Three Residences a Floor, Just Inside the Gate
Marquesa is the first tower inside the Bay Colony gate and the first high-rise built there off the beach, completed by WCI in 1994: 39 residences on 15 floors at 8990 Bay Colony Drive, beside the Vizcaya villas, three to a floor with two penthouses at the top. Nine-foot ceilings, views west to the Gulf and south over the Clam Pass estuary, and a garden pool deck with fountains give it the feel of a small Mediterranean residence rather than a tower. Five residences sold between September 2024 and September 2026 at a median of $2.35 million, which makes Marquesa, with Mansion La Palma, the most accessible way to own in Bay Colony.

Marquesa Sales, September 2024 to September 2026
Five Marquesa residences closed in the two years to September 24, 2026, all between January and May 2025: a penthouse for $5.55 million and four residences of 2,005 to 2,610 square feet for $1.87 million to $2.7 million, at a median of $2.35 million and about $1,147 a square foot. None has closed since. On September 24, 2026, one 03-stack residence was offered at $2.495 million, about $956 a square foot, and three more came off the market unsold over the summer, asking $1.795 million to $2.775 million. For a buyer, that leaves real room to negotiate; for an owner, pricing to the 2025 sales rather than to earlier asking prices is what moves a residence.

Three Plans and Two Penthouses
Keeping Marquesa to 15 floors gave every residence nine-foot ceilings, and three homes to a floor means two of them are end residences with glass on more than one side. The 03 stack is the largest standard plan, with three separate lanais; the 01 stack, the other end residence, is next in size and has the most windows; the 02 stack between them is the smallest, laid out as two bedrooms and a den or as three bedrooms. Condition moves price more than floor here: two 02-stack residences a floor apart sold for $2.7 million and $1.87 million within four months of each other. Interiors range from original 1994 finishes to fully rebuilt homes with marble floors and custom bars.

Fees, Leasing and the Building
Recent Marquesa listings report total annual recurring fees of about $46,500 to $48,600 for an 02 residence, $57,000 to $60,000 for the 01 and 03 residences and about $70,000 for a penthouse, roughly $19 to $24 a square foot a year. Because the plans are small, that is closer to Contessa than to Remington per foot, even without a staffed front desk.
Florida’s condominium safety law requires buildings of three stories or more to complete a milestone structural inspection at 30 years (25 where the local building official requires it) and every 10 years after, and a structural integrity reserve study every 10 years, the first of which was due by December 31, 2025. Completed in 1994, Marquesa is past the 30-year mark, so ask for the latest milestone inspection report or its schedule, the reserve study, the budget and any planned special assessments with any contract. Resale buyers have seven days after receiving the condominium documents to cancel.
Marquesa permits one lease a year with a 90-day minimum. On September 24, 2026, two residences were offered for the season at $23,000 and $24,000 a month, and a third listing at $20,500 a month ended over the summer without a lease. Our Bay Colony seasonal rentals page covers the rules building by building, and the Bay Colony Market Report follows Marquesa’s sales each month.
Where Marquesa Sits in Bay Colony
Marquesa is number 11 on the map below, the first tower inside the Bay Colony gate, near the Vizcaya villas (14) at the edge of Upper Clam Bay. Toscana (10), Salerno (9), Mansion La Palma (8) and Trieste (7) run north from it on the Gulf-view side, and the six beachfront towers (1 to 6) and the Bay Colony Beach Club are to the west on the Gulf.

The Bay Colony Lifestyle
The pool sits on the southeast side of the building, away from the road, so the garden deck stays quiet even in season. The private Bay Colony Beach Club, with Gulf-front dining and chair and umbrella service, and the Bay Colony Tennis Club are a short distance along Bay Colony Drive; membership in both comes with the residence, along with Pelican Bay Foundation privileges, including the tram to the Pelican Bay beach. Waterside Shops, Artis—Naples and Mercato are minutes away. Compare Salerno and Toscana, the villas of Vizcaya next door, or all five Bay Colony Gulf-view condos side by side; for the least expensive way onto the beach, see Contessa.
