800 South Pointe Drive · South of Fifth, Miami Beach
Apogee South Beach Condominiums
Sixty-seven residences, twenty-two stories, and one of the quietest addresses in South of Fifth.
The Building
Apogee South Beach at 800 South Pointe Drive
Apogee South Beach is the small-house building on South Pointe Drive. Completed in 2008 by The Related Group with architecture by Sieger Suarez, it holds 67 residences across 22 stories — roughly a fifth of the homes in the towers a few hundred yards away.
The consequence is visible in the residences themselves. Units are configured as half-floors and full-floors of approximately 3,100 to 4,150 square feet, so the building operates more like a collection of private homes than a condominium tower. Apogee sits on the bay side of South Pointe Drive, facing Biscayne Bay, Government Cut, and the Miami skyline, and its low horizontal profile keeps the terraces usable and the light generous.
Design and Architecture
Apogee's design begins with a decision about scale. At 22 stories and 67 residences, the building is small enough that service can be genuinely personal and large enough that residences occupy half a floor or a full floor. Deep terraces and horizontal banding keep the tower low and horizontal in profile rather than slender and tall, which is what allows the residences to feel like apartments in a building rather than cells in a tower.
What Sets It Apart
Residence count is the differentiator. Apogee holds 67 residences in 22 stories — a rarity in a neighbourhood where comparable addresses run to 265 or 500. The practical results are fewer neighbours, quieter floors, larger floor plates per residence, and a service ratio a 300-unit building cannot match.
History
Apogee was completed in 2008 by The Related Group with architecture by Sieger Suarez. Delivered into the downturn that followed the 2008 financial crisis, at a residence count in the sixties, it never had the volume of resale inventory the larger towers carry — a scarcity that has shaped its market ever since.

The Living Experience
Living at Apogee South Beach
Apogee's daily rhythm is defined by how few people share the building. Elevators are rarely busy, the pool deck is rarely full, and the staff know residents by name — the practical luxury of a low-density address.
Residences are large enough for genuine family life or extended stays, which makes Apogee as suitable for full-time residents as for owners who use Miami as a second home. The bay side position means sunsets and skyline views rather than beachfront crowds, and the building's proximity to South Pointe Park gives residents an oceanfront walk without the traffic of the beach blocks.
Who It Suits
Buyers who prioritise privacy, proportion, and low density over amenity volume — including owners who want a residence large enough to live in year-round or host family for extended periods. It suits buyers who see 67 neighbours as the amenity, and who prefer bay, channel, and skyline exposure to direct oceanfront.

The Residences
Residences and Interior Features
Apogee's residences are substantially larger than the neighbourhood norm — roughly 3,100 to 4,150 square feet, configured as half-floor and full-floor layouts, with expansive living and dining areas and deep terraces running the width of the principal rooms. The low floor count and generous plate sizes are why a residence here reads as a home rather than an apartment.
Because the building is small, each residence is individual. Layouts, finishes, kitchens, and terraces vary by line, floor, and owner renovation, and the higher floors carry the widest bay, channel, and skyline exposure. Nothing about a residence you have seen should be assumed to describe the next one — the specific unit is the specific unit.

The Location
Location and Neighborhood Lifestyle
Apogee stands at 800 South Pointe Drive, on the bay side of the street in the southern portion of South of Fifth. From the building, the waterfront path and South Pointe Park are close, and Government Cut — the working channel where the cruise ships pass — is part of the outlook rather than a distant curiosity.
Miami Beach Marina and the South Pointe restaurant district sit just north and west; the beach and Ocean Drive are east across the neighbourhood. The MacArthur Causeway keeps downtown Miami and the airport within a straightforward drive, which matters for owners who move between the beach and the mainland.
Ownership
Buying, Selling, and Ownership Considerations
Apogee's market behaves differently from the neighbourhood's larger towers. With 67 residences, inventory is naturally thin, and buyers are typically choosing between a handful of residences rather than a broad field — so pricing at this address is set by the individual unit, its floor, and its condition as much as by the building.
The flip side is genuine scarcity: fewer listings, longer intervals between comparable sales, and less internal competition than a 265-unit building creates. Buyers who want the address should expect to move on the right residence when it appears, and to look closely at what has and has not been renovated.
Rental and Pet Policies
Rental terms and pet policies at Apogee are set by the association and can change; current minimum lease terms, pet limits, and approval requirements should be confirmed with the association before purchase. Nothing on this page should be relied on as a statement of current building policy.
