Continuum South Beach | Resale & Live Inventory

Continuum is the oceanfront residential enclave that occupies the southern tip of South Beach: two towers over twelve gated, landscaped acres, with a private beach club and tennis center. It is not a hotel condominium —it is a residential-only community, private and low-density for Miami Beach— and it has a resale market of its own.

The original tower —the South Tower, at 100 South Pointe Drive— delivered in 2002 with about 318 residences across 40 floors, and it set the tone: privacy, beachfront and a sporting club with tennis courts uncommon in South Beach. Six years later, in 2008, the North Tower (50 South Pointe Drive, 37 floors and roughly 203 residences) added newer and, in many lines, larger floor plans. Between them, the complex holds more than five hundred residences over twelve acres on the Atlantic.

For today's buyer what matters is not the brochure but the secondary market: which units owners are reselling, in which tower, at what price per square foot, and what is available for rent. This page orders that —live inventory for sale and for rent, how to read value, and the buying process— so you reach the offer with judgment.

What makes the complex different

Continuum's value is not just the address: it is being a gated, residential-only, low-density enclave in the most walkable part of South Beach. Among what defines the experience:

Twelve gated beachfront acres a landscaped, secured parcel unusual for South Beach, with direct access to the sand and to South Pointe Park.
Beach club and tennis center three courts, a sporting club, lagoon-style pools, spa and beach service, run for the owners and not for a hotel.
Two towers, two vintages the 2002 South Tower and the 2008 North Tower: different floor plans, finishes and views that trade differently and are worth comparing before you offer.
South of Fifth on foot the most coveted pocket of South Beach: Joe's Stone Crab, Prime 112, Smith & Wollensky and the park, all walkable from the door.

How the value reads: view, floor and line

In a one-of-a-kind building, two units of the same size can be worth very different amounts. Three variables explain almost the entire price difference:

The view

Not every orientation —or either tower— is worth the same. Direct-ocean residences —south and east exposure— command the premium; those facing the bay and the city trade below, though they win the sunsets and the skyline. And between towers, the North usually asks more for newer, larger floor plans. Before comparing prices, you have to compare tower, line and exposure.

The floor

Price per square foot rises with height: more light, less obstruction and, on the high floors, the best view. The value jump between the mid-rise and the upper floors is usually larger than the square footage suggests.

The line

Each line —the stack of units sharing a position on the floor plate— has its own terrace and exposure. Knowing which line you're looking at, and its resale equivalent, is the difference between paying market and overpaying. This is where an advisor who knows the building adds real value.

The resale thesis

Buying in resale, rather than preconstruction, changes the risk profile. Construction and delivery risk disappear: the complex was built years ago, it operates and the unit is physical. In exchange, you compete for scarce inventory —few units come to market at once in an enclave this size— and the price already carries the finished-product and location premium.

The right question is not whether Continuum is good —it is— but whether the specific unit is well bought: price per square foot against the complex's recent sales, in which tower and line, and the margin against what that unit would ask in rent. For the investor dollarizing into a trophy asset with privacy, beachfront and rental liquidity in the most liquid pocket of South Beach, a well-chosen unit combines scarcity, location and land that is impossible to replicate.

Buying process for the foreign buyer

You need no visa, residency or citizenship to buy in Miami. What's worth understanding before you make an offer:

Structure: in your name or through an LLC

In your personal name there is exposure to U.S. estate tax —an exemption of only US$60,000 for non-residents— which is why many foreign buyers acquire through a Florida LLC, sometimes with a holding company above. It is not always worth it: it depends on the amount, the use and your estate. Define it with your accountant before closing, and it helps to first understand buying in Miami as a foreigner.

Financing: the non-resident does qualify

You can buy all-cash or with a foreign national loan —typically 30%–40% down, a slightly higher rate and documentation your bank or accountant can assemble—. Many buy cash and weigh refinancing later.

FIRPTA: the withholding when the seller is foreign

In resale, many sellers are also foreign. FIRPTA requires the buyer to withhold a percentage of the price (typically 15%) toward the seller's tax. It costs you nothing as the buyer, but it affects closing and is a negotiating lever best handled with the closing agent.
