Miami Beach carries two distinct architectural identities on one barrier island: the Art Deco Historic District of South Beach, built in the 1920s and 30s and protected today by detailed historic preservation review, and the MiMo, or Miami Modern, buildings of Mid-Beach and North Beach from the 1950s and 60s. A remodel here almost always means working within a historic district’s design guidelines, updating a mid-century structure to current hurricane codes, or navigating both requirements on the same project.

Elbaz Construction has taken projects through the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board and building department process enough times to know what gets approved and what gets sent back, which saves homeowners real time and money. Whether the project is a sensitive renovation inside a protected district or a full modernization of a mid-century property, we manage design, approvals, and construction together, so the island’s rules work with the project instead of against it.
