South of Fifth’s endearing architectural merit represents a lifestyle that will intrigue even the most skeptical of buyers. Constructed with the feel of a beachside oasis, each residence promotes an elegant respite from the Miami sun. Balancing beauty with nightlife and casual cafes with notable restaurants, South of Fifth’s delightful location creates a warm, homelike appeal.
The intimacy and natural beauty of South of Fifth’s inspirational ocean setting is reflected in the innovative courtyard design of architect Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Associates. Boasting a unique organic design, South of Fifth’s inventive units feature east-west flow-through spaces that allow for spectacular natural views of the South Beach sunrise and sunset.

Service quarters with separate entrances are standard in most residences.
Expanding upon the development’s desirable features is an expansive pool surrounded by a stone deck that faces the ocean. Penthouse owners will also have their own 4,000-square-foot Rooftop Terraces with private pools and summer kitchens, as well as panoramic views of the ocean and intercoastal. Wraparound balconies are available in select residences.
The lavish interiors feature open-air kitchens with Great Rooms, which masterfully combine form and function with sophisticated European designs.
