Pagani Residences North Bay Village: A First-Time Pre-Construction Buyer's Briefing

Pagani Residences is a 30-story, 70-residence condominium at 7940 West Drive on Harbor Island in North Bay Village, Miami-Dade County. According to the developer's official sales website, it is the first residential project in the world to be curated by Pagani, the Italian hypercar maker, working with its interior design division, Pagani Arte. For a first-time pre-construction buyer, particularly one used to buying performance equipment, the appeal is easy to grasp: the brand's design language is carried into the home itself.

The development is led by Miami-based Riviera Horizons, whose founder and CEO is Mikael Hamaoui, according to the Pagani Residences vision and design team page. Revuelta Architecture International is the architect, and Pagani Arte curates the interiors. REHUB Miami's 2026 buyer's guide additionally lists A++ Human Sustainable Architecture on interiors alongside Pagani Arte, and names Fortune Development Sales as the sales firm. Fortune International Group's project page also presents the building as a residential condominium of 70 units.

Pre-construction purchasing differs from buying a finished home. You commit to a building that does not yet exist in full, relying on renderings, specifications and the developer's track record. The rest of this briefing is organized around what is documented, what varies by source, and what you should confirm directly before committing.

North Bay Village is a three-island city in Biscayne Bay, and Pagani Residences sits on Harbor Island. The developer's June 2026-era press materials describe the setting as an enclave with Biscayne Bay views and cite access to Miami International and private airports, as well as shopping, golfing, social clubs, and destinations such as Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Bal Harbour and the Miami Design District. Florida YIMBY's March 2024 report repeats that framing.

For someone whose schedule revolves around travel, training and a season calendar, location matters in practical terms: airport access, privacy, and a quieter base than a beachfront strip. The developer's press release also describes a 240-foot boardwalk and marina fronting Biscayne Bay and private boat slips. Whether those slips suit your vessel, and on what terms they are offered, is a question for the sales team in writing.

A reasonable first step is to visit Harbor Island itself. Drive the routes you would use most, whether to an airport, a facility or Miami Beach, at the hours you would actually travel. A rendering cannot tell you how a commute feels.

According to the developer's press release on the official Pagani Residences site, the tower has 70 all-corner residences, only four per floor, with two-to-four-bedroom homes ranging from 2,000 to over 3,300 square feet. The same release lists terraces from over 800 to 1,040 square feet, 11-foot ceilings in the residences, and 13-foot ceilings in the penthouses, which have private pools. It describes two two-story penthouses starting at 6,900 square feet with up to 4,400 square feet of outdoor living.

Fortune International Group's project page describes the homes as ranging from 2,000 square feet to over 3,000 square feet, a slightly different upper figure than the developer's. Haute Residence's project card lists 3 to 6 bedrooms plus penthouses, which conflicts with the developer's two-to-four-bedroom description. When sources disagree, treat the developer's current floor plan documents as the reference and ask the sales team to reconcile any discrepancy.

On the interiors, a Yahoo Finance-distributed press release describes the penthouse finishes as including light oak flooring in a chevron parquet with metal inlays, travertine, a sculptural staircase and Schiffini Magistretti kitchens. Customization is a stated theme of the project, and the developer's materials say homes can be tailored. How far customization extends, and at what stage of construction it closes, is something to obtain in writing.

Published figures differ by date, and that is itself useful information. Florida YIMBY reported in March 2024 that starting prices were $2.4 million. The developer's press release, distributed via Yahoo Finance, states that residences were priced starting at $3.7 million. The same press release debuted penthouses at $30 million and $28.5 million, according to the Pagani Residences press page. REHUB Miami's 2026 guide says published pricing starts at about $3.9 million, and Haute Residence, in a guide dated September 2026, attributes entry pricing from $3.9 million to Florida YIMBY's May 2026 report while its own page reads pricing upon request. Because these are snapshots from different moments, current pricing should come from the sales team directly.

Delivery is similarly unsettled in public sources. Florida YIMBY's March 2024 article cited 2027 completion, and Fortune International Group's project page also lists 2027. Haute Residence attributes a 2028 target to CondoBlackBook's March 2026 coverage, REHUB Miami says the developer expects completion in late 2028, and Haute Residence's own project page lists delivery as TBA. The most recent sources point later than the earliest ones.

Status also matters. REHUB Miami reports a groundbreaking on May 15, 2026, and Haute Residence's September 2026 guide cites Florida YIMBY for the same date. A building that has broken ground carries a different kind of risk than one still in presales, though neither removes the need to ask for the current construction schedule.

Start by asking for the current documents rather than relying on marketing summaries: the latest price list and availability, floor plans for the residence lines you are considering, the specification and finish schedule, and the project's stated delivery window. Ask which items are fixed and which can be customized. Because published pricing and timing vary across sources, a dated written answer from the sales team is more reliable than any article, including this one.

Next, understand who stands behind the project. The vision and design team page names Riviera Horizons as developer, Revuelta as architect and Pagani Arte as interior curator, and REHUB Miami reports Kast Construction as construction manager as reported at the May 2026 groundbreaking. Haute Residence lists the developer entity as 7940 NBV Partners LLC. Confirm these roles with the sales team, since they bear on accountability.

Finally, decide what you need the home to do. If it will be a primary or seasonal base, test practicalities: parking, which the developer says includes valet, preferred parking and private garages available for purchase; storage for gear, including the bicycle, paddleboard and kayak storage the developer describes; and security. Weigh a boutique tower of 70 homes against larger, amenity-heavy buildings on the merits of privacy and service rather than the brand alone.

Pagani Residences is a design-led project in a small tower, and the details that matter most are rarely the ones in the brochure. A brokerage can help you assemble the current documents, compare the project with other Miami waterfront developments, and prepare a list of questions before you speak with the sales team.
