A buyer-focused ranking of Surfside's leading newer-generation residences above $3 million, from the resort-backed Surf Club to boutique Arte and distinct trophy tiers.
For buyers setting a threshold above $3 million, Surfside offers a remarkably concentrated expression of modern oceanfront living. Its principal choices are not interchangeable. One centers on a fully serviced resort campus, another favors a smaller, purely residential environment, and a third offers an especially limited collection within The Surf Club.
“New construction” requires a measured reading here. Four Seasons Private Residences at The Surf Club was completed in 2017, while Arte has sold out, so much of today’s opportunity is resale inventory rather than a direct developer purchase. The relevant proposition is newer-generation design and amenities, not necessarily pre-completion ownership.
This edition of MILLION Buyer's Guides separates the market into five buyer-relevant choices. Three are distinct developments or collections; two represent materially different tiers within The Surf Club. That distinction sharpens the ranking: a buyer seeking a core residence does not approach the market in the same way as one pursuing an estate-scale home or limited-edition penthouse.
The defining comparison is between branded hospitality and boutique privacy. The Surf Club Four Seasons Surfside represents the branded-residences model on a nine-acre campus with 965 feet of ocean frontage. Arte, by contrast, is a 12-story condominium whose limited scale and transaction history create a distinctly different ownership profile.
Asking prices are fluid. Surf Club pricing has ranged from roughly $5.7 million into the tens of millions, with offerings reaching as high as $55 million. Availability can be exceptionally thin, so buyers should treat these figures as market snapshots rather than permanent bands.
1. Four Seasons at The Surf Club Private Residences - 9001-9111 Collins Avenue
The first position goes to Surfside’s broadest expression of serviced oceanfront ownership. Four Seasons operates the resort, and the residential program comprises 150 homes and 12 limited-edition penthouses across a campus minutes from Miami Beach.
The range is unusually wide for a single address. Residences have historically extended from about 1,400 to more than 7,000 square feet, while asking prices have reached $55 million. The appeal lies in the combination of scale, ocean frontage, and a recognizable service model.
2. Arte Surfside - 8955 Collins Avenue
Arte Surfside ranks second for buyers who prefer boutique residential character to a resort setting. The 12-story oceanfront condominium sold out for nearly $225 million, and its final developer residence changed hands for $17 million in as-is condition.
Its secondary-market record adds further definition. Twenty arm’s-length sales beginning in 2020 produced a median of $3,249 per square foot. Residence 701, with more than 3,100 square feet, sold for $12.25 million in June 2025, or approximately $3,900 per square foot.
3. Surf House at The Surf Club - 8995 Collins Avenue
Surf House takes third place as the freshest low-density collection associated with The Surf Club. Its disclosed offerings illustrate both the intimacy and range available within the collection.
Two-bedroom Residence 202 was offered at $7.5 million with 2,262 interior square feet and 787 exterior square feet. Residence 201 was offered at $25.5 million with four bedrooms, a media room, 5,518 interior square feet, and 1,787 exterior square feet.
4. Four Seasons at The Surf Club Estate and Penthouse Tier - 9001-9111 Collins Avenue
This is the trophy segment for buyers prioritizing rarity, larger proportions, and top-of-market positioning. The Surf Club’s residential plan includes 12 limited-edition penthouses, while the broadest offering range has reached $55 million.
Average asking values have reached approximately $5,176 per square foot. At this level, buyers are selecting from a scarce upper tier rather than merely purchasing access to the resort campus.
5. Four Seasons at The Surf Club Core and Mid-Stack Residences - 9001-9111 Collins Avenue
The fifth choice is the comparatively accessible entry into the same Four Seasons environment. Asking prices have begun around $5.7 million-comfortably above the article’s threshold, yet well below the estate and penthouse ceiling.
This tier suits buyers who value the campus and service affiliation more than trophy scale. Thin availability remains a defining consideration: one market snapshot comprised only three listings, spanning $3.695 million to $29.95 million.
Buyers drawn to Arte’s boutique proposition can compare Arte Surfside with Eighty Seven Park Surfside to refine their preference for newer coastal condominium living. Those focused specifically on future-facing Surfside inventory may also include The Delmore Surfside in the comparison set.
The decision ultimately turns on ownership style. The Surf Club is the stronger fit for resort-backed service and a large oceanfront campus. Arte is the sharper choice for a smaller, purely residential setting with a visible resale record. Surf House occupies the space between those poles, pairing limited inventory with The Surf Club context.
Are all five entries separate buildings? No. The ranking includes three developments or collections, plus separate trophy and core tiers within Four Seasons at The Surf Club.
Does new construction mean the residences are pre-construction? No. The term is used broadly for newer-generation residences, and much of the available inventory is now resale.
When was Four Seasons Private Residences at The Surf Club completed? The oceanfront development was completed in 2017.
What is the lowest Surf Club asking price cited here? Asking prices have begun at approximately $5.7 million, although inventory and pricing can change quickly.
How large is The Surf Club campus? It occupies nine acres and includes 965 feet of ocean frontage.
How many homes are in The Surf Club residential program? The residential program includes 150 homes and 12 limited-edition penthouses.
What distinguishes Arte from The Surf Club? Arte offers a boutique, purely residential format, while The Surf Club centers on Four Seasons resort service.
What was Arte’s latest disclosed arm’s-length sale? Residence 701 sold for $12.25 million in June 2025, at approximately $3,900 per square foot.
What price range has been disclosed for Surf House? Offerings ranged from $7.5 million for Residence 202 to $25.5 million for Residence 201.
Which option best suits a buyer seeking the resort at a lower entry point? The core and mid-stack Surf Club tier is the comparatively accessible route, subject to current availability.
