14 ROC: The Complete Buyer’s Guide
14 ROC is a 31-story, 283-residence condominium at 125 NE 14th Street in Downtown Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District. It isn’t in Miami Beach. GFO Investments is developing it through an affiliate. All homes are fully furnished studios to two-bedroom-plus-den plans, and short-term rentals are approved. Pricing launched from $495,000 in July 2024. Construction began in June 2026 with about half the units sold, and completion is expected in 2028.
Buyers searching for “14 ROC Miami Beach” or “14 ROC Bay Harbor Islands” are looking for the right project in the wrong city. The mix-up is understandable, since the developer’s family has built in Miami Beach for decades. But 14 ROC is on the mainland, between Downtown, Miami Worldcenter and the southern edge of the Edgewater corridor. Some listings call it “14 ROC Edgewater” for that reason. This guide covers what the project is, what it costs as of September 2026, and how it compares with its neighbors.

What is 14 ROC, and where exactly is it?
14 ROC is a 283-unit condominium tower at 125 NE 14th Street, Miami, FL 33132, in Downtown Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District — the pocket north of the central business district anchored by the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, roughly ten minutes from the beach across the Venetian and MacArthur causeways. Florida YIMBY’s June 2026 construction report describes a 31-story tower. The 2024 filings called for 32 stories across the parcels at 101–125 NE 14th Street. The site sits within walking distance of the Adrienne Arsht Center, Pérez Art Museum Miami and the planned Underdeck park beneath I-395, near Metromover stations and Brightline’s MiamiCentral hub.
To be direct: 14 ROC is not in Miami Beach, and there is no similarly named Miami Beach project as of September 2026. The “beach” association comes from the developer, not the address. GFO Investments is the Galbut family’s firm, and its portfolio includes Five Park in Miami Beach, developed with Terra.
RSP Architects designed the building, with interiors by March and White Design (MAWD), landscape by Urban Robot Associates, and Seawood Builders as general contractor. The name refers to the sculptural “roc” base, which, per Miami Today, holds resident self-storage and building mechanical systems so the street level can stay active. Above it, all 283 residences are delivered finished and furnished, with 10-foot ceilings and private balconies, per the developer’s brochure. Owners can manage short-term rentals themselves or join an on-site rental program, per Florida YIMBY. Because the site is in a rapid-transit zone, the tower has no on-site parking, per Florida YIMBY’s 2024 report.
What does 14 ROC cost in 2026?
14 ROC launched in July 2024 with prices from $495,000, per PROFILEmiami and Florida YIMBY. A third-party broker listing (MiamiResidential.com, last updated February 2026) shows studios from about $509,000, one-bedrooms from about $651,000 and two-bedrooms from about $973,000, and an average asking price near $1,200 per square foot. Haute Residence’s own July 2026 coverage cited pricing from $595,000, so ask for the current sheet before comparing.
Even at $1,200 a foot, 14 ROC sits well below the waterfront towers around it. Villa Miami’s New Developments card lists about $1,800 per foot, and Cipriani Residences Miami about $1,400. Remember that 14 ROC’s units come furnished and rental-ready, which widens the gap against unfurnished product. Our September 2026 price-per-square-foot index tracks the wider range.

Who is the developer, and what is their track record?
14 ROC is developed by 14th Street Miami Investments LLC, an affiliate of GFO Investments, per Florida YIMBY and the developer’s brochure. GFO is the private investment firm founded by Russell Galbut, with Marisa Galbut as president. The condominium itself is offered and sold by 14th Street Miami Developers, LLC. The brochure’s legal notice says that entity is separate from GFO Investments and from Crescent Heights, the national development firm Russell Galbut co-founded. GFO’s portfolio, per its site and PROFILEmiami, includes the 51-story Gale Miami Hotel & Residences a few blocks south and Five Park in Miami Beach.
That resume matters in two directions. It shows direct, recent experience delivering exactly this product type — furnished, flexible-rental condos in Downtown Miami — and a flagship luxury delivery on the Beach. It also means buyers are underwriting a family investment firm rather than a high-volume condo brand like Related Group; buyers who want deeper diligence should see how Gale Miami’s rental program operates before contract, and review the condominium documents for 14 ROC itself.Our guide to researching a developer’s track record lists the checks.
What are the deposit structure and delivery timeline?
The payment schedule shown in sales materials as of September 2026 is 20% at contract, 10% at three months, 10% at six months, 10% at twelve months and 50% at closing.Confirm it in writing, since schedules can change between releases.That 50% pre-closing deposit is typical of short-term-rental product, where lenders demand heavier buyer equity — but it is a substantial commitment on a sub-$1M asset, and buyers should understand their exit options before signing. Our guide to assigning a pre-construction contract in Florida covers the questions to ask.
Construction began in June 2026, with about half the residences under contract and Seawood Builders as general contractor, per Florida YIMBY. Florida YIMBY, Miami Today and Multi-Housing News all put completion in 2028. That’s a year after the 2027 date in the 2024 launch materials, which had projected a spring 2025 start. A visible start with majority pre-sales lowers completion risk, but 2028 remains a target, not a contract date. For projects arriving sooner, see our South Florida new developments delivering in 2027, and for the signals to weigh, our guide to reading completion risk.
How does 14 ROC compare to nearby projects?
Within its own lane of furnished, short-term-rental-approved Downtown condos, 14 ROC’s closest reference is the developer’s Gale Miami Hotel & Residences a few blocks south, which shows how the sponsor runs a rental-oriented building. Against the waterfront towers on either side, it’s a different product at a much lower ticket.

For how unit count changes sell-out speed, association costs and deposit risk, see Boutique vs Mega-Tower: 14 ROC, The Lincoln and Edgeworth vs the 300-Unit Giants.Buyers weighing an investment unit against a primary or second home at a higher tier have a different decision. Up the coast, Bentley Residences Sunny Isles offers oceanfront, car-elevator-equipped residences at many multiples of 14 ROC’s price point — a true luxury alternative for buyers who searched “Miami Beach” because they actually want sand. And the neighboring bayfront blocks of Edgewater, covered in our Edgewater new-developments market guide, offer larger unfurnished residences for owner-occupiers at higher price points.
The candid framing: 14 ROC is an income-oriented, lock-and-leave product in an appreciating but still-transitional district — not a beachfront trophy. Its buyer is running a yield model, not a lifestyle upgrade.
