Arte Surfside
About Arte Surfside
Arte Surfside is a 12-story, 16-unit ultra-luxury condominium at 8955 Collins Avenue in Surfside, delivered in 2019. Developed by Alex Sapir of Sapir Corp in collaboration with designer Giovanni Fasciano, and designed by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel (ACPV) — the celebrated Italian architecture and design firm — Arte represents one of the most exclusive residential offerings in South Florida. With only 16 residences in the entire building, each occupying a full or half floor, it delivers a level of privacy and spatial generosity that is virtually impossible to replicate. This was ACPV's first project in the United States, bringing the refined Italian design sensibility of a firm known for its work with luxury brands like Bulgari Hotels to the Miami oceanfront.

Why Buyers Choose Arte Surfside
Extreme Exclusivity — Only 16 Residences
We advise clients that Arte Surfside's 16-unit structure is not a marketing gimmick — it is a fundamental characteristic that shapes every aspect of the living experience. Our clients who purchase here are buying into a level of privacy and scarcity that simply does not exist in buildings with 50, 100, or 300 units. When we model resale scenarios for Arte, the supply constraint is the single most powerful factor supporting long-term value.
Italian Architectural Heritage by ACPV
Our clients who are familiar with the Bulgari Hotels immediately understand the ACPV design language — warm materials, meticulous detailing, and a sense of restrained luxury that prioritizes how spaces feel rather than how they photograph. We see buyers at Arte who have specifically sought out this aesthetic after experiencing it in European hospitality, and who want to live with that same standard of design daily.
Full-Floor and Half-Floor Living
We consistently hear from clients that the floor plan configuration at Arte is what closes the deal. Having an entire floor or half-floor to yourself — with private elevator access and no shared corridors — creates a residential experience that is closer to a single-family estate than a condominium. For buyers transitioning from houses, this is one of the only condo buildings where they will not feel like they have compromised on privacy.
Prime Surfside Oceanfront Position
Arte's location on Collins Avenue in Surfside places it in what we consider the most desirable stretch of oceanfront between South Beach and Fort Lauderdale. The combination of direct beach access, walkability to Bal Harbour Shops, and the quiet residential character of Surfside creates a lifestyle proposition that our clients find difficult to match elsewhere in the market.
Discerning Resident Community
With only 16 units, the resident community at Arte is naturally small and selective. Our clients value the knowledge that their neighbors have gone through a similar level of due diligence to purchase in a building of this caliber. The small community also means building decisions are made efficiently, and the quality of building maintenance and services reflects the expectations of a highly discerning ownership group.
Our Take on Arte Surfside
Arte Surfside is designed for the buyer who considers exclusivity non-negotiable. These are typically ultra-high-net-worth individuals or families who have owned multiple luxury properties and are specifically seeking a residence where privacy, material quality, and scarcity are the defining characteristics. The 16-unit structure self-selects for a buyer who wants the absolute minimum number of neighbors in an oceanfront setting.
The building delivers on its promise of Italian luxury. The ACPV design is evident in every detail — from the lobby materials to the kitchen hardware to the way natural light is managed across the floor plates. The residences themselves are enormous by condo standards, and the full-floor configurations in particular offer a sense of space and privacy that is extraordinary. The Surfside location adds meaningfully to the overall proposition, providing walkable access to Bal Harbour Shops and a quieter beach environment than Miami Beach.
Buyers should understand that the exclusivity of Arte comes with proportionally higher carrying costs. With only 16 units sharing the cost of a full-service building operation — 24-hour concierge, security, spa, pool, maintenance — the per-unit HOA burden is significant. We advise clients to model total annual ownership costs carefully. Resale liquidity is another consideration: with so few units, there may be periods where no comparable sales exist, which can complicate appraisals and financing.
We recommend Arte Surfside to buyers for whom exclusivity is the priority and for whom the carrying costs are immaterial to the overall value proposition. If you are comparing Arte to larger buildings and the 16-unit structure is what draws you in, then this building is likely the right choice — there is nothing else quite like it in South Florida. For buyers more focused on maximizing square footage per dollar or minimizing HOA exposure, other Surfside options may be more aligned with their objectives.
About Arte Surfside
Arte Surfside at 8955 Collins Avenue represents the pinnacle of oceanfront luxury living in one of South Florida’s most desirable coastal enclaves. Developed by Alex Sapir and Giovanni Fasciano and designed by the internationally acclaimed Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel studio, Arte marked the celebrated Italian architect’s first residential project in the United States when it was completed in 2019. Rising 12 stories with only 16 residences, Arte is among the most exclusive condominiums in the greater Miami market, offering a level of privacy and architectural distinction that is virtually unmatched along the oceanfront corridor between Miami Beach and Bal Harbour.
The residences at Arte Surfside are defined by extraordinary scale, with expansive floor plans ranging from approximately 3,600 to over 5,000 square feet of interior living space. Every home features a private outdoor terrace with a swimming pool, allowing residents to enjoy resort-style living from the comfort of their own residence. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, while interiors showcase the refined minimalism and meticulous material selection for which Antonio Citterio is renowned. Custom Italian cabinetry, premium stone surfaces, and integrated smart-home technology are standard throughout.
Arte’s amenities are curated to complement the building’s intimate scale and ultra-luxury positioning. Residents enjoy a private beach with dedicated attendants, an oceanfront swimming pool and sun deck, a state-of-the-art fitness center designed by Technogym, a full-service spa, a private cinema, and a residents-only lounge and dining area. Valet parking, 24-hour security, and a dedicated concierge team ensure that every aspect of daily life is managed with precision and discretion. The building also offers private storage for art collections, reflecting the sophisticated profile of its ownership.
Surfside has emerged as one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in South Florida, prized for its quiet residential character, walkable streets, and proximity to the region’s finest shopping and dining. Arte’s location places residents just minutes from the legendary Bal Harbour Shops, the vibrant restaurants and galleries of Miami Beach, and the cultural institutions of the Design District and Wynwood. For families, the area offers highly regarded schools and a strong sense of community, while Miami International Airport and major transportation corridors are easily accessible for domestic and international travel.

Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel (ACPV)
Architecture
ACPV is a Milan-based firm led by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, internationally recognized for the Bulgari Hotels collection and a body of work that seamlessly integrates architecture, interior design, and material craft. Arte Surfside represents their first completed project in the United States, bringing a distinctly Italian design sensibility to the Miami oceanfront.
Surfside
Arte Surfside sits on Collins Avenue in the heart of Surfside, a small oceanfront town that has become one of the most prestigious residential addresses in South Florida. The building is steps from the beach and within walking distance of Bal Harbour Shops, widely regarded as one of the premier luxury retail destinations in the Americas. Surfside itself offers a village-like atmosphere with independent restaurants, cafes, and shops along Harding Avenue — a stark contrast to the commercial density of Miami Beach to the south. The town's strict zoning and limited developable land ensure that the low-rise, residential character will be preserved, which is a key consideration for buyers seeking long-term value in an area that cannot be overbuilt.

Perguntas Frequentes
Why is Arte Surfside considered ultra-luxury?
Arte Surfside has only 16 residences in the entire building, with units ranging from approximately 3,600 to over 8,000 square feet. Most floors have just one or two residences, giving owners full-floor or half-floor privacy. This extreme exclusivity, combined with the ACPV design pedigree and the quality of finishes, places Arte in a category that very few buildings in Miami can claim.
What is the price range at Arte Surfside?
Arte Surfside trades at the upper end of the South Florida market. Resale pricing generally ranges from $12 million for half-floor residences to well over $35 million for the penthouses. Per-square-foot pricing is among the highest in Surfside, reflecting the building's extreme scarcity — with only 16 units, availability is inherently limited.
Who designed Arte Surfside?
Arte was designed by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel (ACPV), the Milan-based architecture and interior design firm. ACPV is known internationally for the Bulgari Hotels brand and a portfolio of high-end residential and hospitality projects across Europe and Asia. Arte Surfside was their first project in the United States, bringing an Italian design vocabulary that emphasizes material quality, proportion, and understated elegance.
What is living in a 16-unit building like?
Residents describe the experience as closer to a private estate than a condominium. With so few neighbors, common areas are rarely crowded, the pool deck feels private, and the building maintains an atmosphere of quiet exclusivity. The trade-off is that the smaller resident base means higher per-unit HOA contributions to maintain the building and its services, which buyers should factor into their ownership costs.
What are the HOA fees at Arte Surfside?
Monthly maintenance fees at Arte Surfside are among the highest in the market, typically ranging from $8,000 to $15,000 or more depending on unit size. This reflects the reality of maintaining a full-service luxury building — concierge, security, spa, pool, common areas — across only 16 units. We advise clients to view these fees in the context of the building's exclusivity and the per-unit service level they enable.
How does Arte compare to Eighty Seven Park next door?
The two buildings serve different buyer profiles. Eighty Seven Park, designed by Renzo Piano, offers 70 units with a design philosophy rooted in lightness and landscape integration. Arte, with only 16 units, prioritizes exclusivity and Italian material luxury. Our clients who choose Arte over Eighty Seven Park are typically buyers for whom unit count and privacy are the top priorities, and who respond to the warmer, more tactile Italian design aesthetic.
Is Arte Surfside a good long-term investment?
The market data supports a strong case for Arte. Ultra-low-density buildings in prime oceanfront locations have historically shown strong value retention. With only 16 units, Arte can never be diluted by excess inventory. The ACPV pedigree adds an architectural significance that tends to appreciate in relevance over time. We advise clients that scarcity at this level is a structural advantage that insulates the building from broader market fluctuations.
