Bay Harbor Islands has become one of South Florida’s most sought-after residential communities, offering a quieter alternative to Miami Beach, while still being moments from the area’s premier shopping, dining, and waterfront destinations. Among the newest additions to the neighborhood is Penthouse 701 at 1160 101st St, a residence that blends contemporary architecture, expansive views, and a strong focus on wellness.
Penthouse 701 sits atop Alma, a newly developed boutique condominium designed by renowned architect Kobi Karp. Priced at $4,990,000, the residence is part of a trio of new developments helping to revamp Bay Harbor Islands. Together with several neighboring projects, Alma is bringing a fresh architectural presence to a community that has become increasingly popular among buyers seeking both privacy and convenience.
Kobi Karp has helped define some of South Florida’s most recognizable residential and hospitality developments over the past three decades. At Alma, his architectural vision is expressed through fluid shapes, expansive glass, and a design that feels both modern and timeless. The building’s sculptural exterior distinguishes it from the area’s more traditional residential offerings while maintaining a scale that complements the surrounding neighborhood.
Inside Penthouse 701, a private elevator opens directly into the home, revealing approximately 3,100 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. The five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath penthouse combines generous indoor living areas with expansive terraces and panoramic views that extend from Bay Harbor Islands to Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami. Natural light fills the residence through floor-to-ceiling windows, while open living spaces create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The home’s interior feels both comfortable and refined. Clean architectural details, quality finishes, and well-proportioned rooms create spaces that feel both elegant and welcoming. Throughout the residence, the emphasis remains on livability, allowing the views, natural light, and connection to the outdoors to remain the focal point.
One of Alma’s most distinctive features is found on the rooftop, where the development takes a different approach to resident amenities. In addition to a rooftop pool and lounge spaces overlooking the water and Miami skyline, residents will have access to dedicated wellness pods featuring cryotherapy, red-light therapy, and other recovery-focused experiences.
The focus on wellness extends into the residences themselves. Each home will have an AmpFit workout trainer integrated into one of the bedrooms, making it easy for residents to incorporate fitness into their daily routines without leaving home.
Together, these amenities reflect Alma’s broader approach to modern luxury living. Rather than focusing solely on traditional amenities, the development places equal emphasis on wellness, convenience, and the way residents experience their homes on a daily basis.
As new construction opportunities in Bay Harbor Islands remain limited, projects that combine architectural distinction with thoughtful amenities continue to attract significant attention. Penthouse 701 stands out not only for its scale and views, but also for the lifestyle it represents: one that blends contemporary design, wellness, and the convenience of South Florida’s most desirable residential enclaves.
