Four questions come up in every first conversation about Ocean House Surfside. Here they are in order, with what the record says and what the record does not.
This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
Ocean House Surfside is at 9309 to 9317 Collins Avenue, Surfside, on the ocean, between Bal Harbour and Miami Beach; views to the east, south and west. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison. This page is the first-time Miami buyer’s reading of it, as a framework to verify, never as a finding.
The record, in the developer’s words: Development: MTP Oceanside LLC, developer of record (marketed with Multiplan); the sheet names the developer, not a marketing brand. Architecture: Arquitectonica, Bernardo Fort-Brescia; landscape by ArquitectonicaGEO. Position: 9309 to 9317 Collins Avenue, Surfside, on the ocean, between Bal Harbour and Miami Beach; views to the east, south and west. Residences: 25 residences of two to five bedrooms.
Compare as you read: Alba Palm Beach and Banyan Tree Residences answer the same questions differently, and the desk holds the documents for all three.
The developer’s deposit schedule for Ocean House Surfside is a contract exhibit held by the desk and read with you before signing; it is not published. Florida law requires deposits to sit in escrow, and lets a developer use amounts above ten percent for construction with the right disclosures; the question is which account, which conditions, and what the contract says if delivery is late.
25 residences of two to five bedrooms. A delivery date in a brochure is an estimate; the outside date is in the purchase agreement, and the difference between the two is where buyers get surprised. Ask for the outside date, the milestone the developer has reached today, and the penalty if the outside date passes.
Rooftop pool and spa pool with ocean views, indoor and outdoor rooftop lounges, summer kitchen, private fitness area, ensuite spa with steam and sauna, cinema, game room, staff quarters with service kitchen, private garage for six cars and private storage, mailroom with package receiving, 24 hour valet, EV charging, double height lobby, covered porte-cochère. Every amenity has a line in the first budget: staffing, insurance, reserves, and any brand or management fee. Ask for the estimated first budget by line and for the reserve schedule; the law now watches the reserves.
Balconies up to 12 feet deep with wood-like ceiling accents; private elevators with dedicated lobbies; floor to ceiling impact glass; ceilings up to 12 feet in the penthouse; Poliform cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances, Fantini fixtures, natural stone; delivered finished with curated flooring. The second buyer is the same kind of person as the first, arriving three to five years later into a building where every neighbour closed at once. The lines that hold value are the ones the first buyers fought over. Ask which lines went first in the current release.
Four questions, one sitting, one desk.

We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed. For a first conversation that means the four questions before the rendering. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
