<p>Since the 1920s, the Detroit-based Miami Beach Heights Corporation – headed by industrialists&nbsp;Robert C. Graham,&nbsp;Walter O. Briggs, and&nbsp;Carl G. Fisher&nbsp;– owned 245 acres (0.99&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>) of undeveloped, partially swampy land that stretched from the bay to the Atlantic. Mr. Graham assumed the duties as the developer for Bal Harbour. In the 1930s, city planners&nbsp;Harland Bartholomew&nbsp;&amp; Associates were called in to design the Village. The company made several plans, and they were submitted to the Miami Beach Heights for review.</p><p>The original name chosen for Bal Harbour was Bay Harbour. However, the planning committee didn't think that was appropriate for a city that was on the beach. A name was invented to encompass a village that ran from the bay to the Atlantic Ocean. The&nbsp;<em>b</em>&nbsp;was taken from the word&nbsp;<em>bay</em>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<em>a</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>l</em>&nbsp;were taken from the name Atlantic. Hence the word&nbsp;<em>Bal</em>&nbsp;was created.</p><p>In 1940, World War II began, and the plans were put on hold. As a goodwill gesture to the government, Robert C. Graham rented the land to the United States Air Corps for $1 per year. The Air Corps used this land to train their soldiers and established a&nbsp;Prisoner of War camp. The ocean front area was used as a&nbsp;rifle range&nbsp;and the barracks were set up on the west side of Collins Avenue. The camp for prisoners was located where the Bal Harbour Shops are presently.</p>

<p>Hugging the shoreline of Biscayne Bay, Coconut Grove is an upscale, leafy neighborhood with relaxed sidewalk cafes and chic shops in and around the CocoWalk mall. The area's several green spaces include bay-front Barnacle Historic State Park, home to a mangrove forest, and the iconic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, centered on a lavish Italian-style villa. Sailing clubs and marinas dot the waterfront.</p>

<p>La Gorce Island is located in the center of Miami Beach, only minutes from the busy district of South Beach, which offers a unique mix of dining, entertainment, and shopping. The Miami International Airport, Downtown Miami, the Design District, and Coconut Grove are all about a 20-minute drive from La Gorce Island</p><p>La Gorce Island is a private tropical refuge located near Miami Beach, Florida, amid the magnificent seas of Biscayne Bay. The inner residences on this private island are just as gorgeous as the beachfront homes, with their design, lush vegetation, and verdant appeal. Many of La Gorce Island's magnificent houses have their own private docks with breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. "It is a haven for pleasure-bent and health-seeking persons," stated John Oliver La Gorce, a pioneer in the construction of Miami Beach, to neatly define the island lifestyle.</p>
