Iris On The Bay is a waterfront subdivision within Normandy Shores in Miami Beach, bringing contemporary townhome residences to the eastern side of this North Beach island community. The development sits along North Shore Drive, with views toward the bay and the surrounding Normandy Shores landscape.
With 44 homes, Iris On The Bay is a relatively small residential community. While Normandy Shores itself is a gated neighborhood, Iris On The Bay is not gated, giving the subdivision a distinct entrance and streetscape within the larger community.
About Iris On The Bay
Iris On The Bay was developed as a modern waterfront residential community within Normandy Shores. The homes feature contemporary architecture and are arranged in a low-rise setting along North Shore Drive. The location places residents close to Biscayne Bay, the Normandy Shores Golf Club, neighborhood parks, and the broader North Beach area.
The community is particularly notable for its waterfront setting and modern design, contrasting with the mid-century homes found throughout much of Normandy Shores. The development was created on an approximately two-acre waterfront site and consists of fee-simple townhomes.
Because Iris On The Bay is a subdivision of Normandy Shores, it is important to distinguish the two communities. Iris On The Bay has its own residences and community features, while amenities associated with the larger Normandy Shores area are available in the surrounding neighborhood rather than being amenities of Iris On The Bay itself.
History of Iris On The Bay
Iris On The Bay is a relatively recent addition to Normandy Shores. The Spear Group and a strategic partner acquired a two-acre waterfront development site and received approvals for a 43-unit townhome project. Construction was subsequently completed in two phases, with both phases sold out.
The development added a contemporary residential component to an area better known for its established mid-century architecture, waterfront homes, and golf-course setting. The broader Normandy Shores community has roots dating to the development of the island and its municipal golf course in the early 20th century.
