General Overview
Allison Island connects to mainland Florida through several bridges that provide access to local attractions like Bal Harbor Shops, an open-air mall with high-end retail and fine dining; Lincoln Road, which has a vibrant food scene; and South Beach’s famed Art Deco District. Additionally, Brittany Bay Park and La Gorce Country Club are located less than a mile from Aqua for those who enjoy outdoor recreation.
Location
Located off the shores of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic, this residential development combines luxury resort living with the excitement of new urbanism. It occupies 8.5 acres of prime land on the southern edge of Allison Island, which is tucked away in La Gorce’s scenic Indian Creek Waterway.
Aptly named Aqua for the crystalline waters that surround it, this prestigious real estate project brings residents within close proximity to Bal Harbor and South Beach. The community also provides access to the Miami International Airport via the Julia Tuttle Causeway or I-95.
