⚠️ About the grey “Building facts” box above this line. It is generated automatically by the site template and it describes a building that no longer exists — 8 units, Est. 2024, from $5.9 Million. Surf Row was completely redesigned in 2024 and is now 24 residences starting at $1.4 million. That box cannot be edited from this page. Everything below is current as of 26 August 2026 and supersedes it.

The building on this page no longer exists

Until August 2026 this page described Surf Row Residences as “an eight-unit luxury condo building” with duplex and triplex layouts of 3,500 to 5,600 square feet, plus 2,000 square feet of private outdoor space each, two- and three-car private garages, and residences starting at $5.9 million. It said construction would begin “in the second quarter of next year” with completion “expected in 2024”.

That scheme was abandoned. In October 2024 The Real Deal reported that LD&D and its partners had relaunched sales for a fundamentally different building: roughly two dozen condominiums of 900 to 2,000 square feet, one to three bedrooms, priced from $1.4 million to about $4 million. By the March 2026 construction-loan announcement the count had settled at 24 residences.

The design team changed with it. The building now going up is by Alfonso Jurado Architecture and Boris Pena Architects — described as a low-scale building shaped by its coastal context, with layered glass façades, skylit interiors and integrated landscaping. It is not the building this page was describing, by any measure: not the number of homes, not their size, not their price, not their layout and not their architect.

This matters beyond housekeeping. Anyone who came to this page in the last two years looking for a 3,500-square-foot Surfside townhouse at $5.9 million was being pointed at something that had ceased to exist. And anyone who might genuinely want what Surf Row now is — a 900-square-foot one-bedroom near the beach at $1.4 million — would have taken one look at “from $5.9 million” and left.

Smaller homes, higher price per foot

Run the two schemes against each other and you get one of the cleanest illustrations I have seen of what happened to the Miami new-condo market between 2022 and 2026.

• 2022 scheme: 8 townhouses, from 3,500 sq ft, from about $5,000,000 → roughly $1,429 per square foot.
• Current scheme: 24 residences, from 900 sq ft, from $1,400,000 → roughly $1,556 per square foot.

The homes are about 74% smaller. The entry ticket is about 72% lower. And the rate per square foot is roughly 9% higher.

Nothing about that is a discount. What changed is not the value of Surfside real estate but the size of cheque buyers were willing to write. A developer facing a market that will not absorb $5 million townhouses, but will absorb $1.4 million apartments, does not cut the price per foot — it cuts the foot count. The unit shrinks so the ticket fits the buyer, and the price per square foot goes up because smaller homes always carry a premium per foot. You saw the identical mechanic at The Crosby at Miami Worldcenter, where recorded deeds put the 260-square-foot studios at nearly twice the rate per foot of the largest homes.

What is unusual here is that the developer said it out loud. Diego Bonet, managing partner of LD&D, explained the redesign to The Real Deal: “Everyone thought the world was going to be a different place. As the market continued to evolve, and things went back to normal, we made the decision to make the units smaller.” That is a straightforward admission that the 2021–22 thesis — that buyers had permanently shifted to wanting far more space — did not hold. Most developers who redrew a project in that window have never said so.

For a buyer, the practical read is this: at roughly $1,556 per square foot for an entry one-bedroom in a 24-home building a block from the beach, you are paying a boutique-scarcity premium, not a bulk price. Whether that is right depends entirely on what comparable Surfside stock trades at per foot, which is the number to ask for — not the headline $1.4 million.

Inside the residences

Interiors as the developer presents them — renderings, not photographs of finished homes.

This one is genuinely being built

After several pages on this site about projects that stalled, it is worth being clear that Surf Row is not one of them. The verifiable milestones are real and recent:

• Land acquired 25 August 2021 for $7,300,000, on a qualified warranty deed — a genuine arm’s-length purchase, confirmed in the county record.
• Sales relaunched October 2024 on the redesigned scheme.
• Broke ground in late 2025.
• $30,500,000 construction loan closed with Maxim Capital Group in March 2026, reported by Florida YIMBY, PROFILEmiami and Commercial Observer.
• $23,000,000 in presales reported at that point.
• Completion targeted for 2027.

Land owned outright, ground broken, construction financing closed, presales banked: that is the full set of the four things I tell buyers to check, and Surf Row has all four. Diego Bonet described the financing as “an important step forward as we bring Surf Row’s vision to life”.

One honest caveat. The delivery date has already moved. At the October 2024 relaunch, completion was reported as 2026; by March 2026 the target was 2027. A year’s slip on a small building that had not yet broken ground is unremarkable, but it is a slip, and if a 2027 closing matters to your plans you should build in room.

The developers have also pledged $1 million towards improvements to 88th Street and the surrounding public space — the kind of commitment worth asking about specifically, since public-realm pledges attached to approvals are sometimes phased over years.

The amenity levels

The site, and the address that will not search

A practical note that will save you an hour. Surf Row markets itself at 8800 Collins Avenue, but the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser returns zero records for that address. The parcel is indexed as 8809 Harding Avenue — folio 14-2235-005-0360 — which is the address the site carried before the project was named.

What the county shows there, as at 26 August 2026: a single parcel of 28,565 square feet (0.66 acres), classified “VACANT LAND – COMMERCIAL” with a year built of zero, assessed for 2026 at $5,706,525. The building under construction has not yet been added to the roll and there is no condominium declaration, so there are no individual folios and no recorded sale prices — entirely normal for a project that broke ground months ago.

The 25 August 2021 purchase at $7,300,000 is flagged qualified by the county, so it is a real market price: about $256 per square foot of land, on a non-waterfront site.

That last word is worth pausing on. The site is not on the water. Surf Row sits a block back from the beach on the Collins/Harding block at 88th Street — walkable to the sand, near North Shore Park, the Surf Club and Bal Harbour Shops, but without a waterfront position or the views and price floor that come with one. The rooftop amenity deck is where the ocean view lives in this building. Anyone comparing it to oceanfront Surfside stock should adjust accordingly, in both directions: no waterfront premium, and no waterfront insurance and assessment exposure either.

What to check before you buy here

• Which scheme your paperwork describes. If you signed anything on Surf Row before October 2024, you contracted for a different building. Establish in writing what you now hold.
• The price per square foot, not the headline price. At roughly $1,556 per foot at entry, ask for recent Surfside per-foot comparables before deciding whether the boutique premium is worth paying.
• The final unit count and mix — reported as 25 at relaunch and 24 in March 2026. Small buildings change; confirm what is being built and how many homes share the amenities and the budget.
• The completion date in the contract, and the remedies if it slips again. The target has already moved from 2026 to 2027.
• The RH furnishing package terms — reported at $50 to $80 per square foot. Establish whether it is optional and what exactly it includes.
• What the beach butler service and the amenity programme cost to run, per home, per month. In a 24-home building, 6,400 square feet of amenities and a staffed service are divided among very few owners.
• The status of the $1 million 88th Street commitment, and whether any part of it is assessed to owners.

Surf Row is a real project with real financing, in a genuinely desirable pocket of Surfside, run by developers who were willing to admit publicly that their first idea was wrong and to redraw it. That is a better sign than most. Just make sure you are looking at the building that is actually going up — not the one this page described for the last two years.

Surf Row Residences Surfside — Frequently Asked Questions

How many residences does Surf Row have?

24, of one to three bedrooms, from 900 to 2,000 square feet. That is a complete change from the original scheme, which was eight townhouses starting at 3,500 square feet. The project was redesigned and relaunched in October 2024, and was reported as 25 units at that point and 24 by March 2026.

What do homes at Surf Row cost?

From $1,400,000 up to about $4,000,000. This page previously said prices started at $5.9 million, which was the pricing of the abandoned eight-townhouse scheme. Note that at $1.4 million for 900 square feet the entry price is roughly $1,556 per square foot — slightly more per foot than the original, much larger homes.

Why was Surf Row redesigned?

The developers decided the market would not support the original large townhouses. Diego Bonet of LD&D told The Real Deal: “Everyone thought the world was going to be a different place. As the market continued to evolve, and things went back to normal, we made the decision to make the units smaller.” The result was smaller homes at lower total prices but a slightly higher price per square foot.

Is Surf Row actually under construction?

Yes. It broke ground in late 2025 and closed a $30.5 million construction loan from Maxim Capital Group in March 2026, with $23 million in presales reported. The developers own the land outright, having bought it for $7,300,000 in August 2021. Completion is targeted for 2027, having previously been given as 2026.

Is Surf Row on the water?

No. The site is a 28,565 square foot non-waterfront parcel a block back from the beach, at Collins Avenue and 88th Street. It is walkable to the sand, North Shore Park, the Surf Club and Bal Harbour Shops, but it has no waterfront position. Ocean views come from the rooftop amenity deck rather than from a waterfront frontage.

Why can’t I find 8800 Collins Avenue in the county records?

Because the county indexes the parcel as 8809 Harding Avenue, folio 14-2235-005-0360 — the address the site carried before the project was named. A search for 8800 Collins Avenue returns nothing at all, which looks like the property does not exist rather than that the address is wrong.

Who is developing Surf Row Residences?

LD&D, led by Diego and Alejandro Bonet, with IGEQ (George Samarjian) and ONE Capital (Daniel de la Vega). The architects are Alfonso Jurado Architecture and Boris Pena Architects. ONE Sotheby’s International Realty handles sales, and the residences are furnished through a collaboration with RH.
