Overview
Venetian Islands, Miami Beach
The Venetian Islands are a chain of man-made islands strung along the Venetian Causeway between Miami and Miami Beach — a walkable, low-rise enclave that pairs 1920s Mediterranean originals with restrained contemporary new-builds. Every parcel fronts Biscayne Bay or its lagoons, which makes seawalls, docks, and elevation central to any build. The islands fall under City of Miami Beach jurisdiction, with design review and, on the older stock, historic-preservation considerations that shape what can be torn down and how a replacement is massed.
Why Sabal in Venetian Islands
Why Sabal in Venetian Islands
Sabal has built on the Venetian Islands — including 1369 and 1370 N/S Venetian Way — so we know the bay's seawall and dock permitting, the Miami Beach design-review expectations, and how flood elevation interacts with the low, walkable streetscape the islands are loved for. That experience is what keeps a waterfront build from stalling between the city and the water.

Frequently asked
Building in Venetian Islands.
- Are the Venetian Islands waterfront?
- Yes — the islands are man-made and nearly every lot fronts Biscayne Bay or an interior lagoon. New construction involves seawall condition, dock permitting, and FEMA flood-elevation design from the outset.
- Who reviews construction on the Venetian Islands?
- The City of Miami Beach, through its building and design-review process. Older homes may carry historic-preservation considerations that affect demolition and massing, which we confirm before a teardown.
- Has Sabal built on the Venetian Islands?
- Yes. Sabal has delivered residences on the islands, including projects on North and South Venetian Way, and works fluently with Miami Beach's review and the bay's seawall and dock permitting.
- What does building cost on the Venetian Islands?
- Waterfront custom construction here generally runs $550 to $1,000 per square foot, excluding land, architecture, interiors, landscape, seawall, and dock.
