Sixteen households carrying an entire oceanfront building. Everything about the economics follows from that number.
This page describes the residence. Whether it is available, and on what terms, changes without notice. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
Arte holds roughly 16 residences in a low rise oceanfront building on Surfside’s Collins Avenue stretch, designed by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel.
The upper residences are duplex penthouses with private outdoor space and, in the top homes, private pools. At this scale of building every residence is effectively a penthouse by the standards of a conventional tower.
Sixteen residences is the smallest count in this register, and the number drives everything else.
We publish no figure. Individual sales here have been reported over time in the trade press, and we have not verified a specific penthouse recording to the standard we apply elsewhere.
The building has traded in resale since delivery, which means recorded comparables exist. The desk can pull them for a specific residence.
Where a building is small and trades are few, single comparables carry more weight than usual and should be read carefully rather than averaged.
A delivered low rise building with direct oceanfront in Surfside, in a materially different register from the towers to the north and south.
Citterio Viel is a serious practice and the building is one of the more restrained pieces of architecture on this coast, which is the point of it.
Surfside is a small municipality with a specific and quiet character. It is not Miami Beach and it is not Sunny Isles, and the difference is felt daily.
Sixteen households carrying an oceanfront building means a very high cost per household and very concentrated exposure to any assessment. This is the sharpest example of that arithmetic in the register.
In a building this small, governance is personal. Who your neighbours are and how the association functions matter more here than anywhere else in this register, because there is nowhere for a disagreement to disperse.
Get the reserve position and the milestone inspection status. Surfside in particular is a municipality where structural diligence carries weight for reasons every buyer understands.
At this scale the association is effectively a small group of people who must agree on large expenditures, and that dynamic matters more than any finish. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will get the governance documents, the reserve position and the assessment history.
We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what is actually available at the top of this building, what the last comparable trade was, and where we would not proceed. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
