72 Park Miami Beach

What the county records at 72 Park

As of 25 September 2026 the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser holds 206 folios in the declaration 580 72ND STREET CONDO; the county’s legal description refers to Official Records book 34553, page 591. All 206 are classified residential condominium, all are shown as built in 2025, and the undivided ownership shares sum to 99.9994%.

⭐ 206 condominium homes, and other figures in print. The county’s 206 residential folios, The Real Deal (29 June 2023 and 10 March 2025), Florida YIMBY (21 September 2023), Multi-Housing News (5 March 2025) and Traded (16 May 2025) all say 206. Florida YIMBY (12 August 2023) said 270 units, 121 of them microunits, and Traded (30 July 2025) printed 266 units – 206 per reports in its key points. I have not found a source that says why the figures differ. The shares of the 206 homes sum to 99.9994%, so the 206 homes account for essentially all of the condominium’s undivided shares; that does not by itself show what else the building contains.

Unit numbers on the roll run from floor 6 to floor 21 — the county’s own numbering skips the thirteenth floor — plus 13 units labelled PH1 to PH13. The homes run 406 to 1,099 square feet, median 588, and the roll carries 24 distinct square-footage figures, nine of which appear 15 or 16 times each; the developer’s floor-plans page lists 13 plans (read 25 September 2026).

⚠️ Three figures worth flagging rather than smoothing over. First, the county records no studios — the smallest homes, at 406 to 435 square feet, are carried as one-bedrooms, which is why the one-bedroom count is so high. Second, the developer’s website gives 470 to 1,177 square feet and The Real Deal (10 March 2025, citing a press release) gave 466 to 1,200, while the county records 406 to 1,099 of heated area; I have not found a source that says how the developer measures its range. Third, the developer’s own floor-plans page lists sizes up to 1,624 square feet, above the 1,177 on its residences page. All of these are published and I am not going to quietly pick one.

2026 assessed value across all 206 homes: $185,648,000, median $791,000.

The county also carries a separate folio at the same street address. Folio 02-3211-002-0260 (subdivision NORMANDY BEACH SOUTH) is classified hotel, shown as built in 2025 with six floors and 242,313 square feet of heated area (garage, retail and “Apt/Hotel – High Rise” improvement segments), and is assessed at $28,410,214 for 2026; the condominium’s reference folio (02-3211-101-0001) is described in its legal description as an air-rights parcel. That folio’s bedroom field reads 60. I have not found a source that says what that figure counts, who operates anything in that space, or why the county classifies it as hotel, so I read nothing into it. It is not part of the 206 homes counted on this page.

What people paid, and how fast it happened

The county records 182 qualified, arm’s-length sales.

⭐ The closings were a wave, not a trickle. Forty-eight sales are dated February 2025, seventy-three March, twenty-five April and twenty May — 166 of the 182, in four months. After that the pace fell: twelve more qualified sales are dated June to December 2025 and four are dated 26 January to 13 February 2026; the county file shows no qualified sale after 13 February 2026 (retrieved 25 September 2026).

Twenty-seven of the 206 homes — 13% — carry no qualified sale. ⚠️ That is not the same as unsold: a home can be under contract without a deed, and the roll can lag a recent recording. But it is the number to ask the association about. The developer said 90 percent of the homes were sold in March 2025 (The Real Deal, 10 March 2025) and Traded put it at 97 percent in July 2025; the county’s 179 of 206 (87 percent) counts recorded sales, not contracts.

Three resales, three losses

🔴 This is the most important thing on the page, and it is four lines long.

Three homes at 72 Park have been bought and then sold again. All three sold for less than the seller paid.

⚠️ Three transactions are three transactions. This is not a market reading, it cannot be one, and anybody who tells you 72 Park is “down 35%” on the strength of unit 709 is misusing the record.

The county file records deed amounts only. It does not say whether furnishings, upgrades or fees were part of either price.

But it is the entire recorded resale history of this building as of 25 September 2026, and it points one way. Every recorded resale has closed at a loss, and the largest was about 35 per cent of the purchase price inside eight months. For a building marketed as short-term-rental friendly (The Real Deal, 10 March 2025), that is information a buyer is entitled to have before an agent quotes them a projected yield.

I have not found a source that says why these three homes sold below their purchase prices. One reading, which is mine and not a sourced fact: most of the building closed within four months, so an owner selling in 2025 or 2026 is selling against up to 178 closings dated 2025 at that same pricing, in a building where the homes are small and repeated — 24 different square-footage figures across 206 homes, nine of them appearing 15 or 16 times. On that reading there is little to separate one seller from the next except price.

The short-term rental question

72 Park has been marketed, prominently, as the first luxury tower in Miami Beach to permit short-term rentals: the developer’s March 2025 release says so, its website (read 25 September 2026) calls it the first short-term rental luxury building approved in Miami Beach, and The Real Deal has described it as short-term-rental friendly (10 March 2025).

⚠️ This page is not going to confirm that for you, and you should be sceptical of any page that does. Short-stay rights in Miami Beach are not a feature a developer can grant. They are decided by three separate things, and all three have to line up:

• The City of Miami Beach’s own rules for the specific zoning district the building sits in, together with whatever registration, licensing and tax registration the city requires.
• The State of Florida’s licensing regime for transient public lodging.
• The condominium’s own declaration, which binds you personally and which can be amended by the owners after you buy.

What to do about it, concretely: ask for the recorded declaration and any amendments, and read the leasing article yourself. Ask the association what licences the building and its owners actually hold, in writing. And if a projected rental yield is part of why you are buying, get the assumptions behind it in writing too — occupancy, nightly rate, management fee, cleaning, city and state taxes, and what the association charges for short-stay operations.

What the City publishes. The City of Miami Beach’s vacation short-term rental page says an operator must hold a Vacation/Short-Term Rental Business Tax Receipt, and carries a list headed “Apartment Buildings Authorized for Short Term Rental” (434 rows, read 25 September 2026). 580 72nd Street is not on that list; 600 72nd Street, the address The Real Deal gives for Lefferts’ 72 Carlyle project, is. I have not found a source that says what the list covers or how often it is updated, so I do not read the absence as a finding either way. It is one more reason to ask for the building’s business tax receipt and the recorded declaration.

⛔ One thing that is not evidence: a county property-use code. It is an assessment classification, not a permit, and it fails in both directions on Miami short-stay buildings. Nothing on this page about rentals is derived from one.

Who this suits, and who it does not

It suits a buyer who wants a new, well-amenitised home in North Beach and intends to use it. One-bedrooms closed at a median of $850,000 in 2025 (109 sales), in a 2025 building with 64,000 square feet of amenity, a 150-foot pool and a rooftop, and a private beach club that the developer places about a five-minute walk away (developer’s website, read 25 September 2026).

It suits badly a buyer who needs this to appreciate on a short horizon. Most of the building closed inside four months, there are 178 comparables sitting behind any resale you attempt, the homes are small and highly repeated, and all three recorded resales closed below what the seller paid. That is a small sample and a clear direction.

And it suits badly a buyer who is underwriting on rental income they have not verified. The short-stay proposition is the developer’s headline claim. It is also the part of the proposition that depends on a city, a state and an owners’ association — none of whom signed your purchase contract.

Three things to establish before you commit:

• The declaration’s leasing article, in full, plus any amendments, and what licences the building actually holds.
• Who owns the 27 homes with no recorded sale on the county roll — the developer, buyers under contract or someone else; the roll does not say — and whether association assessments are being paid on them.
• The most recent closed sale in your exact size. With 24 different square-footage figures across 206 homes and nine of them repeating 15 or 16 times, there is often a closed sale in the same size, and it will be more useful than any building-wide average.
