Centro sits at 151 SE 1st St in Downtown Miami, 210 m in a straight line from the Knight Center Metromover Station, and the Car-Free Index is 88. The tower was developed by Newgard Development Group and completed in 2016, with 38 floors and 358 residences. The nearest Publix is 980 m (about 0.6 miles) away.

The building is in FEMA flood zone X, a minimal risk area where flood insurance is not federally required but is available, and in Miami-Dade hurricane evacuation zone B. The lowest street beside it is 7 ft above the highest tide predicted for 2026 at Virginia Key. Construction is active nearby: 12 tower sites within 1 km, 3 of them within 500 m, which can bring noise and traffic while it lasts, and new towers can change views.

The financeability tier is strong, with an index of 94 of 100, and its VA condominium approval is current, so eligible veterans can use VA-guaranteed loans. A public records check last run October 20, 2026 found no liens, lawsuits or regulatory complaints at watch level or higher. On the 2025 tax roll, 7% of units carry a homestead exemption and 56% are owned by a company or trust. The Miami-Dade Clerk recorded 25 resale deeds in the 12 months to October 21, 2026.

The stacks
