DAMAC International has submitted an application for planning approval to the Town of Surfside, featuring two design variations from Zaha Hadid Architects. The proposed 12-story oceanfront condominium will feature 57 residences at 8777 Collins Ave. Both designs boast a twin-building duality with a sculptural form modulated by nested crescents that coalesce at the corners.

The property was formerly home to Champlain Towers South, which tragically collapsed in June 2021 resulting in 98 deaths. DAMAC purchased the 1.8-acre oceanfront site in July 2022 and is eager to honor its location within Surfside’s community while providing closure and new beginnings following this tragedy. Niall Mc Loughlin, Senior Vice President of Communications for DAMAC International stated: “We know we cannot replace what was so painfully lost, but it is our desire that the building honors and respects its location at the heart of Surfside’s community and offers a sense of closure to this tragic event while also providing a sense of new beginnings.”
