The ‘Uptown Beachtown’ of Surfside and its luxury condos are a sophisticated sliver of the Miami shoreline. It extends from 96th Street in the north, to 87th Street to the South. It, therefore, is in the middle of Bal Harbour and Miami Beach. The area totals about 0.56 square miles, for a population of about 6,000. It’s also within 15 miles, or 20 minutes by car, of Miami International Airport, as well as all major connecting freeways and road networks.
Surfside was incorporated in May of 1935 by 35 members of the then Surf Club. This was a popular destination for glitz and glamor icons such as Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor or Ava Gardner. The area has kept up its swank, with top names such as the Four Seasons, Fendi and the Château Group. Design and architecture legends including Antonio Citterio, Patricia Viel and Kobi Karp have also penned some of the town’s most prominent luxury condos and projects.
What’s nice about Surfside is that the raw and the refined are combined. Wild sceneries are the perfect backdrops to luxury condo décors and amenities. Most of the high-end living here includes top-range indoor and outdoor amenities, such as white-glove service, media rooms, pools and high-tech gyms. What’s more, the beauty of the surrounding ocean and dunes are a delight for residents, who can enjoy them even through floor-to-ceiling glass windows and wrap-around see-through balconies. Surfside Beach is more ‘untouched’, so whether from a beach towel or beach track, the experience is organic.
Surfside also has a very ‘zen’ vibe to it. Residents are welcomed to the many outdoor activities which promote health and fitness. The outdoors is high on the community’s agenda, with a lot of events such as Paddletopia, Zumba evenings, cooking demos or open-air movie screenings. There is a lot of energy in this beachtown, but of the more restful type. Residents can be seen strolling in between the new, trendy hotels and luxury condos and the more vintage, family-run boutiques and businesses. The feel of old and new marry very well in Surfside.

Fendi Chateau Luxury Condos
Looking at Fendi Chateau feels like looking at ocean waves, which the building’s inspired architecture beautifully emulates.

What’s more, in addition to expected amenities such as the pools and cabanas, the property also offers Gazebos with a full summer kitchen, as well as a private restaurant and gourmet kitchen.
Space is a natural occurrence in these homes, which boast 10-foot ceilings and 12-foot deep terraces. Some of the corner units have the privilege of outdoor kitchens.

Arte Surfside Luxury Condos
Arte is a true collector’s item – a work of art. This unique, pyramidal elevation has a sheer sixteen floors, right on the ocean’s rim. Despite a minimalist allure, it abounds in aesthetics and amenities. With interiors imagined by the legendary Antonio Citterio, there is a sublime use of his signature material, the elaborately-veined Roman travertine, used in ancient times. Over and above the visual appeal, there is also a gamut of offerings for the body and mind: a luxurious spa, a 75′ indoor lap pool with an onyx finishing. Well-appointed sauna and steam rooms complete the zen installations, yoga studio and hi-tech gym.
Arte’s homes are cocoons, elaborated to blend the natural elements such as air, light and the sapphire blue sea. Floors laid in elegant white oak offset the darker detailing of bronze. They reach out to vast, ambient terraces which also feature travertine as well as Brazilian Ipe. These are fitted with dashing see-through, frameless railings, which unite the abode and the ocean. As for the equally elaborate kitchens, they boast Poliform cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances and Italian marble countertops.
