The Miami SoFi enclave is a small affluent neighborhood situated on the southern tip of Miami Beach — beginning at South Pointe Park to 5th Street, from east to west. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, SoFi is known as an exclusive urban sanctuary.

As one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Miami Beach, it is no surprise that SoFi is home to some of the most luxurious condo towers in South Florida. A few of the ultra-high-end luxury condos in South of Fifth include Continuum South Beach, Apogee South Beach, Murano Grande and Murano Portofino

South of Fifth is also home to some of the most historic restaurants, beautiful oceanfront hotels and youthful hotspots.

Those who settle in SoFi have the best of many worlds: an elite neighborhood, ocean views from residence windows, and a sense of sanctuary, yet always with a SoFi Joie de Vivre.

Apogee South Beach

Apogee Building is an aptly named Miami Beach, South of Fifth (SoFi) condo development, as its meaning underscores the vision of the Condo itself. An Apogee is the highest point, a climax in the development of a project.

The Apogee residences, lobbies and common areas have been designed by the world-renowned Yabu Pushelberg and his architecture firm. There are, for example, optically clear glass on the units and on the balconies, and granite and French Limestone finishes. There is a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, an infinity edge lap pool in a garden setting, and each unit has an enclosed, air-conditioned two car garage, with artwork by the Cuban Born artist, Jose Bedia.

But with all the deep design finished and artwork, resident privacy and security are also of profound importance, so a full-service concierge and valet parking, are always available.
