Bal Harbour Beauty

Industry leaders Related Group (Related), Two Roads Development and Rockpoint today unveiled Rivage Bal Harbour (Rivage), a rare condominium property located in one of South Florida’s most exclusive enclaves. Made up of only 61 sky villas, the oceanfront development boasts an all-star design team, with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and Rottet Studio leading architecture and interior designs, respectively. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing (DEDM) is the property’s exclusive sales partner; Pablo Alfaro will serve as sales director.

“Bal Harbour is one of South Florida’s most special neighbourhoods and an area we’ve wanted to build in for many years,” says Jon Paul Pérez, Related’s President. “Everything is in place to make this a truly once-in-a-generation project, from the site, to the team, to the general scarcity of newly constructed high-end supply in this neighbourhood. Together with our partners, we look forward to delivering a property that honours Bal Harbour’s glamorous history while helping shape its future.”

Nestled between the glistening waters of the intracoastal waterway and 200 feet of uninterrupted oceanfront, Rivage immerses residents in South Florida’s breath-taking natural beauty. Employing a Tropical Modern aesthetic, SOM forgoes rigid lines in favour of flowing, natural shapes and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces. The property’s main 275-foot tower is itself a love letter to the sea and sky, with its three interconnecting glass ovals evoking a crystalline coral reef while allowing for maximum water views.

The tower’s amenity package is equally thoughtful, offering services and activities on-par with even the most elevated resorts. A focus on wellness connects the more than 25,000 square feet of on-site offerings, with highlights including a state-of-the-art fitness pavilion with panoramic views, a hammam spa, complete with hot/cold plunge pools, and private treatment rooms, pickle and paddle ball courts surrounded by lush landscapes designed by Swiss design firm Enea Garden Design. Residents and guests will also enjoy more laid-back options, including a private, chef-driven food and beverage services and cocktail lounge, VR game simulator and kids’ playroom. Resort-style services, including a 24/7 residential butler and dedicated lifestyle concierge, round out the package and ensure all residents’ whims are met.

The organic influences are clearly evident across Rivage’s 61 homes, with the flowing, open-concept plans carefully tuned to accentuate the awe-inspiring vistas. Designed to provide a single-family home experience, the residences range from 3,300 to nearly 13,000 square feet and offer in-unit elevator access and a private parking garage with each unit. Residents will also enjoy custom kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, as well as bathrooms and closets designed by Rottet Studio with imported Italian finishes. The mansion-in-the-sky feel is furthered by the sprawling living rooms opening up to oversized terraces with direct views of the sea and nearby Biscayne Bay.

“Every single one of our decisions is geared towards providing a marquee experience,” says Taylor Collins, Managing Partner at Two Roads. “While our buyers can certainly purchase just about anywhere in the world, we are confident they will only want to buy at Rivage. We are raising Bal Harbour’s already lofty pedigree and, in the process, establishing a new standard for condominium living.”

The neighbourhood of Bal Harbour has been an enclave for the elite since its establishment in 1929. Located between iconic South Beach and Sunny Isles, Bal Harbour has long been a snowbird favourite, offering easy access to the world-famous Bal Harbour Shops as well as the very best South Florida has to offer.
