Ocean House Surfside: Oceanfront Residences and Water-View Layouts

Ocean House Surfside stands at 9317 Collins Avenue in Surfside, directly on the Atlantic Ocean and just south of Bal Harbour. The developer is Multiplan Real Estate Asset Management, the architect is Arquitectonica with Bernardo Fort-Brescia leading the design, and the interiors are by Carla Guilhem. Florida YIMBY reported in February 2025 that construction had begun on a 25-unit condominium with completion expected in 2027, and the official project websites describe the building as 12 stories with two- to five-bedroom configurations.

The scale is the point of the project. Twenty-five homes in one oceanfront building means few residences per floor, and that shapes how each plan can use the water: more glass, more exposure and more outdoor space per home than a typical tower floorplate allows. This guide reads the plans in that light, line by line, rather than as a list of features.

The official website lists the location by drive time: Bal Harbour Shops about five minutes away, South Beach about ten, and Downtown Miami and Miami International Airport about 25 minutes each. For a buyer who wants the beach at the door and the shopping and dining of Bal Harbour close by, the address sits between the two.

According to the project's official site, Fort-Brescia's design offers views to the east, south and west, taking in the ocean and the Miami skyline. In practice that means the Atlantic is the primary view, with Bal Harbour, Miami Beach and Downtown Miami as the secondary ones. The official residence description lists all four vistas as part of the standard offering.

Outdoor space is what delivers those views. The developer's site describes expansive balconies with wood-like ceiling accents, and clear glass terraces on select residences. Published feature lists put the deepest terraces at up to 12 feet. Ceilings are approximately 10 feet in all residences and up to 12 feet in the penthouse, and the sliding glass doors and windows are floor-to-ceiling and impact-resistant.

Those details matter for how a room reads from the inside. A deep, covered terrace makes the outdoor area a usable living room, and clear glass railings keep the horizon visible from a seated position. Tall ceilings and full-height glass let the ocean light reach well into the plan.

The three numbered lines form the core of the building. According to the floor plan table on the official Ocean House website at the time of publication, Residence 02 is the entry plan: two bedrooms, three bathrooms and a den, with 2,093 to 2,134 square feet of interior space and 404 square feet of exterior space. Its terrace is the smallest in the collection, so it is the line where the view comes mostly through the glass rather than from a large outdoor room.

Residence 03 is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom plan with a powder room, listed at 2,633 interior square feet and 1,095 exterior square feet. The ratio is notable: the terrace area is a little over 40 percent of the interior area, which signals an outdoor space designed to be lived on and not merely stepped onto. Residence 01 is the largest of the three, with four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a powder room and a den or suite. The same official table lists 4,180 interior and 1,322 exterior square feet.

The official materials do not spell out which numbered line takes which exposure on each floor. Anyone comparing the lines should ask the sales team for the stacking plan, which shows where each residence sits relative to the ocean, the south light and the Bal Harbour skyline, and which terraces are fully clear glass.

Above the standard floors, the Sky residences take over. The official website lists Sky West as a four-bedroom home on levels 10 through 12, with 3,335 interior and 1,188 exterior square feet. Sky East is offered on levels 10 and 11 as a four-bedroom home with a den or suite, a family room and staff quarters. Its listed interior area is 5,470 square feet on level 10 and 5,333 on level 11, each with 1,673 square feet of exterior space.

These are the plans built for elevation. Being higher means a longer line of sight along the coast toward Bal Harbour to the north and the Miami Beach and Downtown skyline to the south, and the large terraces are where that view is used. Sky East's exterior space is the largest of any non-penthouse residence, which suggests an outdoor program closer to a house than an apartment.

The brand names suggest a division by orientation, but the developer's materials do not describe each plan's compass exposure in detail. Buyers who care about morning sun over the Atlantic, afternoon light or the skyline should request the floor plan with a north arrow and ask which rooms open onto which terrace.

At the top is the two-level penthouse. According to the developer-run residence page, it is a six-bedroom, six-bathroom home with two powder rooms. The first level has 8,748 interior and 2,861 exterior square feet, for a total of 11,609. The second level adds 728 interior square feet and 2,190 exterior square feet. The site notes that secondary bedrooms can be converted into amenity suites, as shown in the brochure and renderings.

Ceilings of up to 12 feet are specific to the penthouse, and that height is what gives its glass walls their scale. The exterior space across both levels is larger than the interior of many of the building's other residences. The second level is largely terrace, and it is where the penthouse takes the widest, most uninterrupted view of the water.

As with the other lines, the layout of the terraces, pool or outdoor kitchen options and the exact views should be checked against the current plans from the developer, because published descriptions of upper-level finishes can change as the project progresses.

The finishes are consistent across lines. The developer's website lists custom European kitchen cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances, a custom-designed Silestone island with a waterfall edge, natural stone flooring, an automated light control system and European-style fixtures. Residences are delivered finished with curated flooring. Primary bathrooms include double-sink vanities, a glass-enclosed rainfall shower and a freestanding tub.

Building amenities are modest in count and in step with the boutique concept. Project materials describe a rooftop pool deck, a fitness center and a spa and wellness center with treatment rooms. The landscape plan includes reflecting ponds and floating cabanas. Because there are only 25 residences, these spaces are shared by a small group.

The amenity and finish lists come from marketing materials. The building is still under construction, so buyers should confirm the final specification, including what is included in each line and what is optional, in the offering documents.

A practical way to choose among the plans is to start with outdoor space rather than bedroom count. Residence 02 is the compact entry, Residences 01 and 03 add larger terraces, the Sky lines add height and the largest balconies, and the penthouse exceeds them all. The terrace-to-interior ratio in the published floor plans is a more telling guide to how the water view will be used day to day than the total square footage alone.

Then ask for the details the marketing does not settle: the stacking plan, the floor and orientation of each available unit, which terraces use clear glass, and what is visible from the principal rooms versus only from the terrace. The unit count and the delivery date should be confirmed with the developer, since early marketing for a project under construction can be updated.
