Why Tower House matters

It is a 1974 Mid-Beach condominium with typical residences of about 2,800 to 3,100 square feet, two to four bedrooms.

The building sits on the bay side of Collins Avenue with Intracoastal frontage and a boat dock.

Mid-Beach

Mid-Beach is the stretch of Miami Beach between South Beach and North Beach, the middle of the barrier island. Collins Avenue carries the hotel row, including the Fontainebleau a short distance south of the building. The bay side, where Tower House sits, is residential, with condominiums, single-family streets and the Indian Creek and Intracoastal waterfront behind them. The ocean is a short walk across Collins Avenue.

Architecture and unit composition

Tower House was built in 1974 as a single condominium tower. The tower has 22 floors.

Floor plans are large two-, three- and four-bedroom residences. The standard plans run about 2,800 to 3,100 square feet, with some smaller layouts near 1,300 to 2,000 square feet and combined residences much larger. Check interior area against the association's schedule and the floor plan, since quoted figures for the same unit can differ.

Confirm condition and renovation scope unit by unit.

Building operations

The building has a doorman, on-site security and a secure lobby, with covered, assigned, guest and valet parking. The amenity package is a heated pool, sauna, hot tub, exercise room, tennis court, a shared community room and kitchen, and a boat dock. Ask about slip availability, ownership and fees.

Florida's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules apply to condominium buildings of three or more stories, and this tower has 22. Ask for the inspection report, the reserve study and reserve funding, any special assessment passed or proposed, the master insurance renewal and the current budget before pricing the unit. The flood zone is AE, so ask about flood coverage on the master policy and on the unit.

Policy framework

Policies, fees and applications, including pet, rental and minimum-lease rules, are set by the association. Rental restrictions apply to this building; ask for the minimum lease term and the approval process.

Sales context

Condition is a pricing variable; compare original and renovated residences of the same plan separately.

One recorded sale, April 2026, at $2,025,000. 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.

What to know if you're buying at Tower House

Price against condition. Compare renovated to renovated and original to original. A blended building average misleads.

Read the reserve study first. Funding and inspection findings bear on the carrying cost.

Confirm the rental terms. If you plan to lease the unit, get the written rule and any approval process before the offer.

What to know if you're selling at Tower House

Have the documents ready. Milestone inspection, reserve study, budget and financials shorten diligence.

Document the renovation. Permits, plans and dates support the price.

Recorded sales history

Recorded transfers for this building in Miami-Dade County public records, back to Sep 1974. 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.

Figures are reported as recorded and may be updated as the county updates its records. This page is informational and is not an offer or solicitation. Apartment estimates are automated, from public records, and are not appraisals.
