Neighborhood Highlight: Miami Design District

Miami’s Design District is a mecca for fine art, high-end design, and storefronts of some of the greatest names in fashion, all just minutes from the Midtown Miami Edgewater condos at Missoni Baia. An afternoon spent here is more than just a shopping trip, it’s a creative experience — one that includes some of the best restaurants in Miami, so you can pair your day of visual discovery with some gastronomic adventures. 

In a neighborhood filled with architectural marvels and outdoor as well as indoor installations, it’s only natural that there is a Public Art Tour that helps you discover the area as something greater than the sum of its parts — the neighborhood is a work of art in itself. On the tour, you’ll get up close and personal with outdoor works like Buckminster Fuller’s “Fly’s Eye Dome,” Virgil Abloh’s “Dollar a Gallon III,” and John Baldessari’s pair of giant wall murals, “Fun (Part 1)” and “Fun (Part 2).” 

A few of the stores, such as Dr. Barbara Sturm, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, and Ganni, not only sell products but also take you on a tour of discovery. Each of these thoughtfully designed shops introduces you to visionaries in their fields in an environment made for browsing and relaxing. Sturm is world renowned for the way her skin products and beloved facials combine beauty ideals with innovative science. Kurkdjian’s shop is a place where you can buy perfume and rediscover it, too. You’ll find scent blends created with the subtlety and originality of a poet. At Ganni, Scandinavian design is given a playful twist by husband and wife team Ditte and Nicolaj Reffstrup. Round out your summer wardrobe with the latest from Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, and Celine. Fill your Edgewater Miami condo at Missoni Baia with design masterpieces from B&B Italia, Janus et Ci, and the Luxury Living Showroom, which features Fendi Casa, Bugatti Home, Baccarat La Maison, and the Ritz Paris Home Collection. 

After shopping and taking in the art, treat yourself to dinner at one of the three Design District restaurants that have been awarded Michelin stars: Cote, Le Jardinier, and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, the only restaurant in Florida to receive two of the coveted stars. At the 34-seat dining counter overlooking an open kitchen, guests at L’Atelier will have a glimpse of the cooking process while feasting on poached black bass with mussel and vanilla broth, and squab with foie gras and mashed potatoes. You’ll want to come back to taste everything at this award-winning restaurant, where the visual pleasure of your surroundings, like the streets and shops of the district itself, emphasizes the fact that here you are experiencing the best of the best in design and luxury living. Contact the sales team at Missoni Baia today to learn more about the surrounding area and all the excitement it has to offer!

Amenity Spotlight: Pools At Missoni Baia

Summer is fast approaching. That means schools are out, the sun’s out, too, and the mercury is rising, just as you’re preparing to kick back and enjoy well-earned vacation days—and nights. Of course, in Miami, glorious weather and sunshine are year-round blessings, as are relaxing vibes from its all-encompassing natural beauty—this on top of the habitual beauty of the city’s art-deco architecture, its thriving art scene, and its welcoming, sun-soaked denizens. But summer is still a cause for celebration at Missoni Baia’s Edgewater Miami condos. Whether you’re basking in the sun poolside or staying fit with laps, Missoni Baia’s collection of pools for recreation and fitness pursuits set the ultraluxe and extra relaxing scene for the best season of the year. 

Missoni Baia’s amenities on the fifth through seventh floors include a bayfront lounge. Its picture-perfect cantilevered pool overlooks Downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay and creates the illusion of endless, pristine blue from the sky above, the bay beyond, and the shimmering pool at your toes. Cross an outdoor bridge to the sixth-floor indoor amenities suite, which features the flow-through pool deck with cabanas that allows you to move between pools in comfort. The Olympic-sized lap pool is perfect for the serious swimmer to butterfly and glide through their swimming lane, as well as the novice swimmer looking to start a low-impact fitness routine that goes easy on joints—and everyone in between. After a long swim or workout or simply to decompress for the day, plunge pools, including a whirlpool spa, are available, as are water features made to keep children entertained during summer vacation days. 

Of course, sometimes the best feature of a pool isn’t the crisp water but the adjacent poolside lounging. Missoni Baia residents have at their disposal two poolside residents-only lounges, poolside daybeds for serious relaxation or napping, an indoor bay terrace lounge with towering ceilings, and a wraparound outdoor deck with dedicated areas for lounging and seating for groups. After a day of swimming and lounging, residents can head to the seventh-floor men’s and women’s locker rooms, with exclusive residents-only men’s and women’s sauna and steam rooms, for another moment of relaxation. 

With steam, whirlpools, a sauna, a lounge, and Olympic pools among its aquatic offerings, Missoni Baia has a wealth of amenities to stay cool, stay fit, relax, and enjoy the summer. To learn more, contact a dedicated agent at Missoni Baia today!

Art on the Waterfront: Missoni Baia and PAMM

The new collection of Italian-inspired Edgewater, Miami, condos at Missoni Baia is just the latest in a long line of artful buildings popping up on the waterfront. Today, we’re highlighting another of these waterfront wonders, the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), which can be found just south of the shining Missoni Baia tower. Keep reading to learn about the museum’s history as well as what you can see there this summer! 

The grand Pérez Art Museum Miami had humble beginnings. Founded in 1983 as a spartan exhibition hall for traveling shows, the museum, then simply called “the Center for the Fine Arts,” was constrained by its lack of space for a permanent collection. Its successor, the Miami Art Museum, was founded in 1996 in an effort to create a robust contemporary and modern art museum, but it took until the 2010s for the institution to find its final location on the Biscayne Bay waterfront. 

The Pérez Art Museum Miami got its new name in 2013 along with a brand-new building from renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron, whose design incorporated a grand staircase leading to the water, a series of wraparound terraces, and the building’s defining feature, a living roof by French botanist Patrick Blanc that features more than 80 kinds of subtropical plants. The three-story building has ample room for exhibits, large and small, including high galleries that can accommodate massive installations. The new museum created a central cultural space to which all art-loving Miamians can flock to experience an exultant permanent collection as well as a constantly rotating set of exhibitions. 

This summer, Miamians have the opportunity to see a couple of unique installations at the museum. The fascinating Marisol and Warhol Take New York exhibit seeks to reclaim the French-Venezuelan artist’s place in the New York City pop art scene of the 1960s by “situating her work in dialogue with Warhol’s,” demonstrating how she influenced and was influenced by her more well-known contemporaries. Fans of the grand works of Cristo and Jeanne-Claude will love the intimate exhibit Cristo Drawings, where visitors can trace the development of these breathtaking works that “wrap around” the natural world from their earliest phase of conception. 

Of course, visitors should check out the halls housing PAMM’s permanent collection as well. Whether you’re intrigued by a specific exhibit or just want to explore one of Miami’s most diverse collections of contemporary and modern art, you won’t regret spending a day at

PAMM. And if you’re also intrigued by the idea of spending future days and nights in the artistic splendor of Missoni Baia itself, contact our team today.

Edgewater’s Best-Kept Secret: Margaret Pace Park

One of the primary reasons to move to East Edgewater is the neighborhood’s eponymous waterfront location. From panoramic views and cool sea breezes to easy access to boat launches and seaside walkways, East Edgewater is a water lover’s dream neighborhood come to life. Residents of the forthcoming Edgewater condos at Missoni Baia will wake up each day in their own private waterfront home, complete with a deep-set terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows that make the most of this prime location. Additionally, just a mile south of the tower, residents will find one of the Miami waterfront’s best-kept secrets, waiting to be explored. 

Margaret Pace Park features eight acres of green space and recreational attractions right on the shore of Biscayne Bay. The urban park was created in the late 1960s thanks to the efforts of Margaret Pace, a Miami preservationist known for her work as chairwoman of Royal Palm State Park (which later became part of the Everglades National Park) and as a founder and president of the Miami Garden Club. The park is located next to a cross-section of Miami architectural history, with the massive Omni development and the Miami Women’s Club, where Margaret Pace once served as vice president. 

The park is home to a host of recreational areas, including much-loved tennis and basketball courts, a playground, and picnic tables. Lawns and benches make great areas to settle in and enjoy the waterfront view of the Venetian Islands and Miami Beach across the bay. (It’s not a bad place to people-watch either!) Whether they prefer to soak up some sun rays behind a good book or toss a frisbee for all to see, Miamians love flocking to Margaret Pace Park whenever the sun is shining. 

When hunger strikes, park visitors can grab a bite at the nearby Daily Creative sandwich shop. Whether they’re in the mood for a hearty Cuban Scramble, a few slices of sweet Challah French Toast, or a fusion-style egg wrap, the Daily Creative is sure to have something on its menu for every hungry Miamian. 

And the residents of Missoni Baia’s Midtown Miami condos can be back in the comfort of their own Edgewater home just minutes after finishing their workout or picnic in Margaret Pace Park. As the sun sets, they can relax in the building’s massive private spa, unwind in one of its many pools or hot tubs, or mix up a cocktail and take in the fading light from their private terrace. Please contact our team to learn about the waterfront lifestyle you can have at Missoni Bai. When you live here, all of Miami becomes your playground.

For a more formal sit-down meal, residents should head to Watr at the Rooftop on Miami Beach, the Peruvian-inspired Japanese restaurant concept at 1 South Beach. Here, guests enjoy an exclusive menu of lunch and dinner cuisine as well as a late-night bar and lounge scene, all lubricated by exotic cocktails that integrate unique ingredients like tequila infused with al pastor-grilled pineapples and bourbon flavored by white miso syrup. All the while, visitors enjoy Atlantic Ocean views and balmy breezes from the bar’s deck of rich reclaimed wood, thanks to the hotel’s oceanside location on Miami Beach.

Just a little inland from Missoni Baia, residents can step into a portal and emerge on the Mediterranean island of Mykonos via Astra. This Greek-inspired lounge combines Greek cuisine and Miami style to create a one-stop destination for everything Mediterranean, including bone-rattling bass from the rotating cast of international DJs occupying the booth. Whether they’re enjoying oysters and cocktails during Bottomless Brunch, chowing down on a fresh branzino for dinner, or just dancing the night away against the backdrop of the hip Wynwood neighborhood, visitors are unlikely to forget their visit to Astra.

Of course, Missoni Baia residents don’t have to leave the comfort of their own homes to enjoy panoramic waterfront views. Each residence at Missoni Baia includes a deep-set terrace with views of the city and water, and there’s no cover charge to enjoy a sunrise or sunset. Contact our sales team to learn more!
