Damac International, a premier developer of high-end residential properties, has made its entry into the US with the launch of The Delmore, a 12-storey, ultra-luxury boutique oceanfront condominium located at 8777 Collins Avenue in the Town of Surfside, Miami. Comprising 37 mansions, The Delmore is designed by architectural firm Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA). With construction already underway, it is slated for completion in 2029.
Prices for four- to five-bedroom mansions in The Delmore – all fully finished, each with private elevator entry foyers – will start at US$15 million (Dh55 million). The residences – comparable to single-family retreats with sizes averaging 7,000 square feet and penthouses starting at 10,000 square feet – will have sweeping water panoramas. Each of the property’s 12 floors will have no more than four residences. Interior designer Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA) will be designing all baths and wardrobes in the mansions, as well as custom Molteni&C kitchens. Residents can access white-glove services and more than 55,000 square feet of holistic amenities.
Jeffery Rossely, Senior Vice President of Development for Damac International, said, “We have been focused on delivering an ultra-luxury product to the South Florida market that is unlike anything the area has seen previously.. Between Zaha Hadid Architects’ stunning designs and our global expertise, we are confident that The Delmore will be an extraordinary project, especially as we are designing homes for permanent residents, reflecting the transition we see occurring throughout the region.”
The Delmore is poised to be one of the developments located within the coveted “Billionaire’s Triangle”, one of Miami’s most revered destinations. The development features 200 linear feet of sandy beachfront, as well as unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and Miami skyline. The two-acre property will be ZHA’s second residential project in the Miami area and one of the firm’s select few in the US.
The Delmore will be distinguished by a sculptural façade with sinuous curves and nested crescents that coalesce at the corners. A flow-through canyon with sky views will delineate the building’s north and south wings, leading seamlessly from the porte-cochère to the glass-roofed double-height lobby, and out to the ocean-side meditation garden. Across the canyon, suspended 125 feet in the air, a see-through 75-foot-long acrylic swimming pool will further define the property as an architectural showplace.
Chris Lepine, Director of Zaha Hadid Architects, said, “Our team was tasked with conceptualising an oceanfront development that would redefine the standard for bespoke residential in a region that has earned global acclaim for its luxury offerings. We believe that The Delmore exceeds that standard.”
Furthering The Delmore’s connection to the surrounding environment, landscaping will be spearheaded by Miami-headquartered CLAD Landscape Architecture & Design
Damac International’s portfolio boasts noteworthy projects including Damac Towers Nine Elms in London, with interiors by Versace, and the under-construction, 84-acre Mandarin Oriental Bolidhuffaru Reef Resort in the Maldives, among others.
