Part of the Miami penthouse guide — the full library of buildings, pricing and what a penthouse purchase actually involves.

Most lists of Miami’s most expensive apartments quote asking prices. Asking prices measure ambition, and they change without notice. This page does something you can check instead: for each of the buildings where Miami’s most expensive apartments actually are, it publishes the highest price the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser has on record — what a buyer really paid, when, and for how many square feet.

Nine of the ten buildings below have a verified sale on the county record. One, Aston Martin Residences, does not resolve to any folio at its published address, so it carries no number rather than an estimate.

Aston Martin Residences————
*Faena House’s record is a multi-parcel sale: one transaction across two folios, priced here against their combined area. Taking either folio alone would produce a per-foot figure that is not real.

Two things this table shows that an asking-price list cannot. Total price and price per foot do not rank the same. Palazzo Del Sol is second by total at $40,000,000 but third per foot; L’Atelier Miami Beach is third by total at $36,000,000 and second per foot, because its record is a smaller home at a higher rate. And these records span fourteen years: Icon South Beach’s has stood since December 2012 and has never been beaten, while Regalia’s was set in February 2026. The gap across the ten is wider than any list of asking prices would suggest — Faena House’s record is nearly eight times Asia’s.

Asking prices for whatever is currently listed in these buildings change constantly, and this page does not quote them. For what is actually on the market today in any of them, ask me directly — that comes from live listing data, not from a page.

The county record: $86,004,500 at Seaway at The Surf Club

The ten buildings above are where Miami’s most expensive apartments have traded for years. The single highest condo sale on the Miami-Dade record is newer, and it is in Surfside. Penthouse PH-11 at Seaway at The Surf Club, 9149 Collins Avenue, sold for $86,004,500, recorded on 10 November 2025: 16,053 square feet, about $5,358 per square foot (Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser, folio 14-2235-051-0360, checked 22 September 2026). The county marks it a qualified sale. The Real Deal reported on 24 November 2025 that it is the most expensive condo ever sold in Miami-Dade, ahead of a $44 million penthouse at the Four Seasons Residences next door.

Per foot, it sits close to Faena House’s $5,295 in the table above: the step up is in size more than in rate. More on the buildings along that stretch of Collins Avenue: Surfside condos.

The two numbers people quote against this page

Two Miami figures circulate far more widely than anything in the table above, and neither one is a closed sale. Both are worth knowing precisely, because that difference is the whole point of this page.

$120 million — Shore Club Private Collection, 1901 Collins Avenue. A 10,500 square foot oceanfront penthouse went under contract in March 2024, reported to close when the building completes. At that price it works out above $11,000 per square foot, more than double Faena House’s $5,295 — the highest verified rate in the table above. It is a contract, not a closed sale, and nothing has reached the county record yet.

$150 million — Rivage Bal Harbour, 10245 Collins Avenue. A 35,000 square foot triplex formed from two penthouses, in a building that has not delivered, and the most expensive residence ever listed in Bal Harbour. That is an asking price, and asking prices are exactly what this page does not publish.

One reference point ties them together. Coverage of the Shore Club contract in 2024 described the record it would break as the $60,000,000 paid in 2015 — the Faena House sale at the top of the table above. The record has since moved: Seaway at The Surf Club’s $86,004,500, recorded in November 2025, is a closed sale, and it is still well below the $120 million contract.

How these figures were produced. Every folio at each building’s street address was retrieved individually from the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser on 20 August 2026, filtered to residential condominium folios, and restricted to sales the county itself flags as qualified — its designation for a genuine open-market transaction between unrelated parties. Foreclosures, deeds in lieu and nominal transfers are excluded even where they carry a real price. Where one transaction spans more than one folio it is priced against the combined area and labelled as such. Bulk and portfolio transfers are not treated as apartment sales. You can check any figure yourself at the county’s property search.

Miami's most expensive apartments — frequently asked questions

What is the highest price ever paid for a Miami apartment?

$86,004,500, for penthouse PH-11 at Seaway at The Surf Club in Surfside, recorded on 10 November 2025: 16,053 square feet, about $5,358 per square foot, on the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser record. Among the ten buildings in the table, the highest is $60,000,000 at Faena House in September 2015. The county records that one as a qualified multi-parcel sale across two penthouse folios totalling 11,332 square feet, which works out at $5,295 per square foot. Read against either folio alone it produces a per-foot figure that is not real.

Is the $120 million Shore Club penthouse the new record?

Not yet. That 10,500 square foot penthouse at 1901 Collins Avenue went under contract in March 2024 and is reported to close when the building completes. It is a contract, not a closed sale, and nothing has reached the county record. Every figure in the table above is a completed transaction. The current county record is $86,004,500 at Seaway at The Surf Club, recorded in November 2025.

Which Miami building has the highest price per square foot?

Of the ten buildings in the table, Faena House at $5,295, then L’Atelier Miami Beach at $5,075 and Palazzo Del Sol at $4,092. Total price and price per foot do not rank the same: Palazzo Del Sol is second by total and third per foot, because L’Atelier’s record is a smaller home at a higher rate. The county’s overall condo record, Seaway at The Surf Club’s $86,004,500, works out slightly higher, at about $5,358.

Why does Aston Martin Residences show no price?

Because it does not resolve to any folio at its published address on the Miami-Dade roll, so there is no verified sale to publish. It carries no number rather than an estimate.

How current are these records?

They span fourteen years. Icon South Beach’s $20,963,054 has stood since December 2012 and has never been beaten. The most recent is Regalia, at $19,888,900 in February 2026. A building’s record is the highest price ever paid there, not a current asking price.
