A provisional Surfside residential shortlist for boating households, with a clear distinction between architectural appeal, condominium eligibility and the separate verification of slip rights and navigable routes.
Surfside’s appeal begins along oceanfront Collins Avenue, where architecture and residential scale shape the buying conversation. For a yacht-owning household, however, an ocean address is only part of the decision. The residence, the berth and the route to open water each deserve separate scrutiny.
The five properties below form a provisional residential shortlist, not a verified yacht-access ranking. Transferable slip rights and vessel-specific bridge clearances remain unconfirmed for every entry. Arte’s current new-construction eligibility and 9300 Collins Avenue’s individual condominium ownership structure also require confirmation before either becomes a purchase candidate.
Design can still help establish priorities. The Antonio Citterio association at Arte Surfside gives architecture-focused buyers a reason to investigate, but it is not evidence of a boating entitlement. For this audience, the right home must work alongside a separately documented marine arrangement.
1. Arte Surfside - Antonio Citterio design
Arte takes first position as a design-led residential consideration within Surfside’s Collins Avenue oceanfront corridor. Its Antonio Citterio association is the supported distinction here-not an established marina facility or slip package.
Buyers should first confirm whether the particular offering meets their definition of new construction. Current new-construction eligibility and bundled boating rights remain unestablished. Treat Arte as an architectural preference to investigate, not as the strongest documented option for yacht access.
2. Ocean House Surfside - 25 residences at 9317 Collins Avenue
Ocean House comprises 25 residences across 12 floors, with estimated completion in 2027. Indicative starting pricing of approximately $5 million provides an initial budget reference, not confirmation of an available residence.
Its boutique scale makes it a candidate for buyers prioritizing a smaller residential collection. Neither a resident marina nor a transferable slip entitlement has been established, so the boating budget and berth search should remain separate from the apartment comparison.
3. Surf Row Residences - Revised 24-unit condominium scheme
Surf Row’s March 2026 configuration comprises 24 condominium residences at 8800 Collins Avenue, formerly addressed as 8809 Harding Avenue. LD&D and One Capital secured $30.5 million in construction financing from Maxim Capital Group. Indicative starting pricing is around $1.4 million.
Older project details describe eight units, two floors and estimated completion in 2025. Use the newer 24-unit configuration for initial consideration, then reconcile the specifications with current offering documents. Construction financing marks a concrete project milestone; it does not establish delivery certainty, resident dockage or transferable boating rights.
4. The Delmore Surfside - Zaha Hadid Architects design
At 8777 Collins Avenue, The Delmore comprises approximately 37 residences across 12 floors, with estimated completion in 2029. Its association with Zaha Hadid Architects offers a distinct architectural point of comparison within the shortlist.
The longer horizon warrants particular attention from owners coordinating a future home with a boating arrangement. Resident slip rights remain unconfirmed. Without a separate commitment, a berth available during the buying process should not be assumed to remain available at residential delivery.
5. 9300 Collins Avenue - Conditional ownership candidate
Kushner’s 9300 Collins Avenue development is described as 68 residences, with layouts ranging from studios to four bedrooms and anticipated completion in late 2026. Its scale and layout range distinguish it from the smaller collections above.
This fifth entry is conditional. The multifamily description and references to condominium-level finishes do not establish individual condominium ownership. Confirm that a residence can be purchased before comparing contracts, and do not infer a boating entitlement from the address or finish specification.
A buyer considering Ocean House Surfside has a different planning horizon from one considering a project with estimated completion in 2029. Neither timeline is a proxy for marina availability. Estimated completion years are not delivery commitments, and starting prices are not live inventory.
For The Delmore Surfside, the practical question is whether a future boating arrangement can be secured on terms compatible with the intended move. Ask separately when the residence may be ready, when a berth could become usable and what happens if those dates diverge.
For Surf Row, first resolve the revised unit count and current schedule. For 9300 Collins Avenue, resolve ownership before timing. This sequence keeps attractive residential details from obscuring the threshold question: what can the buyer contract to acquire?
A slip’s advertised dimensions do not establish the buyer’s legal right to use it, retain it or pass it to a successor. Ask counsel to identify the instrument creating the entitlement and determine whether it constitutes ownership, a lease, a license or another arrangement. These are diligence questions, not descriptions of rights at the shortlisted properties.
Request written answers on duration, renewal, assignment, required approvals and whether the entitlement is tied to a particular residence. Ask what happens on resale and whether a replacement vessel requires separate acceptance. Keep any promised boating benefit distinct from the residential purchase until its terms are documented.
The nearby example at 34 Bal Bay Drive in Bal Harbour illustrates the distinction. Its advertised 50-foot-plus slip and ocean access through Haulover Inlet do not, by themselves, establish transferable ownership rights or numerical bridge clearance. It is a separate property, not an amenity of this shortlist.
Surfside boating households also consider Miami Beach marinas and yacht services. The relevant comparison is not simply which residence appears closest to water, but which home-and-berth combination can support the intended vessel on acceptable terms.
Before relying on a route, ask a qualified marine professional to identify every relevant bridge, its clearance basis and the conditions affecting passage. Provide the vessel’s actual dimensions and operating configuration. Request a route-specific assessment rather than accepting a general promise of ocean access.
No bridge names, numerical clearances, tidal reference levels or vessel-specific routes are established for these five candidates. There is therefore no sound basis here to label any candidate bridge-free or suitable for a particular yacht. Residential distinction and boating suitability must each stand on their own evidence.
Keep the shortlist residential until the marine details are documented. Architecture, scale and timing can narrow the home search; ownership eligibility, transferable rights and a vessel-specific route assessment determine whether the complete arrangement warrants a commitment.

No. It is a provisional residential shortlist, with boating suitability requiring separate legal and vessel-specific review.

The Delmore is associated with Zaha Hadid Architects and listed with approximately 37 residences across 12 floors at 8777 Collins Avenue. Completion is estimated for 2029.
Individual condominium ownership is not established by its multifamily description. Confirm the ownership structure before treating its 68 residences as condominium purchase options.
No numerical bridge clearances or vessel-specific routes are established for the shortlist. A qualified marine professional should assess the actual berth-to-ocean route for the intended vessel.
No. The 50-foot-plus slip advertised at 34 Bal Bay Drive illustrates that slip size and ocean-access language do not establish transferable ownership rights.
No. Completion dates are estimates, while starting prices are indicative references rather than delivery commitments or confirmation of live inventory.
