Pagani Residences is a waterfront tower of roughly 70 all-corner residences at 7940 West Drive on Harbor Island, North Bay Village, developed by Riviera Horizons with Horacio Pagani and Pagani Arte, with a private marina and a rooftop pool. It is the first residential building anywhere carrying the Pagani name, and construction began in May 2026. Here is what the buyers who choose it are choosing.
Written by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public construction record, cross-referenced across several sources, with anything unconfirmed flagged. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese and does not represent the developer. All notes from the desk.
The desk at Miami Dossier covers a small number of Miami buildings closely rather than the whole market lightly. Pagani Residences is one the desk is asked about every week, usually by buyers who already know the cars, and this note is compiled from the developer's published material and the public record rather than from a brochure summary. It is the list of reasons buyers give when they choose this building, in the order we hear them, with the facts behind each one.
Pagani Automobili builds a few dozen cars a year by hand. It has put its name on exactly one residential project, this one, through its Pagani Arte division, with Horacio Pagani involved in the design. Aston Martin, Bentley and Porsche came to Miami before it; none of them is a house of this scale of production. The desk at Miami Dossier reads that scarcity as the first reason.
The automotive towers that came before sold technology: car elevators, in-residence garages. Pagani sells the opposite, the atelier habit of hand-built detail translated into materials and finish. A buyer should decide which of those two propositions they actually want, because they are not the same building.
Every residence is a corner home with two walls of glass, at four per floor. There is no interior line and no dark plan in the building, which at this count is a design decision rather than a marketing one.
Your situation is specific. Tell the desk in one message and we will say what applies to you, what does not, and who to speak with.
Published plans run from roughly 2,000 to more than 3,300 square feet in two to four bedrooms, with ceilings of roughly 11 feet, private elevator access, Italian kitchens, wrap-around terraces and outdoor kitchens. Penthouses are published far larger, with ceilings reported at roughly 13 feet.
Harbor Island sits in the middle of Biscayne Bay. The tower looks east to Miami Beach and the Atlantic beyond it, west to the mainland skyline, and north and south down open water. Views of this kind on the barrier islands cost considerably more land.
Published plans include a private marina, a waterfront boardwalk of roughly 240 feet, and yacht club and beach club access. In a building of roughly 70 homes a marina is used rather than advertised.
A rooftop pool with views in every direction, and a wellness level published on the 29th floor rather than in the podium, which puts the gym and spa in the best air in the building.
The published programme includes an automotive concierge run with Prestige Imports, the Pagani dealer in Miami. Whether that matters is a question of taste; for the buyer this building is aimed at, it is part of the reason.
The developers held a groundbreaking on 15 May 2026 and construction is under way, with delivery guided across published sources for 2027 to 2028. A building that has started is a different proposition from one that has not.
Riviera Horizons, led by Mikael Hamaoui, is the developer, with Pagani Arte on the interiors and Fortune International Group's Edgardo Defortuna present at the groundbreaking as sales partner. The desk at Miami Dossier holds the delivery record of the parties and shares it on request.
The current floor plans by line, the current release and the deposit schedule, obtained directly from the sales team on request, together with our own floor plan analysis and an honest comparison against Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles and against the rest of the North Bay Village pipeline. None of it is published here because it changes. Ask for it and it arrives from the desk at Miami Dossier the same day, usually by WhatsApp, with our opinion attached, whether that opinion is Pagani or another building.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about Pagani Residences North Bay Village are not only choosing a building. They are moving to Miami from New York, California, London, Bogotá, Mexico City or São Paulo, or adding a Miami position to a portfolio held elsewhere, and the building question sits inside a larger one: how to buy new construction in Miami, how to hold it, and what changes when you do.
The desk keeps short notes on the parts that come up every week: how buying preconstruction in Miami actually works, what a normal deposit schedule looks like, whether you need to be in Miami to buy, whether a foreign buyer can get a mortgage, what taxes a foreign buyer pays on a Miami condo, and the Florida state income tax question for anyone relocating from a high-tax state. For buyers arriving from a specific market there are notes for Bogotá, Mexico City and London, and a broader one on why so many wealthy families are moving to Miami.
Read the ones that apply, then bring the rest to the desk at Miami Dossier. It usually takes one conversation to see how Pagani Residences North Bay Village fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.
This note is general information for people considering Miami, written by a real estate desk, not by a law or accounting firm. Nothing here is legal, tax, immigration or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own circumstances. Rules change, treaties differ by country, and the right answer for one family is the wrong answer for another.
Speak with your own attorney and CPA before you commit to anything. If you do not have one who works with international buyers in Florida, the desk is glad to recommend an attorney, a CPA or an adviser suited to your situation, and to sit in the first conversation so that nothing is lost in translation.
Structure, financing, currency, timing, the right building and the right line: the desk works through these questions with international buyers every week, and the answer is nearly always that it can be done, in order, without surprises. If Miami is on your mind, as a home or as an allocation, we would be glad to share what we are seeing, privately, and to start with the question this note did not answer.
