The Grand

Mixed rental and condominium

Summary

The Grand is an 810-unit, 42-story condominium on Biscayne Bay in the Arts & Entertainment District, originally built in 1986 and renovated in 2004. It operates as a genuine mix of individually owned condos, a standard-lease rental program run by a professional manager, and a large volume of short-term and Airbnb-style stays, which residents say is the defining fact of living here. Residents praise bay views and helpful staff; complaints concern short-stay traffic and noise, elevator reliability, and front-desk and management responsiveness.

Costs on top of rent

Budget about $180/month on top of rent. Recurring costs include electricity and internet. HOA dues (paid by the owner) reportedly run from about $800/month for a one-bedroom to over $2,000/month for a large unit. A standard-lease rental program run by a professional manager quotes base rent from about $3,100 to $6,500 and a security deposit anywhere from about $1,250 to $6,500 depending on the unit.
