Pagani Residences North Bay Village: From Reservation to Closing, Stage by Stage

Pagani Residences is a branded condominium tower at 7940 West Drive on Harbor Island in North Bay Village, developed by Miami-based Riviera Horizons with Pagani Arte, the interior design division founded by Horacio Pagani. According to Haute Residence's buyer's guide, current as of September 29, 2026, the project is listed as pre-construction with 70 residences and a delivery date still marked TBA. That status line is a useful starting point, because it shows how much of this project's timeline is still being written.

The project has moved past the announcement phase. The developer's press page and Florida YIMBY both report that a groundbreaking ceremony was held on May 15, 2026, and Florida YIMBY described the project as a 30-story waterfront tower at 7940 West Drive. For a buyer, the practical meaning is that you are looking at a building that has started construction but has not been delivered. The gap between those two points is where most of the planning happens.

This guide follows the public record in order: the 2024 launch, the 2026 groundbreaking, and the delivery targets that have been published. It then looks at what a buyer who cares about walkability and daily routine should verify during the build. The published sources do not lay out a step-by-step reservation-to-closing schedule, so where the record is silent, we say so.

Riviera Horizons and Pagani announced the project publicly in early 2024. Florida YIMBY reported on March 7, 2024 that the building was designed by Revuelta Architecture International, with interiors curated by Pagani Arte, and that completion was then expected in 2027.

The announcement-era description differs in places from later descriptions. Florida YIMBY's March 2024 article called the tower 28 stories, while the developer's press release and the official press page describe a 30-story tower. Early coverage also described a 240-foot waterfront boardwalk and private boat slips, while the official site today refers to a private baywalk and marina. These are normal evolutions for a project in development, but they are a reminder to rely on the current sales documents rather than early press.

The next marker is the groundbreaking. The official press page lists coverage of the May 15 ceremony, and the Florida YIMBY item on that page describes construction as underway. After a long period when the building existed mainly as renderings, a started site gives buyers a concrete reference point against which to measure later progress.

Published delivery information is not uniform. Florida YIMBY's March 2024 report and the developer's launch release pointed to 2027. Haute Residence's guide, as of September 29, 2026, cites a 2028 completion target from CondoBlackBook's March 2026 coverage, and notes that its own project page lists delivery as TBA. BRG International's groundbreaking report says Riviera Horizons expects to complete the project in late 2028, though that report adds that the developer has not yet announced construction milestones.

The most reasonable reading is that the target has moved later than the original announcement, and that no single authoritative delivery date appears in the public sources we reviewed. A buyer should treat any single year as an estimate until the developer confirms it in writing. Asking the sales team for the current projected delivery window and how it is communicated to purchasers is a sensible first step.

For anyone planning a move, this matters more than the price conversation. If you are selling another home, leaving a lease or coordinating a school year, a delivery range that spans more than a year is a planning variable, not a footnote. Build flexibility into your own schedule and ask how the developer expects to notify buyers as construction progresses.

The research available for this article does not publish the mechanics between reservation and closing, such as the deposit structure, the contract timeline or the closing process. We are not going to guess at them. Haute Residence's project page lists pricing as available on request, last updated in July 2026, which suggests that current availability is best confirmed directly with the sales team rather than from a portal.

Pricing figures in the public record also vary by source and date. The developer's press materials and press coverage have cited different starting points at different times, and brokerage portals show their own figures. Because those numbers are tied to specific releases and listing snapshots, ask for a current price sheet with a date on it and compare it against the residence you actually want.

A practical approach is to request three documents in writing: the current availability and price sheet, the projected delivery window, and the developer's schedule for communicating construction progress. With those in hand, you can build your own timeline around real information instead of portal summaries.

For a buyer who values walkability, the timeline is also a chance to test whether the location suits your routine. According to the New Construction Condo Miami analysis from the David Siddons Group, North Bay Village residents enjoy a walkable neighborhood with bakeries, minimal traffic and easy access by bike or golf cart. The same analysis describes the setting as about 15 minutes from the beach and the Design District. That is one brokerage's description, and it is worth confirming with your own visits at different times of day.

The building's own published features point toward an outdoor, low-key routine. Florida YIMBY's March 2024 report lists ground-floor offerings including bicycle storage, paddleboards and kayaks, and the official site highlights a private baywalk and marina. Those are the details that shape a daily walk or a quick trip on the water, but they are amenities of the building, not proof of walkable errands. Spend time on Harbor Island itself and note what you can reach on foot.

The official site also describes access to Miami International and private airports, shopping, golf, social clubs, and destinations such as Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Bal Harbour and the Miami Design District. The island municipality sits between Edgewater and Miami Beach, so many of these trips will involve a car, a bike or a golf cart rather than a walk. Decide how much of your week you expect to cover on foot, and judge the location against that honest number.

Because construction has started, you can visit the site, see the street context and walk the island before committing. Compare the walk from West Drive to the places you would use weekly, and take note of traffic, noise and shade at different hours. These observations are free, and they often tell you more about daily life than renderings do.

Use the same period to understand the residence you are considering. The developer's materials describe all-corner residences, with the press release citing two to four bedrooms with panoramic waterfront views, and note two duplex penthouses among the 70 homes. Haute Residence's card lists bedroom counts of three to six plus penthouses, so published counts differ by source. Confirm the exact configuration, terrace orientation and view corridor for the residence you want against the current sales documents.

If you would like help organizing these questions, Denis Smykalov and the team at Wolsen Developments can walk you through the current public information on Pagani Residences, help you prepare a list for the developer's sales team, and compare it against other North Bay Village and Miami waterfront options. Our role is to help you ask precise questions and weigh the answers.
