Belle Plaza is a waterfront condominium located at 20 Island Avenue on Belle Isle, the easternmost of Miami Beach's Venetian Islands. Completed in 1962, the 16-story building contains 226 residences and was designed by T. Trip Russell & Associates, associated with The Russell Partnership.
The building occupies a prominent position directly on Biscayne Bay, providing views of the bay, Belle Isle, Downtown Miami, and the Miami Beach skyline. Higher-floor residences may also offer distant Atlantic Ocean views depending on their orientation.
Belle Plaza offers studios and one-, two-, and select three-bedroom residences. Floor plans range from approximately 592 to more than 1,500 square feet. Large windows provide natural light, while many residences feature private balconies with space for outdoor seating and dining.
Because Belle Plaza has been established for several decades, individual residences have undergone varying levels of renovation. Updated units may feature porcelain tile or wood flooring, impact-resistant windows, contemporary kitchens with stone countertops and stainless-steel appliances, upgraded bathrooms, walk-in closets, and modern communications and entertainment systems.
The building's waterfront amenities include a heated swimming pool overlooking Biscayne Bay, whirlpool, spacious sun deck, and landscaped relaxation areas. An outdoor barbecue and picnic area provides additional space for dining and entertaining.
Recreational and wellness amenities include a fitness center, sauna, and tennis court. Residents also have access to a lobby and common areas for gatherings and receiving guests.
Belle Plaza provides waterfront dockage and a bayfront deck, with use and availability subject to current condominium rules. Additional conveniences include paddleboard and bicycle storage, laundry facilities, assigned parking, valet service, and 24-hour security.
The condominium is directly across from Belle Isle Park, which provides green space, walking and jogging paths, and recreational areas. Sunset Harbour's restaurants, cafés, shops, fitness studios, and grocery stores are also nearby.
The Venetian Causeway connects Belle Isle with mainland Miami to the west and Miami Beach to the east. Lincoln Road and the broader shopping, dining, cultural, and entertainment destinations of South Beach are a short distance from the property.
