Seaside luxury: Arquitectonica, Melo Group introduce Aria on the Bay condo tower in Miami

Melo Group has launched sales for Aria on the Bay, a 647-unit luxury condominium in Miami. The bayfront condo will overlook Margaret Pace Park, Biscayne Bay, and the Miami Beach skyline. Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2015, with completion slated for 2017, Architecture Lab reports.

Designed by Arquitectonica, the development is planned for the city's resurging Arts & Entertainment District. It will  offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos, in addition to two-story penthouses. Prices range from $300,000 to $4 million; pre-construction reservations are now under way.

“More than a decade after delivering our first Miami tower we’re proud to be building our firm’s largest and most luxurious condo development to date,” Carlos Melo, a principal with the Melo Group, told Architecture Lab. “With the momentum building in the Arts & Entertainment District, Aria on the Bay will offer residents the opportunity to enjoy a walkable, family-friendly neighborhood surrounded by world-class cultural attractions.”

Aria on the Bay will be Melo Group's 14th tower in the greater Miami area. 

Residents will enjoy private elevator access, floor-to-ceiling glass, spacious terraces, open-plan living areas, European-style kitchens, and custom cabinets. 

The 14th floor will house a resort amenity deck with two curved lap pools featuring sunrise and sunset views, a children's pool, a hot tub, and a lounge area with fire pits, grills, and outdoor summer kitchens. In addition, Aria on the Bay will have 40,000 sf of commercial space in the lower floors, including office, retail, and restaurant space at the ground level.
