Santa Maria is a waterfront tower at 1643 Brickell Ave with 51 floors and 174 residences. It was completed in 1997, developed by CMC Group and designed by Revuelta Vega Leon. The lowest street beside it sits 12.3 ft above the highest tide predicted for 2026 at Virginia Key. FEMA places it in flood zone X, a moderate-risk area where flood insurance is not federally required but is available, and it is in Miami-Dade hurricane evacuation zone B.

The Financial District Metromover Station is 580 m away in a straight line, and the Car-Free Index is 67. The nearest Publix is 660 m away. There are 10 active tower construction sites within 1 km, 1 of them within 500 m, which can bring noise and traffic while it lasts, and new towers can change views.

On the 2025 tax roll, 29% of the 174 units carry a homestead exemption and 51% are owned by a company or trust. The Miami-Dade Clerk recorded 10 resale deeds in the 12 months to October 21, 2026. Financeability is rated good, at 60 of 100, meaning regulated lenders have financed purchases here in the last two years.
