SURFSIDE – The site of the Surfside condo collapse, which tragically claimed 98 lives in 2021, is being transformed into an ultra-luxury residential development. DAMAC International, a Dubai-based real estate developer, has revealed plans for The Delmore, a 12-story boutique condominium set to rise at 8777 Collins Avenue in Surfside, Miami. The project will feature 37 “mansions in the sky,” each starting at $15 million, as well as a range of world-class amenities, such as a suspended 75-foot acrylic swimming pool, meditation garden, and residential butlers.

Designed by the internationally renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, The Delmore will showcase the firm’s signature sinuous curves and sculptural façades, blending with the natural beauty of its oceanfront surroundings. The building’s unique architectural style, which includes wraparound terraces and shell-shaped fins, is set to become an iconic part of Miami’s skyline.
The development will cater to a select few buyers, with each residence offering expansive living spaces averaging 7,000 square feet, including private elevator entry foyers. The penthouses will span more than 10,000 square feet, offering sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and the Miami skyline.
Beyond the lavish residences, The Delmore will feature a wide array of amenities designed to enhance the lifestyle of its elite residents. The property will boast a state-of-the-art fitness center, a private Michelin-starred restaurant, a wellness spa, and an outdoor meditation garden with cascading reflective pools and yoga spaces. The rooftop deck, featuring the transparent floating pool, will provide unparalleled views of Miami’s coastline, further solidifying the property as a high-end destination.
Construction for The Delmore has already begun, with completion expected in 2029. The project is set to be a centerpiece of Miami’s Billionaire’s Triangle, an area known for its exclusivity and high-end real estate. The development will also be a key part of the ongoing transformation of Surfside, a community still healing from the devastating collapse.
You would have to be a nut to buy a property in Florida. You would have to be a fool to finance such a purchase. You would have to rather dull to insure such a property.
If you want to live there, rent.
