Oceana Bal Harbour has attracted a number of high-profile residents and pricey sales since the 240-unit tower was completed by Eduardo Costantini’s Buenos Aires-based Consultatio in 2016. Unit 501 sold for $7.1 million in April. Olshan Properties founder Morton Olshan bought a condo in the building from Anheuser-Busch CEO Michael Doukeris for $9.6 million in March of last year. Bal Harbour has been a hub for luxury condo sales in Miami-Dade County in recent months. The Related Group, Two Roads Development and Rockpoint launched sales of the planned 24-story, 61-unit Rivage at 10245 Collins Avenue in January. Pricing for units in the building range from $8 million to $65 million for the tower’s penthouse.
