Post-Surfside, Post-Status-Quo: How Florida’s Condo Safety Era Is Repricing Waterfront Living

Florida’s waterfront condominium market is being recalibrated by a new, compliance-forward reality. After the 2021 Surfside collapse, milestone inspections and Structural Integrity Reserve Studies have moved from industry jargon to household terms, reshaping carrying costs, buyer diligence, and the redevelopment calculus along prized coastal corridors.
