Bal Harbour was born of a vision of infinite possibility: a vision that has defined the community, making it an internationally renowned destination. Today, Bal Harbour is among the most elegant, exclusive and sought-after beach destinations in South Florida and beyond. Miami Beach Heights, a Detroit-based real estate development corporation purchased the raw land that would become Bal Harbour Village. Headed by visionary industrialist Robert Graham, along with associates Carl Fisher and Walter O. Briggs, they began the task of crafting a remarkable new community from the ground up. Today Bal Harbour lines the beach with beautiful buildings and the private islands boast some of the most luxurious homes in the world.
