North Bay Village is one of the most underrated waterfront areas. I have always liked
the very convenient location, midway between Miami Beach, Miami, and North Miami Beach. Stunning views from many points, access to ocean waters, proximity to Midtown, South Beach; and a certain small town atmosphere that have been lost in most other places in South Florida.
Two big waterfront condo projects approved in North Bay Village
Two condominium projects were preliminarily approved along
Kennedy Causeway in North Bay Village.
The city's zoning commission signed off on the projects on
Tuesday night and they will go before the city commission in January for final
approval.
A PROJECT BY BRICK
VILLAGE
The larger project is a 75-unit condo by Miami-based Brick
Village 79 LLC at 1601 Kennedy Causeway. It acquired the 1.07-acre site, the
home of the Trio on the Bay restaurant, for $4.5 million in June.
Brick Village plans to build a 22-story tower with 45
two-bedroom condos and 30 three-bedroom condos. It would also have 2,000 square
feet of offices, 2,135 square feet of retail, 2,000 square feet for restaurants
and a 234-space parking garage. The tower would include a pool and spa.
Attorney Gerardo Vazquez, who represents the developer,
couldn't be reached for comment. Brick Village is controlled by four managing
members: Leonidas Lima de Macedo, Transinvest Logistics & Investment, JG
Seven, and Carmel Investors.
PIAVE
Bay Village Venture, a company headed by Jose Saal in North
Miami Beach, plans to construct a 43-unit condo building at 1725 Kennedy
Causeway. Saal said his 19-story project will be called Piave.
It will feature four units per floor, all of them corner
units, with 40 two-bedroom condos and three three-bedroom condos. The building
will also have a 2,251-square-foot restaurant on the ground floor, a pool, a
gym and a 120-space parking garage.
"It's a great location in the middle of the bay,"
Saal said. "You are in close proximity to everything, close to South Beach
and close to Aventura. You can see all the way to downtown Miami."
Saal said he hopes to break ground in six to eight months.
He doesn't have the pricing finalized yet. Next up, Saal said he'll partner
with Brick Village to propose building a bay walk along the causeway so
visitors can enjoy the water.
Bay Village Venture paid $2.1 million for the 0.6-acre site
in 2013.
