See the High-Profile Residents Choosing This Emerging Miami Enclave
Posted on August 20, 2024
Miami’s latest hotspot is turning heads throughout South Florida as the world’s “who’s who” are moving in. Celebrities, billionaires, and worldly icons have found the nearby neighborhoods of Indian Creek, Bay Harbor Islands and Bal Harbour, quickly turning these coveted sanctuaries into highly sought-after addresses. With privacy as the greatest luxury of all, these tranquil Miami locales offer a naturally beautiful waterfront lifestyle, surrounded by the dynamic energy of the nation’s epicenters of arts, entertainment, and sports.
These recent sales have led to a scarcity of luxury single-family home properties throughout the area, yet a preferred lifestyle option is now available. Solana Bay, a haute boutique condominium, was recently introduced by BH Group and Kolter Urban. These wraparound waterfront condominiums will overlook the island neighborhoods and Biscayne Bay, embracing the shoreline at the gateway to Bal Harbor. Let’s get to know the area’s most notable residents.
Indian Creek – The Elite Billionaire Retreat
Commonly referred to as “Billionaire’s Bunker,” Indian Creek stands as one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the world. This 300-acre man-made barrier island in Miami is known for its opulent estates, a private country club with its own golf course, and a roster of ultra-wealthy residents. In August 2023, Jeff Bezos, the former CEO of Amazon, made headlines by purchasing a $68 million home on the island, only to acquire the neighboring property for $79 million shortly after. His neighbors include Norman Braman, a car dealership mogul and former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, and property magnate Jeff Soffer. Additionally, former first daughter Ivanka Trump is in the process of building her own residence on the island.
Bay Harbor Islands – A Hub for High-End Ventures
The nearby Bay Harbor Islands have also emerged as a premier destination for new enterprises. While former NFL player Tom Brady has been a notable resident of Indian Creek since 2020, he’s now expanding his influence to the Bay Harbor Islands. In August 2024, Brady announced that TEB Capital Management, his family office, will be leasing 8,415 square feet of space in a Bay Harbor office building. This mixed-use development, set for completion by summer 2025, will reflect Brady’s dedication to health and wellness, further cementing Bay Harbor’s status as a prime location for the ultra-wealthy. As high-profile figures like Brady make their mark, Bay Harbor remains a magnet for those seeking the pinnacle of luxurious living.
Miami – Where Global Trendsetters Gather
Beyond Miami’s stunning beaches and extensive waterways, the region boasts a distinctive sense of elegance that resonates on a global scale. Bal Harbour Shops is at the heart of South Florida’s most prominent fashion, cuisine, and entertainment. This distinguished address is home to a constellation of high-fashion icons, including Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, and Fendi, alongside flagship luxury resorts like St. Regis and The Ritz-Carlton. To the south, South Beach offers a vibrant entertainment scene, while Lincoln Road’s Art Deco splendor presents a curated selection of upscale boutiques and globally renowned dining establishments. For the avid sports enthusiast, Miami offers a year-round playground of motorsports, offshore adventures, and elite professional sports venues. Even travel to and from the area is effortless via Miami International or Opa Locka Executive airports.
