Southpoint
At the quiet south end of the Galt Ocean Mile, Southpoint owns nearly 400 feet of direct beachfront — and it just finished the expensive part. The two 22-story towers at 3400 and 3410 Galt Ocean Drive (built 1974, 200 residences) have completed exterior restoration and 40-year recertification. What remains: 1- to 3-bedroom residences with ocean, Intracoastal, and city views, a heated saltwater pool, tennis, fitness rooms, clubrooms, BBQs, 24-hour security and doorman, and garage parking. Steps from Shooters Waterfront, Greek Islands, and Publix — a genuine ditch-the-car location. For buyers who want Galt Mile sand with the structural...

At the quiet south end of the Galt Ocean Mile, Southpoint owns nearly 400 feet of direct beachfront — and it just finished the expensive part. The two 22-story towers at 3400 and 3410 Galt Ocean Drive (built 1974, 200 residences) have completed exterior restoration and 40-year recertification. What remains: 1- to 3-bedroom residences with ocean, Intracoastal, and city views, a heated saltwater pool, tennis, fitness rooms, clubrooms, BBQs, 24-hour security and doorman, and garage parking. Steps from Shooters Waterfront, Greek Islands, and Publix — a genuine ditch-the-car location. For buyers who want Galt Mile sand with the structural homework already done, this is the building to beat — with active for-sale and for-rent markets on both towers.
Southpoint Frequently Asked Questions
❯ Is the 40-year recertification complete?
Yes — recent listings report that both towers have finished exterior restoration and the 40-year certification is complete, with assessments paid. Buyers should still verify certification status, reserves, and any pending assessments during due diligence.
❯ What's the difference between the North and South towers?
Southpoint North stands at 3410 Galt Ocean Dr and Southpoint South at 3400 Galt Ocean Dr. Both rise 22 stories and were built in 1974, sharing the same beachfront, pool deck, tennis courts, and amenity program — the practical differences are the specific unit, floor, view corridor, and price.
❯ What is the rental and pet policy?
Recent listings indicate owners may rent annually after the first year of ownership, and one cat or dog up to 35 pounds is permitted. Both policies live in the association documents and can change — investors and pet owners should confirm the current terms before purchasing.
❯ What do HOA fees run at Southpoint?
Fees vary by unit and tower. Recent listings have shown roughly $1,279 per month for a 2-bedroom and about $1,651 per month for larger 3-bedroom residences, covering security, pool and fitness, insurance, Wi-Fi, cable, and management.
❯ Is parking garage or assigned?
Garage parking is the standard, with larger units typically carrying two garage spaces plus guest parking outside. The buildings also offer bike rooms and extra storage — practical details that matter for full-time residents.
❯ How walkable is the location?
Very. Southpoint sits at the south end of the Galt Ocean Mile, steps from Shooters Waterfront, Greek Islands Taverna, Publix, and neighborhood shops and restaurants.

Building Health: The Restoration Story
For any 1970s Florida tower, the first question isn't the view — it's the concrete. Southpoint answers it better than most: both towers have completed exterior restoration work and the 40-year recertification, with recent sellers advertising that all assessments are paid. That completed homework separates it from vintage buildings still facing their milestone bills, and it's a concrete reason (literally) the building continues to trade well.
The residences themselves are classic Galt Mile: 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom layouts with generous balconies, many updated with modern kitchens, impact glass, and renovated baths. Split 2/2 plans near 1,660 sq ft form the market's core; 3-bedroom corners near 2,100 sq ft trade at the top. Similar vintage beachfront value nearby includes Ocean Riviera and Royal Ambassador, both also on the Galt Mile.
The Galt Mile Location
The Galt Ocean Mile — the 2.5-mile stretch of Galt Ocean Drive between Oakland Park Boulevard and the beach — is Fort Lauderdale's most established condo corridor, and Southpoint anchors its southern end. The location trades downtown buzz for residential calm: morning walks on a wide, uncrowded beach, lunch at Shooters, groceries at Publix, all without starting the car.
For buyers comparing Southpoint with newer construction, the value equation is simple: direct beachfront, completed restoration, and full amenities at a fraction of new-tower pricing per square foot. For investors, the annual rental allowance after year one supports long-term rental income — a profile shared with Sapphire Fort Lauderdale up the beach.
