9101 E Bay Harbor Dr

The Mediterranean is a midcentury Miami Modern (MiMo) waterfront co-op completed in 1957 and rising ten stories along the Indian Creek waterway in Bay Harbor Islands. Architect Herbert Mathes shaped its streamlined façade and waterfront orientation; the building’s massing reads as a compact tower with terraces and balconies that capture bay and ocean panoramas. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts and convertible one-bedplans with generous terraces and large windows that maximize cross-ventilation and natural light. Interior finishes commonly include tile or porcelain floors, remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, built-in storage and walk-in closets; many residences have been updated with impact windows, modern appliances and custom cabinetry while retaining period MiMo character. Common areas emphasize outdoor living: a bayfront saltwater pool with adjoining deck and BBQ area, marina slips and kayak launch/storage, courtyard and landscaped patios. Practical building systems recently completed include 40-year recertification work, seawall replacement and SIRS corrections, with on-site management and elevator service. Resident conveniences include covered parking, individual storage units on-floor, laundry areas, and security features such as storm shutters and high-impact doors. The location at the southern tip of Bay Harbor Islands places the building within walking distance of Bal Harbour Shops, beaches, restaurants and the highly rated Ruth K. Broad K-8 school, offering a walkable, water-oriented island lifestyle close to Miami Beach and regional airports.
