We are proud to be a part of North Bay Village's revitalization and urban transformation."

Situated on a 33,600-square-foot lot on the Intracoastal Waterway, 7918 West Drive is a state-of-the-art development surrounded by water near a natural preserve. With no two units alike, the building's innovative design showcases the simplicity of Japanese living. Indoor and outdoor living spaces allow residents to see the sunrise and sunset from all units.

7918 West Drive is a collection of dramatic residences, where east meets west. Aerial views show the distinctive architecture and landscape elements that define every floor plan and each unit, respectively. The thoughtful details in this building make it truly exceptional. The combination of Asian culture, spectacular design and modern, high-tech living sets the project apart from the rest. The community offers a Zen Garden, yoga space and water elements to create an indoor-outdoor feel.

The building also features the design of ONE DESIGNS Co. Ltd, a Tokyo-based multidisciplinary architectural design firm. For those seeking a home that simply redefines attention to detail, the firm includes architectural designers and first-class certified architects who bring the expertise of Japanese construction and interior design.

With prices starting at $1.8 million and units ranging from 1,677-7,086 square feet total, residences will feature a minimum of two bedrooms, with at least two view exposures to Biscayne Bay. With only four units per floor, all residences are corner units with each balcony having an irregular shape and irregular ceiling shape, providing partially shaded and partially sunny areas.
