About Ambassador Place
Ambassador Place is a boutique, mid-rise condominium community located at 10001 W Bay Harbor Drive in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida 33154. Built in 1959, the four-story building reflects classic mid-century architecture with a European-style courtyard layout and a charming pool deck.
The community has undergone renovations over the years, including a conversion from rental apartments to individually owned condominiums, so many residences blend original character with modern improvements. Most units are one- and two-bedroom floor plans, typically in the midsize range, ideal for full-time residents or as a low-maintenance second home.
History of Ambassador Place
Completed in 1959, Ambassador Place is part of Bay Harbor Islands’ early wave of mid-century residential development. At that time, the east island of Bay Harbor was transitioning from primarily single-family homes to a mix of condo buildings, multifamily residences, and a compact business district along Kane Concourse.
Decades later, the building was renovated and converted from a rental property into condominiums, reflecting rising demand for ownership opportunities in this waterfront town. Today, Ambassador Place preserves much of its original charm while benefiting from ongoing updates by individual owners and the association, which help keep the building comfortable and functional.
