Moon Bay is a 12-story boutique condominium located directly on Biscayne Bay in North Central Edgewater. Developed by Cervera Real Estate Group and designed by Wolfberg Alvarez and Partners with interiors by B. Pila Design, the building was completed in 2007 and houses 61 residences across eight unit lines per floor. The design draws on a Zen-influenced aesthetic with clean contemporary lines, floor-to-ceiling glass, and a soft blue-grey and aqua color palette inspired by the bay views. Units range from one-bedroom to two-bedroom layouts spanning 677 to 1,159 square feet, with additional townhome-style units on the lower floors. Standard features include European-designed kitchens with Italian cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, European marble floors in wet areas, and in-unit washer/dryers. The amenity deck on level 10 features a heated pool, fitness center, spa with his-and-hers sauna and steam rooms, business center, and lounge area. As one of the first buildings completed during the pre-recession condo boom, Moon Bay offers larger units and better build quality than many of its later-era peers, though the finishes reflect the 2007 design sensibility. The building occupies a waterfront lot that, given its relatively low 12-story height, could make it a target for developer acquisition in the next 10-15 years.
Moon Bay attracts a more mature, quiet demographic that values waterfront living without the flash and commotion of larger high-rises. Residents tend to be professionals, small families, and retirees who want a boutique community feel with only 61 neighbors. This is not a party building. The smaller scale means you know your neighbors, and the vibe is residential rather than resort. If you want a quiet waterfront home where you can enjoy the bay views without dealing with the politics and drama of a 300-unit mega-tower, Moon Bay fits the profile.
Moon Bay sits in North Central Edgewater on a direct bayfront lot at NE 29th Street. The neighborhood is undergoing massive transformation with multiple luxury developments rising in every direction. Biscayne Boulevard, the commercial spine of Edgewater, is a few blocks west with a growing collection of restaurants, shops, and services. The area is quieter than Downtown and Brickell but is rapidly densifying.
Direct bayfront location with water views to the south and east.
Growing commercial corridor with dining, retail, and services.
Premier bayfront park with tennis courts, basketball, volleyball, dog park, and jogging path.
Full-service grocery store on Biscayne Boulevard.
Free automated transit connecting to Downtown and Brickell. Approximately 10 blocks south.
Moon Bay is surrounded by active and planned construction on nearly every side. Villa Miami is under construction directly to the east, which will block the building's east-facing bay views. The Cove Miami is planned to the west. Additional projects are going up across the street to the north. This area will be a construction zone for the next 3-5 years. The upside is that the neighborhood is densifying rapidly, bringing more retail, restaurants, and services. The significant downside for Moon Bay specifically is that its 12-story height and the valuable waterfront land it occupies make it a potential developer buyout target in the next 10-15 years.

Moon Bay was completed in 2007, before the Great Recession hit Miami's condo market. Buildings from this era were generally built to a higher standard than those rushed to completion during or immediately after the downturn. The construction quality, while not ultra-luxury, is solid for a boutique building of this size. The impact-resistant glass, European marble, and Italian cabinetry are genuine materials, not the cost-engineered substitutes you find in some later-era buildings.
Villa Miami is under construction directly to the east of Moon Bay. Once completed, it will significantly block the east-facing bay views that are currently one of the building's strongest selling points. If you are looking at an east-facing unit, understand that the view you see today will not be the view you have in 2-3 years. South-facing units retain their views for now, but always verify what is planned in every direction before committing.
This is the most speculative but potentially most important factor about Moon Bay. The building is only 12 stories on a prime bayfront lot in an area where new towers are going up at 50-60+ stories. The land value underneath Moon Bay likely exceeds the value of the building itself. In the next 10-15 years, a developer buyout is a realistic possibility. This could be a significant financial windfall for owners if a developer offers a premium to acquire the building. It could also mean uncertainty about the building's long-term future. Factor this into your buy-vs-rent decision.
Moon Bay is in the middle of one of Edgewater's most active construction zones. Villa Miami is going up to the east. The Cove Miami is planned to the west. New projects are rising across the street to the north. There are also vacant lots nearby with projects in the pipeline. If you are buying or renting here in the near term, you need to accept 3-5 years of construction noise, dust, crane traffic, and changing sightlines. The building itself is fine, but the surrounding environment will be disruptive.
Unlike most Edgewater towers that offer only standard condo layouts, Moon Bay includes townhome-style and loft units on the lower floors. These provide a different living experience with multi-level layouts and a more residential feel. If you want something that does not feel like a typical high-rise unit, the townhomes are worth exploring. They tend to be priced differently and offer more interior square footage per dollar.
Moon Bay's amenities are functional but not impressive by current Edgewater standards. The level 10 pool deck, fitness center, and spa with sauna and steam rooms cover the basics. But do not expect the resort-scale amenity suites you find at Aria Reserve, Missoni Baia, or Elysee. The trade-off is that a 61-unit building means you will actually be able to use the pool without fighting for a lounge chair, and the HOA fees reflect the smaller amenity footprint.
Moon Bay has all the same benefits and downsides as every other Edgewater building. The neighborhood is quieter and more family-friendly than Downtown or Brickell. Biscayne Boulevard has a growing restaurant and retail scene within walking distance. But the traffic on Biscayne can be brutal during rush hours, the Metromover is a solid 10-block walk south, and the streets around the building can flood significantly during rainstorms, tropical storms, and hurricanes. You will likely need a car here.
Moon Bay is a quiet, under-the-radar boutique building for someone who wants waterfront living without the flash, the drama, or the price tag of Edgewater's newer mega-towers. The pre-recession build quality is decent, the units are larger than what you would get in a comparable newer building, and the 61-unit scale creates a genuine community feel. The finishes are 2007-era and will not win any design awards today. The east-facing views are on a time clock due to Villa Miami. And the potential developer buyout scenario adds a wildcard to the long-term ownership calculus. If you want a simple, quiet, waterfront home in Edgewater at a reasonable price and you are comfortable with the construction and buyout uncertainties, Moon Bay is a solid option.
Moon Bay is just a nice, average boutique building in Edgewater. It is not trying to be ultra-luxury. It is not trying to impress you with a branded name or a celebrity architect. It is a 12-story, 61-unit building on the bay with decent pre-recession build quality, larger-than-average units, and a quiet, mature resident population. The amenities are basic but functional. The finishes are 2007-era, so do not expect anything modern or flashy. The south-facing water views are great. The east-facing views are on a time clock because Villa Miami is going up right there. The entire area around Moon Bay is a construction zone and will be for the next 3-5 years. The most interesting angle here is the potential developer buyout. This building is short for the land it sits on, and in a neighborhood where 50-60 story towers are going up all around it, the land value is probably worth more than the building. In 10-15 years, a buyout is a realistic scenario. If you want a quiet waterfront home without the drama of a mega-tower, Moon Bay works. Just go in with realistic expectations about the finishes, the views, and the construction around you.

The quiet workhorse of Edgewater. No brand, no drama, no headlines. Just large units, incredible views, and one of the best locations on Margaret Pace Park at a price that still makes sense.
Edgewater's original twin-tower complex. Massive scale, massive views, massive unit count. The recession-era bones are showing, but the location across from Margaret Pace Park still delivers.
Edgewater's quiet boutique option. Only 78 units, pre-recession build quality, incredible bay views from every unit, and the kind of low-drama living that the mega-towers next door cannot offer.
