In a sunshine stretch of North Bay Road, where palm trees shake and biscayne Bay Glimmers, a real estate revolution has been unveiled since the pandemia turned Miami Beach into a magnet for rich ultras.
This narrow road, long lined with a port for the rich, has become the most precious Miami-Dade County enclave with approximately 150 water property now with a collective value of more than $ 1.7 billion.
Fed by a wave of newcomers demanding Florida taxes, mild climate and paved luxury, the road has a $ 1.19 billion in sale since 2020, with 24 deals leading $ 20 million, according to data compiled by Wall Street Journal.
At the heart of this rage is Robert Zarco, a trade judge who, more than 20 years ago, caught a hectare of front land for $ 3 million. He collected $ 15 million in the design of a 19,000 -square -foot Mediterranean villa, complete with 11 bedrooms, a spacious pool and ports for his yacht quartet. Since hitting the pandemic, intermediaries have bombed it with offers, some growing $ 100 million.
“If I was going to tell you I had 40 offers, that would probably be an underestimation,” he told the newspaper. However, Zarco, now 64, will not budget.
“If you were to offer me $ 200 million, I wouldn’t still move,” he said. “I will never be able to repeat this lifestyle. To build something else now it would take years I might not have.”
The numbers show a story of unprecedented escalation. The land that once received $ 500 per foot now commands 1,000 to $ 1,500. Nearly 40% of its water houses-59-have changed their hands since 2020, frequently shattered records with two Dedit prices.
“North Bay Road is Miami Beach’s Park Avenue,” said Nelson Gonzalez, a veteran agent with Berkshire Hathaway EWM Realty, for The Journal. Street cachet reflects elite pockets like Malibu’s Paradise Cove or Palm Beach’s Billionires Beach, where the Superrich group in tight enclaves.
The list of residents reads as one who is of power and famous.

Media Titan Barry Diller entered the stage in April 2024, providing 1.5 hectares for $ 45 million.

Pandemia ignited this golden hurry.

The absence has only intensified the rage of nutrition. “At this point, we have to knock on the door just to make people sell, nor know at the doors – knock on their door and bring them a wild offer with a contract in hand,” Gonzalez added.
However, many, like envelope, climb the religions of paradise.

The envelope also saves intangibles. “I can’t sleep on my bank account. I can’t throw a party in my bank account,” he says. “Sitting at the dock by seeing the sunset at the end of the day, there is nothing like this. It is like the source of youth. You grow old.”
However, paradise comes at a cost. Envelope insurance has gone to over $ 100,000 a year, a fourfold increase since it went inside. Others plow millions in hurricane protection, a necessity in a region prone to extreme dentys.
“It would take a tremendous storm for the water to get home,” Zarco said about his reinforced wealth. “The house is not going nowhere.”
