Downtown Miami stacks residential towers above Flagler Street and Bayfront Park. In buildings like these the water heater is usually a closet unit fed from a pressure-reducing valve, so pressure control and riser access matter as much as the appliance.
The housing mix is unusually wide for a few blocks: 1920s commercial buildings converted to lofts on Flagler Street, post-war apartment blocks off NE 1st Avenue, and towers completed in the last decade. A heater in a converted loft may be original to a renovation, while a tower unit is usually a factory closet appliance with a building-managed shutoff.
