North Bay Village Towers Approved by Related & Macklowe
July 25, 2025
North Bay Village Towers, a luxury condo project by Related Group and Macklowe Properties, have moved closer to reality. The twin 43-story buildings just received first-round zoning approval from the North Bay Village Commission. The development will bring high-end residences, a waterfront park, and a private marina to the northern tip of Harbor Island.
Commission Approves North Bay Village Towers
The commission voted unanimously to allow construction of the 498-foot towers at 8000 and 7946 East Drive under a Special Area Plan (SAP). Related is leading development, and will return on Sept. 16 for a second vote.
Waterfront Site Assembly and Redevelopment Plans
The development team assembled more than 4.1 acres, including the Biscayne Sea Club and Majestic Isle buildings. Related and Macklowe intend to redevelop both sites into high-end condos with modern amenities.
Features of the Towers: Marina, Park, and Parking
Plans include a 42-slip private marina, 9,000-square-foot public park, and an 800-space garage. Arquitectonica’s Bernardo Fort Brescia is designing the project.
Environmental Concerns Over Marina Use
Commissioners asked developers to ensure manatee safety and assess permitted slips in the area. A marina cleanup contract is also required before final approval.
