10 units in the record sit outside this grid (PH-01, PH-05, PH-09, PH-10, T1, T8, UPH-2, UPH-4, …): penthouse, townhouse or ground-level numbers, or lines seen only once or twice.

How this is drawn: a unit's floor and line come from its MLS unit number alone (5614 is floor 56, line 14). A cell exists only where the MLS has recorded a listing, a closing or a lease; a blank means no record was seen, not that no unit exists. Column widths follow each line's median recorded living area. Pre-construction towers and buildings with a thin record have no drawing.

The read on 1500 Ocean Drive.

Activity as of Nov 2, 2026
  • Resale +51%. The median closed price moved from $908/SF in 2020 (3 sales) to $1,373/SF in 2026 (3 sales), the first and last years with three or more recorded sales.
  • Gross rental yield 5.1%. A year of rent at the median $5.88/SF/mo (12 leases) against the median $1,373/SF sale (3 sales), both over 12 months, before HOA, taxes and vacancy.
  • Asks run +8% against closings. Sellers ask a median $1,488/SF (6 listings) against $1,373/SF closed (3 sales, 12 months). That gap is negotiation room. Bring the comps.
  • Sells in a median 29 days. Days on market across the 3 sales closed in the last 12 months.
  • A renters' building. Leases outnumbered sales 4 to 1 over the last 12 months (12 leases, 3 sales), at a median $8,750 a month.

1500 Ocean Drive rises 15 floors at 1500 Ocean Dr in South Beach and was completed in 1998. County folio records count 113 residences, averaging 1,617 SF of living area. The condo archive records it as waterfront (ocean).

Six units were for sale on November 2, 2026, asking $1.4M to $3M (median ask $1,488/SF across 6 listings). Three sales closed between November 2, 2025 and November 2, 2026, from $1.5M to $2.8M, a median $1,373/SF, after a median 29 days on the market. The year before saw one closed sale. Across 25 recorded sales since 2020, the best year by median price per square foot was 2026, at $1,373 over 3 sales. That 12-month median ranks 16th of the 83 South Beach buildings with at least three sales in the same window.

Three units were offered for rent at $8,500 to $12,000 a month. 12 leases were signed over the same 12 months, at a median $8,750 a month (range $5,000 to $30,000). Leases outnumbered sales 4 to 1 over that year, so renters are a large share of who lives here.

County records show 33% of residences as owner-occupied, which points to an investor-heavy ownership base. Association rules on file: pets yes (owners & tenants); no short-term rentals; minimum lease 3 months; up to two leases a year. The association is managed by Marquis Association Management. I have five of its association documents on file, including the Declaration of Condominium and the Amendments to the Declaration.

FEMA flood zone

AE

Inside FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area. A federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance here.

What the zone means
  • The 1% annual chance ("100-year") flood area, with a base flood elevation set.
  • Base flood elevation 8 ft (NGVD29).
  • The zone is a map line, not a premium. Ask the association for its master flood policy, and get a flood quote for the specific unit before you commit.

FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, checked at the building's mapped location on Oct 12, 2026. Open the official map ↗

Milestone structural inspection

Due 2028

Due by statute by December 31, 2028, 30 years after 1998, then every 10 years.

What the deadline means
  • Miami-Dade sets 25 years for condo buildings within three miles of the coastline, which would be December 31, 2023.
  • Based on year built 1998 (county record). The statute counts from the certificate of occupancy date, which can differ.
  • The association must give every owner the inspector's summary. Ask for it, and for the structural integrity reserve study, before you commit.

Fla. Stat. § 553.899(3) ↗ and Miami-Dade recertification ↗, read Oct 9, 2026. What the deadline means for buyers
