North Bay Village, nestled between Miami and Miami Beach, is undergoing a significant transformation, evolving from a tranquil island community into a bustling hub of residential and commercial growth. This shift is underscored by the development of over 3,000 new residential units and 1 million square feet of commercial and retail space. Adding to the area’s appeal is the announcement of a new soccer academy and AFA training facility led by Lionel Messi, promising to elevate North Bay Village’s profile.
Notable developers, including the Continuum Company, Shoma Group, S2 Development, Sunbeam Properties, Horizon Development, and Riviera Horizons, are driving this revitalization. Their projects aim to blend lifestyle amenities, natural beauty, and urban convenience, catering to the evolving demands of residents and investors alike. Below are several notable developments being spearheaded by the developers mentioned above.

While I hated its excusivity, NBV was quite a place.
Now, like the rest of Miami, over-developed and ruined.
Feels like all the new luxury hi-rise buildings will remove the charm and laid back atmosphere of NBV
Don’t let overdevelopment kill the village.
“There’s too much building going on. Overdevelopment!”
“Prices are unaffordable. There’s not enough supply!”
