Champlain Towers in Surfside, Florida: What to know
Fox News
The Champlain Towers condominium suffered a partial collapse early Thursday morning, with dozens of residents rescued, more missing and at least one person reported dead.
The total complex, including Champlain Towers East and North, is comprised of 342 apartments. The south building, which is newer, hosted 136 units, which were occupied by full-time residents, families, snowbirds and short-term renters, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Sally Heyman told Fox News. A condo could cost anywhere from $600,000 to $900,000 for one- to three-bedroom apartments, with up to around 1,600 square feet to live in, according to some real estate listings. For that price, the building hosted a number of impressive facilities, including a fitness center, pool, spa, sauna, beach access, a business center and a playground for children. Some apartments had balconies that faced onto the beach as well, and Miami Beach is just a 30-minute drive south.More Related News
