Onyx On The Bay
\n
Onyx on the Bay makes a promise most bayfront towers can’t: every single residence, all 118 of them, has a direct view of Biscayne Bay, because the 28-story building sits at the water’s edge rather than set back behind a park or podium. Developed by BAP Development & GGM Developers and designed by Bermello Ajamil & Partners, the 2007 tower at 665 NE 25th Street is a boutique alternative to Edgewater’s mega-towers, with one- to three-bedroom layouts from about 942 to 3,359 square feet. Condos for sale trade steadily and condos for rent lease well to tenants who want the bay without the crowds.

Bay Views From Every Residence
The water’s-edge siting is the whole pitch at Onyx on the Bay: no setback, no podium blocking lower floors, no bad lines. Balconies on each level step residents straight into the bay breeze, and the glass facade keeps the view present from kitchens and primary suites alike, a design discipline borrowed from the firm’s luxury-hotel work.
Boutique Waterfront Living
Amenities at Onyx on the Bay stay focused: pool, fitness center, sauna, clubhouse with billiards and media lounge, barbecue areas, concierge and doorman, gated access, and bike storage. For buyers who like the boutique count but want newer construction, 26 Edgewater sits just down the shoreline.

Daily Life Around Onyx on the Bay
\n
Onyx on the Bay sits on one of Edgewater's quietest bayfront blocks, but nothing you need is far. Margaret Pace Park is the neighborhood's backyard: first-come tennis courts, basketball, a dog park, outdoor fitness stations, and a bayfront promenade made for sunrise jogs. Breakfast belongs to El Bagel ($), a short drive up Biscayne. NiDo Caffe ($$) covers Italian dinners, and Doggi's Arepa Bar ($), the highest-rated budget lunch on the corridor, is worth the drive up Biscayne. Date nights head to the Design District: Mandolin Aegean Bistro ($$$$, a Michelin Bib Gourmand) and Michael's Genuine ($$$), ten minutes north. Publix on Biscayne handles the weekly shop. Evenings: the Adrienne Arsht Center is minutes south, and PAMM and Frost Science make an easy weekend double. Nearby bayfront comparisons: Paramount Bay and Opera Tower, both a short walk along the bay.

Onyx On The Bay Frequently Asked Questions
❯ Do all units really face the bay?
Yes. That was the building’s founding concept. The tower’s waterfront parcel and slim rectangular design mean each of the 118 residences gets a direct bay view from its balcony, with no “city-view-only” lines to avoid.
❯ How large is the building?
Twenty-eight stories with just 118 units, roughly four homes per floor, which keeps the hallways quiet and the amenities uncrowded. It’s roughly one-sixth the unit count of the mega-towers a few blocks south.
❯ Who designed Onyx on the Bay?
Bermello Ajamil & Partners, the Miami-born architecture and engineering firm whose portfolio includes the landmark Four Seasons Hotel & Tower in Brickell, for years Miami’s tallest building. The same glass-facade discipline shows in Onyx’s clean, symmetrical elevations.
❯ Can owners rent out their units, and are pets allowed?
Both. Rentals are permitted and pets are allowed, which broadens the buyer pool to investors and animal owners alike. Confirm the association’s current lease minimums and pet rules before purchasing.
❯ What floor plans are available?
One-, two-, and three-bedroom residences from about 942 to 3,359 square feet, with tile and hardwood floors, island kitchens, and tenant-controlled HVAC. Larger lines and penthouse-level units capture the widest bay panoramas.
❯ Who developed the tower?
BAP Development together with GGM Developers, a local partnership that delivered the building in 2007, at the height of Edgewater’s first condo wave, positioning it between the Blue and Quantum towers on the bay.
