KAl at Bay Harbor is really two buildings — North and South — sharing one waterfront address at 9940 W Bay Harbor Dr. Designed by Arquitectonica and developed by 3D Developers, the seven-story community delivered 54 residences in 2016 with the things island buyers actually fight over: an on-site marina, a rooftop infinity pool with heated spa, and a pet-friendly policy. Residences run one to three bedrooms, and the rental rules favor stability — one lease per year, twelve-month minimum. For boaters who want the design pedigree without the pre-construction wait, KAl at Bay Harbor is the west island's pragmatic luxury play.
KAl at Bay Harbor Frequently Asked Questions
❯ What is the difference between the North and South buildings?
Two seven-story buildings share one address, with unit numbers carrying -N or -S suffixes and a common amenity package — rooftop pool, marina, fitness center, clubhouse. The choice comes down to floor plan, exposure, and view corridor.
❯ Does KAl at Bay Harbor have a marina?
Yes — an on-site marina with canal frontage, no fixed bridges, and ocean access, which is about as good as dockage gets on the island. Amenities also include a clubhouse, barbecue and picnic areas, bike storage, and a business center. Confirm slip assignment and fees for any specific residence before buying.
❯ Can I rent out my KAl at Bay Harbor unit?
Under the long-term framework: one lease per year with a twelve-month minimum, and owners may lease after purchase. The policy keeps the community stable and owner-occupant heavy — investors seeking short-term income should look at buildings with more flexible rules.
❯ Are pets allowed at KAl at Bay Harbor?
Yes — pet-friendly, a genuine differentiator where many condominiums restrict pets. Confirm weight limits or breed provisions in the current condo documents.
❯ What else has Arquitectonica designed?
Arquitectonica is one of Miami's signature firms, and its island footprint keeps growing — the firm also designed Onda Bay Harbor, the east island's newest waterfront boutique. At KAl, the Arquitectonica touch shows in the clean massing, generous glazing, and the way the buildings sit lightly on a tight waterfront site.
❯ What sizes are the residences?
One- to three-bedroom layouts from about 1,106 to 1,882 square feet, with larger combined units trading on resale. Floor-to-ceiling windows, sound-insulated construction, and bay, canal, and Intracoastal exposures come standard.

An Arquitectonica Address on the West Island
Hiring Arquitectonica for a 54-residence community was a statement of intent: crisp lines, deep balconies, and glass that treats the bay as the main elevation. The architecture photographs as well as the views.
The North/South split is clever urbanism for a tight site: two slimmer buildings instead of one bulky slab, which means more corner exposures and better light for everyone. Unit numbering with -N and -S suffixes takes one showing to learn. For the firm's newest island work, tour Onda Bay Harbor; for a smaller west-island boutique, Riva Bay Harbor has just 25 homes.
Marina, Rooftop Pool, Repeat
The amenity loop at KAl at Bay Harbor is short and exactly right: rooftop infinity pool and heated spa with bay views, a full fitness center, clubhouse and media room, barbecue areas, and the marina that anchors the whole proposition. Add a concierge and door staff, two assigned garage spaces on many units, and private storage, and the monthly fee starts to make sense.
This is a building for people who use their amenities — boaters especially. The canal-front position with ocean access and no fixed bridges means the dock isn't decorative; it's the reason a meaningful share of owners chose KAl over prettier buildings with nowhere to put a boat. A fellow marina building: Bijou Bay Harbor on the east island.
