Mar Azul Condominium Key Biscayne

Mar Azul is an oceanfront condominium at 600 Grapetree Drive in Key Biscayne. The association engaged TISW CORP to modernize exterior openings—impact windows and large-format sliding glass doors—while preserving unobstructed Atlantic views and meeting Miami-Dade impact and water-infiltration performance requirements.

Client Goals

Achieve full Miami-Dade / Florida Building Code compliance (impact, pressure, water)
Refresh sightlines and finishes to align with Mar Azul’s boutique luxury profile
Minimize disruption in an occupied high-rise environment
Improve comfort via better noise reduction, solar control, and air/water tightness

Challenges & Our Solutions

Challenges

Ocean-exposed façades with wind-driven rain and salt air
Oversized slider panels requiring engineered rigging and precise handling at height
Strict submittals/approvals and water-infiltration performance verification

Our Solution

TISW CORP delivered a turn-key, occupied-building retrofit:

Impact-rated assemblies specified to tower design pressures and exposure zones
Performance glazing (laminated + low-E/solar control) tuned for comfort and acoustics
Resident-centric phasing: stack-by-stack scheduling, daily coordination, clean work areas
Precision installation using swing stages and crane/smart-lift handling for oversized units
QA & documentation: targeted water testing, punch-list control, and closeout package
