ABOUT

Originally constructed in 1968 by nationally-known builder/developer Alexander Muss, the building initially stood as a residential hotel until developers Suncoast Towers V Associates converted Seacoast 5700 into a condominium building in 1995. Known for its high-quality construction of residential buildings in Miami Beach and other parts of South Florida during the vibrant years following WWII, Alexander Muss & Sons began working with the area’s top architects and developers after the family moved to Miami from New York in 1962. With a family history of building housing in New York since the 1880s, the Muss firm’s first project in Miami was the Seacoast Towers South designed by legendary mid-century Miami architect Morris Lapidus, best-known for his design of the nearby iconic Fontainebleau Hotel. Seeing an unmet need for “moderately priced luxury apartments in prime locations,” Muss & Sons followed with the construction of other residential buildings on the Beach. By 1969, the firm had completed five additional Seacoast buildings, including Seacoast 5700, as well as a 16-story apartment house in Fort Lauderdale designed by Charles McKirahan, who had previously designed Seacoast Towers North (now called the Alexander).

Known and respected for their family management approach and building skills, the Musses built and stayed on with unprecedented personal involvement in their buildings. According to a mid-20th-century historic designation report prepared by the City of Miami Beach Planning Department in 2009, “every Muss building has been a smashing success…attributed to the beauty of the buildings, their lavish resort facilities, the plush splendor of hotel-like lobbies and social rooms.”

Seacoast 5700’s well-planned, generously proportioned apartments range from one- to three-bedroom units as well as three penthouses. Its recently refreshed lobby and grounds preserve the best of its classic mid-century past while bringing its decor and function elegantly into the present.

AMENITIES

Seacoast 5700 is a full-service building with amenities that include landscaped grounds and a year-round pool, an outdoor barbecue area, a well-equipped gym, a social/meeting room/studio, and a business center. In addition, the building houses an acclaimed restaurant called L’Edito with an inventive menu by French chef Christophe Bibard, a finalist on the popular European television program “Top Chef.” It also provides 24-hour valet service.

Ideally located in the middle of Miami Beach, Seacoast 5700 not only offers value luxury living, but also easy access to the ocean and beach across the street. The excitement, restaurants, luxury hotels, and shops of South Beach and Lincoln Road as well as the relaxed spirit, local restaurants and coffee shops, and serene North Shore Park in North Beach are 10 minutes away in either direction, with plenty of hardware stores, pharmacies, grocery stores, local shops, and weekly farmers markets nearby. The building is also close to the highly regarded Mount Sinai Medical Center as well as numerous golf courses and fitness, spa, and yoga facilities throughout the Beach. The shops and restaurants in downtown Miami and Brickell, the arts and galleries in Wynwood, and the high-end boutiques in the Design District are also readily accessible across the Bay as are the Bal Harbour Shops just to the north.
