In this independent review of Rivage in Bal Harbour, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the floor plans, views, pricing, and the surrounding neighborhood. We’ll also compare Rivage with other similar condominiums and share insights about the developer’s reputation. By the end of this article, you’ll have a clear understanding of what distinguishes this project, why it’s worth considering, and which floor plans stand out the most.
With over 15 years of experience in real estate and a track record of selling hundreds of new construction units, I have a keen eye for what makes a condominium truly special. Additionally, I’ve purchased a unit in this project, along with nine of my clients.
Floor Plans at Rivage Bal Harbour
Rivage features spacious floor plans with just three units per floor. Units range from 3,300 SqFt for the west-facing C line (which includes three bedrooms plus a den and office or gym) to 4,810 SqFt for the prime A-line, which faces northeast and offers four bedrooms plus a den/service quarter. The penthouses are impressively large, with some exceeding 10,000 SqFt.
Bal Harbour’s market for larger units is thriving, attracting families looking for beachfront living and exclusivity. Most of the available large units are in older buildings from the 70s and 80s, often requiring significant renovations.
Currently, the market leans more towards end-users rather than investors, making the combination of a single-family home and a condo particularly appealing. Rivage addresses this demand with expansive terraces, pantries, three or more bedrooms, separate living and family rooms, private elevator access, galleries, generous closet space, and 10-foot ceilings. Even the smallest units provide ample living space both indoors and outdoors, with large closets in every bedroom. The developer is committed to delivering an exceptionally finished product, perfectly tailored for the global families residing in Bal Harbour.

Privacy and Low Density
Rivage in Bal Harbour ensures high privacy and low density. With only 60 residences and three units per floor, it is classified as a low-density development. Many buyers are combining units, which could reduce the total to just 44 residences. Access is controlled via a gated entrance at street level, allowing only residents and their guests into the lobby. Each residence features a private elevator and an air-conditioned two-car garage. The units come fully finished with numerous customization options available. Furthermore, this condo is set on a 2.17-acre lot with 20,000 square feet of amenities, providing abundant lifestyle options for just over 44 residences.
The Bal Harbour Location
Bal Harbour is an exceptionally sought-after location known for its excellent walkability to shops and restaurants. Residents often gather for drinks or dinners at the renowned Bal Harbour shops. The beachfront condos here provide access to an oceanside boardwalk, where residents enjoy leisurely strolls and bike rides throughout the neighborhood.
Situated at 10245 Collins Ave, near the Haulover Inlet, the views from this area are particularly captivating. Residents appreciate the dynamic scenery, with panoramic views of the ocean and the opportunity to watch sailboats and yachts of all sizes navigate between the Intracoastal waters and the ocean.
This unique aspect of the location gives it an edge over typical oceanfront properties. Consequently, the northeast corner A-line unit is anticipated to be especially desirable, featuring the largest floor plan with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, two powder rooms, and a den/service quarter. This added benefit truly sets this location apart from the average oceanfront setting.
The Finishes
Units at Rivage come fully finished, complete with installed closets and blinds. Residents can choose between white oak or walnut for their closets. Each residence features 10-foot ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. The dining and entertainment areas are enhanced with elegant linear cove lighting. Additionally, the units include custom kitchens equipped with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, along with bathrooms and closets designed by Rottet Studio and supplied by Falma Italia. The primary bathrooms showcase natural stone flooring and walls, along with bespoke bathtubs, mirrors, and light fixtures. Each bedroom is outfitted with a fully finished wardrobe. Select residences even feature private pools and outdoor kitchens for added luxury.
