Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club offers 9 luxury waterfront condominiums and six private yacht slips on Miami’s exclusive Bay Harbor Islands.
In the rarified world of South Florida real estate, where exclusivity and waterfront access define the pinnacle of luxury living, a new development is making waves,quite literally. As Miami’s luxury property market continues to evolve, discerning buyers are increasingly seeking more than just square footage and premium finishes; they desire comprehensive lifestyle experiences that seamlessly blend privacy, amenities, and nautical opportunities.
Enter Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club, an eight-story boutique development that recently topped out on Bay Harbor Islands, bringing a new echelon of luxury to this coveted enclave. With nearly 90 percent of residences already claimed and only one unit remaining available, this waterfront sanctuary is rapidly becoming one of Miami’s most sought-after addresses.
A Maritime Oasis in Bay Harbor Islands
Nestled along the tranquil waterfront of Indian Creek Lake, this record-setting residential development represents a significant milestone for Bay Harbor Islands,an area that has quietly transformed into one of South Florida’s most desirable locations. The building’s recent topping out ceremony marked not just a construction achievement but also celebrated the project’s impressive sales pace in a competitive market.
“As we reach these significant sales and construction milestones, we celebrate the thoughtful planning, attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship that have brought Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club to life,” said Jonathan Landau, Founder and CEO of Landau Properties. “We’re proud to acknowledge our talented construction teams as we introduce this much-needed new residential experience to one of the most sought-after areas of Miami. We look forward to welcoming our first residents home at the end of this year as we progress towards sellout.”
What distinguishes this development from others in Miami’s luxury landscape is its unprecedented offering: just nine exclusive condominiums complemented by six private yacht slips,creating one of the only private yacht clubs in the area. This limited inventory creates an atmosphere of exclusivity that resonates with ultra-high-net-worth buyers seeking privacy and bespoke amenities.
Architectural Vision: Nautical Elegance Meets Modern Luxury
The architectural narrative of Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club pays homage to its maritime setting while establishing a contemporary landmark. Designed by acclaimed Miami-based architect Kobi Karp, the building’s aesthetic combines nautical-inspired elements with the area’s mid-century modern heritage.
“Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club celebrates the great tradition and alluring future of Bay Harbor Islands,” said Kobi Karp, Founder and Principal of Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design. “With its nautical-inspired lines and feminine curves, the building nods to the islands’ historic concentration of mid-century modern design and the yachts and sailboats surrounding the Indian Creek waterway, while offering an eye-catching new addition to the waterfront.”
Karp, whose restoration techniques have contributed to the renaissance of Miami Beach’s internationally recognized Art Deco District, brings decades of expertise in warm-weather climate design to this project. His firm’s international portfolio includes resort projects throughout the Caribbean, the Black Sea region, and the Middle East,experience that informs the sophisticated yet contextual approach to this waterfront residence.
Residences: Expansive Living with Unobstructed Views
Beyond its striking exterior, Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club offers exceptionally spacious half- and full-floor homes that range from three to five bedrooms, spanning up to an impressive 5,600 square feet. These expansive layouts reflect current market preferences for generous living spaces that can accommodate both entertaining and private family life.
Each residence, curated by Zarifi Design, features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame unobstructed views of the exclusive Indian Creek Island and Country Club. These panoramic vistas create a constant connection to the water, while best-in-class finishes elevate the interior experience to match the premium location.
With pricing beginning at $13 million for the remaining residence, these homes represent the pinnacle of Bay Harbor Islands real estate,a market that has seen consistent appreciation as buyers discover its unique combination of privacy, location, and waterfront access.
The Rising Profile of Bay Harbor Islands
The arrival of Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club marks a significant evolution for Bay Harbor Islands, transforming this once-quiet enclave into one of South Florida’s most desirable addresses. Situated between Miami Beach and Bal Harbour, this pair of islands offers a distinctive combination of accessibility and seclusion that increasingly appeals to luxury buyers.
“This marks a significant step forward for a project that is redefining luxury waterfront living in Bay Harbor Islands, an area that has become one of the most sought-after addresses in South Florida,” said Daniel de la Vega, president of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. “The incredible interest to date and strong sales pace is a testament to the demand for the expansive, quality residences that Landau Properties has envisioned.”
The development’s remarkable nearly 90 percent sold status, achieved well before completion, indicates not just the strength of Miami’s luxury market but also the specific appeal of this location and product. With closings expected to commence at the end of 2025, the remaining residence is positioned as an increasingly rare opportunity in this exclusive market segment.
The Yacht Club Advantage: Miami’s Maritime Lifestyle
Perhaps the most distinctive feature of Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club is its eponymous yacht club,a private marina with six slips directly accessible to residents. In a city where waterfront access is prized, but private docking is increasingly scarce, this amenity represents significant added value.
The development’s yacht club is complemented by dockmaster concierge services, allowing for seamless maritime experiences for residents and their guests. This integration of boating lifestyle with luxury residential living reflects a deeper understanding of what today’s affluent buyers seek: not just a home, but a comprehensive lifestyle solution.
Resort-Style Amenities: Private Wellness and Entertainment
Beyond its waterfront offerings, Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club provides a curated collection of resort-style amenities designed for wellness, entertainment, and relaxation. The comprehensive amenity package includes a world-class spa with treatment rooms and a state-of-the-art fitness center, addressing the growing emphasis on health and wellness among luxury buyers.
For outdoor recreation, residents have access to a dedicated yoga lawn and a landscaped rooftop terrace with a pool, dining area, outdoor kitchen, and screening pavilion. These thoughtfully designed spaces create opportunities for both private relaxation and sophisticated entertaining.
Indoor social spaces include a flexible entertainment lounge equipped with a high-fidelity sound system and bar,perfect for hosting intimate gatherings or larger social events. Practical luxury touches extend to the building’s services, with a full-time doorman, resident concierge, and 18 private parking spaces ensuring security and convenience.
This comprehensive suite of amenities reflects contemporary market demands for exclusive, self-contained residential experiences where privacy and service are prioritized equally.
The Developer: A Family Legacy of Excellence
The vision behind Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club comes from Landau Properties, a family-owned firm with a distinctive approach to luxury development. Founded in late 2022 by veteran real estate executive Jonathan Landau, along with his daughter and son-in-law, Yaeli Lowinger and DC Lowinger, the company brings multigenerational perspectives to its projects.
With active developments in both New York and South Florida, Landau Properties represents a boutique alternative to larger corporate developers,offering more personalized attention and design-focused execution. This family-led approach resonates particularly well with buyers seeking properties created with authentic vision rather than formulaic luxury.
Marketing and Sales: A Premium Approach
The exclusive sales and marketing of Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club is managed by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, the premier source for luxury real estate and development opportunities along Florida’s East Coast. With 30 offices spanning from Miami and Key Biscayne to Vero Beach and Jacksonville, the firm brings significant regional expertise to the project.
ONE Sotheby’s International Realty’s Development Division specializes in luxury pre-construction sales and marketing, providing strategic guidance throughout the development lifecycle,from pre-acquisition to sell-out. This comprehensive approach, combined with the Sotheby’s global network of more than 26,000 associates across 81 countries and territories, has contributed significantly to the project’s sales success.
The Future of Miami Luxury: Privacy, Quality, and Maritime Access
As Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club nears completion, it offers valuable insights into the evolving preferences of ultra-luxury buyers in the Miami market. The development’s emphasis on privacy, generous living spaces, and seamless access to water reflects a shift away from high-density luxury towers toward more intimate, exclusive communities.
With just nine residences, the project creates a sense of privacy and exclusivity that larger developments cannot match. This boutique scale, combined with half- and full-floor layouts, offers residents a sense of sanctuary rarely found in Miami’s luxury condominium market.
The integration of a private yacht club directly into the residential experience also addresses a specific desire among affluent buyers: convenient access to Miami’s waterways without the maintenance concerns of individual docks. This turnkey approach to maritime living represents a sophisticated evolution in waterfront development.
A Limited Opportunity
With only one residence remaining and closings expected to begin at the end of the year, Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club represents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a position in one of Miami’s most distinctive new luxury developments. For discerning buyers seeking the perfect combination of waterfront living, architectural distinction, and nautical lifestyle, this boutique development offers a compelling proposition in a prime location.
As Bay Harbor Islands continues its transformation into one of South Florida’s most coveted addresses, Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club stands as a testament to thoughtful development that responds authentically to the specific character and opportunities of its location,creating not just luxury homes, but a legacy address that will define waterfront living in Miami for years to come.
