About Monad Terrace
Developed by JDS Development Group · Designed by Jean Nouvel
Monad Terrace is a boutique waterfront condominium at 1300 Monad Terrace, developed by JDS Development Group and designed by Jean Nouvel — the Pritzker Prize-winning French architect’s first residential project in Miami. Completed in 2021, the building is arranged as two towers, the taller of 13 stories, around a landscaped lagoon pool, with planted screens that give the facades a layered, tropical look.
Residences are generously sized — mostly two- to five-bedroom homes — and the property has a boat dock and underground parking. The setting on the bay side of South Beach puts Lincoln Road, the Sunset Harbour restaurants, and the ocean beach within a short ride.
Building Fees & Assessments
MLS listings for Monad Terrace have shown a median association fee around $2.73/sqft/month -- shown per square foot, not as a flat dollar figure, since that's comparable across unit sizes rather than skewed by whichever units happen to be listed right now. This is a point-in-time reference, not a live figure, and can change over time. Confirm the current fee for a specific unit before making an offer.
Specific reserve fund balances, pending special assessments, and financial statements aren't public MLS data -- request them directly from the condo association or your agent before making an offer.
Rental Potential
See the live "Monthly rental from" figure above for Monad Terrace's current lowest asking rent, and the market snapshot's closed-lease count and median rent for actual rental demand over the trailing 12 months -- both update automatically, unlike a number written here. Specific rental rules -- minimum lease term, rentals allowed per year, and whether short-term/Airbnb-style rentals are permitted -- are set by the condo association and vary by building. Verify current rental restrictions directly with the association before buying as an investment.

Who designed Monad Terrace?
Jean Nouvel, the French architect and Pritzker Prize laureate, designed Monad Terrace -- his first project in Miami. It was developed by JDS Development Group, with Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design on the building team.
What makes the design unusual?
The building is arranged around a landscaped lagoon pool that Nouvel described as a "reflection machine," with suspended planted screens on the facades. The design was also presented as flood-resilient, a real consideration for any Miami Beach purchase.
How many residences does Monad Terrace have?
59 residences across the two towers. Early 2016 announcements gave 54, but completion-era reports, listing remarks and MLS records agree on 59.
