From great dining, to exciting nightlife, engaging family activities and more, there is always something to do here. With this in mind, we built the dream of edgy and classy South Beach at Long Branch for buyers to gather with family and friends in an ideal setting. It took three years and grew from an initial 11-unit design to 47 fabulous residences.”
