Miami Beach · Building profile
A 1960 Miami Modern building beside Normandy Waterway
The Miami Beach building has 3 floors, completed in 1960.
The Normandy Isles National Register nomination identifies Rive Marseilles at 1185 Marseille Drive as a three-story 1960 design by Maurice S. Weintraub. Its description highlights projecting concrete window bands and perforated breeze-block ornament, with apartments accessed from an internal hallway. The 2008 survey also records a rear pool and wooden dock along Normandy Waterway. Those are historical observations, not a present inspection. The building offers a specific example of postwar North Beach design; a purchase review should establish which original features remain and what work is planned for the waterside edge.
