Laser is a small, 1975 building on a residential block of South of Fifth, in the southernmost part of Miami Beach. It has 19 homes and no pool, spa or fitness room. What it offers is location and scale: 19 neighbors, a low building, and a short walk to South Pointe Park, the beach and the restaurants on Washington Avenue.

That puts it in a different category from the large oceanfront towers a few blocks south and east. There is no amenity program, and a 19-unit association spreads every capital project across few owners.

It was built in 1975, well before the South of Fifth tower construction of the late 1990s and 2000s.

South of Fifth is the neighborhood at the southern tip of Miami Beach, below Fifth Street. The Atlantic is on the east, Government Cut on the south and Biscayne Bay on the west, so the area is bounded by water on three sides. Its southern end is South Pointe Park, a 17-acre park with a waterfront promenade, lawns and beach access.

Jefferson Avenue runs through the residential blocks of the neighborhood. The area mixes older low-rise buildings such as Laser with towers built from the late 1990s on, including Portofino Tower, Murano at Portofino, Apogee South Beach and Continuum. The park, the beach, restaurants and Washington Avenue are all close, and the area is a short drive from the rest of South Beach, the MacArthur Causeway and Downtown Miami.

Laser has 19 residences in a low-rise building. Get the floor plan and the association's size schedule before comparing any two units on a square-foot basis.

Garage spaces are attached to some residences; where they sit affects use and price.

Laser has no amenity program. There is no pool, spa or fitness room. Common expenses cover the structure, insurance, common-area upkeep and reserves.

Florida's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules apply to condominium buildings of three or more stories; ask whether the building falls under the rules, and ask for any inspection report, reserve study, repair scope, special assessment, loan or planned capital project.

Pet, rental and minimum-lease rules are set by the association; confirm at offer stage.

One recorded sale, July 2025, at $590,000. It is one sale, not a building price.

Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

Request the inspection and reserve documents first. Ask for the inspection report, the structural integrity reserve study, the current reserve balance and any assessment history.

Check parking. Garage spaces are attached to some residences. Find out whether yours conveys with the unit or is assigned, and in which form.

Get leasing rules in writing. If you plan to rent the unit, get the minimum lease term, any cap and the application process.

Price against like plans. Use trades of the same bedroom count and parking arrangement, not the highest recent sale.

Have the association documents ready. Budget, reserve study, inspection report and any assessment shorten diligence in a small building.
