North Bay Village Approves $1B+ Continuum Waterfront District Transformation

A major milestone in the revitalization of North Bay Village has been reached with the unanimous approval of the Continuum Waterfront District—a transformative, two-phase mixed-use development set along three acres of prime Biscayne Bay waterfront. Aligned with the city’s NBV100 Master Plan, the project emphasizes walkability, climate resilience, and public waterfront access.

Phase 1: Continuum Club & Residences Underway

The first phase is anchored by the Continuum Club & Residences, a striking 32-story tower rising approximately 340 feet. It will feature 198 to 236 residential units, with over 50% already sold as of May 2025.

Construction began in March 2025, with completion expected by early 2028. The project is backed by a $25 million pre-development loan from Benmark Capital.

The design and execution team includes:

• Aksoy Holdings (Developer)

• Arquitectonica (Architecture)

• Durukan Design (Interiors)

• Martha Schwartz (Landscape Design)

• KAST (General Contractor)

Residents will have access to over 60,000 square feet of luxury amenities, including:

• Resort-style pool and spa

• Yoga and wellness studios

• Private marina with yacht and beach club access

• Gourmet dining by Dorsia

Phase 2 & District Vision: 600-Foot Towers, Hotel, Retail & Green Public Space

The broader vision for the Continuum Waterfront District includes:

• Two additional towers rising 40–60 stories

• A boutique hotel

• Class A office and amenity spaces

• Renovated marina and public waterfront zone

• Curated retail, restaurants, and hospitality experiences

Site assembly included the Shuckers and Best Western parcels, acquired for $75 million with $67.5 million in financing from Longline.

Zoning Upgrades and Public Benefits

A custom zoning designation—“Continuum Waterfront District”—has replaced the original T6-30 zoning, increasing height limits to 600 feet and allowing greater density. As part of the approval, developers have committed to 5% workforce housing.

Public-facing enhancements include:

• A scenic Island Walk

• 60-foot-wide view corridors toward the water

• Expansive green civic plazas

• New recreational areas for both residents and visitors

This project places North Bay Village on the map as a rising luxury district with smart urbanism, high-end living, and community value. It blends residential luxury with public accessibility and climate-forward design, setting a new benchmark for waterfront development in South Florida.
