Surf House at The Surf Club represents the definitive evolution of boutique oceanfront luxury, situated within the legendary nine-acre Four Seasons Private Residences Surf Club estate. Developed by Fort Partners and designed by the visionary French architect Jerome Engelking in collaboration with the renowned Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, Surf House is a masterclass in architectural restraint and European elegance. This 11 story sanctuary features an ultra-exclusive collection of only 17 expansive residences, offering a living experience that prioritizes privacy, heritage, and the seamless service of the Four Seasons. Estimated for completion in 2026, Surf House pays poetic tribute to the original 1965 Surf Club structure while introducing a forward-thinking aesthetic of alabaster arches, palm-shaped columns, and terrazzo cladding that stands in sophisticated contrast to the glass-heavy modernism of the Miami coastline.

Located at 8995 Collins Avenue, Surf House is an intimate sanctuary nestled along 1,350 linear feet of pristine Atlantic beachfront. The project is designed as a “collection of homes” rather than a traditional condominium, with interior spaces curated by Paris-based Italian designer Fabrizio Casiraghi to evoke the refined spirit of a grand European estate. Surrounded by the dream-like tropical gardens of Belgian landscape architect Peter Wirtz, residents enjoy an unrivaled connection to nature, where manicured greenery meets the soft white sands of Surfside. As the final residential addition to the historic Surf Club campus, Surf House offers a rare opportunity to inherit a legacy of glamour that has hosted world leaders and Hollywood icons for nearly a century.

Project Overview and Developer Vision

The vision for Surf House is centered on “Artisanal Oceanfront Living.” Fort Partners, led by Nadim Ashi, sought to create a residential environment that honors the rich history of Harvey Firestone’s original 1930s club while pushing the boundaries of contemporary craftsmanship. The building’s 11 story composition utilizes traditional materials such as fluted stone and wood to create a warmer, more textured alternative to the prevalent glassy minimalism of South Florida.

Privacy is the ultimate luxury at Surf House, with a low-density plan that limits the building to just 17 total residences. The architectural language focuses on “the movement of light,” utilizing floor-to-ceiling windows and opacified glass balconies with ceramic frit to create a soft, ethereal glow within the living spaces. Every residence serves as a flow-through retreat, capturing panoramic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the sunset over the Intracoastal Waterway and Miami skyline to the west.

Key Project Stats

Architecture and Design Excellence

Jerome Engelking’s design for Surf House is characterized by a sophisticated play of light and shadow, featuring curved alabaster facades that echo the rhythm of the tides. The residential interiors by Fabrizio Casiraghi redefine oceanfront luxury through a palette of fine natural materials, including polished woods, creamy travertines, and fluted walnut paneling. These elements are designed to age gracefully, reflecting a commitment to ageless elegance rather than passing trends.

The kitchens are professional-grade culinary centers, featuring custom Dada cabinetry, seamless Corian countertops, and a full suite of integrated Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. Primary suites are expansive wellness retreats, offering his-and-hers walk-in closets and primary baths finished with Statuarietto marble, custom rain showers, and designer soaking tubs. The outdoor living rooms are equally impressive, featuring deep terraces with glass railings that allow for unobstructed views of the horizon, seamlessly integrating the indoor environment with the coastal landscape.

Pricing and Investment Potential

Surf House at The Surf Club is positioned as one of the most exclusive real estate assets in the world. Pricing reflects the ultra-limited inventory of only 17 units, with residences starting at 8.5 million and reaching over 28 million for premier homes. The investment thesis is supported by the historic performance of the Surf Club campus, which has consistently set records for price-per-square-foot in South Florida, often exceeding 5,000 for top-tier units.

The “Four Seasons Effect” coupled with the boutique scale of Surf House creates a highly resilient asset class. With the massive migration of global wealth into Surfside and the limited availability of oceanfront parcels, Surf House represents a premier opportunity for capital preservation and long-term legacy growth.
