Condo Replacement Cost Estimator
Leading provider of condo replacement estimating services.
Condo replacement in Florida averages $325-$575 per square foot in 2026 for complete structural rebuilds, with typical 1,400-1,800 sf 2/2 units costing $455K-$1.04M and mid-size 100-unit towers reaching $50M-$90M factoring FBC-mandated impact glazing, post-Surfside balcony reconstruction, and Miami-Dade HVHZ wind engineering driving coastal premiums. Pompano Beach HOAs budget $375-$625/sf for 12-18 story concrete structures requiring 2-hour fire-rated corridors, epoxy-coated rebar for salt-air corrosion, and NOA-certified windows resisting Category 5 debris impact, while Tampa inland projects achieve $300-$500/sf using cost-effective steel frame with standard Low-E glass.
These comprehensive estimates capture concrete ($175-$275/sf), MEP systems ($80-$130/sf), elevators ($300K/ea), and 30% soft costs (permits, engineering, impact fees), positioning contractors to maximize insurance recoveries through precise Xactimate line items post-hurricane claims.

Frequently Asked Question
In 2026, full condo replacement costs in Florida typically range from $325 to $575 per square foot. Coastal high-rise buildings can exceed $725 per square foot due to HVHZ wind engineering, impact glazing, and post-Surfside structural mandates.
A standard 1,400–1,800 sq ft 2BR/2BA unit generally costs between $455,000 and $1.04 million, depending on location, building height, and structural requirements.
Coastal premiums (20%–40%) are driven by Miami-Dade HVHZ requirements, impact-rated NOA windows, salt-air corrosion protection, epoxy-coated rebar, and Category 5 wind resistance engineering.
Post-Surfside legislation (SB 4-D) added $125–$225 per square foot in mandatory safety upgrades, including balcony reconstruction, structural inspections, rebar assessments, and enhanced reserve funding.
Structural concrete costs typically range from $175 to $275 per square foot, with shear walls, elevator cores, and post-tension slabs adding significant premiums in mid- and high-rise buildings.
