Surf Club Four Seasons Residences

About the Project

Surf House at The Surf Club is the latest and most intimate addition to one of the most storied addresses in American luxury real estate. An 11-story tower of just 17 residences at 8995 Collins Avenue in Surfside, Florida, Surf House represents the final residential chapter within The Surf Club campus — a nine-acre oceanfront estate stretching more than 1,350 feet of uninterrupted Atlantic beachfront. Developed by Fort Partners and designed by Paris-based architect Jerome Engelking with interiors by Italian designer Fabrizio Casiraghi and landscape architecture by Belgian master Peter Wirtz, the building carries a refined European sensibility to the edge of the ocean. With fewer than twenty homes and a 2027 delivery, Surf House occupies the rarest position in South Florida: a genuinely limited collection of ultra-luxury residences on a campus that cannot be replicated.

The Surf Club itself is one of the defining institutions of twentieth-century American leisure. Founded on New Year's Eve 1930 by Harvey Firestone alongside Carl Fisher and Irving Collins, the club opened on a then-remote strip of Surfside coastline in a Mediterranean Revival clubhouse designed by architect Russell T. Pancoast. Within years it had become the preferred escape of an extraordinary roster of mid-century luminaries: Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Winston Churchill — who came in 1946 to paint seascapes from a private cabana — the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Noel Coward, Gary Cooper, Joan Crawford, Tennessee Williams, and Liberace all passed through its gates. After a long dormancy, developer Nadim Ashi and Fort Partners acquired the nine-acre site in 2012 for 12 million and embarked on a decade-long reinvention. That effort culminated in the 2017 opening of a 77-room Four Seasons Hotel and two residential towers — all three structures designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier in collaboration with Kobi Karp — which preserved the original 1930s clubhouse while introducing a new era of oceanfront living to Surfside.

The seventeen residences at Surf House range from approximately 2,262 to 7,780 square feet and are configured with two to five bedrooms — genuinely liveable homes rather than hotel-adjacent pied-à-terres. Engelking's architecture prioritises generous proportions, deep terraces, and a palette of wood, stone, and glass that ages gracefully in the tropical light. Casiraghi's interiors bring Parisian warmth to the oceanfront setting, layered with natural textures and custom furniture. Peter Wirtz's landscape design threads the building into the broader Surf Club gardens with quiet authority. Floor-to-ceiling windows and carefully oriented terraces ensure unobstructed ocean views are a constant presence in every home.

Residents of Surf House enjoy a private amenity suite — rooftop pool and sundeck, wellness centre, spa with steam room and sauna, residents' club room, and a garden with outdoor kitchen — alongside the full program of The Surf Club campus. That campus includes The Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller, his Michelin-recognised first Florida outpost serving continental cuisine in a room that channels the club's golden-age spirit, the Champagne Bar, Lido Restaurant, and Winston's on the Beach. Four Seasons hotel services are available à la carte: 24-hour concierge and valet, in-residence dining, housekeeping, butler services, and spa treatments delivered directly to the residence. Private beach access across 1,350 feet of Surfside shoreline completes a daily life that simply cannot be assembled elsewhere on the Florida coast.

Surfside itself is a small, incorporated town of roughly five thousand residents positioned between Miami Beach to the south and the ultra-luxury enclave of Bal Harbour to the north. The neighbourhood commands strong values precisely because it offers the full amenity of the Miami Beach corridor without the density or tourist infrastructure that comes with it. Bal Harbour Shops — home to Chanel, Prada, Hermès, and Cartier — is a short walk north, while Miami's Design District and Brickell are within a twenty-minute drive. Both Miami International and Fort Lauderdale airports provide direct access to major hubs throughout the Americas and Europe.

Surf House is in active pre-sales with delivery targeted for 2027. Fort Partners has not published an official price list, but market sources cite entry points from approximately .5 million for two- and three-bedroom residences, with upper-tier homes approaching 8 million. At only 17 units, sellout is expected well before completion — the original Surf Club Four Seasons towers sold out prior to delivery, and the adjacent Seaway tower saw similarly rapid absorption. For buyers seeking new-construction access to The Surf Club campus at the intersection of architectural distinction, irreplaceable historic provenance, and the world's most recognised luxury hotel brand, Surf House is one of the last available opportunities.
