Continuum South Beach
50 & 100 South Pointe Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Continuum sits on a 12-acre gated tip of South of Fifth — the southernmost residential parcel on the island, surrounded on three sides by water. Two towers, full beachfront, two private pools, full-service tennis, beach club, and a level of security that's unusual even for trophy Miami Beach buildings.
It is the benchmark South of Fifth resale building. Inventory turns slowly. Buyers who want true beachfront with hotel-grade amenities and a primary-residence culture usually start here.

What Buyers Need to Know
- South of Fifth is the most demand-constrained sub-market on the island — limited new construction, strict zoning, and a buyer pool that skews end-user rather than investor.
- Rental restrictions (6-month minimum, 2x/yr) eliminate Airbnb-style use. Plan to hold or use as a primary/secondary residence.
- Conventional Fannie/Freddie financing is not available. Bring a portfolio lender or expect 30–50% down on a jumbo.
- South Tower and North Tower differ meaningfully on price, layout, and view orientation — the line and floor matters more than the average $/sqft suggests.
