Location, location, location. It’s the first rule of real estate and, if you play your cards right, it comes with an amazing view.
But with wellness expectations rising, a great view is no longer enough. Enter the notion of “blue space,” the belief that proximity to water measurably improves health and well-being, making access to water not just picturesque, but functional.
It’s a concept Continuum Company (no relation to New York’s Continuum Club) is leveraging in a bold way, with more than 1.5 acres of submerged land at the center of an ambitious Sport & Wellness Residences project in North Miami.
It’s the New York and Miami-based developer’s first wellness concept in Miami, and sales have just begun for the 262-unit, 20-story glass tower at 12000 North Bayshore Drive.
The headliner of the project is The Mermaid Club, touting 150,000 square feet of waterfront sport and wellness spaces with immersive and exclusive access to Biscayne Bay. The club will feature a beach deck for yoga and relaxation, as well as floating pools, paddleboards, water toys and a 20-slip private marina for boat owners.
“The reality is, in Miami you’re surrounded by water, but you can’t get on it,” said Continuum Company founder Ian Bruce Eichner. “At 12000, you don’t just get a great view, you get a first-of-its-kind immersive waterfront experience.”
Construction begins in 2027.
There are plans for a fitness center featuring Booty Builder equipment, a spa and longevity center with contrast therapy, cold plunges and infrared saunas, indoor pickleball and multi-sport courts, golf and multi-sport simulators and putting greens.
Residents can select from one- to three-bedroom homes, waterfront villas and penthouses, all featuring wellness-focused amenities such as NSF-certified water filtration and cedar saunas. Perks include Yacht Club and Beach Club memberships, waterfront and poolside attendants, organic food delivery and access to an on-site market.
Elsewhere in Miami, the wellness real estate push is just as aggressive.
Real estate developer Terra and New York-based wellness brand The Well are bringing a full-scale wellness club to Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences, set to open in 2028, with an infrared sauna, cold plunge, compression therapy, squash courts and a yoga studio opening onto an outdoor training terrace.
Surf Row Residences in Miami Beach, meanwhile, has taken a boutique approach, leaning into coastal proximity and amenities like a Zen spa with steam room, sauna, cold plunge and treatment room. There is also a fitness center, private workout studio and outdoor pool deck.
