Icon Bay is a tall apartment building located in the Edgewater area of Miami, Florida. It has about 300 apartments spread across 42 floors. The building was finished in 2015.
In exchange for using a part of a city street that leads to Biscayne Bay, the builders created a small public park. This park is a nice addition for everyone to enjoy. In 2016, Icon Bay was recognized as one of the best new skyscrapers in the world, earning sixth place in the annual Emporis awards.

What Makes Icon Bay Special?
Smart Design for Living
The people who designed Icon Bay wanted each apartment to have good airflow. They made sure each unit has windows on two or three sides. This design helps fresh air move through the apartments easily.
Unique Balcony Look

Apartment Choices
Icon Bay offers 300 different apartments. You can find units with one, two, or three bedrooms. This gives people many choices for how they want to live in the building.
