Unit 203 at Onda Residences — a unique 2,333 SF garden residence in one of Bay Harbor Islands' most coveted new developments. The floor plan features three large bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, plus den across a wide-open living area that reads more like a home than a condominium. Impact-resistant glass throughout. The garden positioning gives this unit something rare in a waterfront condominium: the feel of a home — direct ground-level connection, natural light from multiple exposures, lush tropical landscaping framing every window, and a sense of privacy that upper-floor units do not offer. Steps from the building's fitness center and spa without taking an elevator. Fully accessorized Snaidero kitchen with Miele appliances. Italian marble bathrooms with wood cabinetry. Italian porcelain flooring throughout. Onda is a premier 41-unit building with rooftop pool and summer kitchen, private marina with 15 slips and direct ocean access via Haulover Inlet, gym and spa, 24-hour valet and security, and landscape by Enzo Enea. This is the best value per square foot in the building — with a floor plan and garden setting that few residences here can match. Available for occupancy August 1, 2026. Steps from Bal Harbour Shops and the beach. No showings on Saturdays.
