Why Sapphire Nobe matters
Sapphire Nobe is a 12-residence condominium built in 1951 on Rue Vendome in North Beach, Miami Beach. "Nobe" is the local short form of North Beach.
The building sits in flood zone AE. Ask about inspection and reserve obligations and about flood and windstorm insurance. With 12 homes, each owner carries a large share of any repair.
North Beach and Rue Vendome
Rue Vendome is in the Normandy Isle part of North Beach, where French-named streets, canals and low-rise 1940s and 1950s buildings give the blocks a consistent scale. The Normandy Fountain commercial area, the 71st Street corridor, the golf course and the North Shore beach and park are all close. Collins Avenue and the oceanfront are a short drive east. The neighborhood is residential, low-rise and mixed between condominiums, rental buildings and small single-family houses.
Miami Beach flood and seawall programs apply here; ask what the city and the association have done on drainage and sea walls on the block.
Architecture and unit composition
Get the floor plan and the association's size schedule before comparing units.
Ask for the age of the roof, the electrical service, plumbing risers and windows.
Building operations
Ask whether the building falls under Florida's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules. Ask for:
- the current budget and the last two years of financial statements
- the structural integrity reserve study and milestone inspection report, and the status of any repairs they call for
- reserve balances, any special assessment, and any loan the association carries
- the master insurance policy, including windstorm and flood coverage and the deductible
- the elevation certificate or any flood mitigation work
Policy framework
Pet, rental and minimum-lease rules are set by the association; confirm at offer stage. Ask for the application process and fees.
Sales context
Price evidence comes from small North Beach condominiums of similar age and from unit-level trades in this building.
Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
What to know if you're buying at Sapphire Nobe
Get the insurance quote before you make an offer. Flood and windstorm premiums in an AE-zone building affect monthly cost.
Read the reserve and inspection documents. With 12 owners, a single assessment is large per unit.
Check financing. Lenders review small associations closely for owner-occupancy, delinquencies and reserves. Ask your lender before you commit.

Recorded sales history
Recorded transfers for this building in Miami-Dade County public records, back to Mar 2012. Prices reflect the recorded consideration; transfers the Property Appraiser does not qualify as arms-length are shown unmarked. Nominal-consideration paper transfers (deeds into trusts and LLCs, estate and family transfers, corrective deeds) are part of the record but not sales, and are omitted from this table. Recording lags closing, so the newest sales can take several weeks to appear.
