Centro Downtown Condominium Association Guide: 151 SE 1st Street, Miami

Who Centro Downtown Condominium Association is on the state, Sunbiz and county files, what its October 2026 reinstatement means, how 352 registered units become 358 county records, and which Centro is which.

Centro Downtown Condominium Association is the association Florida registers for Centro, a 352-unit condominium at 151 SE 1st Street, Miami 33131, project PR75878, managing-entity number MA70937. Sunbiz showed the corporation, document N13000003812, as active on November 4, 2026, after a reinstatement filed October 23, 2026.

This guide reads the DBPR condominium extract for Miami-Dade, downloaded November 4, 2026, Sunbiz's live record, read that day, and Miami-Dade County's condominium parcel layer, also queried that day. Eltherion, LLC publishes Miami Condo HQ as research; it is neither this association nor its manager.

Two Centros on the state file

Only two condominiums in the DBPR file have Centro in their names. "CENTRO, A CONDO" is the downtown building, with its association on file as "CENTRO DOWNTOWN CONDO ASSN INC". "CENTRO CONDO", project PR70400, is a 10-unit condominium on East 4th Street in Hialeah, with a separate association, Centro Condo Assn Inc, number MA65332.

The county's wording makes this easy to confuse. Miami-Dade's parcel records describe the downtown units as "CENTRO CONDO", the same words DBPR uses for the Hialeah project. A folio beginning 01-4138-153 or a 33131 ZIP code points to the downtown building.

What DBPR and Sunbiz each record

DBPR shows file 78037, status Approved and Recorded, with the declaration recorded July 24, 2013. Its route line sends mail care of an individual identified as president at 151 SE 1st Street, Suite 202. Neither DBPR nor Sunbiz names a management company, and a care-of line does not establish who runs the building today. The state record summary is at /condo-associations/centro-pr75878.

Sunbiz shows a Florida not-for-profit corporation filed April 22, 2013, about three months before the declaration, under the name Centro Downtown Condominium Association Inc. Its principal address is 151 SE 1st Street and its mailing address adds Suite 202. The registered agent is Lauren Luck, P.A., at 175 SW 7 Street, Suite 2003, Miami 33130.

Why an older file may call it inactive

Sunbiz's filing history shows an annual report for every year from 2014 through 2025, the last filed February 10, 2025, then a reinstatement and a 2026 annual report, both filed October 23, 2026. The current status reads active.

That sequence matters if you pull older data. The Division of Corporations' quarterly bulk file dated October 7, 2026 lists the corporation as inactive with 2025 as its latest report year, and our state record summary draws on that file, so it can show the older status until the data is refreshed. Read the live record rather than any copy.

The statutes explain the general mechanics. Section 617.1420(1)(a) lets the Department of State begin dissolving a not-for-profit corporation that has not filed by the third Friday in September, and section 617.1421(1) sets that dissolution for the fourth Friday, which in 2026 was September 25. Section 617.1421(3) says an administratively dissolved corporation continues to exist but may conduct only the affairs needed to wind up, and section 617.1422 says a reinstatement relates back as if the dissolution never occurred. The detail page lists the reinstatement without stating its reason, and we have not read the filing itself.

The condominium is a separate matter. DBPR lists the project as Approved and Recorded with MA70937 as its managing entity, and section 718.111(1)(a) requires the operating association to be a Florida corporation. If a lender, title agent or attorney asks about the status, give them document number N13000003812 and the reinstatement filing, which Sunbiz offers as a PDF.

352 homes, 358 county records

Under parent folio 01-4138-153-0001 the county returned 358 unit records, six more than DBPR's 352, and the arithmetic explains the gap. Numbered units run on floors 4 to 35, skipping 13, at 11 per floor, which makes 341. Eleven penthouse records, PH01 to PH11, bring that to 352. The other six are labeled CU-1, CU-2, CU-3, CU-5, CU-6 and CU-7. The county does not define CU; the declaration should.

Each penthouse description gives a former number, 3601 through 3611, and cites a second recording at Official Records Book 30056, Page 3253, beside the declaration at Book 28739, Page 2632. The parent record uses 161 SE 1 St and an 18,450-square-foot lot, while every unit sits at 151 SE 1 St with a year built of 2016.

How the percentages split the budget

Each legal description states an undivided percentage of the common elements, and the 11 unit lines repeat floor by floor. The 06 line is smallest at 0.187083 percent and the 01 line largest at 0.425070 percent, about 2.27 times as much. The six CU records carry 7.55 percent together.

Section 718.104(4)(f) bases residential shares in condominiums created after April 1, 1992 on square footage or on equal fractions. Centro's are unequal, which fits a square-footage basis, though the county does not label it. Section 718.115(2) makes each unit's share of common expenses match its ownership interest.

The county figures add to 100.40 percent rather than 100, and units 1508 and 410 differ from their lines in the final digits. Take your unit's number from the declaration's exhibit.

Reserve and inspection dates for a 2016 building

Section 553.899(3)(a) requires a milestone inspection by December 31 of the year a residential condominium building of three habitable stories or more reaches 30 years from its certificate of occupancy. If Centro's certificate dates from 2016, the county's year built, the first would be due by December 31, 2046. Confirm the certificate date with the City of Miami, the county's site city.

Section 718.112(2)(g)1. requires a structural integrity reserve study at least every 10 years after the condominium's creation, and subparagraph 7 set December 31, 2025 for associations that existed by July 1, 2022 and were controlled by unit owners other than the developer. None of our files shows when the developer turned over control, so ask for the study and its date. Our explainer is at /blog/miami-condo-milestone-inspection-sirs.

Getting records from the association

Section 718.503(2)(a) entitles a buyer under contract, at the seller's expense, to the declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the annual budget and financial statement, and the latest reserve study or a statement that none exists, among other items. Section 718.116(8) requires an estoppel certificate within 10 business days of a request, and requires the association to name on its website a person or entity to receive those requests. Start with that website rather than a corporate address. Section 718.111(12)(g)1. also requires posted records at associations with 25 or more units and no timeshare units. Our checklist is at /research/condo-document-checklist.

Centro among Miami condominiums

Its 352 units make Centro 90th of the 1,241 condominiums with 20 or more units on /condo-associations/in/miami, and 24 of the 80 projects DBPR addresses to ZIP 33131 list more units. The area guide is at /neighborhoods/downtown-miami. We have no building profile for Centro, and it is not among the buildings at /condo-floor-plans. Profiles such as /buildings/aston-martin-residences and /buildings/waldorf-astoria-residences-miami cover separate downtown projects.

Questions owners and buyers ask about Centro Downtown Condominium Association

What is the legal name of the Centro condo association in downtown Miami?

Sunbiz files it as Centro Downtown Condominium Association Inc., document N13000003812, and Florida's condominium register shows it as Centro Downtown Condo Assn Inc, managing-entity number MA70937, for Centro at 151 SE 1st Street.

Is Centro Downtown Condominium Association active?

Sunbiz's live record, read November 4, 2026, shows it as active, with a reinstatement and a 2026 annual report both filed October 23, 2026, so a file calling it inactive predates that filing; recheck by document number N13000003812.

How many units does Centro at 151 SE 1st Street have?

Florida's condominium register records 352 units, while Miami-Dade County shows 358 unit records because it adds six labeled CU to 341 numbered units and 11 penthouses.

Is Centro Condo in Hialeah the same as Centro in downtown Miami?

No; Centro Condo on East 4th Street in Hialeah is a separate 10-unit condominium, project PR70400, with its own association under managing-entity number MA65332.

When was Centro in downtown Miami created and built?

DBPR records its declaration on July 24, 2013, and Miami-Dade County records a year built of 2016 for its units, so a certificate of occupancy from that year would put the first milestone inspection deadline at December 31, 2046.

How far this research goes

Miami Condo HQ has no live Miami MLS feed, so this guide quotes no prices, association fees or availability; /condos-for-sale shows sample listings only. We read Sunbiz's detail page but not the reinstatement filing, and we have not seen the declaration, budgets or inspection reports. Records, lender questionnaires and estoppel certificates must come from the association, not from us. To trace another building's association, start at /condo-associations.
