The condo was built in the heyday of the Miami construction boom of the 1970s and 80s.
Would not want to own a condo in any of those or in fact any similar building on that coast and of a similar age.
Now there are suggestions... that one or more residents may have initiated unpermitted renovations, which damaged support columns and caused the structure to collapse.
All of the above is true for literally hundreds of condo buildings, or more, along both sides of the south florida coast. Everything you can say about this building (so far) is undoubtedly true in half the beach front condos in several counties, with millions of residents.
So I'd imagine there's something unique about this one, which won't be determined for some time.
