thai food and sushi in the neighborhood * Sazon Cuban Cuisine is a popular joint for Cuban food, best-known for their ropa vieja, vaca frita and churrasco * Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine is another popular place for top-notch Cuban food * Taquiza is a popular Mexican bar serving some of the best tacos in this part of town * Merkado 31 is known for its Peruvian concept cuisine * El Rancho Grande is THE place to experience the rich and diverse flavors of Mexico * Little Brazil is where locals go for authentic Brazilian picanha, steak, seafood, and desserts * Katana is the sushi bar of choice for locals and visitors alike * New Campo Argentino Steakhouse is a reliable spot for top-quality steaks done right * 7tyone Restaurant & Coffee is a Venezuelan cafe and pizza place * Silverlake Bistro is a mood with candles on each table and Californian delights on your plate * Carrot Express delivers healthy acai bowls and smoothies to this side of town ## Shopping in North Beach Shopping is simple in North Beach, with mostly convenience stores, small private markets, boutiques and utility shops spread across its landscape, but that lends to its neighborhood feel. Even though there aren’t many big-name brands or shops here, you will find a Publix Supermarket and two Walgreens along Collins Avenue plus another Walgreens on Normandy Isle. There is also a Starbucks located next to the Publix, and several specialty food markets, some with coffee counters inside. For luxury shopping options, head north to the Bal Harbour Shops, or south to Lincoln Road. ## The Best Located Condo in North Beach Sitting directly on the beach and with a Publix Supermarket across the street, we’re picking the Carillon Towers as the best-located condo in North Beach. There’s also a Walgreens, the North Beach Bandshell plus a bunch of restaurants within walking distance. A short drive further takes you to two great golf courses close by (Normandy Shores and La Gorce) and the Bal Harbour Shops, which is a world-class shopping destination for high-end brands. **LET'S GET SOCIAL!** Connect with us on Instagram and Youtube.

Comparing the Miami Beaches: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach

Describing South Beach, Mid Beach, and North Beach in Miami is like describing Downtown, Midtown, and Uptown in Manhattan. Each area has a huge variety of qualities that defines it from other parts of the city. Together they make up the whole of “Miami Beach.” But even though there are plenty of similarities, there are also enough differences among these neighborhoods to set them apart enough that each area of Miami Beach is unique unto itself. To give you an insider’s view, here’s our comparison of the three main geographic areas of Miami Beach in case you’re thinking of moving to one of them or are simply curious. _Last updated April 5, 2022._ --- ## All About the Lifestyle: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach --- Moving to Miami Beach definitely means that a beach lifestyle is important to you. So let’s look at what each of these neighborhoods has to offer. South Beach includes the neighborhoods of South of Fifth (SOFI), West Avenue, Lincoln Road, Sunset Harbour, Belle Isle, Collins Park, the Venetian Islands, and the Art Deco District. ###### Photo courtesy of miamiandbeaches.lat South Beach is the most dense part of Miami Beach and the most touristy in certain pockets. South Beach also has the most street life and restaurants, shops, etc. It’s a perfect combination of compact urbanism, with lots of activity, lots of retail, and plenty of people on the streets, making walking around South Beach a delight. ###### Photo courtesy of miamiandbeaches.lat Mid Beach includes the neighborhoods of the Collins Ave Waterfront, the Morris Lapidus historic district (sometimes called Condo Canyon), Allison Island, and the single family residential areas to the west, including La Gorce Country Club. Mid-Beach is a narrow sliver of urbanism set along the Atlantic coastline and divided from a wide swath of single family residential neighborhood by the Indian Creek waterway. South of the landmark Fontainebleau Hotel and its adjacent Fountainebleu Tresor, the streets are walkable and urban, although street life is definitely bereft of the hustle and bustle of South Beach. However, it is getting more and more vibrant, and large pockets of luxury and upscale developments, like the Faena District and the Edition Hotel, have recently come in, bringing curated boutiques and restaurants with them. North of the Fontainebleau, the sliver of urbanism becomes almost completely car-oriented, as the streets are lined with many large residential condo buildings isolating until you get to into northern Collins Avenue approaching 79th Street. ###### Photo courtesy of tripsavy.com North Beach includes the neighborhoods of Normandy Isles, North Shore, Altos del Mar, and Biscayne Point, among others. Like South Beach, North Beach has a huge variety of neighborhood scales intermingled with one another. Quiet and removed from the action, it’s also the most tailor-made for locals, and still has something of a small town feel, with a close-knit community of locals that includes artists, independent professionals, and a diverse ethnic mix. It’s town center aspect continues to improve, as new revival projects spring to life in the area, and the Normandie Golf Course and Community Center offer residents a variety of activities. Street life is generally pleasant, with sidewalk cafes, restaurants, and shops, as well as direct beach access. --- ## Business: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach --- ###### **Nike Miami - Photo courtesy of news.nike.com** The most commercially active part of Miami Beach is undoubtedly South Beach, with a slew of restaurants, retail, and service businesses, such as spas, salons, fitness centers, doctors, attorneys and real estate agents. The area of Mid-Beach along the Atlantic Coast is known as Millionaire’s Row, and many of the local condo buildings have on-site businesses and amenities such as beauty salons, grocery stores and dry cleaners in their lobbies. The commercial area along 41st Street/Arthur Godfrey Road features exclusive boutiques, medical centers, kosher establishments, and restaurants ranging from inexpensive and casual to elegant and exclusive. North Beach is fairly residential, though you can still find everything you need in the way of restaurants and retail, post offices, storage and shipping facilities, legal and real estate professionals, physicians and medical centers, and a wide variety of small, independent businesses. --- ## Walkability and Transportation: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach --- ###### **Photo courtesy of miamiandbeaches.com** All of Miami Beach neighborhoods are easily walkable except for a few elite enclaves, and getting from one end of the Beach to the other is basically a piece of cake, thanks to the free Miami Beach Trolley Service that serves all areas of Miami Beach. South Beach is the most walkable area, with commercial offerings within close range no matter where you are; whereas in Mid-Beach, beyond the businesses that may be housed in the lobby of your building, most area residents use their cars to go shopping, as the commercial area on 41st Street is more than a few blocks’ walk. In North Beach, depending on where you live, you may have to walk as little as two to three blocks or as many as 15 to 20 blocks to reach your favorite restaurant, the nearest supermarket, or your bank, but everything is basically within walking distance, or a few minutes by bike. Getting from Miami Beach to the mainland is doable without a car, however most residents prefer to have a car to get to other areas of Miami. In coming years, it’s about to get even more convenient though, with the recently-approved Monorail that will soon connect Downtown Miami to the Beach across the MacArthur Causeway. --- ## Parks and Greenspace: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach --- Largely designed as a tropical playland, Miami Beach is a balmy, breezy paradise with coconut palms and greenspaces all along the coastline, sandy beaches, and a boardwalk that runs from 23rd to 46th Streets and the Ocean, then continues north as a paved Beachwalk as far as 79th Street. The Beachwalk is currently under construction and set to continue as far as 88th Street to the Miami Beach City limit, and beyond to Surfside and Bal Harbour. ###### Photo courtesy of miamiandbeaches.lat South Beach has a ton of parks and green spaces used by locals and tourists alike. Beginning at the South of Fifth neighborhood, the island’s southernmost tip, South Pointe Park is a favorite and sits where the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay converge. The park amasses 17 acres and features oceanside walking paths, picnic areas, children’s playground areas, and a designated off-leash area on the western side of the park where dogs can run free in a non-enclosed space during specified hours. South Beach is also home to Flamingo Park, a 36-acre park located more centrally located at 12th and Meridian Ave, with an aquatics centers and 8-lane lap swimming pool, baseball and soccer fields, tennis center and courts, a children’s playground, and a host of community programs and activities. Lummus Park, which runs along the coast on Ocean Drive from 5th to 15th Streets, features direct beach access, playgrounds for children, beach volleyball courts and concessions. Maurice Gibb Park in Sunset Harbour is known as the best spot on the Beach to catch a spectacular sunset overlooking the marina. ###### Photo courtesy of miamiandbeaches.lat Mid-Beach enjoys access to the Boardwalk beginning at Indian Beach Park at 46th and the Ocean, as well as the Beachwalk, which includes the Vita Course in Beach View Park at 53rd, where you can get a full, free outdoor workout. ###### North Beach Bandshell en Miami Beach: North Beach FL. Photo courtesy of miamiandbeaches.lat North Beach is home to the shady and tranquil North Beach Oceanside Park, which stretches from 78th Street to 87th and the Ocean, and features direct beach access, picnic areas and pavilions, walking and bike trails, enclosed play areas for dogs, and a children’s playground. North Beach skate park is close by and so is the North Beach Bandshell, where outdoor concerts, skating, and community activities take place year-round. If you love golf, the Normandy Shores Golf Course provides a peaceful escape within walking distance. --- ## Arts and Culture: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach --- ###### Bass Museum of Art. Photo courtesy of Artnexus South Beach has always been the epicenter of culture in Miami Beach, with the Bass Museum of Art, the New World Symphony, the Fillmore, and the famed yearly Art Basel Fair at the Convention Center keeping the arts alive and thriving in the city. But the art and culture is spreading northward in recent years, as the Faena District, which extends from 32nd to 36th streets on Collins Avenue between the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Creek, now hosts a slew of year-round cultural events. Further north, at 73rd and Collins, the recently renovated North Beach Bandshell presents a year-round program of cultural events for children and families, community activities such as skating night, and concerts for lovers of all musical genres, from indie bands to classical to jazz, and from salsa to reggaeton. --- ## Eating and Shopping: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach --- ###### **1212 Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, Florida is a mixed-use development by Plaza Construction** In general, the further south you go in Miami Beach, the more things abound: the highest concentration of restaurants, shops, and other commercial offerings is in South Beach. But as far as quality goes, you can find exceptionally good restaurants in all parts of Miami Beach. There are so many great restaurants in South Beach that it’s hard to pick just a few favorites, but those that come to mind quickly are Stiltsville Fish Bar, a casual seafood bar overlooking the water in Sunset Harbour, and Diya Miami on nearby Bay Road, which serves impeccable, vegetarian Indian-fusion cuisine. Local classics such as Joe’s Stone Crab and Smith & Wollensky in the South of Fifth neighborhood are always appropriate for those truly special occasions. Shopping is a must on Lincoln Road, an outdoor pedestrian shopping mall with major brands like H&M, Zara, Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, BCBG, and many more great brands. Collins Avenue also is home to great shopping and more local boutiques. In terms of grocery stores, South Beach has it all – Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Fresh Market, and several Publix stores. ###### **Gitano Miami | Faena** In Mid-Beach, Lola Restaurant and Grill is a favorite Argentine steak house, and Gitano Miami at Casa Faena is a tropical rooftop experience featuring Mexican specialties from the Yucatán region. For the best in Glatt Kosher and Middle Eastern delicacies, try the little-known Grill House Miami on Arthur Godfrey Road. Shopping here is more limited to the curated boutiques. ###### **Merkado 31** North Beach is a great place to spend less on authentic Latin American cuisine, with great Brazilian food at Little Brazil, exquisite Peruvian fusion at Merkado 31, and ultra-fresh seafood specialties inspired in the cooking of Cuba and Venezuela at Fifi’s. If you want something a little more upscale, try the Strand at the Carillon for classic continental cuisine, or the lavishly romantic Moroccan-French Rouge in Normandy Isle, where you can dine in a lush garden setting. --- ## Schools: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach --- ###### **North Beach Elementary** Miami Beach is a small enough community that the entire area is served by only one public middle school, Nautilus Middle School, located in Mid-Beach near the center off of 41st Street, and only one public high school, Miami Beach Senior High, located in South Beach. The most highly-ranked public elementary school in Miami Beach is the ironically-named North Beach Elementary, which is actually located in South Beach. Nearby Fienberg-Fisher Elementary, and South Pointe Elementary, also in South Beach, are highly-ranked as well, as is Biscayne Elementary in North Beach. The highest-ranked charter school on the beach is Mater Academy at Mt. Sinai in Mid-Beach, which serves the entire island of Miami Beach, in addition to children of employees at Mt. Sinai Hospital. Miami Beach is also home to many private schools, including parochial schools such as Lehman Day School, Hebrew Academy, St. Patrick’s School, and many others. --- ## Architecture and Housing: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach --- The architecture in all of Miami Beach is a mixture of Art Deco, neo-Mediterranean, and Mid-Century Modern, with newer developments that have sprung up over the past several decades. While single-family homes are rare in any area, you may still snatch up a handsome luxury residence in some neighborhoods, particularly along Alton Road, the Venetian Islands, La Gorce, and Pinetree Drive, or in the exclusive waterfront strip of Altos del Mar in North Beach. ###### **1 Hotel and Homes** South Beach provides the opportunity to live in a variety of housing options, from sleek oceanfront highrise such as 1 Hotel and Homes, or in a smaller boutique condo such as Absolut Lofts. Some of the most popular condo residences in South Beach include the Continuum I and II, the Mondrian, and the ultra-luxurious Apogee, all in the South of Fifth neighborhood. ###### **Faena House** In Mid-Beach you can live in a luxurious waterfront condo tower such as the classic Blue Diamond or Green Diamond, or the newer Faena House in the heart of the Faena District, which is transforming the flavor of this neighborhood by encouraging a decidedly younger and hipper demographic to revive the area. Check out our Guide to Living on Collins Avenue, with our picks of the best condos South of Fifth to North Beach and more. North Beach is the least touristy part of Miami Beach, and Miami Beach generally gets more affordable as you go north. Still, North Beach has a great variety of residential types and price points, from small single family homes and affordable rental apartments, to large mansions and extremely expensive condominiums. In this way, it is a reflection of South Beach; however, North Beach is the only area in Miami Beach where you can buy a single-family home directly on the ocean, in the rarified neighborhood of Altos Del Mar. Some of the most popular condo towers in North Beach include the elegant Akoya and Carillon Miami Wellness Resort and Residences, where you can live in an actual spa. --- ## Cost of Living: South Beach vs Mid Beach vs North Beach --- Generally, the farther north you go, the less expensive it gets to live in Miami Beach, with South Beach average listing ranging around $1,234,712 or $728 per square foot. Average listing prices in Mid-Beach are roughly $1,183,395, averaging about $671 per square foot, while higher-price listings in the area average about $5,460 per square foot, with incredible one-of-a-kind, waterfront listings topping off at $45,000,000\. North Beach is the most affordable area of Miami Beach, with an average listing price of $880,551, or average $616 per square foot. High listing prices average $39,900,000, or about $5,022 per square foot. In general, Miami Beach is an incredible place to live, and it has the neighborhood for you. **LET'S GET SOCIAL!** Connect with us on Instagram and Youtube.
