Key Takeaways
- Miami-Dade’s own tax roll still carries this site as vacant commercial land , assessed at $3,937,500 for 2026 — a fact that will not update until the county’s next roll reflects the completed structure, folio 13-2227-001-0720.
- The developer reported a $30.5 million construction loan from S3 Capital in a 9 July 2025 press release , financing 27 residences at 9760 West Bay Harbor Drive.
- Pricing moved from $1.39 million at the December 2023 launch to a $3.8–4.5 million range for the remaining units by July 2025 — — the reported size range also narrowed, from 1,300–2,330 sq ft to 2,135–2,200 sq ft, so this is remaining larger inventory, not a like-for-like repricing of the same units.
- 20 of the building’s 27 residences were reported sold as of July 2025 , roughly 74 percent.
- The building is a 7-storey, 27-residence project by VDA Origin Miami , a Chilean development firm’s first U.S. project, partnered with Coral Gables furnishings brand Artefacto for interiors.
- Trade press disagrees on the groundbreaking date — — Florida YIMBY reported construction starting in March 2024; the developer’s own July 2025 release states groundbreaking in April 2025. Both are cited below; the gap is unresolved.

What Is Actually Being Built at Origin Residences
Origin Residences by Artefacto is a 7-storey, 27-residence condominium under construction at 9760 West Bay Harbor Drive, on the western edge of Bay Harbor Islands facing the Intracoastal Waterway. The developer is VDA Origin Miami, led by Mauricio Moya and Sergio Guzman — a Chilean real estate firm building its first project in the United States. Interiors are designed in partnership with Artefacto, the Coral Gables-based furnishings brand founded by Paulo Bacchi, with unit interiors credited to designer Carla Guilhem. Revuelta Architecture International is the architect and Thornton Construction Company — the same general contractor building Edge House Miami in Edgewater — is the builder (Florida YIMBY, 30 Mar 2024; PROFILEmiami, 13 Dec 2023).
The building holds 27 residences across two- to four-bedroom layouts. At the December 2023 sales launch, PROFILEmiami reported unit sizes of 1,300 to 2,330 square feet with pricing starting at $1.39 million. Amenities reported at launch include a private marina with 10 boat slips, a rooftop pool deck with summer kitchen and bar, an owners’ lounge, a fitness center, a coworking space and a kids’ playroom, with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances in the kitchens.
What the Land Record Shows, and What It Does Not
The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser carries this site under folio 13-2227-001-0720, classified VACANT LAND – COMMERCIAL, zoned multi-family, with a 2026 assessed value of $3,937,500 — up from $3,743,437 in 2025 and $3,403,125 in 2024. The last recorded transfer on this folio, dated 8 October 2021 at $4,500,000, is flagged by the county as part of a package or bulk sale rather than a simple arm’s-length purchase. This is the county’s own classification code, not an editorial judgment.
Two things are worth stating plainly. First, the county roll still describes the parcel as vacant land as of the current assessment cycle, even though the general contractor’s own project page lists construction status as “In Progress” — a reminder that a county tax roll is a lagging record, not a live construction tracker, and should not be read as evidence the project has stalled. Second, this research could not confirm whether a construction mortgage has been recorded against this folio at the Miami-Dade Clerk’s Official Records. The Clerk’s search portal sits behind a Cloudflare human-verification challenge that this research session could not complete (see the verified note below), so the $30.5 million loan figure below comes from the developer’s own press release, not from an independent recording search.

Why the Published Price Range Jumped
Three separate dated sources give three different price pictures for this building, and laying them side by side is more useful than picking one. PROFILEmiami reported a $1.39 million starting price at the December 2023 launch, on units sized 1,300 to 2,330 square feet. Florida YIMBY, reporting the March 2024 construction start, put the smallest unit starting at $1.9 million. By the time VDA Origin issued its own press release on 9 July 2025 announcing the $30.5 million construction loan, the figures given for the remaining unsold inventory were $3.8 million to $4.5 million, on units of 2,135 to 2,200 square feet.
Read in sequence, this does not look like a simple appreciation story. The size range narrows as the price range rises, which is consistent with smaller, lower-priced units selling first and the building’s remaining inventory skewing toward its larger, higher-floor residences — an ordinary pattern in a nearly sold-out pre-construction building, not evidence of anything unusual on its own. With 20 of 27 residences reported sold as of the July 2025 release, that remaining-inventory effect can plausibly explain most of the gap. What the record does not support is a claim that the building’s per-square-foot pricing tripled; the safer statement is that the reported price band for what is left to buy rose sharply as the cheaper, smaller stock sold through.

Who Is Building It
VDA Origin Miami’s co-founder Sergio Guzman is quoted in the July 2025 press release attributing pre-sales strength to the building standing out in the market; that quote is the developer’s own characterization of its results, not an independently verified claim, and is presented here as such. Thornton Construction Company, the general contractor, lists the project on its own site as an “In Progress,” 103,000-square-foot, ground-up multifamily build, without a stated completion date on that page as of this check. The developer’s July 2025 release states a late-2026 completion target and an April 2025 groundbreaking — which sits oddly against Florida YIMBY’s report of construction starting in March 2024. Both dates are on the record from named, dated sources; this page states both rather than silently picking one, and readers evaluating a purchase should ask the sales team directly which is accurate.
Who This Building Suits
At 27 residences with a private marina and Bay Harbor Islands’ low-density zoning, Origin Residences suits a buyer who wants a boutique building over a tower, values dock access over ocean frontage (the site faces the Intracoastal, not the Atlantic), and is comfortable buying with roughly three-quarters of the building already under contract — meaning limited unit selection and pricing set by what the developer has left, not by a published price list. It suits a boater specifically: 10 slips for 27 homes is an unusually high ratio. It suits this buyer badly if a stated completion date matters to the decision — the record does not yet show a topping-out or a certificate of occupancy, and the two groundbreaking dates on record a year apart are reason enough to ask the sales team for the current construction schedule directly rather than relying on any published date, including this one. For a seller weighing whether pre-construction inventory here will compete with a resale listing nearby: with the building reported at roughly three-quarters sold, competition is currently limited to the developer’s remaining, larger-format units, not the full building.
Origin Residences Bay Harbor — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Origin Residences by Artefacto still selling?
As of a 9 July 2025 developer press release, 20 of the building’s 27 residences were reported sold, leaving roughly seven units of the building’s larger-format inventory.
What does a residence cost at Origin Residences?
Pricing reported for the building’s remaining inventory as of July 2025 was $3.8 million to $4.5 million, on units of 2,135 to 2,200 square feet. Earlier reporting from December 2023 listed a $1.39 million starting price on a wider size range; those units have very likely sold. Ask the sales team, Cervera Real Estate, for current availability and pricing.
Who is developing Origin Residences?
VDA Origin Miami, led by Mauricio Moya and Sergio Guzman, is a Chilean development firm building its first U.S. project. It is partnered with Artefacto, a Coral Gables furnishings brand, for interior design.
When will Origin Residences be complete?
The developer’s July 2025 press release states a late-2026 completion target. This research could not independently confirm construction progress against a permit record, so treat that date as the developer’s stated target rather than a verified schedule.
Has a construction loan been recorded for this project?
The developer’s own July 2025 press release reports a $30.5 million construction loan from S3 Capital. This research could not confirm that recording independently against the Miami-Dade Clerk’s Official Records — the Clerk’s search portal requires completing a bot-verification challenge that could not be completed in this research session.
What does the Miami-Dade County land record show for this site?
The Property Appraiser still classifies the parcel (folio 13-2227-001-0720) as vacant commercial land, assessed at $3,937,500 for 2026. That is a lagging classification, not evidence of the building’s actual construction status — the general contractor’s own site lists the project as in progress.
Does Origin Residences have private boat slips?
Yes — the development is reported to include a 10-slip private marina for a 27-residence building, one of the highest slip-to-home ratios among comparable Bay Harbor Islands buildings covered in this research.
