Apogee South Beach · #Penthouse 2204

Apogee South Beach is a 22-story bayfront tower at 800 South Pointe Drive in South of Fifth (SoFi), the lowest-density stretch of Miami Beach. The Related Group delivered the building in 2008 with Sieger Suarez Architects on design and Yabu Pushelberg on the lobby and common areas. The program holds 67 residences across 22 floors, with four homes per typical level above the parking podium and a single penthouse layout on the upper floors. Each residence at Apogee has private elevator access opening directly into a foyer, and every floor plan is a flow-through running east-west to capture the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Biscayne Bay on the other. Standard layouts run 10- to 12-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, Italian marble flooring, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, AMX automation, Lutron lighting, midnight kitchens off the master suite, and 11-foot terraces with summer kitchens. Three penthouses include private rooftop pools, and the building's narrow floor count combined with the wide unit footprint puts the average residence at well over 4,000 square feet. The Apogee site sits at the southern tip of Miami Beach, a short walk to South Pointe Park, the Miami Beach Marina, Smith and Wollensky, and Joe's Stone Crab. The South of Fifth neighborhood is bracketed by the Atlantic on the east, Government Cut on the south, and Biscayne Bay on the west, with the Art Deco District and Ocean Drive sitting just north of Fifth Street. The neighborhood's low building heights and proximity to Government Cut keep most South of Fifth residences within view of cruise ship traffic departing the Port of Miami. Residents reach Brickell and Downtown across the MacArthur Causeway in under 15 minutes, with the Faena District, Soho Beach House, and Lincoln Road further up Collins Avenue, and Indian Creek and La Gorce Country Club a short drive north. Apogee's amenity floor is intentionally pared back compared to the larger Brickell and Edgewater towers built in the same era. There is a bayfront infinity-edge pool and sundeck with cabanas, an open-air pavilion for resident gatherings, a spa, a fitness center, a residents' lounge, and 24-hour concierge, valet, and security. Two private guest suites are available for owner use. The building does not have an on-site restaurant or retail; the South of Fifth dining and marina stretch handles that need within a two-block walk. Apogee South Beach is consistently ranked among the most prestigious addresses in SoFi for its low unit count, large per-floor footprint, dual-water orientation, and the Yabu Pushelberg-led interior pedigree.
