Surfside Penthouse Sells for $86 Million — A New Record for Miami-Dade County

Surfside has once again taken the global spotlight with the extraordinary, record-setting sale of a $86 million oceanfront penthouse at The Seaway at The Surf Club. This is now the highest closed-sale price ever recorded for a condominium in Miami-Dade County, surpassing even the most elite penthouses in Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, and Fisher Island. The sale confirms Surfside’s position as one of the most exclusive luxury residential markets in the United States, fueled by international demand, limited supply, and world-class architecture.

About The Seaway at The Surf Club

Located at 9149 Collins Avenue, The Seaway is a boutique ultra-luxury residential building developed by Fort Partners, the same group behind Four Seasons Surf Club, Four Seasons Palm Beach, and other internationally recognized luxury properties. Although part of the Surf Club master development, The Seaway is a separate, ultra-private residential building known for its oversized floorplans, extremely limited inventory, and discreet, elite ownership base.

Its design features floor-to-ceiling glass, wide oceanfront terraces, private elevators, and spacious mansion-style layouts that appeal to global ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking exclusivity, privacy, and direct beachfront living. The building offers a low-density lifestyle with only a handful of residences, making it one of the rarest and most prestigious addresses along the Miami coastline.
