14 ROC Converts to Contract at 20% Sold, Signaling Strong Investor Confidence in Downtown Miami

14 ROC, the sleek new luxury condominium rising in Downtown Miami’s vibrant Arts & Entertainment District, has officially reached a major milestone—passing 20% sold and converting reservations to contracts. Announced by 14th Street Miami Developers LLC, this moment marks a new chapter for the 32-story project.

Since its launch in July 2024, 14 ROC has captured the attention of savvy buyers and investors, thanks to its flexible short-term rental model, contemporary design, and unbeatable location in one of Miami’s most dynamic urban neighborhoods.

A standout in the short-term rental space, 14 ROC offers owners unmatched flexibility—allowing independent management without blackout dates or restrictions. It’s an ownership model tailor-made for modern lifestyles and today’s digital nomads, with optional professional management available for those seeking a hands-off approach.

Located at 125 NE 14th Street, 14 ROC places residents at the crossroads of culture and convenience. The development is just steps away from the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the Pérez Art Museum, and the highly anticipated 33-acre Underdeck Park. As part of the Underdeck master plan, buyers will enjoy direct access to lush green spaces and a “front row seat view” of the Signature Bridge—set to be completed in tandem with the building.

Designed by renowned RSP Architects and featuring interiors by London-based March and White Design (MAWD), 14 ROC will house 283 thoughtfully designed residences—from studios to two-bedroom layouts. Each unit features open-concept designs, high ceilings, private balconies, and sweeping views of the city skyline. Prices start at $495,000, offering a rare combination of luxury and accessibility in Miami’s competitive real estate market.

The building is expected to deliver in 2027.

14 ROC brings over 25,000 square feet of amenity space to its residents across three levels. Highlights include:

• A rooftop pool with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline

• A stylish coworking lounge and private meeting rooms

• State-of-the-art fitness and wellness facilities, including yoga studios

• Entertainment options like a karaoke room, theater, and game lounge

• A cutting-edge podcast studio—an amenity nod to the media-savvy generation

This curated amenity package reflects 14 ROC’s mission to foster community while embracing modern luxury and convenience.

Beyond providing luxurious homes, 14 ROC’s short-term rental model is poised to contribute meaningfully to Miami’s economic growth—boosting local business revenue and generating tax income to fund public projects and infrastructure.

As 14 ROC transitions to contract and continues to build momentum, it stands as a shining example of where Miami real estate is headed: flexible, design-forward, culturally connected, and future-ready.

Summit Brickell Enters Construction Permitting Phase, 65-Story Tower Moving Forward

The highly anticipated 65-story Summit Brickell tower has officially entered the construction permitting phase, signaling a major step forward for the transformative project in Miami’s Brickell district.

A permit application was submitted to Miami-Dade County in late February, and review is now actively underway. Turner Construction has been named as the project’s general contractor, bringing their extensive high-rise experience to the development.

Miami-Dade’s zoning review for Summit Brickell was already completed late last year, clearing a key regulatory hurdle for the project.

Once complete, Summit Brickell will rise to a height of 750 feet, making it one of the tallest residential towers in the neighborhood. The building is set to include 505 residential units, 1,933 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and 500 parking spaces within an internalized garage—an efficient design that maintains a sleek, vertical profile.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted approvals for both the tower’s permanent height and a 989-foot temporary construction crane, allowing vertical construction to proceed without delay.

With permitting in progress and all major approvals secured, Summit Brickell is well on its way to reshaping the Brickell skyline.
