Murano at Portofino Condos for Sale & Rent · 1000 South Pointe Drive, Miami Beach
Murano at Portofino is a 37-story tower on Biscayne Bay at the Miami Beach Marina, with only 189 residences, some of the largest floor plans in South of Fifth and a private bayside beach club. Two blocks from South Pointe Park, it combines resort amenities with a quieter, residential scale. Yet value here cannot be read from an average price per square foot alone: line, floor, exposure, terrace and condition can materially change what a residence is worth.
Current Market Intelligence
MLS market snapshot as of October 7, 2026. Inventory and status can change at any time.
How to read these numbers: With only 189 residences, Murano at Portofino rarely has more than a handful of homes on the market at once, and three active listings is a tight supply. Current asking prices range from $4.75 million for a Line 03 three-bedroom of about 2,008 square feet to $9.75 million and $11 million for two Line 01 residences of about 3,365 square feet.
That spread, from roughly $2,370 to $3,270 per square foot, shows why the line, the floor and the condition of each residence matter more than a building average. On the rental side, two of the four residences offered during the period were already pending.

Developed by the Portofino Group, led by Thomas Kramer, in partnership with The Related Group and designed by Sieger Suarez, Murano at Portofino rises 37 stories, about 402 feet, on a site of roughly 4.5 acres with more than 600 feet of frontage on Biscayne Bay.
The tower faces west over the bay and the Miami Beach Marina, so many residences enjoy sunsets over the Downtown Miami skyline, with views of Government Cut, Fisher Island and, from certain exposures, the Atlantic Ocean. Only 189 residences share the building, giving it a notably private, residential feel.
Building Amenities
The amenities are not an accessory to the real estate. For many buyers, a private beach club on the bay is the reason to choose this building.
A private sand beach and saltwater pool on Biscayne Bay, reserved for residents: one of the most distinctive amenities in South of Fifth.
A heated freshwater pool and spa on the water complement the beach club, with marina and sunset views.
Two lighted courts make it easy to play year-round, including in the cooler evening hours.
A two-level fitness center with sauna and steam rooms keeps a full wellness routine inside the building.
Media and multi-purpose rooms give residents space to entertain family and guests on site.
Full-service concierge, 24-hour security and 24-hour valet with covered, secured parking deliver hotel-style service.

Inside the Homes
Murano at Portofino offers one-, two- and three-bedroom residences in eight principal floor plans, from approximately 1,008 to 3,365 square feet, together with townhouse residences and penthouses. Several plans are among the most generous in South of Fifth.
Many residences open onto terraces about 14 feet deep, wide enough for true outdoor living and dining facing the bay. At the top of the tower, penthouse residences include a two-level home with its own rooftop terrace.
Floor Plans
With only eight principal lines on floors 3 through 30, knowing the floor plan is the first step in understanding any residence at Murano at Portofino.
Principal floor plans on floors 3–30. Townhouse residences and upper-floor penthouses have individual layouts. Square footage is approximate interior area from published building information and may differ from MLS or appraisal figures.
A Rare Amenity
Few Miami Beach towers can offer residents their own beach. At Murano at Portofino, a private bayside beach club with a sand beach and saltwater pool sits on the building’s bay frontage, a calm alternative to the busier public beaches of South Beach.
Combined with the heated freshwater pool, the tennis courts and the marina next door, it gives the building a resort character that is unusual even among its South of Fifth neighbors, and for many buyers it is the deciding factor.

Marina Living in South of Fifth
Much of what buyers pay for here is the setting: the bay and the marina at the door, the park and the ocean a short walk away and the city just across the causeway.
South Pointe Park, its promenade along Government Cut and the Atlantic beach at the southern tip of Miami Beach are only a couple of blocks from the lobby, so the ocean is part of the daily walk, not a weekend outing.
The tower sits right on the Miami Beach Marina, a natural setting for boat owners and for anyone who enjoys a waterfront stroll, a drink at sunset or dinner overlooking the yachts.
South of Fifth is home to many of Miami Beach’s best-known restaurants, set among quiet residential streets with a calmer rhythm than the heart of South Beach.
Brickell is roughly 12 minutes by car and Wynwood about 15, with Downtown Miami and the Design District close by and Miami International Airport about 30 minutes away, traffic permitting.
Travel times are approximate and can vary with traffic and route.
Real Estate Perspective
The current listings say it clearly: the same building can ask about $2,370 per square foot for one residence and about $3,270 for another. Line, floor, view corridor and condition explain most of that gap, which is why a single building-wide average can mislead both buyers and sellers.
A residence should also be measured against the alternatives a buyer will actually tour along the marina: Murano Grande, ICON South Beach and The Yacht Club at Portofino each offer a different balance of size, price and leasing flexibility.

Beyond the Property Search
Murano at Portofino has long attracted international owners looking for a large, private residence on the water. For overseas purchasers, the property search is only one part of the process: ownership structure, financing, inspections, closing, condominium approval and leasing rules all deserve attention.
For executives and families relocating to Miami, I also assist with neighborhood orientation, executive rentals, private property tours, school guidance and the practical transition to South Florida. For buyers who want to redesign or furnish a residence after closing, professional interior-design coordination can also be integrated into the move.

In-Depth Buyer Guide
Murano at Portofino real estate rewards careful comparison. The strongest buying decisions come from understanding not only asking price, but also the specific line, floor, view corridor, terrace, renovation level, association profile and competing inventory at the moment of purchase.
Buyers comparing Murano at Portofino condos should start with the line. A Line 01 three-bedroom of about 3,365 square feet, a Line 03 three-bedroom of about 2,008 square feet and a Line 06 one-bedroom of about 1,008 square feet serve very different buyers, and the floor and view corridor add a second layer of difference.
Condition matters as well. A residence renovated with updated kitchen, bathrooms, lighting and flooring can generate a very different buyer response than a unit with its original early-2000s finishes that will need work under the association’s approval process.
Before making an offer, buyers should review current active competition in the building and along the marina, the most relevant recent closings, association financials and reserves, milestone inspection status, any known special assessments, parking and storage, and the leasing rules if rental income is part of the plan.
International buyers should plan the ownership and closing structure early. Financing, title, tax planning, insurance and the choice of ownership entity can affect the transaction and should be coordinated with the buyer’s legal, tax and financial advisers.
Sellers at Murano at Portofino benefit from positioning a residence against the inventory a buyer will actually compare: other residences in the same line, nearby floors and comparable homes at Murano Grande, ICON and the other South of Fifth towers.
With supply this limited, presentation can make a meaningful difference. Professional photography, an accurate floor plan, clear information about updates and a precise description of the view, terrace and beach-club access help a listing stand out to local and international buyers.
Pricing strategy should also account for how many directly competing residences are active, how long they have been on the market, whether comparable homes are pending, and the price-per-square-foot spread between lines and conditions.
Living at Murano at Portofino means a private beach club, pools and tennis inside the building, and a neighborhood outside it where the marina, South Pointe Park, the ocean and the restaurants of South of Fifth are all within walking distance.
Buyers should also consider the practical rhythm of the building: valet and parking, guest access, deliveries, pet rules, the leasing policy, and how often they expect to travel to Brickell, Downtown Miami, the Design District or the airport.
