Clara Homes: A Miami-based real estate development firm led by founder James Curnin. Known for ultra-luxury multifamily and single-family properties in South Florida and Los Angeles, Clara Homes is vertically integrated and focused on delivering high-end living environments. Current projects also include a 154-unit luxury rental community in Wynwood.
Financing: $53.6 million construction loan arranged by Walker & Dunlop for Phase 2 of the larger Bay Harbor development.
South Florida continues to display strong multifamily fundamentals. Despite a slight drop in occupancy from peak levels, stabilized properties still maintain above-average national rates, and asking rents have seen steady increases—especially in boutique, luxury segments like Bay Harbor Islands.
Bal Harbour Shops: An iconic open-air luxury mall with retailers including Gucci, Chanel, and Balenciaga.
Surfside Beach: A quiet beach enclave ideal for sunbathing and leisurely strolls.
Kane Concourse: A pedestrian-friendly corridor with fine dining, art installations, and boutique shops.
