La Baia North Bay Harbor Islands: Pre-Construction Buyer's Guide (2026)
La Baia North -- Continuum Company's Ian Bruce Eichner second Bay Harbor Islands project, at 9481 East Bay Harbor Drive -- brings a Luis Revuelta-designed, 8-story bayfront condo with private boat slips and a 2027 delivery target.
La Baia North Bay Harbor Islands: Pre-Construction Buyer's Guide (2026)
La Baia North is an eight-story, bayfront condominium at 9481 East Bay Harbor Drive in Bay Harbor Islands -- the second project in the neighborhood from The Continuum Company, the development firm led by chairman and CEO Ian Bruce Eichner and the team behind Continuum South Beach. Architecture is by Luis Revuelta of Revuelta Architecture International, with interiors by New York-based Durukan Design and landscape and pool design by C. Wright Studios.
The building broke ground in October 2024, topped off in April 2026, and delivery is anticipated in Q1 2027. Continuum Company secured a $67 million construction loan from S3 Capital in September 2025. The project reported it was 75% pre-sold at the time of the topping-off milestone.
La Baia North is the companion to La Baia South at 9201 East Bay Harbor Drive -- a 68-residence Eichner project that received its Temporary Certificate of Occupancy in Q4 2025 and sold out prior to completion. The two buildings share the same architect, interior designer, and design vocabulary, and together anchor Continuum's Bay Harbor Islands footprint.

Where is La Baia North?
Bay Harbor Islands is a two-island municipality in Biscayne Bay, incorporated in 1947. The town covers roughly 200 acres split into a West Island -- almost entirely single-family and Miami Modern (MiMo) apartment buildings -- and an East Island, which mixes multi-family residential with commercial along Kane Concourse (State Road 922). The two islands are connected by the Shepard Broad Causeway, a toll causeway with a drawbridge maintained by the town.
9481 East Bay Harbor Drive is on the eastern edge of the East Island, giving La Baia North a direct bay-facing frontage. Immediate context:
- Kane Concourse cafes and boutiques -- ~90-second walk
- Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center (1155 93rd Street) -- one of Miami-Dade's highest-rated public schools, ~4 blocks
- Bal Harbour Shops -- ~5-minute drive across the 96th Street bridge
- Bal Harbour Beach -- ~5-minute drive
- Surfside village and beach -- ~10-minute radius (Carbone and Le Zoo are among nearby dining anchors in Bal Harbour and Surfside)
- Broad Causeway -- ~10-minute drive to North Miami and I-95
- Haulover Inlet -- direct ocean access for boat traffic
- Miami International Airport -- ~25-30 minutes by car
Bay Harbor Islands has its own police department and municipal government, and the streetscape is intentionally low-rise -- a village character closer to New England seaside than to the Miami Beach high-rise coast one causeway east.
Who's Behind La Baia North?
The Continuum Company was founded and is led by Ian Bruce Eichner, a New York-based developer with more than three decades of urban mixed-use experience. Continuum has delivered more than 15 million square feet of real estate representing over $7.5 billion in development value across New York and Miami.
The Miami track record starts with Continuum South Beach -- the two-tower gated beachfront community completed between 2002 and 2008 at the southern tip of South Beach. Continuum South Beach was the first gated beachfront community in South Beach and has remained one of the strongest per-square-foot performers in Miami Beach.
Other Continuum projects across the portfolio include Madison Square Park Tower, City Spire, One Broadway Place, The Manhattan Club, The Royale, and Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights.
Eichner's daughter Alexandra Eichner has taken an increasingly prominent role in Continuum's Miami development pipeline, including La Baia and other South Florida projects.
Architecture and Design
Luis Revuelta of Revuelta Architecture International is the architect. Revuelta's Miami portfolio includes the Aston Martin Residences at 300 Biscayne Boulevard (a 66-story, 816-foot tower), Brickell Flatiron, Una Residences on the Miami River, and the sister project La Baia South.
Revuelta's La Baia scheme uses a low-slung, horizontal architectural vocabulary appropriate to Bay Harbor Islands' scale restrictions. The building reads as a series of stacked, cantilevered floors with wide bay-facing terraces and low-profile glass railings. The two La Baia buildings share the same design language and are legible as a matched pair from the bay.
Durukan Design -- the New York-founded interior firm -- handled the residential and amenity interiors. C. Wright Studios designed the landscape and pool program.
Residences at La Baia North
Delivered spec:
- 57 to 68 residences across eight stories (see note above)
- Two- to four-bedroom floor plans
- ~1,400-2,100 square feet interior
- 9-foot ceilings in standard residences; 10-foot ceilings in upper floors and penthouses
- Wide-plank European wood flooring
- Snaidero custom Italian cabinetry in kitchens
- Miele appliance packages
- Hansgrohe bath fixtures
- Marble flooring in the bathrooms
- Floor-to-ceiling impact glass
- Deep bay-facing terraces on every residence
Pricing at launch ranged from roughly $810K to $3M+ for standard inventory; more recently marketed pricing has landed in the $1.4M-$3.9M range as sales absorbed the lower-priced units. Two-bedroom park-view residences were the entry price; three-bedroom bayfront residences top the standard stack.
Continuum's Track Record on the Water
Continuum has run this exact play once before, at Continuum South Beach, and once already at La Baia South. Both are useful benchmarks:
| Project | Location | Type | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Continuum South Beach | 50 & 100 S Pointe Dr, Miami Beach | Two-tower beachfront | Delivered 2002-2008 |
| La Baia South | 9201 E Bay Harbor Dr | 8-story, 68 residences | TCO Q4 2025, 100% sold |
| La Baia North | 9481 E Bay Harbor Dr | 8-story, 57-68 residences | Topped off Apr 2026, delivery Q1 2027 |
La Baia South's full sell-through prior to TCO is the most direct comp for La Baia North underwriting. The two buildings share design team, developer, and neighborhood -- the differences are floor count on some plans, and the specific unit mix.
The Amenity Program
La Baia North's amenity block is oversized relative to the unit count -- roughly 20,000+ square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities on an 8-story boutique building:
Rooftop
- ~9,700-square-foot rooftop deck split into adult and family zones
- Rooftop pool with sun shelf and lounge chairs
- Heated soaking spa overlooking Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean
- Sunset lounge with firepit on the adult side
- Summer kitchen
- Kids' splash pad, play lawn, and dedicated grill area on the family side
Boating and water
- Private marina with resident boat slips (20 slips at La Baia South; similar program at La Baia North)
- Dockside water sports launch with kayaks and paddleboards
- Direct ocean access through Haulover Inlet
Wellness and social
- Fitness center
- Residents' club room with bar and movie area
- Co-working business offices and study pods
- Interactive water feature for children
Service
- Tesla house car program
- 24/7 valet and front desk reception
- On-site property manager
- EV charging stations
- Pet-friendly building with nearby dog parks
How La Baia North Compares to Other Bay Harbor Islands Trophy Condos
Bay Harbor Islands has one of the deepest active pre-construction pipelines in Miami-Dade, all boutique and low-rise by municipal design. La Baia North sits mid-tier by unit count and design vocabulary:
| Project | Units | Stories | Developer / Architect |
|---|---|---|---|
| La Baia North | 57-68 | 8 | Continuum / Luis Revuelta |
| La Baia South | 68 | 8 | Continuum / Luis Revuelta (delivered Q4 2025) |
| The Well Bay Harbor Islands | 66 | 8 | Terra / delivered April 2026 |
| Origin Residences | 27 | Low-rise | Boutique with Artefacto interiors |
Distinctions:
- La Baia is the deepest developer-repetition project in the neighborhood. Continuum has built the same building twice next door to itself with the same team.
- The boat slip and Haulover Inlet access is a distinguishing amenity. Not every Bay Harbor Islands building can offer 20 resident boat slips, and Haulover is one of the few direct ocean access inlets on the Miami-Dade coast.
- Bay-facing rather than causeway-facing. 9481 East Bay Harbor Drive is on the eastern rim of the island, orienting toward the open bay rather than toward Kane Concourse traffic.
The Neighborhood
Bay Harbor Islands' character has been quietly stable for decades. Municipality-enforced building height and setback limits keep the streetscape at a walkable scale, and a police department, town hall, and the top-rated public K-8 school anchor a genuinely residential feel:
Immediate walkability
- Kane Concourse shops, cafes, and dining
- Bay Harbor Cafe and Emilio's Trattoria on Kane Concourse
- Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center
Short drive
- Bal Harbour Shops (~5 min) -- luxury retail anchor for the region
- Bal Harbour Beach and Surfside Beach
- Surfside village and dining
- The Surf Club Four Seasons (Surfside)
Broader access
- Broad Causeway west into North Miami and I-95 (~10 min)
- 96th Street Bridge east into Bal Harbour and Collins Avenue
- Miami Beach and Faena District (~15 min south by causeway)
- Miami International Airport (~25-30 min)
- Aventura Mall (~15 min north)
Buyer Fit
La Baia North fits:
- Boating owners who want direct ocean access via Haulover Inlet with a resident boat slip
- Families targeting the Ruth K. Broad K-8 school district and Bay Harbor Islands' village character
- Buyers cross-shopping Bal Harbour, Surfside, and Miami Beach who prefer lower-density municipal governance
- Continuum South Beach owners looking for a Bay Harbor Islands second home under the same developer platform
- International buyers who value the town's own police force and quiet streetscape
Probably not a fit:
- Short-term-rental investors (Bay Harbor Islands is oriented toward primary and long-term residents)
- Buyers who need direct beachfront (Bay Harbor Islands does not have oceanfront frontage -- the ocean is one causeway east at Bal Harbour or Surfside)
- Buyers requiring high-rise views (municipal height caps keep the whole town low-rise)
