The recently unveiled penthouse at Ocean House, asking $70 million, has instantly joined the short list of the most expensive condominium offerings in the entire Miami area.
The two-level, full-floor penthouse crowns Ocean House, a 25-residence boutique oceanfront building currently under construction at 9317 Collins Avenue, designed by Carla Guilhem Design. Spanning approximately 9,476 square feet of interior living space and 5,051 square feet of outdoor terraces, the duplex totals roughly 14,527 square feet — with the building's entire top floor plus a private oceanfront rooftop.
The rooftop alone is worth noting. Designed as a destination in itself, it features an expansive terrace lounge, pool, spa, and a summer kitchen for dining and hosting above the ocean. Dedicated wellness and entertainment spaces inside include a cinema, spa, game room with billiards and bar, and a private fitness area.
Tucked between Bal Harbour and Miami Beach, Surfside has quietly become one of South Florida's most exclusive oceanfront neighborhoods, prized for its low-key feel, architectural pedigree, and limited room for new development. Ocean House leans directly into that sensibility — rising just 12 stories and limited to 25 residences, the building emphasizes intimacy and design over scale.
This listing doesn't exist in a vacuum. It arrives on the heels of Surfside's $86 million condo sale that set a Miami-Dade record — a powerful signal that this small stretch of coastline is commanding some of the most significant prices in the country.
With new oceanfront development constrained and zoning carefully managed, full-floor penthouses with private rooftops are becoming increasingly rare. For buyers seeking that rare combination of scale, privacy, and architectural integrity — without the spectacle of a high-rise tower — offerings like this one represent something that simply cannot be replicated.
At The Joelle Team, we've been deeply rooted in the Surfside, Bal Harbour, and Miami Beach markets for years. We understand not just the listings, but the nuanced dynamics that drive values at this level. If you're curious about what's available — or what your property is worth in today's market — we'd love to connect.
