Condos to Rise on Site of Deadly Building Collapse

DAMAC International has started selling what could be the priciest condos in South Florida. The starting price for one is $15 million. The project will be located at 8777 Collins Ave., Surfside, the site of the deadly Champlain Towers South condo collapse in 2021. DAMAC purchased the 1.88-acre site along the ocean for $120 million in 2022, with much of the proceeds going to the victims of the collapse.

DAMAC is calling the project The Delmore. It will feature 37 fully-furnished condos in 12 stories. They will average more than 7,000 square feet, including penthouses starting at 10,000 square feet. Each condo will have two kitchens, an entertainment kitchen and a chef’s kitchen in the back.

The condo will feature more than 55,000 square feet of amenities, including a rooftop pool partially suspended in the air between the two towers, an indoor pool, a residents-only restaurant with a high-end chef, a fitness center, and a wellness spa with a steam room, sauna and hot/cold plunge pools.

DAMAC said site work has started on the Delmore and construction should be completed in 2029.
