South of Fifth condo

South of Fifth. The name is now synonymous with a lifestyle defined by vibrancy, eclecticism and cosmopolitan opportunity. Now investors are invited to get in on the ground floor of a new kind of opportunity on the famed Ocean Drive. Not a highrise tower like those that have recently sprung from this exclusive district but an intimate residential project that will offer all the luxuries of a larger community. The expected arrival date is 2008.

South of Fifth will include 28 units: nine lofts, ten condominiums, three penthouses, three cabanas and three two-story beach houses. Habitats will range from 1,300 to 6,200 square feet. Exhilarating east-west flow-through designs, by architects Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates, will provide natural light from sunrise to sunset. That exquisite Atlantic-tinged light will pour through floor-to-ceiling windows.

Interiors will feature wireless lighting controls, custom home theater systems and reservation services access. Top-of-the-line appliances will complement handsome kitchens appointed with granite countertops. Bathrooms will have limestone floors and a glass-enclosed shower and toilet/bidet area. Service quarters with separate entrances are standard, as are private elevators to every luxury unit.

Master planning is under the eye of Michael Samuel, also a principal of Midtown Group, the New York-based development company behind Midtown Miami, a future $2.3 billion self-contained urban community.

Homeowners at the luxurious South of Fifth will live within steps of SoFi's chic shops, international cuisine, and nightlife hotspots. So for a combination of intimate urban retreat and an address to be envied, choose to be at South of Fifth.
