Everything on this page comes from public records, news reports or the developers’ own announcements, and each fact is credited in the Sources section below. Where reports disagree, we show both. This is a building under construction, so details can change; confirm them with the developer or sales team before you rely on them.

Construction Status

Construction started in early 2024. Aerial photos from late July 2026, published by Florida YIMBY on August 6, 2026, show the concrete structure at about 13 stories. Completion is reported for 2028; that date is not confirmed by the developer on this page.

What Public Records and News Reports Say

• November 2025: Dezer Development secured a $630 million construction loan for the tower (The Real Deal; Florida YIMBY).
• Height: reports from November 2025 describe 61 stories; Florida YIMBY’s August 2026 report describes 62. We have not been able to confirm which is final.
• Late July 2026: vertical construction at about 13 stories, from aerial photos (Florida YIMBY, August 6, 2026).
• A Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser search of 18401 Collins Ave on October 29, 2026 showed the site coded as vacant commercial land, with no condominium units on the tax roll yet. Units usually appear after the condominium is recorded and the county’s next update.

Inspections and Reserves for a New Building

Florida’s milestone inspection and Miami-Dade County’s 25-year recertification are both counted from a building’s completion, so neither applies yet. Florida law requires the developer to obtain a structural integrity reserve study before the association is turned over to owners; ask for it, and for the budget and reserve schedule in the offering documents.

What Buyers Should Ask For

• The milestone inspection summary, if the building has had a milestone inspection (ask for any Phase 2 report too)
• The most recent structural integrity reserve study, or a statement that none has been completed
• The annual budget and financial statement, plus the reserve balance and any special assessments
• Board minutes from the past year, for planned repairs

For a resale, Florida law (section 718.503(2)) entitles the buyer, at the seller’s expense, to the declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, annual financial statement and budget, Q&A sheet, milestone inspection summary (if applicable), the most recent SIRS or a statement that none exists, and any turnover inspection report. Unless the buyer received them more than 7 days before signing, the buyer may cancel within 7 days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) after signing and receiving them, until closing. A buyer purchasing from the developer has 15 days (section 718.503(1)). Board minutes, reserve balances and special-assessment details are not on the statutory list; request them separately.
