La Mare is a three-building collection on East Bay Harbor Drive — Regency, Signature, and Bay Collection — all designed by Kobi Karp Architecture with interiors by Debora Aguiar Arquitetos. The three buildings share the same design DNA but serve meaningfully different buyer profiles. Understanding the distinction between them is the starting point for evaluating any of the three.
The Regency Collection
The Regency Collection is the anchor building of the La Mare development. 33 residences across 8 stories, bayfront, with floor-to-ceiling glass on all exterior walls. The architecture is designed to reconnect residents to the natural environment — no solid walls facing the water, direct sea breezes flowing through each residence, abundant natural light from sunrise to sunset.
Floor plans run from 1,567 to over 4,200 sq ft across 2 to 4 bedrooms, with two penthouses each featuring private rooftop pools. Private key-locked elevators bring residents directly to their homes. Ceiling heights range from 9'2" to 10'2". Custom Poliform kitchens with Miele appliances including coffee system and wine fridge. Antonio Lupi fixtures throughout kitchens and bathrooms. Dual shower and deep soaking tub in primary bathrooms.
Building amenities include a bayfront shoreline with boat slips, 24-hour doorman, secured parking, private storage, state-of-the-art fitness center, spa with steam and sauna, and a landscaped rooftop pool deck with infinity pool, jacuzzi, outdoor bar and summer kitchen.
The Signature Collection
The Signature Collection is the boutique counterpart to Regency — 9 residences across 8 stories, east-facing over the water, with levels 5 through 8 offering one residence per floor. The building is oriented to allow sunlight to move through each home from sunrise to sunset along its southern axis, with airflow throughout.
Floor plans range from 2,100 to over 4,200 sq ft across 2 to 4 bedrooms. Semi-private and private elevators with key-lock system. Same finish specification as Regency — Poliform kitchens, Miele appliances, Antonio Lupi fixtures. Boat slips available. Rooftop pool deck with pool, jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen and bar lounge.
The buyer profile for Signature is distinct from Regency. Nine residences, one per floor on upper levels — buyers who own multiple properties and want privacy, water exposure, and a low-maintenance building. The Debora Aguiar interior language carries particular weight with international buyers from Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, and Spain.
The Bay Collection
The Bay Collection is the newest addition to the La Mare development. 9 residences across 9 stories, oriented to capture panoramic bay views from sunrise to sunset. The same glass-clad Kobi Karp architecture and Debora Aguiar interior palette — floor-to-ceiling glass exterior walls, large terraces functioning as outdoor rooms, natural light and direct sea breezes throughout.
Floor plans run from 2,897 to over 5,389 sq ft across 3 to 4 bedrooms — the largest residences of the three La Mare buildings. Private key-locked elevators. Custom Poliform kitchens with Miele appliances. Antonio Lupi fixtures. Dual shower and deep soaking tub in primary bathrooms. On-site doorman.
Building amenities include bayfront outdoor space with boat slips and lounge areas, access to fitness center and spa with steam and sauna, landscaped rooftop pool deck with infinity pool, jacuzzi, daybeds, outdoor kitchen and bar lounge.

How It Fits the Market
La Mare occupies the mid-to-upper segment of BHI bayfront new construction. Buyers choosing La Mare accept bay views over ocean views in exchange for waterway access, boat slips, building character, and price relative to oceanfront alternatives in Surfside or Bal Harbour.
The three-building structure raises a specific buyer question: which collection fits the brief? Regency for buyers who want scale and full amenity program. Signature for buyers who want maximum privacy at boutique scale. Bay Collection for buyers who want the largest floor plans in the La Mare development.
