Bal Harbour 101
Bal Harbour 101, at 10155 Collins Avenue, is the village's most amenity-complete vintage tower: a 19- to 20-story oceanfront condominium completed in 1977 with about 172 residences, an on-site restaurant, and a white facade dressed in curved metal railings that give the building its rhythmic, recognizable exterior. Designed by Clement DiFillippo, the two- to four-bedroom homes at Bal Harbour 101 run roughly 2,135 to 3,690 square feet with floor-to-ceiling glass, large balconies, and Atlantic and Intracoastal views — including two half-floor penthouses up top.

Designed by Clement DiFillippo, the two- to four-bedroom homes at Bal Harbour 101 run roughly 2,135 to 3,690 square feet with floor-to-ceiling glass, large balconies, and Atlantic and Intracoastal views — including two half-floor penthouses up top. The amenity list reads like a resort brochure: heated pool with pool and beach service, fitness center, spa, social and card rooms, tennis and basketball courts, direct beach access, private cabanas available for purchase, and several guest suites for residents' visitors. Services include valet and garage parking plus 24-hour security, and the building is pet-friendly (under 20 lbs). Both the for-sale and long-term rental markets are active, with recent sales from about $1.6 million to $6 million.
Bal Harbour 101 Frequently Asked Questions
❯ Where does the "101" name come from?
The address: 10155 Collins Avenue, at 101st Street on the ocean — the building takes its name from its cross street, a Bal Harbour naming tradition. The location puts it one block from the Bal Harbour Shops and near the Bal Harbour Yacht Club, with Haulover Marina and Aventura Mall a short drive away.
❯ What is the on-site restaurant?
The building operates its own restaurant — the Bal Harbour 101 Restaurant — a genuine rarity among the village's condos. Combined with the heated pool's food-and-beverage beach service, residents can dine without leaving the property, a convenience that factors into both resale values and rental demand.
❯ Can owners buy a cabana?
Yes — private cabanas are available for purchase by owners, a coveted perk for beachfront living. The building also maintains several guest suites that residents can reserve for visitors, effectively extending the home for holidays and season — a thoughtful touch for owners whose families visit in winter.
❯ What are the penthouses like?
Two half-floor penthouses sit atop Bal Harbour 101, the largest and most exclusive residences in the tower. Below them, the standard two- to four-bedroom plans (2,135–3,690 sq. ft.) offer floor-to-ceiling glass, walk-in closets, and large balconies — generous 1970s proportions at a discount to new construction.
❯ Can I rent my unit, and are pets allowed?
Long-term rentals are established in the building, with recent asking rents averaging around $11,700 per month. The building is pet-friendly for animals under 20 pounds. As always, buyers should confirm the association's current minimum lease terms and approval process before purchasing for income.
❯ How does it compare to its DiFillippo siblings?
Architect Clement DiFillippo also designed Bal Harbour Tower (1990) and The Palace at Bal Harbour (1994). The Tower is grander and more exclusive (116 huge homes); the Palace is sleeker and glassier; 101 is the most amenity-rich and community-oriented of the three — restaurant, guest suites, cabanas for sale, and the liveliest common areas.

The Amenity-Rich Vintage Choice
Few 1970s towers in South Florida match this roster: a real restaurant, spa, tennis and basketball, beach service, cabanas for sale, and guest suites. The building functions as a self-contained resort community — the reason its 172 homes turn over steadily in both the sales and rental markets, and why the HOA culture here feels more clubhouse than condominium.
