The village, the site, the approval, the planned towers and the numbers behind The Ritz-Carlton Residences, North Bay Village, compiled by the desk at Miami Dossier from the public record, with the pre-launch status stated as a fact alongside the others.
Written by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public construction record, for readers who want the facts of the building rather than the adjectives. Figures are given in ranges where sources differ. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese. All notes from the desk.
This is the reference note. It is the project described plainly, as approved, with the figures we can attribute to the public record, given in ranges where sources differ, and with the sales status stated as a fact alongside the others. Because sales have not launched, the residence-level detail that would normally fill this note does not yet exist. The desk at Miami Dossier keeps it current. A companion note on the practical questions is linked at the end.
North Bay Village is a city of three islands, Harbor Island, North Bay Island and Treasure Island, in Biscayne Bay along the 79th Street Causeway, between Miami Beach to the east and the mainland at Little River and Upper Eastside to the west. It has bay frontage on every side, a few minutes to either shore, and for decades was a low-rise mid-century enclave. It is now approving towers of 30 to 43 storeys across roughly half a square mile.
More than four acres at the northern tip of Harbor Island, at 8000 and 7946 East Drive, assembled from the Biscayne Sea Club co-operative, built 1955 on roughly three acres and reported bought for roughly 47.7 million dollars in late 2023, and units at the Majestic Isle condominium, which had been declared unsafe, reported acquired in 2024. The Majestic Isle condominium association was terminated, the legal step required before demolition.
The village commission approved the two-tower plan through a special area plan at meetings in July and September 2025, with zoning permitting two towers of roughly 500 feet. Reporting in late 2025 described a Ritz-Carlton branding agreement being finalised between the developers and the brand.
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.
Two towers of 43 storeys, roughly 500 feet, designed by Arquitectonica, with roughly 364 residences in total and roughly 800 parking spaces. A waterfront public park of roughly 9,000 square feet and a private marina of roughly 42 slips are in the approved plan, along with reported infrastructure contributions to the village.
Approved and in pre-construction. Sales had not publicly launched as of summer 2026, which means the unit mix, floor plans, square footages, deposit schedule and assessment estimates are not yet established. No construction start or delivery date had been published. Figures circulating online as pricing are speculation until the developer publishes.

A marina of roughly 42 slips. A public park of roughly 9,000 square feet. Approved 2025. Not yet selling as of summer 2026. Figures are from the public record and are approximate; nothing here is a substitute for the developer's offering documents when they are published.
This note is compiled from the developer's published material for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, North Bay Village, the public construction record and the reporting around it, cross-referenced so that no figure rests on a single source. Where sources differ the note gives a range rather than a number. The desk at Miami Dossier obtains the current floor plans, release and deposit schedule directly on request and reads them with buyers; anything material should be confirmed against the developer's own documents. We do not represent the developer and we hold no position in the building.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about The Ritz-Carlton 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 The Ritz-Carlton 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.
