In 1974, TowerHouse debuted as one of Miami Beach’s premier luxury condominiums. Situated on the Intracoastal Waterway with views both spectacular and serene of the city and the bay and boasting sprawling residences of over 3000 square feet, this striking building was immediately a coveted address. But over the years, time and water infiltration had taken their toll. The once-grand building was looking a little rough around the edges.
“It had faced water intrusion problems for the life-span of the building. They’d been doing patching as they went,” said TowerHouse Owner’s Rep Lenny Loscalzo. In 2018, a massive restoration project sought to replace existing stucco on most of the exterior walls which had become delaminated due to water infiltration. Additionally, major structural and waterproofing deficiencies at the intersection of the original concrete slab and concrete masonry block exterior walls needed to be corrected. In 2011, when the building needed to be painted, the Association had used StoColor Lotusan coating because of its longevity and self-cleaning Lotus-Effect® technology. When it came time for this restoration, they turned to Sto again.
