Fendi Chateau Residences Surfside: Oceanfront Branded Condo Buyer's Guide (2026)

Fendi Chateau Residences at 9349 Collins Avenue in Surfside is the first residential project anywhere in the world to carry the Fendi name. The 100-year-old Roman fashion house partnered with Chateau Group to deliver a 12-story oceanfront condominium of just 58 flow-through homes on 300 linear feet of private Atlantic beachfront, with architecture by Miami's Arquitectonica and interiors by Fendi Casa in collaboration with Fanny Haim and Associates.

The building was delivered in 2016 with construction by Coastal Construction and landscape by ArquitectonicaGEO. Residences run from roughly 3,325 to 7,110 square feet on the standard flow-through plans, with three penthouses on top ranging above 7,000 square feet and private 4,000-square-foot rooftop pool decks with summer kitchens. Every home carries private elevator entry into a semi-private foyer, staff quarters, and terraces up to 12 feet deep.

Fendi Chateau is one of the smallest branded ultra-luxury condos on the entire Miami-Dade oceanfront -- and the only entry from the house of Fendi.

The Quick Take

Where is Fendi Chateau?

Fendi Chateau sits on the Surfside oceanfront, on the Atlantic side of Collins Avenue between 93rd and 94th Streets. That places it:

• Three blocks south of Bal Harbour Shops and the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort
• A short walk south of Eighty Seven Park (Renzo Piano) and the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club
• Directly on the Surfside oceanfront strand with 300 feet of private beach

Surfside itself is a small municipality of roughly one square mile between Bal Harbour to the north and North Beach (Miami Beach) to the south, running from about 87th Terrace to 96th Street between the Atlantic and Indian Creek. Harding Avenue carries the town's neighborhood retail and restaurant strip, and the Surfside Community Center and beachfront boardwalk anchor the civic side of town.

Practical reach:

• Bal Harbour Shops -- three blocks north (Neiman Marcus, Saks, Chanel, Goyard, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Le Zoo, Carpaccio, Makoto)
• Aventura Mall -- 15 minutes west
• South Beach and Lincoln Road -- 15-20 minutes south on Collins
• Downtown Miami and Brickell -- 20-25 minutes over the causeway
• Miami International Airport -- roughly 25 minutes

Who's Behind Fendi Chateau?

Chateau Group is the developer. The Miami-based firm has more than 35 years of experience in residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects across the United States and South America, with a portfolio focused on ultra-luxury Miami-Dade oceanfront. Fendi Chateau was the group's most visible collaboration with a major European fashion brand and its most ambitious branded-residence delivery on the Surfside oceanfront.

Fendi is the brand partner. The Roman fashion house was founded in 1925 by Edoardo Fendi and Adele Casagrande, who opened a small fur and leather-goods workshop on Via del Plebiscito. The five Fendi sisters -- Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla, and Alda -- joined the company in 1946 and ran it as a family enterprise for the next half century. In 1965, Karl Lagerfeld was hired as creative director of the fur and ready-to-wear collections, a role he held until his death in 2019. LVMH acquired majority control of Fendi in 2001 as part of its Fashion & Leather Goods division. Fendi headquarters are in Rome at the Palazzo della Civilta Italiana, and 2025 marked the house's 100th anniversary.

Fendi Casa -- the home furnishings division -- was launched in 1987 by Anna Fendi, the first fashion house to open an interior-design line. Fendi Casa's initial partnership was with Italian manufacturer Luxury Living Group. In 2021, Fendi transitioned Fendi Casa to a new joint venture with Design Holding (jointly controlled by Investindustrial and The Carlyle Group) under the FF Design entity that also runs manufacturing and distribution.

Fanny Haim and Associates -- the Miami interior design firm that collaborated with Fendi Casa on the residence interior detailing at Fendi Chateau.

Construction was by Coastal Construction, the Miami-based general contractor with a long South Florida oceanfront track record.

Architecture and Design

Arquitectonica is the architect. Founded in 1977 in Coconut Grove by Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Laurinda Hope Spear, Arquitectonica is the Miami-headquartered firm most identified with the postmodern high-rise vocabulary that shaped the city. The firm's built work includes the Atlantis Condominium, Kaseya Center (formerly American Airlines Arena), Brickell City Centre, and 500-plus other projects across 59 countries.

Fendi Chateau reads as a compact, low-rise oceanfront volume rather than a slender tower. The 12-story structure emphasizes horizontality, with the flow-through floor plate exposing both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal on every residence. Terraces run up to 12 feet deep and integrate to the interior through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass -- effectively adding an outdoor room to every residence.

Landscape is by ArquitectonicaGEO, the landscape architecture arm founded by Laurinda Spear. The ground plane wraps two oceanfront swimming pools into a tropical pool garden with the beach as the eastern edge.

Interiors are by Fendi Casa in collaboration with Fanny Haim and Associates. The residence palette runs on Fendi's signature material vocabulary: streaked woods, smoky glass, bronzed reflective surfaces, and elegant marble baths. Kitchens carry Fendi Casa-branded chef's cabinetry paired with a Gaggenau appliance package and a climate-controlled wine cabinet standard in every plan.

Residences at Fendi Chateau

The published configuration:

• 58 flow-through residences total across 12 stories
• Three penthouses on top with private rooftop pool decks
• Standard residences range from ~3,325 to 7,110 sf interior
• Penthouses run above 7,000 sf interior with roughly 4,000 sf private rooftop pool decks and summer kitchens
• Flow-through floor plate -- every residence carries both Atlantic and Intracoastal exposure
• Private elevator entry into a semi-private foyer on every residence
• Staff quarters in every plan
• 10-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass
• Terraces up to 12 feet deep
• Fendi Casa cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances
• Climate-controlled wine cabinet
• Marble bathrooms with Fendi material palette

Resale market in 2026 is thin but priced. As of Q2 2026, active resale inventory has run in the roughly $11M to $30M band depending on floor, exposure, and unit type, with the small penthouse group priced separately above that. Trailing-twelve-month transactions have shown list-to-sell ratios near 93 percent and average per-square-foot pricing in the roughly $2,700 per sf range. Days-on-market tends to run long -- Fendi Chateau is a buyer-specific building, not a volume-turnover product.

The Fendi Brand Heritage

Fendi is a Roman fashion house rather than a licensed name, and the residential project reflects that. A short chronology:

• 1925 -- Edoardo Fendi and Adele Casagrande open a fur and leather workshop on Via del Plebiscito in Rome
• 1946 -- Fendi sisters (Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla, Alda) join the company; second generation takes over
• 1965 -- Karl Lagerfeld appointed creative director of the fur and ready-to-wear collections; the double-F "Zucca" logo is introduced
• 1985 -- The Baguette handbag, later a defining Fendi shape, debuts
• 1987 -- Fendi Casa launched by Anna Fendi as the first fashion-house interior design line; initial partner Luxury Living Group
• 1999-2001 -- Prada and LVMH jointly buy 51 percent of Fendi for $545 million; LVMH consolidates majority ownership by 2001
• 2005 -- Fendi headquarters move to the Palazzo della Civilta Italiana in Rome's EUR district
• 2016 -- Fendi Chateau Residences open in Surfside as the house's first residential project globally
• 2019 -- Karl Lagerfeld dies; Kim Jones appointed artistic director of couture and womenswear (until 2024); Silvia Venturini Fendi continues as artistic director of accessories, menswear, and Fendi Casa creative direction
• 2021 -- Fendi Casa transitions to new joint venture with Design Holding (Investindustrial and The Carlyle Group); FF Design established
• 2025 -- Fendi's 100th anniversary

Silvia Venturini Fendi -- Anna Fendi's daughter -- has been publicly involved in the residential design direction and continues to lead Fendi Casa creative work. The Chateau collaboration was the first application of Fendi Casa to a permanent residential building.

How Fendi Chateau Compares to Other Trophy Miami Branded Residences

Fendi Chateau sits in the shortlist of ultra-boutique fashion-branded residences on the Miami-Dade oceanfront. The comparable set:

A few distinctions:

• Genuinely small unit count. 58 residences puts Fendi Chateau at the bottom of the delivered branded-residence stack alongside Rivage Bal Harbour (pre-construction, 60 units) and above Six Fisher Island (pre-construction, 50 units) at the very top of the trophy pipeline.
• First-ever Fendi residential project globally. No other Fendi-branded residential building exists. Fendi Casa has been applied to individual interiors around the world, but Fendi Chateau is the only ground-up Fendi residence on the international map.
• Full-floor flow-through as standard. The floor plate delivers Atlantic and Intracoastal exposures on every home rather than reserving that geometry for penthouses only.
• 300 feet of private beach. That's more per-unit oceanfront frontage than nearly any other Miami-Dade branded residence.
• Surfside rather than Sunny Isles or Miami Beach. Different neighborhood -- lower-rise, Bal Harbour-adjacent, and materially quieter than the Sunny Isles high-rise strand.

The Surfside Neighborhood

Surfside is a small oceanfront municipality bordered on the north by Bal Harbour, on the south by Miami Beach's North Beach neighborhood, on the west by Biscayne Bay, and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. The town covers roughly one square mile from about 87th Terrace to 96th Street.

Anchors and daily life:

Retail and dining nearby

• Le Zoo, Carpaccio, Makoto, Hillstone -- restaurant anchors at Bal Harbour Shops
• Il Mulino at Acqualina to the north

• Surfside beachfront boardwalk and oceanfront strand
• Surfside Community Center and pool -- the town's civic anchor
