About Bal Harbour:

Bal Harbour sets the standard for vacationing in style. The recently completed Regent Bal Harbour Hotel and soon to be completed St. Regis Hotel are the only two luxury vacation accommodations in the Village. The St. Regis Resort and Residences will be only the second hotel development built in the Village over the last 50 years. Luxury accommodations in Bal Harbour have been limited and the new Regent Hotel and soon to open St. Regis Hotel will add only an additional 343 hotel rooms. The 343 hotel rooms are actually a net reduction from the 645 rooms previously located in the Sheraton, which was demolished.

Forbes Magazine recently named Bal Harbour one of America's top second-home locations. Despite the country's softening housing market, spots like One Bal Harbour which have condos listed from $1 million to $11 million which were completed in 2005 sold within two years.

The Bal Harbour Beach Club parcel is offered at $225,000,000 and Bal Harbour Yacht Club Marina is offered for the first time at $60,000,000.
Participating Broker inquiries invited.Financing available.
