The much-anticipated Paramount Bay development has an interesting character at the heart of its design: rock star Lenny Kravitz. Kravitz is the founder of Kravitz Design Inc., the firm which has been brought in to create a fresh, invigorating aesthetic for the 47-story bayfront property. Public spaces boast luxury touches such as walnut and marble detailing, as well as stunning fountains and gardens. Paramount Bay will include over 340 residences, two pool decks, a movie screen and other amenities which add to its beach-meets-city style; 877.840.1346, ParamountBay.com.
