Apogee South Beach: The Full-Floor Tower at the Tip of SoFi

Apogee South Beach is a 22-story, 67-residence tower at 800 South Pointe Drive, completed in 2008 by architect Sieger Suarez for The Related Group. Every residence occupies a full floor, with private two-car garages, 11-foot ceilings and flow-through terraces. Our directory's research puts the building near $2,400 per square foot as of August 2, 2026.

Sixty-seven doors is the whole design

Most of what makes Apogee unusual follows from one number: 67 residences spread across 22 floors. That is roughly three homes per floor's worth of density in a market where oceanfront towers routinely carry 200 to 400 units, and it is the reason the building reads the way it does. Fewer residences means fewer elevator stops, fewer people in the amenity spaces, and a lobby that behaves more like a private building than a resort.

Our directory records the residences as full-floor layouts in a 3- to 5-bedroom range. A full-floor plan means exposure on every side of the building rather than a single orientation, which is the practical difference between a corner unit and a floor: light and view from multiple directions, and no shared demising wall with a neighbor.

The building profile, including the amenity and scoring detail we track, is at /buildings/apogee-south-beach.

What the residences actually include

Three features in our building record are worth reading closely, because they are the ones that rarely appear together.

The first is the private two-car garage. Apogee's parking levels are configured so residences have their own enclosed garage rather than assigned spaces in a shared deck — a meaningful distinction in a beach building where parking is contested and storage is scarce.

The second is ceiling height. Our record lists 11-foot ceilings, which is above the typical 9- to 10-foot standard in Miami condo construction of the same era, and it changes how the glass reads from inside.

The third is the terrace. Our data describes 10- to 16-foot flow-through terraces with summer kitchens. Flow-through means the terrace runs from one side of the residence to the other, so the outdoor space is usable at different times of day rather than only when the sun cooperates on a single exposure.

The design and development pedigree

Sieger Suarez served as both architect and interior designer on Apogee, and The Related Group developed it, with completion in 2008. That combination matters for diligence in a specific way: a building finished in 2008 is now well past its initial warranty period and into the part of its life where the association's reserve position, not the developer's reputation, determines what ownership costs.

Our directory lists HOA dues at roughly $1.70 per square foot per month as a research figure. On a full-floor residence that is a substantial monthly number, and it is the single line item most worth verifying against the association's actual current budget rather than any published estimate, ours included.

What our price research shows, and what it does not

Our directory's research puts Apogee's range at roughly $6 million to $40 million, with an average near $2,400 per square foot as of August 2, 2026. Treat those as our directory's estimates, not as live comparables — they are periodic research figures, not a feed of current transactions. Miami condo figures across our site are compiled the same way and are summarized at /market-stats.

We do not operate an MLS feed in Miami, so any listing figures you see on our Miami pages are clearly labeled samples rather than live inventory. For an actual current price on a specific residence, the number has to come from a licensed agent pulling live data — which is the point at which we hand you to one.

How it compares inside South of Fifth

Apogee sits in South of Fifth, the residential wedge below Fifth Street at the southern tip of South Beach, and it is best understood next to its neighbors rather than in isolation. Continuum South Beach, directly adjacent on the same southern point, is the large-format comparison — a two-tower resort-scale property with a full amenity deck and a far larger owner base; its profile is at /buildings/continuum-south-beach. Murano Grande, a few blocks north along the bay, is the mid-density alternative at /buildings/murano-grande.

The trade is legible once you see the three together. Apogee offers the most privacy and the fewest neighbors; the larger buildings offer deeper amenity programs and more frequent trading, which means more comparable sales when it is time to value your unit. Neither is strictly better. The neighborhood context is at /neighborhoods/south-of-fifth, and the fuller area guide is at /blog/south-of-fifth-condo-guide.

What to verify before you write an offer

Four things, in order. Pull the association's current budget and reserve study, because a 2008 building's reserve funding level is the best predictor of future special assessments. Confirm the building's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study status under Florida's post-Surfside requirements. Ask what the two-car garage conveys as — deeded, limited common element, or assigned — since that affects both value and what you can do with it. And read the last two years of board minutes for any discussion of facade, window or garage work.

We are a research directory, not a brokerage. We do not list on the MLS, negotiate offers or close transactions; when you are ready to act on a specific residence, we introduce you to a licensed partner agent who can pull the live data and order the documents above.
