Sereno Residences is the building Bay Harbor Islands watched rise on the site of an aging condominium — and the replacement was worth the wait. Completed in 2016, the eight-story tower curves along 10201 E Bay Harbor Drive so its 40 residences face open Biscayne Bay, with floor-to-ceiling glass, nine-foot ceilings, and private elevator foyers in every home. Developed by Integra Investments with 13th Floor Investments and designed by Corwil Architects, with interiors by Steven G, Sereno pairs a three-story lobby and a zero-edge pool with something rare on the island: private boat slips for residents. Both resale condos and long-term rentals trade here, making Sereno Residences one of the east island's most complete waterfront addresses.
Sereno Residences Frequently Asked Questions
❯ Does Sereno come with a boat slip?
Many residences at Sereno Residences include use of a private boat slip — listings have advertised slips for boats up to about 45 feet — a genuine rarity among Bay Harbor Islands condominiums. Slip rights are tied to specific units — confirm in the condo documents whether a residence carries deeded slip rights before offering.
❯ What stood on the Sereno site before the tower?
An aging condominium previously occupied this waterfront parcel. Integra Investments and 13th Floor Investments razed it and delivered an eight-story, 40-residence tower with modern hurricane construction, a three-story glass lobby, a zero-edge pool, a private marina, and an outdoor theater.
❯ Can I rent out my unit at Sereno Residences?
Yes, with limits: leasing once per year with a 12-month minimum, and owners may lease after purchase. That suits long-term tenants over vacation turnover and has kept owner-occupancy strong since 2016.
❯ What do the residences look like inside?
Flow-through layouts run two to four bedrooms, with dens available, ranging from about 1,029 to over 2,100 square feet. Expect nine-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, private elevator foyers, open kitchens, and two assigned parking spaces per residence.
❯ How much are HOA fees at Sereno?
Maintenance runs about $1.15 per square foot per month, varying by unit. Fees cover 24-hour security, the zero-edge pool and cabanas, two fitness centers, sauna and steam rooms, common areas, and reserves.
❯ Are pets allowed at Sereno Residences?
The pet policy carries possible restrictions — review current rules and weight limits with the association before buying.

Design That Chases the Water
The tower's defining move is its curve: Corwil Architects shaped the facade so residences angle toward open water, and the sheer amount of glass — including a three-story lobby wrapped in it — keeps the bay present from the moment you walk in.
Residents of Sereno Residences get a zero-edge pool with cabanas, a bar and barbecue areas, an outdoor theater, two fitness centers, a sauna and steam room, a gaming lounge, and a private park and playground. It is a deep amenity bench for a 40-residence building, and the private boat slips remain the headline feature few competitors can match.
East Island, Steps to Everything
Sereno sits on the east island minutes from the Bal Harbour Shops, the beaches of Surfside and Bal Harbour, and the Kane Concourse dining strip. The location also puts the Broad Causeway and the A-rated Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center within easy reach — which is why Sereno Residences draws full-time residents and second-home buyers in roughly equal measure.
Resale activity skews toward three- and four-bedroom residences: newer construction, genuine waterfront, and dockage are hard to replicate on an island where most developable parcels are long gone. For a comparable newer boutique nearby, see Bijou Bay Harbor; for a smaller west-island alternative, Riva Bay Harbor offers a similar low-density feel.
