Fisher Island Waterfront Condos: Six Fisher Island and The Links Estates on the Water

Fisher Island sits just off the southern tip of Miami Beach, reached by ferry, private boat or the island's heliport. It is, in MILLION's description, essentially a closed system: unlike other luxury enclaves that can still sprawl outward, it has a finite supply of land. Earlier waves of development were already highly curated, culminating in the boutique condominium buildings Palazzo del Sol and Palazzo della Luna. MILLION notes that those buildings set benchmarks for scale, finishes and services and sold through quickly.

That scarcity shapes how buyers should read the island's new projects. MILLION reports that The Residences at Six Fisher Island and The Links Estates at Fisher Island account for the last planned residential sites within the island's traditional master plan. For a buyer who wants a newly built home with water on the doorstep, the choice is therefore narrow, and the useful question is not which tower is newest but how each project meets the shoreline, and what each offers on the water.

MILLION describes the site of The Residences at Six Fisher Island as Fisher Island's last true waterfront development site. The address is 6 Fisher Island Drive. According to BH Group, one of the development partners, the building stands on the northern shoreline of the island. MILLION adds that the expansive site has generous shoreline, which gives most homes views toward Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline or the Atlantic and maximizes separation from neighboring structures.

That setting is the project's main distinction on the water. Rather than infilling among existing buildings, Six Fisher occupies a parcel with its own frontage and its own sightlines, and the building is conceived as a capstone. MILLION describes it as a ten-story tower with around 50 residences and a service program that reads more like an ultra-bespoke resort than a traditional South Florida tower. BH Group's project page likewise lists ten stories and 50 units.

The team is substantial. MILLION lists Related Group, Teddy Sagi, BH Group and Wanxiang America RE Group as the development team, with architecture by Kobi Karp and interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners. Buyers comparing it with older oceanfront buildings on the island will find the difference is as much about site and design authorship as about age.

MILLION reports that standard residences at Six Fisher span roughly 3,872 to 8,404 square feet, with larger configurations possible. BH Group's project page gives an average of about 4,800 square feet per unit. These are developer-side and editorial descriptions, and buyers should confirm the floor plan, view orientation and terrace dimensions of any specific residence in the current plans before relying on them.

On timing, MILLION reports that construction broke ground in September 2024 and that completion is expected in 2026, while advising buyers to confirm the latest schedule. BH Group's project page, by contrast, states an expected completion in the first quarter of 2027. The gap between the two is a reminder to ask the sales team for the current delivery window in writing and to understand how it is defined in the purchase documents.

Life on Fisher Island is organized around water transport. MILLION frames Six Fisher as pairing a private-island address with ferry-based access to Miami Beach, and BH Group says the project's amenities include private boat transport for residents to and from the island, access to the island's heliport and a 24-hour butler. Because the island has no bridge, the practical rhythm of any residence here is set by these crossings, and it is worth asking how the boat service is scheduled, who operates it and whether it is part of the building's offering or the wider island's.

The crossing lands residents in Miami Beach, and the southern tip of South Beach, South of Fifth, is the closest neighborhood on the other side of the water. That proximity is the island's appeal for owners who want seclusion without giving up the city. Buyers with their own vessels should ask specifically about dockage and marina access for the project, since the sources describe the shoreline and boat service but do not detail slip availability.

The Links Estates at Fisher Island is the other project MILLION places among the island's last planned residential sites. Where Six Fisher is a single, shoreline-fronting tower, the name and the island's master plan point to a different kind of offering, with its own place within the island's grounds rather than a capstone building on the northern edge. The published material available on the project is thinner than for Six Fisher, so specifics on home types, sizes, dock access, delivery timing and pricing should come from the developer, not be assumed.

For a buyer, the sensible approach is to ask the same questions of both projects: where exactly is the home relative to the shoreline, which water is it oriented toward (Biscayne Bay, the Atlantic or the channel), what is the elevation and storm design as documented in the plans, and what are the club and marina privileges that come with ownership. Comparing the answers side by side is the best way to see what truly sets The Links Estates apart from Six Fisher Island.

Not every idea for the island is settled. A development group led by HRP Group, with Related Group and Raycliff Capital, has announced plans to replace Fisher Island's fuel terminal with a new condominium. The proposal has run into a dispute: the Fisher Island Community Association has filed a lawsuit, and the fuel terminal serves PortMiami and is viewed by county officials as critical infrastructure. Until that matter is resolved, it should be treated as a proposal rather than an active, deliverable project.

The broader point is that Fisher Island's inventory of newly built waterfront homes is limited by geography and by a master plan that is nearly complete. MILLION suggests the island's future is less about new volume and more about stewardship, including refreshing older buildings, upgrading club amenities and investing in resilience measures tailored to the waterfront setting. Buyers weighing a new development against a resale in an established building such as Palazzo del Sol or Palazzo della Luna are choosing between a newer design and a proven, already built address.

Start with the site. Ask each developer for a site plan showing the shoreline, the orientation of every residence and any structures that could affect views. Then ask for the current construction schedule and the contract language on delivery. Confirm which services, such as boat transport, heliport access and concierge or butler service, are included in ownership and which are charged separately.

Finally, visit the island by the same ferry residents use. The crossing, the arrival and the walk to the shoreline tell you more about daily life than any rendering. Denis Smykalov and the Wolsen Waterfront team can help organize those questions for waterfront buyers who want to compare Fisher Island's new developments against other Miami-Dade waterfront options.
