Inside The Setai
Calm is the currency at The Setai, where a 40-story residential tower stands behind the restored 1936 Dempsey-Vanderbilt on the Collins Avenue oceanfront in South Beach. The property's Asian-inflected service culture extends to owners — three oceanside pools kept at different temperatures, courtyard restaurants among the city's best, and staff trained to hotel standard around the clock. Tower residences offer straight-on ocean frontage and the option to generate income through the hotel's rental program. Second-home owners who prize discretion over scene have kept it a quiet favorite for two decades.
On 101 20th St in South Beach, The Setai is a residential condominium and dates to 2004. We follow this building unit by unit: each line, floor and exposure trades at its own level, so the listings below are sorted by status — available, under contract and recently closed — rather than blended into a single average.
The layouts seen in recent MLS activity run from 1-bedroom plans up to 4-bedroom residences. Shared facilities on record for the building include elevator secure, elevator(s), bar, doorman, exercise room and fire alarm — worth confirming with the association which are covered by the monthly dues and which carry their own fees.

Questions Buyers Ask About The Setai
Which association documents should I review before buying at The Setai?
Request the current budget, the reserve study, at least a year of board minutes, the rules and regulations, and a written statement of any special assessment that is approved or under discussion. Florida's condo-safety laws now require milestone structural inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for buildings of three or more stories, so ask where The Setai stands on both.
Does The Setai allow pets?
Pet policy is set by the The Setai association and can limit the number, size or type of animals — and a board vote can change it. Get the current rule in writing before you make an offer; we request it as a standard step on every condo purchase we handle.
What leasing rules apply to owners at The Setai?
Minimum lease length, how many times a year a unit may be leased, tenant approval and any waiting period for new owners are association decisions. If you plan to rent the unit out, verify the current policy first; the rental and leased tabs on this page show the lease activity recorded here.
How do view lines and floor height affect value at The Setai?
Inside one tower, price follows the stack: exposure, view corridor, floor height and whether the line is a corner unit all matter. Compare closed prices by bedroom count in the market report, then ask us which lines in The Setai face which direction before you build a shortlist.
Does a unit at The Setai come with parking?
Parking arrangements differ by building and sometimes by unit — assigned spaces, valet, or spaces conveyed as limited common elements. Confirm how many spaces transfer with the specific residence and whether guest parking or storage costs extra.
How does Gromadzki Real Estate price a unit in The Setai?
Building first: closings in the same line and bedroom count, then nearby floors, then comparable towers in South Beach. The association's health — reserves, assessments and insurance — gets equal weight, because it shapes the monthly cost of ownership as much as the purchase price does.

What is the street address of The Setai?
