What's new on Williams Island?
I've all the juicy "deets" for anyone who wants to know!
Cradled by Dumfoundling Bay and wrapped in old-world elegance, Williams Island boasts a signature mix of exclusivity, serenity, and yacht-club polish.
And yet, just a drive past the gates, the calm starts to give way to cranes, concepts, and a few buzzworthy newcomers, all giving the surrounding area a monumental glow-up!
Think high-rise debuts, restaurant arrivals, infrastructure fixes, and thoughtfully planned community upgrades — Williams Island is prepped and ready for its next chapter, looking sharper than ever.
Some updates are sleek, some are smart, and a few might change how you brunch.
So whether you're soaking in the marina views or scanning the skyline for what's next, we're giving you the down-low on everything fresh, flashy, and quietly game-changing in and around this paradise!
Here are 6 things new to watch for on Williams Island.

Hard Hats & High Standards — Williams Island's Glow-Up Is Right on Schedule!
Where: all around Williams Island
When: Happening Now!
As it turns out, even paradise likes a little upkeep.
You see, Williams Island is in the middle of a full-blown beauty refresh that comes with floor plans, city permits, and more than a few "Pardon Our Dust" signs, and we're about to see a version 2.0 soon!
Like the Island Club Pool Bar & Grill, for example.
A go-to for poolside lunch and casual cocktails, the Island Club Pool Bar & Grill quietly closed in late 2024 for a much-needed makeover, and once it reopens, residents can expect a fresher, sleeker space that matches the views — and the outfits.
Up the hill, the clubhouse underwent a $7.5 million renovation that brought updates to the café, tennis shop, and admin wing.
On the other side, the 4000 Building is getting a complete lifestyle upgrade with a new lobby, hallways, pool deck, elevators, and sparkling glass balconies, courtesy of a $30 million building-wide transformation.
Yes, owners are investing heavily — but what's a six-figure special assessment when your home's about to outshine the new builds next door?
If the future of Williams Island is anything like its past, this transformation will be polished, private, and poolside-ready, with better lighting and upgraded fixtures.

Tall, Gorgeous, and..., Fancy? Meet the Newest Neighbors of Williams Island!
Where: Aventura
When: 2025 - 2027
Tower cranes are edging into the skyline, glass facades are multiplying, and Williams Island now finds itself surrounded by a new class of neighbors — taller, glossier, and very well-funded.
First to the finish line: Avida Aventura (19401 W Dixie Hwy), a sleek rental community that opened in early 2025 next to the Brightline station.
With a rooftop amenity deck, modern apartments, and a location that screams "no car, no problem," Avida Aventura is a solid win for anyone looking for upscale, flexible living without a mortgage.
Next up — Modera Aventura (2681 NE 191st St), an upcoming retreat aiming to open later in 2025 with over 400 luxury rentals, resort-style amenities, and retail at the base, where you can do yoga, work remotely, and grab coffee without changing buildings.
Another build coming soon with a side of hotel vibes is Tal Aventura (2785 NE 183rd St).
Meant to be an "only condo" build, Tal Aventura is now evolving into a mixed-use tower with 93 residences and a proposed 224-room hotel built in.
While still under review, if approved, it'll be one of Aventura's first condo-hotel hybrids.
Then there's Viceroy Residences Aventura (2999 NE 191st St), launched just this year, a 28-story luxury tower that will bring 274 condos, a rooftop pool, wine lounge, wellness spa, and hospitality-level service for completion in 2027.
And finally, Avenia by Fendi Casa (20605 NE 34th Ave) — the most "boutique" of the bunch.
With only 22 waterfront residences with signature Fendi interiors, private lounges, and a price tag to match, this addition is one part real estate and one part fashion statement, expected to open by 2027!
Whether you're buying in, leasing up, or admiring the view from your balcony on Williams Island, it's clear — the neighborhood's getting taller, sleeker, and a whole lot more luxurious.

It's Not All Gold Trim and Valet Thanks to ONE Project That's Redefining Local Luxury!
Where: 18700 NE 25th Ave., Miami, FL 33180
When: 2025
While most new buildings around Williams Island are going big on branding and rooftop pools, one upcoming address is making a different kind of statement — and believe us, it's just as valuable.
Say hello to Oasis at Aventura, a new 95-unit development designed for seniors aged 62 and up!
Offering affordable, well-designed housing in a zip code not known for low price tags, Oasis at Aventura, built by Housing Trust Group with support from Alonzo Mourning's nonprofit, is set to open in 2025 with capped rents, a community center, fitness room, library, and outdoor terrace.
The location? It's two miles from Williams Island and a few minutes from Aventura Mall and the Brightline station, making it surprisingly central and connected.
Oasis may not have branded interiors or a marina, but it's offering something rarer in this market: stability, dignity, and the ability for longtime locals to stay rooted in the place they've always called home.
Indeed, not every development needs a penthouse to matter.

The Calm After the Cones — What's Aventura Cooking Around Williams Island?
Where: Aventura
When: Coming Soon
If you've noticed fewer brake lights and more construction cones near Williams Island lately, it's not just your imagination.
Aventura's giving its infrastructure a much-needed tune-up, and we have all the deets to keep you in the know!
At the top of the list is the new pedestrian bridge linking the Brightline station directly to Aventura Mall.
Once it opens, residents can cross Biscayne Boulevard without playing a real-life game of Frogger — ideal whether you're heading to brunch or catching a train to Fort Lauderdale.
Meanwhile, city officials are eyeing a realignment of NE 214th Street to improve flow between Biscayne and West Dixie Highway as new developments rise.
There's also an ongoing push to upgrade intersections around the William Lehman Causeway and surrounding streets, which means less waiting at lights and more coasting toward the Causeway in style.
Between the beautification plans, park enhancements, and smarter traffic patterns, Aventura is making quiet moves to keep up with its vertical growth.
And if it means fewer U-turns and smoother lefts into Williams Island, we'll take it.

Bright Lights, Bigger Bags, and a Barre Class in Between — The NEW Aventura Circuit, Revealed!
Where: Aventura
When: TBA
Think Aventura's shopping game had already peaked? Well, 2025 is here to politely disagree with receipts, from new storefronts to entire districts!
Yes, peeps, the area around Williams Island is stepping up its commercial and retail mix in all the right ways, starting with Esplanade at Aventura, the open-air lifestyle center next to Aventura Mall that keeps adding names you'll want to drop.
STK Steakhouse, The Salty, and a flagship LEGO Store have already moved in, and there's more on the way alongside regular live music, coworking lounges, and a Pure Barre studio for anyone mixing shopping with squats.
Across the street, Aventura Mall isn't staying quiet either — beyond Eataly's upcoming debut (more on this later), new luxury boutiques, events, and installations are keeping things fresh, like Balmain, Cinq à Sept, Baobab Collection, Yoga Fridays, and pet adoptions!
And while it's still on paper (for now), Aventura is also weighing plans for an "Aventura North" mixed-use district near NE 214th Street.
Picture offices, retail, and residences woven into one modern pocket of the neighborhood, turning underused lots into walkable buzz!
Together, these projects are creating new ways to live, move, and shop just minutes from Williams Island, which is good news… unless you're trying to resist impulse buys.

Where to Eat Next (and Next, and Next) — Presenting the Newest Dining Spots Around Williams Island!
Where: Aventura Mall & Esplanade at Aventura
When: Spring 2025 (and TBA)
If your takeout routine is starting to feel like a playlist stuck on repeat, the local dining scene is about to shake things up — and no, it's not just another poke bowl spot.
On the contrary, we're talking about headliners like Eataly (19501 Biscayne Blvd, Suite 300), which is FINALLY opening its doors this spring in Aventura Mall!
Think two levels of Italian everything — sit-down restaurants, a grocery market, fresh pasta counters, and probably more olive oil options than you'll know what to do with.
It's dinner, a cooking class, and a snack run all in one.
And if you love ending a meal with candy from a shop that looks like a rainbow exploded, you'll be pleased to know that Captain Candy (19501 Biscayne Blvd) is opening their first U.S. location in Aventura Mall, too!
Down the road, Esplanade at Aventura (19505 Biscayne Blvd) is still building out its roster — STK Steakhouse (Suite 415) has already landed with its upscale energy, and The Salty Donut (Suite 193) rolled in soon after with donuts.
Oh, and there's more coming — they're keeping it quiet, but we'll get the down-low soon!
Good luck blaming dinner indecision on a lack of choice!
