Oceana Bal Harbour: 5.5 Acres, 400 Feet of Beach, 240 Homes

Oceana Bal Harbour is a 28-story, 240-residence oceanfront property at 10201 Collins Avenue, completed in 2017 on the former Bal Harbour Beach Club site. Our directory records 5.5 acres with 400 feet of private beach, architecture by Arquitectonica, interiors by Piero Lissoni, and a research estimate near $1,650 per square foot as of August 10, 2026.

The land is the product

Most oceanfront Miami towers are a building on a lot. Oceana is closer to a compound: our record describes 5.5 acres and 400 feet of private beach carrying 240 residences, with two pools, tennis, a restaurant and full beach service inside the gates.

Run the arithmetic on our own figures and the shape becomes concrete. Four hundred feet of frontage across 240 homes is roughly 1.7 linear feet of beach per residence. Two hundred forty homes across 28 stories is roughly nine per floor. Neither number is a marketing claim — both are simple division on the figures in our building record, and either one can be recomputed from /buildings/oceana-bal-harbour.

Why bother? Because acreage is the one thing a competing developer cannot add later. Amenity programs get renovated and service standards rise and fall with management, but the ratio of private sand and open ground to front doors is fixed when the site is assembled — and in Bal Harbour, where our research counts an estimated 14 condo buildings along a very short stretch of coast, sites of this size are not being assembled again.

What our record actually documents

The verifiable outline is short and worth separating from the marketing language. The building was completed in 2017 and rises 28 stories with 240 residences. Arquitectonica is credited as architect, Consultatio as developer and Piero Lissoni as interior designer. Layouts run from two to five bedrooms.

The 2017 completion date matters for diligence in a specific way. It places the building among the newer oceanfront stock in our Miami set, which generally means a longer runway before major envelope and facade work — but it does not exempt anything from Florida's post-Surfside regime of milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies, and it does not tell you how well the association has funded reserves so far. That framework is explained at /blog/miami-condo-milestone-inspection-sirs, and it is the first document request on any Miami oceanfront purchase regardless of vintage.

Art that is part of the building, not the decor

Our record describes public spaces showcasing monumental Jeff Koons sculptures. In a category where the phrase "curated art program" usually means the developer bought some canvases for the lobby, sculpture at that scale is a different kind of commitment: it is effectively part of the common elements, with the insurance, conservation and liability questions that follow.

That is not a warning, just a line item most buyers never think to ask about. If significant artwork is association property, ask how it is insured, who pays for conservation, and whether a board vote can sell or relocate it. The answers live in the declaration and the association's insurance schedule, alongside the master-policy questions at /blog/miami-condo-insurance-master-policy-vs-ho6.

Prices and dues, labeled for what they are

Our research records a range from roughly $2.5 million to $30 million at Oceana, with an average near $1,650 per square foot and HOA dues of approximately $2.00 per square foot per month. Every one of those is our directory's periodic estimate, not a live comparable sale and not a current association budget.

That matters more in Miami than it would elsewhere on this site, because we do not operate an MLS feed in this market. Listing figures on our Miami pages are clearly labeled samples rather than live inventory, and our compiled Miami research is summarized at /market-stats. A current price for a specific residence has to come from a licensed agent pulling live data.

Read the range for its shape rather than its endpoints. A twelve-fold spread from bottom to top inside 240 doors says floor, line and exposure decide almost everything here, and that a building-wide average per foot will mislead you in both directions. Dues near $2.00 per foot are at the upper end of what we record across Miami, which is what a private-beach, full-service, low-density property costs to run — the honest way to compare it is against what the dues buy, using the method at /blog/reading-a-miami-condo-budget-where-dues-go.

How it reads against its Bal Harbour neighbors

Our neighborhood research puts Bal Harbour's median condo price near $2.25 million and roughly $1,480 per square foot across an estimated 14 buildings, with the area guide at /neighborhoods/bal-harbour. Against that, Oceana's research average of about $1,650 per foot sits above the village midpoint without being its ceiling.

The two closest comparisons in our directory make the trade legible. /buildings/st-regis-bal-harbour is 268 residences completed in 2012 across three oceanfront towers, with butler service, at a research average near $1,600 per foot and dues near $2.10 — more homes, more service infrastructure, five years older. /buildings/rivage-bal-harbour is the opposite extreme: a single 24-story tower of just 56 residences on 200 feet of beachfront, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and completing in 2027, at a research estimate near $2,300 per foot.

Put the frontage arithmetic side by side and the pricing has a logic to it. Rivage's 200 feet across 56 homes is roughly 3.6 linear feet of beach per residence, against Oceana's 1.7 and a far higher per-foot estimate. That is one reading of two of our own estimates, not a valuation method — but scarcity per door is a real variable in this village, and it is the one buyers most often price by instinct without naming. The broader area context is at /blog/bal-harbour-condo-guide.

What we would verify before an offer

Five things, in order. Pull the association's current adopted budget and reserve study and check the reserve position against a 2017 oceanfront building's realistic envelope schedule. Confirm milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study status. Ask how the artwork and the beach operation are insured and who carries the conservation and staffing cost. Get the rules on leasing minimums and on guest access to the beach and pools, which vary more between Bal Harbour buildings than buyers expect. And confirm what the 5.5-acre site's shared grounds cost to maintain, because grounds of that size are a permanent operating line, not a one-time capital charm.

We are a research directory, not a brokerage. We do not list on the MLS, negotiate offers or close transactions; when you are ready to act on a specific residence, we introduce you to a licensed partner agent who can pull live data and order the documents above.

Questions buyers ask about Oceana Bal Harbour

How many units are at Oceana Bal Harbour?

Our directory records 240 residences across 28 stories, in layouts from two to five bedrooms. On a site our record describes as 5.5 acres with 400 feet of private beach, that works out to roughly nine homes per floor and about 1.7 linear feet of beach frontage per residence — low density by Miami oceanfront standards.

When was Oceana Bal Harbour built and who designed it?

The building was completed in 2017 on the former Bal Harbour Beach Club site. Arquitectonica is credited as architect, Consultatio as developer and Piero Lissoni as interior designer. A 2017 completion places it among the newer oceanfront stock in our Miami set, though Florida's milestone inspection and reserve-study requirements apply regardless of vintage.

What are HOA dues at Oceana Bal Harbour?

Our directory records approximately $2.00 per square foot per month as a research estimate, which is at the upper end of what we record across Miami. Private beach service, two pools, tennis and 5.5 acres of maintained grounds across only 240 homes is an expensive operating base, so verify the current adopted budget rather than relying on any published figure, ours included.

How does Oceana compare with the St. Regis Bal Harbour?

Our records put the St. Regis Bal Harbour at 268 residences across three towers completed in 2012, with butler service, at a research average near $1,600 per square foot and dues near $2.10. Oceana is 240 residences from 2017 at roughly $1,650 per foot. The practical difference is service model and site, not price tier.

Can I see live prices for Oceana on this site?

Not in Miami. We do not currently operate an MLS feed for this market, so listing figures on our Miami pages are clearly labeled samples rather than live inventory, and our price research is a periodic estimate as of August 10, 2026. For a current price on a specific residence, we introduce you to a licensed partner agent.
