Closed $/SF figures use the 5 recorded sales of these units in the 24 months to Nov 2, 2026; a median needs three. Floor, line and size are the record's. Views and orientation are not in it and are not shown.

The largest typical unit is line 07, a median 1,640 sf over 3 units seen, recorded with 2 bedrooms.

4 units in the record sit outside this grid (404, 509, 1102, PH-10): 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 The Waves.

Activity as of Nov 2, 2026
  • Resale +59%. The median closed price moved from $441/SF in 2020 (4 sales) to $702/SF in 2026 (3 sales), the first and last years with three or more recorded sales.
  • Gross rental yield 6.3%. A year of rent at the median $3.71/SF/mo (4 leases) against the median $702/SF sale (3 sales), both over 12 months, before HOA, taxes and vacancy.
  • Asks run +37% against closings. Sellers ask a median $960/SF (3 listings) against $702/SF closed (3 sales, 12 months). That gap is negotiation room. Bring the comps.
  • Sells in a median 47 days. Days on market across the 3 sales closed in the last 12 months.

FEMA flood zone

X

Outside FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area. Flood insurance is optional, and still worth pricing.

What the zone means
  • Minimal flood hazard on FEMA's current map.
  • 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 2021

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 1991 (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
