PROFILEmiami [PM]: Tell us about AIRE Residences and give us a quick snapshot of the property.
Alexis Bogomolni [AB]: AIRE Residences is a true gem in Bay Harbor, offering a rare combination of exclusivity and privacy that’s becoming increasingly hard to find in Miami. With only seven luxury units, the building creates an intimate, serene environment perfect for those who value space and tranquility. Its prime location—just steps from Kane Concourse, Pura Vida, the Bal Harbour Shops, and directly across from The Well—adds incredible convenience, while the private marina dock enhances the waterfront lifestyle.
When we conceptualized AIRE, we saw a gap in the market for a building with a distinctly European sensibility—boutique, elegant, and private. Miami is known for large-scale resorts, but AIRE was designed to be the opposite: a sophisticated retreat that feels like a single-family estate but without the upkeep. The project has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response, and six of the seven units have already sold. The final available unit, La Maison Penthouse, is a masterpiece of design and luxury, offering 10,675 square feet of living space with a private elevator, six bedrooms with terraces, and the largest wraparound 360-degree terrace on the island.
PM: Why is Bay Harbor Islands such a desirable place to live?
AB: Bay Harbor Islands offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, making it one of South Florida’s most desirable neighborhoods. The tree-lined streets and small-town charm create a peaceful environment, yet it’s just minutes from Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, and Aventura. Residents love the walkability, with places like Kane Concourse, Pura Vida, The Well, and the Bal Harbour Shops just steps away. The waterfront location provides opportunities for boating and water sports, a signature of the South Florida lifestyle. Families are drawn to its top-rated schools, and individuals value privacy and luxury. It’s an upscale community that feels unspoiled, perfectly aligning with the boutique living offered by AIRE Residences.
PM: What lifestyle and amenities does AIRE Residences offer?
AB: AIRE Residences offers a lifestyle defined by thoughtful luxury and exclusivity. The Sky Garden is a standout feature, with a Chef’s Dining Terrace for al fresco entertaining, a state-of-the-art gym, and a lounge area—all with incredible views. The private marina provides convenience for residents, direct water access, perfect for boating or enjoying peaceful waterfront moments.
Even the details are exceptional, like the beautifully textured garage that feels like an extension of the elegant lobby. Residents also enjoy two pools by the marina for relaxation and exclusivity. With private elevators opening directly into each unit and expansive wraparound terraces offering 360-degree views, AIRE redefines boutique luxury living.
PM: How does the location of AIRE Residences contribute to its appeal as a waterfront luxury residence?
AB: AIRE Residences’ location is a key part of its appeal, combining serene privacy with unmatched convenience. Nestled in Bay Harbor Islands, it’s moments away from Miami Beach, Bal Harbour Shops, and Aventura, yet it retains a quiet, neighborhood charm. The private marina dock provides direct access to the bay for boating enthusiasts, while the walkability to Kane Concourse, The Well, and Pura Vida enhances everyday convenience. This central location offers tranquility alongside proximity to world-class amenities, creating an exceptional lifestyle.
PM: Can you discuss the added value of having a private marina at the building?
AB: The private marina at AIRE Residences is a tremendous value, offering residents direct access to the water—a defining feature of South Florida living. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the convenience of docking steps from home, while others can enjoy the serene waterfront ambiance it creates. Beyond the practical benefits, the marina adds to the exclusivity and prestige of the property, making AIRE more than a residence—it’s a lifestyle gateway.
PM: What inspired the design and concept of AIRE Residences, specifically La Maison Penthouse?
AB: The design of AIRE Residences, especially La Maison Penthouse, was inspired by the desire to merge the expansive feel of a single-family estate with the convenience of luxury condominium living. The result is a two-story penthouse with 6,922 square feet of indoor space and an additional 3,750 square feet of terraces, offering breathtaking panoramic views. It’s a unique blend of functionality and elegance that sets a new standard for boutique waterfront living.
PM: Can you tell us more about the unique features that set La Maison Penthouse apart from other luxury residences in Miami?
AB: La Maison is a rare find—a massive estate within a boutique building. Its open-concept design seamlessly connects the kitchen, lounge/bar, and living room, creating an expansive flow of space. What makes it truly unique is the wraparound terrace, the largest on the island, with a private pool, outdoor dining area, and living room. The views are breathtaking, offering a full perspective of the canal, Bay Harbor mansions, and even Billionaire Bunker to the left. It’s a home that redefines luxury living.
PM: What kind of views can residents expect to enjoy from the penthouse’s terraces and rooftop?
AB: La Maison’s wraparound terraces and private rooftop offer unparalleled 360-degree views. Residents can enjoy both sunrises and sunsets, making every day a visual masterpiece. From the two elevated jacuzzis, you can take in the entire island on one side and the serene canal, Bay Harbor mansions, and shimmering water on the other. It’s a panoramic experience that perfectly captures the beauty of Bay Harbor Islands.
PM: Can you discuss the great value of the $13.9 million listing price for this two-floor waterfront residence?
AB: The $13.9 million listing price for La Maison represents exceptional value for such a rare offering. Spanning 10,675 square feet of living space with six bedrooms, wraparound terraces, and the largest rooftop on the island, it’s a true estate in the sky. Features like two private elevators, a rooftop pool, and jacuzzis with 360-degree views add to its exclusivity. Additionally, the price per square foot is comparable to other units in the area, making it an outstanding opportunity for a property that offers unmatched privacy, space, and waterfront amenities.
PM: What commercial projects are under development nearby AIRE Residences that potential buyers should be excited about?
AB: Bay Harbor Islands is finally experiencing the boom it deserves, bringing exciting commercial developments to the area. THE WELL Bay Harbor Islands is a standout, with luxury residences, office spaces, and retail. La Baia Condominiums and Bay Harbor Towers are adding a new level of sophistication with private docks and state-of-the-art facilities. Being steps away from these projects and iconic landmarks like Bal Harbour Shops ensures that AIRE Residences is at the heart of a vibrant, evolving neighborhood.
PM: As a developer, what are some of the signatures you’ve learned to include to add value for future buyers?
AB: As a developer, I’ve learned the importance of privacy and exclusivity, which is why boutique buildings like AIRE offer features like private elevators and limited units. Indoor-outdoor living is another key element, with expansive terraces and amenities like rooftop pools enhancing the lifestyle. Waterfront access, such as private marina docks, is another must-have in South Florida. Finally, timeless design and functionality ensure the property remains appealing and valuable long-term. Each of these details elevates the living experience and creates lasting value for buyers.
