South Tower at The Pointe was designed around a simple luxury: privacy. Completed in 2002 at 21055 Yacht Club Drive, this 32-story waterfront tower holds 288 residences, just five per floor, each entered through a semi-private elevator foyer. Architect Robert M. Swedroe's dual-column layout means you share your landing with only a handful of neighbors. Add a 25,000-square-foot residents' club and spa, a private marina, and the Intracoastal at your doorstep, and condos for sale and for rent here deliver single-family seclusion in a high-rise. For privacy-driven buyers, South Tower at The Pointe remains a smart luxury value.

Privacy by Design
Most 32-story towers stack a dozen doors per hallway. South Tower at The Pointe stacks five. Architect Robert M. Swedroe, the designer behind Turnberry Ocean Club, centered the plan on a dual-column core so each residence feels closer to a private home. Full-service staffing (valet, 24-hour security, concierge, courtesy shuttle) completes the lock-and-leave lifestyle.

South Tower At The Pointe Frequently Asked Questions
❯ How is the South Tower different from the North Tower?
Think of them as siblings five years apart: the North Tower broke ground in 1997 and the South Tower followed in 2002. Both hold 288 residences at about 32 stories with the same semi-private elevator concept. The South Tower is the newer of the pair, which shows in finishes and systems. Compare specific units rather than assuming one is 'better.'
❯ What does 'semi-private elevator' actually mean?
Only about five residences share each floor's landing, and elevators open into semi-private foyers rather than long public hallways. It's the closest a high-rise gets to a private elevator lobby, and it's the defining design feature of both Point towers.
❯ What is the 25,000-square-foot club like?
The Residents Club & Spa, shared with the North Tower, includes a café, fitness facilities, spa treatment rooms, billiards, and garden and media rooms. Add heated waterfront pools, tennis courts, and barbecue stations across 36 acres of parkland.
❯ Can I walk to shops and dining?
Yes. A boardwalk rings The Point Marina and leads about a mile to the Waterways Shoppes and fine dining across the bay. The tower sits in Aventura's Waterways neighborhood, minutes from Aventura Mall and the beaches of Sunny Isles.
❯ Can I rent out my South Tower unit?
The building has active markets for both condos for sale and condos for rent, and its privacy concept appeals strongly to long-term tenants. Confirm the association's current leasing minimums, approval process, and fees with the management office before purchasing as an investment.
❯ What views do the residences have?
At South Tower at The Pointe, east-facing homes look over the Intracoastal Waterway; north and west exposures take in the Atlantic, Gulfstream Park, and the Fort Lauderdale skyline. Oversized terraces, hurricane-impact glass, and walk-in closets come standard across the two-, three-, and four-bedroom floor plans.
