Makai Amenities and Features
About the Building
Makai was completed in 2006 and rises 22 stories above the Coastal Highway corridor in northern Ocean City. The building's reinforced concrete construction was designed to exceed Maryland coastal building standards, featuring impact-resistant windows throughout and a storm-rated exterior skin.
With only 196 units across 22 floors, Makai maintains a lower unit-density than many comparable Ocean City high-rises, which owners and guests consistently note as a premium. The building's layout places all amenities on the 3rd-floor podium level, keeping the lobby clear and providing a resort-style pool deck shielded from street noise.
