Members of the RPPTL Real Estate Society recently had the chance to enjoy an exclusive look at Tula Residences, a 21-story luxury waterfront condominium rising in North Bay Village. Overlooking the bay, Tula will feature a limited collection of spacious corner residences with sweeping glass terraces and resort-style amenities designed to highlight Miami’s indoor–outdoor lifestyle. From the stunning bayfront pool deck and wellness center to the residents’ lounge and waterfront promenade, the project reflects both high-end design and thoughtful planning.
Our group was hosted by Madison Napoles of Brown Harris Stevens, who did a phenomenal job bringing the project to life for us. She walked us through detailed floor plans, helped us visualize how future residents will live in the space, and guided us through the concrete skeleton of the building, where we captured the vision to picture finished kitchens, bedrooms, and common areas. Madison also took time to show us the surrounding neighborhood, explaining how much North Bay Village is poised to transform, what new projects are coming, and how this area is steadily unraveling into one of Miami’s most exciting pockets for waterfront development. A highlight of the visit was looking out west onto the waters and watching dolphins swim through the bay right in front of us, an unforgettable reminder of how special this location is.
From a RPPTL perspective, this visit was more than just a building tour; it was a real-time lesson in how law, development, and community intersect. For students interested in real estate, having hands-on exposure to projects like Tula Residences is crucial. Being on-site turns abstract concepts, like condominium governance, disclosures, and risk allocation, into something tangible you can see, touch, and walk through. It also grounds our legal education in what is happening in our own backyard, as Miami continues to transform through vertical growth, neighborhood revitalization, and waterfront development.
We are truly grateful to LAFAC for generously funding a charter bus, which made it possible for students from across campus to attend. We are also grateful to Madison and her team for opening the doors to Tula Residences and for giving RPPTL members a front-row seat to the evolution of our city’s skyline.
