4 units in the record sit outside this grid (14B/C, CU10, PH-B, PHA): 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 Imperial House.

Activity as of Nov 2, 2026
  • Resale +41%. The median closed price moved from $276/SF in 2021 (7 sales) to $390/SF in 2026 (6 sales), the first and last years with three or more recorded sales.
  • Gross rental yield 11.9%. A year of rent at the median $3.86/SF/mo (6 leases) against the median $390/SF sale (6 sales), both over 12 months, before HOA, taxes and vacancy.
  • Asks run +51% against closings. Sellers ask a median $590/SF (4 listings) against $390/SF closed (6 sales, 12 months). That gap is negotiation room. Bring the comps.
  • Sells in a median 112 days. Days on market across the 6 sales closed in the last 12 months.

Imperial House rises 15 floors at 5255 Collins Ave in Mid-Beach and was completed in 1963. The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser lists 174 residential units, averaging 1,415 SF of living area.

On November 2, 2026, four units were listed for sale, asking $950K to $1.5M (median ask $590/SF across 4 listings). Six sales closed between November 2, 2025 and November 2, 2026, from $55K to $1.1M, a median $390/SF, after a median 112 days on the market. The year before saw one closed sale. The MLS holds 35 closed sales here going back to 2020; among years with three or more sales, 2024 set the high at a median $495/SF. That 12-month median ranks 43rd of the 44 Mid-Beach buildings with at least three sales in the same window. One-bedrooms made up three of the 7 sales in the last 24 months, at a median $400,000.

Three units were offered for rent at $5,000 to $5,500 a month. Six leases were signed over the same 12 months, at a median $7,925 a month (range $3,490 to $15,900).

About 26% of the residences are owner-occupied according to county records, which points to an investor-heavy ownership base.

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.

Milestone structural inspection

Turned 30 in 1993

The statute's first deadline for a building this age was December 31, 2024, then every 10 years.

What the deadline means
  • Based on year built 1963 (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
