Top 5 Reasons Keystone Islands, Miami has Arrived on Wall Street’s Radar
Posted on November 6, 2024
Positioned just north of Miami along Biscayne Bay, Keystone Islands has long been a coveted waterfront neighborhood filled with single-family homes. This enclave within Biscayne Bay is favored by billionaires and celebrities for its privacy and proximity to Miami’s top entertainment hubs. Recently, however, this high-demand market has surged even further. A new phase of growth, including the area’s first modern luxury condominium, is redefining the waterfront along Keystone Islands, drawing even greater interest. Here’s why.
1. Keystone Islands’ Billion-Dollar Boom
New investments are positioning Keystone Islands as Miami’s next dynamic destination. Central to this transformation is SoLé Mia, a highly anticipated 193-acre master-planned site along NE 151st Street. Anchoring the project is UHealth’s groundbreaking facility, soon to become South Florida’s only NCI-designated cancer center and a premier eye hospital in the U.S. The forthcoming Cagni Park North Athletic Complex will feature an aquatic center and multipurpose fields, while the Arch Creek North Trail Project will link Keystone Islands to Oleta River State Park via scenic trails and greenways. Together, these enhancements are shaping Keystone Islands into a premier locale for those seeking an active, upscale lifestyle in Miami.
2. Elite Neighbors in Indian Creek
Keystone Islands and its adjacent neighborhoods have already caught the attention of an impressive array of celebrities, industry titans, and renowned interior designers. Just next door lies Indian Creek, often dubbed the “Billionaire’s Bunker,” which ranks among the most exclusive neighborhoods in the world. This elite enclave serves as the prestigious residence for high-profile figures such as Tom Brady, Jeff Bezos, and Jared Kushner. These names, among others, recognize the allure and prestige of Keystone Islands and eagerly anticipate its next chapter.
3. Bal Harbour Combines Global Cuisine and High Fashion
One reason many high-profile names choose to call this area home is the abundance of world-class offerings nearby. To the east, Bal Harbour Shops stands as a premier fashion destination, attracting an impressive roster of renowned designers, including Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, and Bottega Veneta. Bal Harbour Shops are also home to acclaimed chefs redefining the culinary scene, from Makoto’s Edomae-style sushi to the Mediterranean-Italian delights of Carpaccio. Meanwhile, Bay Harbor Islands radiates charm with its palm-lined streets, featuring a delightful mix of mom-and-pop stores, independent boutiques, and locally owned shops. Aventura Mall, Sawgrass Mills Mall, and other shopping epicenters are also just a short drive away.
4. A Gateway to Miami’s Dynamic Scene
Keystone Islands’ prime location in North Miami facilitates seamless access to a wealth of entertainment options. The white sand beaches and turquoise waters of Haulover Beach Park and Bal Harbour are minutes away. For maritime enthusiasts, private marinas for vessels up to 250 feet and public boat ramps nearby provide a perfect launching point for boating, fishing, and diving adventures.
The nearby Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami showcases masterpieces from the world’s most celebrated visual artists. For those seeking outdoor adventures, Oleta River State Park offers miles of scenic hiking trails and picturesque waterfront leisure areas. Additionally, the allure of city life beckons with a rich tapestry of concerts, performing arts, festivals, and events in Fort Lauderdale, downtown Miami, Brickell, and Miami Beach, all conveniently accessible via major highways.
5. New Condominium Shapes Keystone Islands’ Future
With a discerning vision for the area’s dynamic future, developers Kolter Urban and BH Group have unveiled Solana Bay. These wraparound waterfront condominiums will overlook the island neighborhoods and Biscayne Bay, along the shores of Keystone Islands.
