400 Sunny Isles, a new waterfront development on NE 163rd Street, just west of Collins Avenue — a residence that will float a buyer’s boat, literally. On offer are 230 two- and three-bedroom homes in two 20-story glass towers designed by Chad Oppenheim as architect of record, with the Urbanica Group handling interior design. Buyers also have the option to purchase a dry or wet dock marina slip that will accommodate a boat of up to 100 feet. For Developer Iñigo Ardid of Key International, it’s a move north from the Miami River (where’s he’s developing Ivy and Mint) to the upper reaches of Biscayne Bay and 640 feet of waterfront. The 400 Sunny Isles project has been designed with amenities that cater to an active waterfront lifestyle at the luxury level. It includes a fully equipped and serviced private marina, complete with a special marine concierge program that regularly cares for the vessels, as well as fully prepares them for excursions and docks them upon return. Fractional yacht ownership also will be offered, for those residents who want an easy way to go to sea only part of the time. Playing up the resort atmosphere (five-star of course!) will be an on-site watersports activity center set to rent small boats, catamarans, kayaks, kite- and wind-surfing equipment, fishing gear, jet skis and more. As for getting to the beach, anyone who doesn’t care to stroll across the road can hitch a ride on one of the two “Beach Bugs,” 400 Sunny Isle’s private GEMCARs. These eco-friendly luxury golf carts will offer chauffeured service to and from the beach. Residents who prefer nature at its unspoiled best can hike or bike a few hundred yards to Oleta River State Park’s 1,032-acres, a haven for mountain biking, trail hiking, swimming, fishing and kayaking. Back at 400 Sunny Isles, plans for “The Sandbox,” yacht and beach club bistro include a bayfront beach, sand floor, sunset pool, cozy cabanas and sand volleyball court. All the other expected amenities — including two pools, a pair of tennis courts, a fitness center and a pool deck with an Olympic-size infinity-edge pool that stretches from one tower to another in a flowing “T” shape with four submerged aqua beds — will be part of the scenery. The spa will follow the latest trend and be co-ed. (Gender-separate facilities will also be available.) Inside the lobbies of each tower there’s an underground zen garden of sand, stone and crystal-clear water beneath a five-foot-high elevated glass floor. Each residence will feature complete kitchens and bathrooms with European stainless steel appliances. In addition, each will be equipped with smart technology: a touch-screen computer panel from which residents can access the valet, marina, concierge and security. Its innovative architectural design gives 400 Sunny Isles a varied mix of lofts, townhouses and flats, ranging from 1,423 square feet to 2,300 square feet, among the floors. Prices go from the $600,000s to more than $1.7 million.
