Surfside · Building profile
The current identity of former Champlain Towers East
Ocean 88 Condominium is the current legal name of the building at 8855 Collins Avenue formerly called Champlain Towers East. Miami-Dade parcel records explicitly connect the two names and record 1994 for the residences. Surfside municipal records independently use the new name and former identity. A buyer requesting documents should use both names so older plans, engineering reports and association records are not missed. The name change by itself establishes nothing about current building condition, recertification or finances.
