The Vanderbilt

Fourteen One-Bedroom Homes on Pennsylvania Avenue

I pulled all 14 folios the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser has on file for The Vanderbilt at 810 Pennsylvania Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139, under the county’s subdivision “THE VANDERBILT CONDO.” Every one of the 14 is a residential home — there are no commercial, parking, cabana or storage folios in this declaration to exclude.

All 14 homes are coded one-bedroom by the county, running 585 to 742 square feet, median 616. There’s no single dominant floorplate — the closest the building comes is two pairs, at 616 and 742 square feet, with the rest spread across distinct individual sizes from 585 to 695 square feet.

On the 2026 tax roll, assessed values run from $111,601 to $244,049 across the 14 homes, with a median of $208,959 — a wide spread for a building this uniform in size, worth knowing if you’re comparing tax assessments unit to unit.

The county’s year-built field says 1946 for all 14 homes. I don’t have a confirmed architect or amenity list for this building from any primary designation record, and I’d rather say so than fill it in from a listing site. Pennsylvania Avenue sits inside the mapped footprint of the Miami Beach Architectural District, the 1979 National Register historic district covering most of South Beach, but I have not been able to confirm this specific building’s individual contributing status or architect against a primary source. See the verified strip below for exactly what I checked.

No Qualified Sale Has Closed at The Vanderbilt Since 2022

No qualified sale has closed at The Vanderbilt in 2023, 2024, 2025, or so far in 2026 — none at all. This is the plainest possible statement the county record can support: over the four-year window this site’s building pages standardly report, this 14-home building shows zero recorded arm’s-length transactions. That is not a price trend, up or down — there is no price to read a trend from. The building’s most recent qualified sale closed on 14 September 2022, four years before the 23 September 2026 county pull.

Most Documented Round Trips Here Have Lost Money

Zooming out past the empty four-year window, The Vanderbilt’s full county sale history carries 29 qualified sales, all of them dated 2006 through 2022, with 14 in 2006 and 2007, when each of the 14 homes has its first qualified sale on record. The all-time record sale, still standing 20 years later, is $450,000, set in December 2006 on a 742 square foot home at $606 a square foot — both the highest total price and the highest rate per square foot this building has ever recorded. The most recent sale, 14 September 2022, closed at $300,000 for a 610 square foot home, $492 a square foot, and the one before it, in April 2022, at $345,000 for a 684 square foot home, $504 a square foot. Both are below the 2006 record on both measures.

10 of the building’s 14 homes have a documented round trip, and the record here leans toward losses: 6 of the 10 sold for less than the previous owner paid, against 4 that sold for more, measured from each home’s first purchase to its latest sale. The median change across all 10 is -17.6%, over a median 13.5-year hold, with a range from -34.8% to +15.4%. Resale by resale, 9 of the 14 consecutive resale pairs sold below the prior price (one pair spanning a foreclosure is left out). The pattern is consistent with buying near the building’s 2006-2007 conversion peak and reselling later, sometimes years after the 2008 downturn: the four largest losses, from -25.5% to -34.8%, all trace back to purchases made in January or February 2007, sold between 2012 and 2020. I’ll state plainly what the record shows and nothing more — this is what’s on file, not a claim about why any individual owner sold when they did.

Who The Vanderbilt Suits, and Who It Doesn’t

The Vanderbilt suits a buyer looking for a small, uniformly one-bedroom building on Pennsylvania Avenue, and one comfortable being an early mover in a market that has produced no comparable sale in more than four years — there’s real opportunity in being the first recent transaction a building has seen, but also real uncertainty, since there’s no current pricing evidence to lean on beyond a 2022 sale and a 2006 record.

It suits buyers badly who want an active resale market or recent pricing certainty — zero qualified sales in four years is about as thin as a market can get, and a lender or appraiser may struggle to find a comparable inside this building at all. It also suits buyers badly who are counting on this building’s own resale history as an argument for appreciation; on the documented record, most long holds here have lost money, not gained it. Buyers who need documented architectural pedigree should also know I could not confirm an architect or historic-designation status for this specific building from a primary source (the county’s year-built field says 1946).

If you are selling: with no recent comparable inside the building at all, you’ll likely need to price off nearby buildings in this cluster and the 2022 and 2006 sales here as reference points, and be prepared to explain the building’s multi-year sale gap to a buyer’s agent — it reflects a lack of turnover, not necessarily a lack of demand, but it will raise questions.
