14 ROC: The Complete Buyer’s Guide
14 ROC is not in Miami Beach — it is a 32-story, 283-unit condominium at 125 NE 14th Street in Downtown Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District, developed by GFO Investments. As of September 2026, fully furnished, short-term-rental-approved residences start around $509,000 for studios, the tower is more than 50% sold, and closing is targeted for Q4 2028.
Buyers searching for “14 ROC Miami Beach” are usually looking for the right project in the wrong city. The confusion is understandable: the tower’s developer is a Miami Beach-rooted family firm, and its “14th Street” address reads like a beach cross-street. But 14 ROC sits on the mainland, in the fast-densifying blocks between the Adrienne Arsht Center and the emerging Edgewater corridor. This guide covers what the project actually is, what it costs as of September 2026, and how it stacks up against 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 July 2024 report on the project, based on the developer’s plans, describes a 32-story tower assembled from parcels at 101–125 NE 14th Street.
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 traces to its developer — GFO Investments, the Galbut family firm whose portfolio includes Five Park in Miami Beach — not to the address.
The building’s design comes from RSP Architects in collaboration with Urban Robot Associates, with interiors by London- and New York-based March & White Design (MAWD). The name references a rock-like architectural base; above it, all 283 residences — studios through two-bedrooms of roughly 410 to 964 square feet — are delivered fully finished and furnished, with 10-foot ceilings, balconies, and Monogram appliances, per project marketing materials. Critically for investors, the building is approved for short-term rentals with no minimum-stay restriction cited in sales materials, and — because it sits in a rapid-transit zone — it is being built without on-site parking, per Florida YIMBY.
What does 14 ROC cost in 2026?
At its July 2024 launch, PROFILEmiami reported starting prices of $495,000. As of September 2026, the project’s sales-affiliated site lists studios from about $509,000, one-bedrooms from about $651,000, and two-bedrooms from about $973,000, with the tower under construction and more than 50% of units sold.
On a per-square-foot basis, entry studios of roughly 460 square feet at $509,000 imply approximately $1,100 per square foot — mid-market by current Downtown standards and well below the $1,800–$2,500 range of Brickell’s luxury tier tracked in our September 2026 price-per-square-foot index. Remember that units come furnished and rental-ready, which flatters the comparison against unfurnished product.

Amenities span 25,000 square feet across three levels: a rooftop pool with Biscayne Bay views, fitness center with private workout studios, yoga lounge and terrace, steam and sauna, coworking lounge, theater, game and karaoke rooms, and a kids’ room, according to the developer’s materials. Sales and marketing are handled exclusively by Cervera Real Estate.
Who is the developer, and what is their track record?
GFO Investments is the private investment and development firm of Miami Beach’s Galbut family, with Marisa Galbut as president; the development entity for this project is affiliate 14th Street Miami Investments LLC, per Florida YIMBY. PROFILEmiami’s launch coverage places Gale Miami Hotel & Residences — the short-term-rental tower a few blocks south — and Five Park, the luxury condominium in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth area, within the family’s project portfolio.
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 review the developer’s completed inventory at Gale Miami before contract.
What are the deposit structure and delivery timeline?
The payment schedule published on the project’s sales site as of September 2026: 20% at contract, 10% at three months, 10% at six months, 10% at twelve months, and 50% at closing, targeted for Q4 2028. 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.
On timing: Florida YIMBY’s 2024 report cited a spring 2025 construction start and 2027 completion, while the project’s own sales materials now target 2028 delivery with closings in Q4 2028 — a roughly one-year slide that is common across the current cycle. [VERIFY: current construction status/floor count as of September 2026 — confirm with Cervera sales team.] For context on which competing projects arrive sooner, see our 2027 delivery calendar.
How does 14 ROC compare to nearby projects?
Within its own lane — furnished, short-term-rental-approved Downtown condos — 14 ROC’s closest comparison is the developer’s own Gale Miami Hotel & Residences nearby, already delivered, which gives buyers a rare look at how the sponsor’s product actually operates. In Brickell, Mercedes-Benz Places launched from about $685,000, per published broker materials, putting 14 ROC’s $509,000 entry meaningfully below the branded competition, albeit in a different submarket.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 14 ROC in Miami Beach?
No. 14 ROC is at 125 NE 14th Street in Downtown Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District, on the mainland near the Adrienne Arsht Center — roughly a ten-minute drive from Miami Beach via the Venetian or MacArthur causeways. The Miami Beach association comes from its developer, the Galbut family’s GFO Investments, longtime Miami Beach builders.
How much do condos at 14 ROC cost?
As of September 2026, project sales materials list studios from about $509,000, one-bedrooms from about $651,000, and two-bedrooms from about $973,000. Units run roughly 410 to 964 square feet, implying entry pricing near $1,100 per square foot, and every residence is delivered fully finished and furnished.
Who is the developer of 14 ROC?
GFO Investments, the Miami Beach-based Galbut family investment firm with Marisa Galbut as president, is developing 14 ROC through affiliate 14th Street Miami Investments LLC. The family’s portfolio includes Gale Miami Hotel & Residences in Downtown Miami and Five Park in Miami Beach, per PROFILEmiami’s 2024 launch coverage.
Does 14 ROC allow short-term rentals?
Yes. 14 ROC is approved for short-term rentals, and all 283 residences are delivered fully furnished and rental-ready, per project marketing materials as of September 2026. That flexibility is the project’s core investment pitch, positioning units for Airbnb-style or seasonal income in Downtown Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District.
What is the deposit structure at 14 ROC?
The published schedule as of September 2026 is 20% at contract, 10% at three months, 10% at six months, 10% at twelve months, and the remaining 50% at closing — a 50% total pre-closing deposit, which is standard for short-term-rental condo product in Miami’s current cycle.
When will 14 ROC be completed?
Current sales materials target delivery in 2028, with closings in Q4 2028, as of September 2026. Earlier reporting by Florida YIMBY in 2024 had cited a 2027 completion off a spring 2025 construction start, so buyers should treat the later date as the operative one.
Does 14 ROC have parking?
No on-site parking is planned. Because the site sits within a Miami rapid-transit zone, the tower was approved without a parking pedestal, per Florida YIMBY. Residents and guests rely on nearby garages, ride-share, and the adjacent transit network — a genuine consideration for owners who intend to keep a car.
Is 14 ROC a good alternative to Bentley Residences Sunny Isles?
They serve different buyers. 14 ROC is a furnished, short-term-rental investment product from about $509,000 in Downtown Miami; Bentley Residences Sunny Isles is an oceanfront ultra-luxury tower with in-unit car elevators at many times that price. Yield-driven investors fit 14 ROC; beachfront lifestyle buyers should look at Sunny Isles.
