The Penguin Condo Association

Florida's Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes registers Penguin, a Hotel Condominium Association, Inc. (DBPR managing-entity no. MA67967) as the managing entity for The Penguin Condo, DBPR project no. PR73043. The state's spelling is "PENGUIN, A HOTEL CONDO ASSN, INC.".

DBPR records 43 units for The Penguin Condo at 1418 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach. That makes it the 199th-largest of the 665 registered condominiums with 10 or more units in Miami Beach.

Its condominium declaration was recorded on July 17, 2006, according to DBPR. About 80% of Miami Beach's registered condominiums with 10+ units were recorded in an earlier year. A recorded date marks when the building became a condominium, which is not necessarily when it was built.

Mailing address on file with DBPR: c/o Penguin Hotel Development LLC, 1423 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139. Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) lists the association's registered agent, principal address and officers on file. Most day-to-day requests (estoppel certificates, move-ins, rental approval) go through the property manager. DBPR's file sends the association's mail in care of Penguin Hotel Development LLC. That is the mailing address on file as read November 12, 2026, not a statement of who manages the building today; to confirm the current manager, ask the board, the on-site office if there is one, or a unit owner. Miami Condo HQ is an independent research site, not the association, so we can't pass requests on to it.

Mailing address on file with DBPR: c/o Penguin Hotel Development LLC, 1423 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139. This is the line in Florida DBPR's condominium public-records extract, read November 12, 2026. A care-of line shows where the state addresses the association's mail. It can be out of date, and the firm on it may be a manager, an accountant or a law office, so confirm the current management company with the board or the on-site office before sending a condo questionnaire or an estoppel request.

Florida DBPR's Developer Summary Report lists Penguin Hotel Development, LLC as the developer for The Penguin Condo (project no. PR73043), as read November 12, 2026. That is the legal entity on DBPR's file, which may differ from the brand a building was marketed under.

DBPR's Condominium Conversion file lists The Penguin Condo (project no. PR73043), with an approval date of July 17, 2006, as read November 12, 2026. A conversion is a condominium created from existing improvements, such as a rental apartment building, rather than from new construction; Florida Statutes section 718.606 covers conversions of existing improvements to condominium ownership. The file does not describe the building's condition; ask the association for its latest inspection reports and reserve study.

The association or its management company — not Miami Condo HQ. We are an independent research website with no access to Penguin, a Hotel Condominium Association, Inc.'s records, so we can't complete condo questionnaires, issue estoppel certificates or supply master insurance policies. Ask the unit owner or the building for the current property manager, or look up the association's registered agent and principal address in Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz).

Florida's 2022 condominium safety law (SB 4-D, amended since) requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for many condominium buildings, depending on height, age and distance from the coast. DBPR's register does not say whether The Penguin Condo has completed either. Ask the association for its latest milestone inspection report, its SIRS and its reserve funding schedule.
