Murano at Portofino South Beach — Floor Plans

At 1000 South Pointe Drive in Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood, Murano at Portofino is the southernmost residential tower in South Beach — positioned on the direct waterfront of Biscayne Bay at the very tip of the island, where the bay meets Government Cut. Developed by Thomas Kramer's Portofino Group in partnership with Related Group of Florida, designed by Sieger Suarez Architects — the same firm behind Bentley Residences Sunny Isles BeachMore Info, Porsche Design Tower, and Oceana Bal Harbour in this MPE floor plan series — and completed in 2002, Murano at Portofino stands as one of the founding addresses of the South of Fifth luxury residential market.

The building delivers 189 residences in eight distinct floor plan styles from 1,008 to 3,365 interior square feet across one- through three-bedroom configurations, plus four-bedroom penthouses extending to 4,784 square feet. The building's most defining floor plan characteristic — confirmed as a building-wide standard across all sources — is the 14-foot-deep private terrace and the see-through bay-to-ocean flow-through layouts that deliver Biscayne Bay views on the primary face and Atlantic Ocean views on the secondary, simultaneously accessible from the primary living areas.

The building is currently in an active $60 million structural renovation and amenity upgrade — one of the most significant residential building reinvestments in South Beach in the current market cycle, addressing facade restoration, balconies, waterproofing, and a renovated beach club. This renovation directly improves the structural and aesthetic condition of every floor plan in the building and positions Murano at Portofino for another 20-plus-year cycle of competitive relevance in the SoFi market.

Current resale listings range from $1.699 million to $14.5 million.

Murano at Portofino — Floor Plans at a Glance

The Eight Named Floor Plan Styles — A Building That Rewards Individual Research

Murano at Portofino's eight distinct floor plan styles — covering one- through four-bedroom configurations across different positions on the 37-story floor plate — reflect the building's original design commitment to variety within a boutique scale. With 189 residences across 37 floors, the building averages just over five units per floor — a moderate density that allowed Sieger Suarez to design meaningfully different configurations at different positions around the floor plate rather than repeating two or three standard plan types endlessly.

The practical consequence for buyers in the current resale market: individual unit evaluation matters more at Murano at Portofino than at buildings with standardized floor plans. The difference between an 1,390 SF two-bedroom and a 3,365 SF two-bedroom — both available within the building's floor plan range — is a difference of nearly 2,000 square feet at the same bedroom count. These are categorically different residences serving different buyer needs, and the floor-plan-specific data in the listing (not just the bedroom count) is the essential starting point for any Murano buyer.

1 Bedroom Residences — 1,008 to 1,407 Square Feet

One-bedroom floor plans range from 1,008 to 1,407 interior square feet — the building's entry configuration and its most accessible resale price point at approximately $1.699 million for lower-floor units. At this square footage with 9-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors, 14-foot-deep private terraces, and direct bay views from the primary living areas, the Murano at Portofino one-bedroom delivers a floor plan quality that exceeds what most South Beach luxury condosMore Info offer at the same bedroom count.

The 14-foot terrace depth is the single floor plan detail most consistently cited across all listing descriptions and building summaries as the feature that distinguishes Murano at Portofino's outdoor living environment from comparable buildings in the SoFi neighborhood. At 14 feet deep, the terrace is genuinely proportioned as an outdoor dining and living room — deeper than the standard eight- to twelve-foot terraces at most competing buildings and approaching the terrace proportions of the Fendi Château ResidencesMore Info in Surfside.

Every one-bedroom residence includes:

• 9-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass throughout
• 14-foot-deep private terrace with bay views
• European custom cabinetry and granite countertops in the kitchen
• State-of-the-art stainless steel appliances including wine chiller in select configurations
• Master bath with fine cabinetry, marble and granite surfaces, designer faucets, and whirlpool tub in select units
• Walk-in closets
• Private elevator foyer in select configurations

2 Bedroom Residences — 1,390 to 3,365 Square Feet

The two-bedroom collection spans the building's widest square footage range — 1,390 to 3,365 interior square feet — reflecting the meaningful differences between the building's smaller two-bedroom configurations at lower floors and the expanded two-bedroom layouts available at upper floors that are among the largest two-bedroom floor plans in the SoFi residential market. The see-through bay-to-ocean floor plans are specifically confirmed as a building-wide standard for the two-bedroom and above configurations — delivering Biscayne Bay views to the west and Atlantic Ocean views to the east simultaneously from within the primary living space.

Upper-floor two-bedroom units at the 3,000 to 3,365 SF range are among the most significant floor plans in the current Murano resale market. At this square footage with the 14-foot terrace depth, floor-to-ceiling glass, and the bay-to-ocean flow-through orientation, these are residences that compete directly with the three-bedroom tier at Continuum South BeachMore Info and Apogee South BeachMore Info on livability terms while maintaining the two-bedroom operating cost structure.

The Four Bay Homes — Waterfront Entrances at the Bay's Edge

The four Bay Homes at Murano at Portofino are the building's most architecturally distinctive non-penthouse floor plan type — ground-level configurations with entrances directly along the water's edge and panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling glass walls. These are the floor plans that most directly approximate the experience of living at the bay waterfront itself rather than above it — the entrance is at the waterline, the terrace is at the water's edge, and the view from the primary living area is a direct bay panorama at eye level with the water.

Confirmed in active listing language as "among the most sought-after units in the building", the Bay Homes at Murano are the SoFi equivalent of the Lanai residences at Palazzo Del Sol Fisher IslandMore Info and the Beach House configurations at 1 Hotel & Homes South BeachMore Info — lower-floor waterfront residences with direct water proximity unavailable at any floor above them. With only four existing in the building, Bay Home availability at Murano at Portofino is among the most rarely occurring resale events in the South of Fifth market.

3 and 4 Bedroom Residences — 2,008 to 4,784 Square Feet

Three-bedroom floor plans range from 2,008 to 4,784 interior square feet with up to 5.5 bathrooms in the most expansive configurations — the upper end of this range approaching penthouse scale within the standard collection. Confirmed in active listing language, three-bedroom Murano at Portofino units with expansive wraparound terraces are specifically described as delivering views of Biscayne Bay, Government Cut, Fisher Island, the Port of Miami, and the Downtown Miami skyline simultaneously from the same terrace position — a view scope that is specific to the building's position at the southern tip of South Beach and unavailable from any other residential address in the neighborhood.

Four-bedroom configurations range from 2,618 to 3,365 square feet with 3.5 to 4 bathrooms — available at upper floors where the building's view corridors are at their widest. The four-bedroom Murano floor plan is among the rarest and most sought-after configurations in the building, appearing infrequently in the resale market and consistently attracting buyer interest when available.

The Penthouse Collection — Up to 4,784 Square Feet

Penthouses at Murano at Portofino extend the three-bedroom range to 4,784 square feet — two-story configurations confirmed in active listing language as including Italian Statuario Venato marble throughout in fully renovated examples. At the penthouse level, the building's see-through floor plan orientation and 14-foot terrace depths combine with the crown elevation to deliver a residential experience that encompasses the full panoramic arc of Government Cut, Fisher Island, the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and the Miami skyline.

Penthouse pricing ranges from approximately $3.65 million to $14.5 million — with the upper end of the range reserved for the building's most fully renovated crown residences and the two-story duplex configurations that represent the most estate-like floor plan product available in Murano at Portofino.

The $60 Million Renovation — A Material Fact for Buyers

Murano at Portofino's ongoing $60 million renovation is the most significant current fact affecting every floor plan purchase decision at this building, and buyers must understand it fully before evaluating specific units:

What is being done: The renovation addresses facade restoration, balcony structural work, waterproofing, water intrusion remediation, and amenity upgrades including a renovated beach club — a scope that reflects Florida SB 4-D's milestone inspection requirements for coastal buildings approaching or exceeding 25 to 30 years of age, as well as the building's own proactive decision to address structural integrity and aesthetic refresh simultaneously.

What it costs individual owners: Unit owners' assessments for the second phase range from approximately $66,000 for standard units to $322,000 for penthouse owners — a meaningful financial obligation that is material to any purchase decision and should be confirmed and factored into offer negotiations.

What it produces: A building that upon completion will have the structural integrity of a renovated 2025-standard asset at the South of Fifth bayfront position — the specific location advantage that no new construction in the neighborhood can replicate. The renovated beach club, improved facades, and refreshed amenity package position Murano at Portofino for another full cycle of competitive relevance in the SoFi market alongside Five Park Miami BeachMore Info, ApogeeMore Info, and Continuum South BeachMore Info.

The SoFi golf cart service — confirmed in active listing language as a new amenity added as part of the renovation — provides residents with a dedicated electric golf cart for South of Fifth neighborhood transportation. In a neighborhood where parking is limited and distances are short, a building-operated golf cart service is a practical daily convenience that no other building in SoFi currently provides.

The Private Bayfront Yacht Club — A SoFi Distinction

Murano at Portofino's private bayfront Beach and Yacht Club is the building's most commercially distinctive amenity offering and the feature most difficult to replicate at any other South of Fifth address. The club includes:

• Saltwater pool at the bay's edge
• Waterfront gourmet restaurant — confirmed as a renovated beach club dining facility
• Direct Biscayne Bay access from the club grounds
• Private cabanas and lounge service

No other residential building in South of Fifth offers a private bay-facing yacht club with its own saltwater pool and restaurant as a standard resident amenity. The combination of Murano's 600 linear feet of bay frontage and the Yacht Club on that same frontage creates a waterfront lifestyle infrastructure that is specific to this address and unavailable elsewhere in the neighborhood.

The Thomas Kramer and Portofino Group Legacy

Murano at Portofino was the creation of Thomas Kramer — the German-born developer whose Portofino Group transformed the southern end of South Beach Island in the late 1990s and early 2000s through a series of major investments including the Fisher Island Club, the Portofino Tower, and the Murano buildings. Kramer's vision for South of Fifth as an ultra-luxury residential neighborhood — at a time when the area was still largely industrial and underdeveloped — is the specific origin story of what SoFi has become over the following two decades. Murano at Portofino, completed in 2002, was among the first buildings to validate that vision at a scale and specification level sufficient to attract serious luxury buyers to the address.

The partnership with Related Group — the same developer behind Icon South BeachMore Info, Icon BrickellMore Info, and SLS Lux BrickellMore Info — brought Jorge Pérez's development infrastructure and market relationships to a project conceived by Kramer's architectural vision, producing a building whose combination of design pedigree and development credibility was unprecedented in South of Fifth at its delivery.
