Shoma Bay in North Bay Village

Shoma Group has officially commenced construction on Shoma Bay, an ambitious residential project located in the picturesque waterfront community of North Bay Village, Florida. This groundbreaking event marks a significant milestone for the area, which has seen little development over the past decade. Launched in September 2022, Shoma Bay has quickly established itself as the benchmark for future residential projects in the region.

Masoud Shojaee, CEO and Chairman of the Board at Shoma Group, recognized the island’s untapped potential early on. His vision to transform North Bay Village into a luxurious residential haven is now becoming a reality with Shoma Bay being the first major development to capitalize on the area’s evolution.

Shoma Bay will feature 333 luxury residences, including a variety of meticulously designed floor plans that range from furnished studios to expansive three-bedroom units, with sizes spanning from 344 to 2,700 square feet. The project will also include 10 penthouses, one of which will be the home of Masoud and Stephanie Shojaee, President of Shoma Group. Prices for the available units start at $750,000, with ISG World serving as the exclusive sales team for the development.

Each residence will be thoughtfully crafted to optimize comfort and functionality, with abundant natural light and elegant finishes curated by renowned designer Adriana Hoyos. The building will blend classic art-deco elements with contemporary aesthetics, catering to individuals seeking a holistic approach to living that seamlessly integrates work, wellness, and leisure.

The penthouses at Shoma Bay will offer unique, high-end finishes. Kitchens will be outfitted with the exclusive Gaggenau Appliance Collection, including a French Door Panel-Ready Refrigerator and Freezer, a Panel-Ready dishwasher, a Wall Oven, and an Induction Cooktop. Bathrooms will feature the exclusive Armani Bathroom Collection, including a Frameless Rain Shower and a Designer Soaking Tub in select units.

Shoma Bay is set to redefine luxury living with its array of world-class amenities. Residents will have access to a resident lounge and bar, a spa with a hammam, a golf simulator, a two-story state-of-the-art fitness center, a pet spa, a kids club, a theater room, a wine cellar, a cigar lounge, and a Zen Garden with fire pits. The development’s centerpiece will be the expansive 6,030-square-foot pool deck, offering panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, complete with a pool, cabanas, and a summer kitchen. Additional conveniences include designated parking, electric vehicle charging stations, a bike room, storage spaces, and a grocery delivery room.

Moreover, Shoma Bay will be anchored by a 35,037-square-foot Publix supermarket and 15,628 square feet of retail space, which includes a rooftop lounge. This integration of retail and residential spaces aims to enhance the community living experience by providing residents with easy access to daily necessities and leisure activities.

“We are incredibly excited to break ground on Shoma Bay and embark on this transformative journey in North Bay Village,” said Stephanie Shojaee. “At Shoma Group, we meticulously craft each development with the future residents in mind, ensuring that every detail enhances their comfort and enriches their lifestyle. From the serene resident lounge to the state-of-the-art fitness center and the panoramic pool deck overlooking Biscayne Bay, we have curated a collection of exceptional amenities that will elevate the living experience for our residents.”

Situated at 1850 John F. Kennedy Causeway, Shoma Bay boasts a prime location at the intersection of 79th Street Causeway and East Treasure Drive. This strategic position offers residents convenient access to major highways and a plethora of world-class dining, retail, and entertainment options available in South Florida. The project’s anticipated completion date is set for the end of 2026.

North Bay Village Approves Development Project

North Bay Village Approves 7.3 Million Square Foot Development Project Featuring 1,936 Residential Units

North Bay Village Approves Development Project

Sunbeam Properties, the proprietor of WSVN Channel 7, has a 7.3 million square foot redevelopment plan that has officially been approved by the North Bay Village Council. The special area plan for a 12.9-acre site covering 1400, 1401, 1415, 1600, and 1601 79th Street Causeway, as well as 155 and 1624 North Bay Causeway, was approved by the Village Council on a 3-2 vote early on Wednesday.

A 300-room hotel, 1,936 residential units, 200,000 square feet of office space, 670,000 square feet of retail space, 117 units of workforce housing, and around 5,000 parking spots are all included in the development plan. Additionally, there would be 84,366 square feet of public space, including a half-mile pedestrian walkway known as the “island walk” that would be surrounded by restaurants and stores. A marina would also be a part of the project.

The project’s highest structure would be 650 feet tall. To lessen the number of shadows cast upon the smaller dwellings, the structures closer to single-family homes would be smaller. Buildings north of the project would be taller and would rise 240 feet in height south of the causeway.

The offices and studios of WSVN will eventually be relocated as part of the construction. WSVN and Sunbeam Properties are owned by the multibillionaire Ansin family.

The project’s first phase, according to Ansin, would be built south of the causeway and will have 500 to 600 apartments spread across two buildings, along with a restaurant, grocery store, and other retail space that may house an urgent care facility or a daycare. Sunbeam Properties must apply for building permits for the first phase within two years in accordance with its development agreement with the village. The first renters, according to Ansin, should move in within five years.

As the Ansin family celebrates the 60th anniversary of running WSVN in North Bay Village, CEO Andy Ansin admitted that this was an emotionally charged decision for him. He has visited that studio ever since he was a youngster.

Although Ansin said the initial concept wasn’t for redevelopment, Sunbeam Properties over time purchased surrounding lands. According to Ansin, the first purchase was made to stop a strip club from being built next door. It bought a nearby office complex so the TV station would have more parking.

Ansin discovered North Bay Village had potential after having experts from the University of Miami School of Architecture do research on future renovation. However, it necessitated moving the TV studio.

Ansin stated that he is still looking for a new studio for WSVN. He emphasized that it would require plenty of parking, hurricane-resistant construction, and backup power generation.

PlusUrbana, a firm based in Miami, is the project’s architect. Attorney Ian DeMello, who is headquartered in Miami, is the developer’s representative.

Sales Officially Launch for 21-Story Tower Shoma Bay Condos in North Bay Village

Shoma Bay Exterior

At a North Bay Village property it purchased earlier this year, Shoma Group is changing its plans from apartments to residential condos.

Shoma Group, led by Chairman Masoud Shojaee and President Stephanie Shojaee, is beginning sales of the Shoma Bay condos, with prices beginning in the $400,000s. ISG World, led by Craig Studnicky, was chosen by the Coral Gables-based developer to handle the units’ sales and marketing.

Shoma Bay will be a mixed-use development with 21 stories and 327 residences on a 2.8-acre plot of land.

In May, Shoma paid nearly $16 million for the property at 1850 79th Street Causeway with plans for a Publix-anchored residential and retail complex. The project, which includes a 36,000-square-foot Publix and around 6,300 square feet of retail space, including a rooftop lounge and a food hall called Shoma Bazaar, was approved by North Bay Village in March.

Condos are replacing rentals as South Florida’s rent growth finally starts to slow down. Similar adjustments have been made by other developers. A new rental skyscraper in downtown Miami was converted to a condo tower in July by Property Markets Group and Greybrook, and is currently known as The Elser Hotel & Residences.

The Shoma Bay will have apartments ranging in size from 360 square foot studios to roughly 1,500 square foot three bedroom condos. According to a spokeswoman, the average cost per square foot for all units is around $900.

Building completion could happen in the latter half of 2024, with construction set to start early next year. The interiors are being designed by Adriana Hoyos, with MSA Architects serving as the project architect.

There will include a lounge, bar, spa, gym, pool deck, library, and kids’ club among the amenities. A 2,600-square-foot co-working area and electric vehicle charging stations will also be included in the structure.

If you or someone you know have an interest in purchasing at Shoma Bay Condos, please contact Lucas Lechuga via email at [email protected] or by phone at (786)247-6332.

1755 Kennedy Causeway Waterfront Tower

Developers File Coastline Review for a 30 Story Mixed Use Tower

Leave a reply
1755 Kennedy Causeway Waterfront Tower

In North Bay Village at 1755 Kennedy Causeway, B Developments under the LGE NBV, LLC submitted a request to Miami-Dade County for a coastline review. Arquitectonica was hired by the developer to create a mixed-use structure that would be 345 feet tall, 30 floors tall, and directly face Biscayne Bay.

Due to the property’s frontage on Biscayne Bay and its compliance with Article III, Section 33D of the Miami-Dade County Code of Ordinances, the application is necessary. The coastline setback and side setback are subject to variance requests from the developer. A structure with 30 floors must be 75 feet away from the main shoreline and 25 feet away from the side shorelines, according to the County Code’s setback requirements.

The property can’t be developed strictly in accordance with the criteria due to the tower’s height, the property’s size, and the lot’s proportions. To build in compliance with the site plans, the setback from the beach would have to be decreased to 25 feet, resulting in a 50-foot variance.

The developer is offering to construct a public bay walk behind the property along Biscayne Bay as leverage to get the variances allowed for the project because the County standards cannot be met. On the plus side, the proposal complies with the 2020 Island Walk Design Criteria as well as the North Bay Village Unified Land Development Code.

According to floor designs submitted in February 2022 to the North Bay Village Planning & Zoning Board, the distinctive two-story waterfront restaurant would occupy 19,455 square feet of area between the ground floor and mezzanine level. From the mezzanine level to floors 2 through 5, 8 and 9, the majority of the west podium would be occupied by offices. There are five storeys of parking on the podium’s remaining surface.

On the 6th and 7th floors are the residential amenity levels, which have a landscape deck with three pools, barbecue spaces, fire pits, kids’ splash pads, party lounges, residential lounges, game rooms, sky lobbys, and fitness centers. On the south and west sides of the sixth level, there will be a separate amenity deck that the office tenants can use.

Building Plans Description

  • 473,252 square feet project
  • 201 residential units
  • 32,654 square feet of amenities
  • 19,455 square feet for a 2-story restaurant with a waterfront terrace
  • 1,860 square feet of office space
  • 408 parking space in a parking structure podium

The landscape architect is listed as Arquitectonica and the civil engineer as Kimbley-Horn.

Residential units would start on the 10th level and range in size from 670 to 2255 square feet, including 104 one-bedroom, 83 two-bedroom, 8 three-bedroom, and 6 four-bedroom units.
