THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands: 2026 Wellness-Focused Condo Pre-Construction Buyer's Guide

THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands is the first fully integrated residential project from the global wellness brand THE WELL, co-developed with Miami-based Terra. The eight-story building at 1177 Kane Concourse carries 54 residences plus a separate 102,000-square-foot office component, with architecture by Arquitectonica, interiors by Meyer Davis, and creative direction by Anda Andrei -- the former Ian Schrager studio lead who shaped the original Faena Hotel Miami Beach.

Vertical construction began in February 2024 and the residential building has reached completion in April 2026. The defining feature is a 22,000-square-foot wellness club -- a Caldarium, Saunarium, halotherapy steam room, cold plunge, infrared sound dome, functional medicine and acupuncture rooms, and a Mindful Movement studio -- built into the base of the condo rather than added as a marketing line. Every residence is configured for wellness occupancy: circadian lighting, integrated aromatherapy, and ducted air and water purification.

Pricing on closed and remaining inventory runs from approximately $1.385 million to $7 million across one- to four-bedroom plans of roughly 1,000 to 3,600 square feet.

The Quick Take

Where is THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands?

The site sits directly on Kane Concourse -- the main commercial spine of Bay Harbor Islands, the small barrier-island municipality immediately south of Bal Harbour. Bay Harbor Islands is split into East and West islands connected to mainland Miami by the Broad Causeway and to Bal Harbour by the Kane Concourse bridge over the Indian Creek waterway.

Within a short walk or quick drive from 1177 Kane Concourse:

• Bal Harbour Shops -- the Saks, Neiman Marcus, Le Zoo, La Goulue luxury retail anchor is roughly a two-minute drive east across the Kane Concourse bridge
• Bal Harbour Beach and the oceanfront boardwalk to Surfside -- approximately three minutes east
• Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center -- the public K-8 school is within walking distance and anchors the family demand on the island
• The Broad Causeway -- the connection to I-95 and the mainland, with the Design District roughly 18 minutes and downtown Miami in the same window
• Surfside dining -- Carbone, Hiyakawa, and others approximately five minutes south
• Faena District (Mid-Beach) -- 15 minutes south on Collins Avenue
• Miami International Airport -- 25 to 30 minutes via the Broad Causeway and I-95

The walk-shed from THE WELL covers Kane Concourse coffee shops, small-batch boutiques, the K-8 school, and the existing Bay Harbor residential blocks. The Indian Creek waterway frames the south side of the island.

Who's Behind THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands?

The development is a partnership between two operators.

• Terra is the Miami-based developer led by David Martin. The firm's portfolio includes Grove at Grand Bay, Park Grove, Eighty Seven Park in North Beach, Five Park in South Beach, and the rebuild of the residential program in Bay Harbor Islands itself. Terra has been the most active sponsor on the inner-island corridor between Miami Beach and the mainland.
• THE WELL is the global wellness brand founded by Sarah McLean, Kane Sarhan, and Rebecca Parekh, with flagship clubs in Manhattan, the Hamptons, Mexico, and Costa Rica, plus a growing partnership with hotel operators including Auberge and Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands is the brand's first ground-up residential project.

Architecture comes from Arquitectonica, the Miami-based firm led by Bernardo Fort-Brescia and the most prolific designer of large-scale Miami residential towers. Interiors are by Meyer Davis, the New York studio behind Pendry, Six Senses, and Aman residences globally. Creative direction is by Anda Andrei, the former lead at Ian Schrager Company and shaper of the original Faena Hotel Miami Beach.

Architecture and the Wellness Program

The building reads as a low-rise mass on Kane Concourse, with deep private balconies integrated into the elevation rather than glued onto the facade. Arquitectonica's floor plate runs a wide footprint so the building delivers full-width living rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass and balconies on most residences.

Meyer Davis's interior package follows the wellness program rather than the standard marble-and-chandelier playbook:

• Circadian lighting -- color-temperature shifts that follow the natural day cycle
• Integrated aromatherapy diffusers
• Ducted air and water purification in every home
• Floor-to-ceiling glass with deep private balconies
• Natural materials -- timber, stone, plaster -- rather than reflective curtain wall finishes

The project is being delivered to Florida Green Building Coalition design standards, which is consistent with the brand's positioning. The 22,000 square feet of dedicated wellness space at the base of the building is the centerpiece amenity, not an afterthought.

Residences at THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands

The base program is 54 residences across eight stories. Plans run from one-bedroom to four-bedroom configurations, with most residences carrying private balconies and a pool of larger penthouses at the top floors.

• 54 condominium residences
• One- to four-bedroom floor plans
• Approximately 1,000 to 3,600 square feet
• Floor-to-ceiling glass with deep private balconies
• Circadian lighting systems in every home
• Built-in aromatherapy diffusers
• Ducted air and water purification
• Generous interior storage and walk-in closet program
• Pricing approximately $1.385M to $7M across the active and closed inventory

The project also includes a separate 102,000-square-foot office building on the same parcel -- one of the few Class-A office programs in Bay Harbor Islands and a useful piece for owners who want office space on the island rather than crossing the causeway every morning.

The THE WELL Wellness Club

The wellness club is the structural amenity that justifies the brand. The 22,000-square-foot floor includes:

• Caldarium -- the heated chamber for thermal exposure
• Saunarium -- traditional dry sauna program
• Halotherapy steam room -- salt-air respiratory therapy
• Cold plunge -- temperature-controlled cold immersion
• Infrared sound dome -- combined infrared and sound therapy
• Functional medicine and acupuncture rooms -- in-house treatment program
• Mindful Movement studio -- yoga, Pilates, qigong programming
• Full-service spa with treatment rooms

Beyond the wellness club, the resident amenity stack covers:

• Rooftop resort pool plus a separate circular heated lap pool
• Private rooftop cabanas and a summer kitchen
• A reading room and an organic tea lounge
• A boardroom
• 24/7 wellness concierge via mobile app
• Electric house car for local trips
• CSA produce delivery program
• In-home plant care and organic cleaning service
• Private beach club access (Bal Harbour beach access program)
• Children's wellness programming

The operational distinction is that THE WELL programs the wellness floor with the same staffing model used at their Manhattan and Hamptons flagships, not a third-party operator running a generic spa program.

How THE WELL Bay Harbor Compares

THE WELL is the most explicitly wellness-positioned new building in the Bay Harbor and Bal Harbour corridor. The relevant comps:

Distinctions:

• THE WELL is the only condo in the corridor where the amenity floor is the brand thesis. Most luxury Miami buildings have a spa room. THE WELL has a 22,000-square-foot wellness club operated by a brand that pre-existed the building.
• It is the smallest residence count in the corridor at this design grade. 54 units versus 240+ at Continuum or 260+ at the broader oceanfront comps.
• It is not oceanfront. Kane Concourse is the spine of the island, not Collins Avenue. Beach access runs through a structured private beach club program.
• Pricing is meaningfully below the oceanfront trophy tier. The $1.385M to $7M band is below most direct-oceanfront Bal Harbour and Surfside product.

The Neighborhood

Bay Harbor Islands is a 0.4-square-mile municipality split into two islands. Within a short walk or two-minute drive from THE WELL:

Retail and dining

• Bal Harbour Shops -- Saks, Neiman Marcus, Cartier, Chanel, Le Zoo, La Goulue
• Carbone in Surfside (the Major Food Group flagship)
• Hiyakawa Surfside and the Surfside restaurant cluster on Harding Avenue
• Local Bay Harbor coffee shops and boutiques along Kane Concourse

Schools

• Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center -- the public K-8 within walking distance
• Multiple private K-12 options across the Broad Causeway

Beach and outdoors

• Bal Harbour Beach with public access just east of Kane Concourse
• The boardwalk south to Surfside and Mid-Beach
• The Indian Creek waterway for boat docks and small marine programs

Drive times (off-peak)

• Bal Harbour Beach: ~3 minutes east
• Mid-Beach / Faena District: ~15 minutes south
• Downtown Miami: ~18-22 minutes via Broad Causeway and I-95
• Design District: ~18 minutes
• South Beach: ~20 minutes
• Miami International Airport: 25-30 minutes
• Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL): 30-35 minutes north

Bay Harbor Islands has historically been a low-rise residential island with limited new condo supply, which means THE WELL operates as one of a small number of new branded products in the immediate corridor.

Buyer Fit

THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands tends to work for:

• Buyers who specifically want a wellness-programmed residence -- not a hotel-branded condo
• Owners cross-shopping Surfside, Bal Harbour, and Bay Harbor but who prefer off-Collins, low-rise product
• Households with kids in the Bay Harbor K-8 catchment
• Buyers who value Arquitectonica plus Meyer Davis design at boutique scale
• Owners who actually use spa, sauna, cold plunge, and movement programming on a daily basis rather than once a quarter

It is probably not the right fit for:

• Buyers who require direct oceanfront frontage and Collins Avenue addresses
• Owners targeting full-floor 5,000+ sf product as an entry point
• Short-term-rental investors

Risks and Realities

• Wellness brand operating risk. THE WELL is a young brand and the first residential implementation is at Bay Harbor. Long-term operational quality of the wellness club is the central question. Confirm the membership structure and the brand's contractual obligations to the building before closing.
• HOA load. A 22,000-square-foot wellness club, plus circadian lighting and air-purification programs in every home, means HOA is structurally higher than a comparable Bay Harbor condo without those features.
• Resale market depth. A 54-unit boutique building with a specialized wellness positioning is a thinner resale market than larger comparable buildings. Confirm how the brand's residence resale ecosystem is shaping at the closed-transaction level before underwriting a short hold.
• Beach access program. This is not an oceanfront building. The private beach club access program is the operational answer; understand exactly which beach club, what the service includes, and how it is funded by HOA.
