The William: A 374-Residence Condo in North Miami Beach

The William rises at 2040 NE 163rd Street in North Miami Beach, on a 1.1-acre site that an affiliate of Blue Road and Ilia Development Group acquired for $7.5 million in November 2022. According to The Real Deal, the project replaces a two-story office building completed in 1968, in an area of one-story strip malls, fast-food restaurants, and low-to-mid-rise apartments. The 163rd Street corridor was upzoned by North Miami Beach in the 2010s, which is why a tower of this height pencils here at all.

The plan is a 26-story building with 374 residences, designed by Coral Gables-based Behar Font and Partners with Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott as design consultant and Miami Beach designer Urban Robot leading interiors. Units run from studios to three bedrooms, roughly 590 to 1,721 square feet across a wide line mix. According to the project's published details, residences include imported porcelain flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, glass balconies, Italkraft kitchens with Bosch appliances, and Hansgrohe bathroom fixtures. Pricing starts at $450,000 for studios, $510,000 for one-bedrooms, $720,000 for two-bedrooms, and $1.2 million for three-bedrooms; The Real Deal reported a presale range of $380,000 to $1 million at the September 2025 launch.

Amenities run more than 40,000 square feet. The developer describes a resort-style pool, fitness and yoga studios, coworking lounges, a children's play area, and a rooftop with pickleball courts and sunset views. The revised site plan places a ninth-floor amenity deck with a pool, club room, office areas, and a gym, and a 25th-floor pickleball court, per The Real Deal. The building also carries 4,500 square feet of retail and 448 parking spaces, and permits 30-day minimum rentals, which the developer markets as an investment feature.

The project history matters for how confident a buyer can be in the timeline. Blue Road and Ilia launched sales in September 2025. On June 22, 2026, the North Miami Beach City Commission approved a revised site plan that raised the residence count from 344 to 374 and eliminated 30 planned hotel rooms, growing the building to 650,384 square feet from the 576,500-square-foot mixed-use plan approved in 2022. The developers' attorney told The Real Deal that 23 percent of units were already presold, and they plan to start construction by early 2027. The William is named for William Fulford, a U.S. Coast Guard captain who founded a settlement in what became North Miami Beach in the late 19th century.

This is not a luxury Miami pre-construction tower, which is my core focus. It is a mid-market North Miami Beach condo, and I cover it because it is the clearest read on where the 163rd Street corridor and entry-level Miami-Dade pricing are heading.
