Key Points

• 141,746 SF of new Class A waterfront condos proposed at 9291–9301 E Bay Harbor Dr

• 33 luxury units averaging over 3,000 SF, with rooftop pool and premium amenities

• Toronto-based Westdale Properties seeks first Miami multifamily play on a site bought for $11.25M

Toronto Developer Eyes High-End Slice of Bay Harbor Islands

A Canadian player is making its first move into Miami’s condo market—and it’s not holding back. Tomorrow, Bay Harbor Islands’ Development Review Committee will weigh a proposal from Westdale Properties to bring a new luxury waterfront condo project to life.

Here’s what’s on the table: an eight-story, 33-unit development with large-format condos, premium finishes, and high-end amenities.

Big, Bold Units on the Water

• The project totals 141,746 square feet across eight stories

• Condo units range from 1,570 to 4,420 square feet, averaging a spacious 3,085 square feet

• 33 condos include a mix of two- and four-bedroom layouts

• Planned amenities include a rooftop pool, two ground-level swim spas, and 69 parking spaces (roughly one per unit)

Developer: Westdale Properties’ First Miami Move

• The project is led by 9291 EBH Ltd, an affiliate of Westdale Properties, based in Toronto

• The firm paid $11.25 million in 2022 for the 33,750-square-foot site, which previously held a now-demolished residential building

• If approved, this would mark Westdale’s first multifamily development in South Florida

Architects: Kobi Karp x Gehry Partners

• The team includes Miami’s Kobi Karp Architecture and Frank Gehry’s Los Angeles-based firm

• Karp is also behind other major projects like a 575-foot tower in Overtown, showing deep roots in Miami’s design scene

Why It Matters

Bay Harbor Islands continues to attract developers targeting deep-pocketed buyers seeking space and luxury near the water. With oversized units, architectural pedigree, and a rare infill location, Westdale is aiming squarely at the top of the market.

As Miami-Dade continues to densify and land scarcity grows, expect more developers—especially international ones—to look for first-mover opportunities in boutique, high-margin condo plays. 📈
