Icon South Beach

ICON South Beach: Bayfront Living in the Heart of South of Fifth

Rising 40 stories above Biscayne Bay, ICON South Beach has stood as one of Miami Beach's most recognizable waterfront addresses since 2005. Developed by The Related Group and shaped by architecture firm Sieger Suarez, the tower's sweeping S-curve silhouette was designed to give nearly every one of its 289 residences an unobstructed view of the bay, Government Cut, and the Miami skyline. Inside, the celebrated French designer Philippe Starck brought his signature drama to the interiors, from the soaring 24-foot lobby to the finishes within each home.

Set along roughly 1,000 feet of bay frontage directly behind the Miami Beach Marina, ICON occupies one of the most coveted footprints in South of Fifth — Miami Beach's exclusive southernmost enclave, prized for trading the crowds of Ocean Drive for a quieter, resident-first rhythm just steps from the sand.

Residences

ICON's 289 homes are arranged across nine distinct floor plans, from efficient one-bedrooms to sprawling three-bedroom residences and two tri-level penthouses, with interiors ranging from 851 to 2,158 square feet plus expansive wraparound balconies. Every residence shares a common design language: 9-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling hurricane-impact windows, 8-foot solid-core doors, and oversized walk-in closets.

• Kitchens: custom wood cabinetry, granite or marble countertops, and a full Miele appliance package with Sub-Zero refrigeration
• Bathrooms: marble flooring and countertops, with bubble-jet soaking tubs in the master suite
• Finishes: one of four Philippe Starck color palettes, tinted hurricane-impact glazing, and in select residences a built-in wine cooler

Amenities

• Two resort-style pools plus a separate heated bayfront lap pool, each with dedicated sundecks and food service
• Two-story lobby café beneath Starck's signature 24-foot ceilings
• State-of-the-art fitness center, spa, sauna, and steam rooms
• Media lounge, billiards and recreation room, and business center
• 24-hour front desk, security, and complimentary valet parking
• Full-service, on-site concierge and management team
• Pet-friendly building with no weight restrictions

Location & Lifestyle

From ICON's front door, South Pointe Park and its fishing pier, the beach, and the Miami Beach Marina are all within walking distance — along with some of South Florida's most celebrated restaurants, including Joe's Stone Crab, Prime 112, Carbone, and Stubborn Seed. The building carries a Walk Score of 96 ("Walker's Paradise"), a rarity even by Miami Beach standards. By car, Downtown Miami is roughly 15 minutes away, with Brickell and the Design District each within a half hour.

Living at ICON also means true marina living — if you own a boat, dockage right at your doorstep is part of the lifestyle here, something the beachfront buildings further north simply can't offer. While ICON isn't directly on the sand like Continuum, it sits along one of South of Fifth's most scenic waterfront promenades — a walk that runs from the marina all the way to the southern tip of Miami Beach, right on the sand, in about 10 minutes. Along the way, you'll pass Monty's, a laid-back waterfront spot with live music and sunset views that feels more like Key West than South Beach — a favorite for an evening drink as the sun goes down over the water. The same walk brings you to South Pointe Park, a beautifully landscaped green space where, especially around sunset, you'll find people running, working out, doing yoga, playing music, or just relaxing by the water. It's this combination — marina access, walkable beach, and genuine neighborhood life — that makes living at ICON feel different from anywhere else in South of Fifth.

Rentals at ICON are limited to twice per year with a six-month minimum, preserving the quiet, primarily owner-occupied atmosphere that distinguishes it from more transient buildings closer to Ocean Drive.

Why Buy at ICON South Beach

ICON pairs a rare architectural pedigree — Sieger Suarez architecture with Philippe Starck interiors — with one of the most walkable, water-wrapped settings in South of Fifth. It suits buyers who want true bayfront living within easy reach of the beach, without sacrificing the privacy and stability of a well-managed, rental-restricted building. For investors, its 2005 completion and consistent resale activity make it one of the more established, liquid addresses in the neighborhood.

Just minutes away, residences at Continuum and Portofino Tower offer a similar South of Fifth lifestyle with their own distinct architectural character — worth exploring if you're comparing waterfront options in the neighborhood.
