The Grand
the grand is downtown Miami's residential landmark: a 42-story twin-tower complex at 1717 N Bayshore Drive, completed in 1987 with 810 residences, a full-service marina, and a DoubleTree hotel on site. It was among the first luxury bayfront developments of its era, and it still dominates its stretch of the bay.
With 810 units, The Grand operates its own resale economy: there is almost always inventory, pricing is transparent, and the rental market serves everyone from downtown professionals to seasonal bayfront seekers.

A Bayfront Institution Since 1987
The twin-tower design maximizes bay views across the 810 residences, and the on-site marina gives boaters something no newer tower on this corridor offers: dockage at home. The DoubleTree hotel adds hospitality services and dining to the complex.
The corridor's later towers, Cite on the Bay and 1800 Club, brought 2000s scale to the same bayfront, but The Grand's marina and sheer unit depth keep it competitive. Margaret Pace Park's waterfront sits nearby, extending the area's green space.
The 810-Unit Market
Scale is the investment thesis: with 810 residences, buyers can find nearly any floor plan and price point, and sellers benefit from constant comparable sales. The building's age means reviewing the association's capital plans, standard diligence for a landmark of this vintage.
For renters, the marina, the bay views, and the downtown proximity make a compelling package. For boaters specifically, there is no substitute on this corridor.
