THE VISION
When Harvey Firestone and his friends first saw the land that would become The Surf Club in the 1920s, they were seeking the most idyllic location for a private club dedicated to the sea, the sun and all things social—and with these nine remarkable acres on the Atlantic, they found it. Thus began a gracious and colorful chapter in history of Surfside, Florida as the club became a gathering place for the most exceptional figures of the past 80 years.
I had long hoped to build something unique in South Florida—a place to live that would incorporate the most refined architecture and design sensibilities of contemporary culture for people who value the privacy and elegance of an earlier age. When I learned of The Surf Club’s storied past and exuberant traditions, it was clear we had a unique opportunity to respect and preserve the legacy of the club, while contributing new elements that would make the experience of living here absolutely unparalleled. My first call was to the great American architect, Richard Meier, whose keen sensitivity to the interplay between the built environment and the ocean is legendary

The Surf Club Four Seasons Private Residences adds Meier’s intelligent and purposeful architecture to the bespoke luxury and service that define the Four Seasons lifestyle—while emphasizing the provenance of the Club itself. The Surf Club Four Seasons Private Residences will join the Bal Harbour Shops and the Indian Creek Country Club in defining Surfside, Florida.
Our promise is to execute the project impeccably. To that end, we are also working with innovative architect Kobi Karp and his firm KKAID to incorporate their expertise and experience; designers Lee Mindel and Joseph Dirand to create spaces that are convivial and luxurious; real estate doyenne Louise Sunshine to develop thoughtful features and amenities that would make every residence special; and Coastal Construction to oversee refurbishment of the existing structure and the construction of the new buildings. We believe that the future of The Surf Club Four Seasons Private Residences will be even more remarkable than its legendary past.

INTRODUCTION
Set on nine acres of pristine Atlantic oceanfront in Surfside immediately south of Bal Harbour, The Surf Club Four Seasons Private Residences combines the elegant, purposeful architecture of Pritzker Prize-winner Richard Meier, the luxurious, bespoke lifestyle offered by Four Seasons, and the unique provenance of the legendary Surf Club. The result—two 12-story residential buildings comprising 157 homes situated between the ocean and the bay, flanking an intimate Four Seasons hotel—offers the opportunity to live close to the energy of Miami Beach while enjoying the low-key elegance of a more gracious age.
Since its creation as a private social club in 1930, The Surf Club has played an important role in the cultural history of South Florida as a nexus for the most exceptional personalities of the era, from scions of industrial fortunes to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, and Elizabeth Taylor. The original club’s historical landmark structure, a Russell Pancoast-designed Mediterranean villa replete with ballrooms, bathing cabanas, and the legendary Peacock Alley loggia, will be preserved within Meier’s new architectural design.
With more than fifty unique configurations, the homes at The Surf Club Four Seasons Private Residences have been meticulously designed to anticipate the needs of
virtually any luxury lifestyle. Richard Meier’s innovation and commitment to excellence is reflected in his work on both the exterior and interior architecture, as well as his collaboration with noted designer Lee Mindel on the public spaces. Each residence offers capacious living space and thoughtful features, with select homes that include private swimming pools, private elevator entries, interior tranquil gardens, ample designated parking, and staff quarters. Every floor plan features a seamless integration of the indoor and outdoor living experience, making it possible to enjoy the abundant natural beauty of South Florida while preserving residents’ privacy.
The Surf Club Four Seasons Private Residences incorporates features and services to create a lifestyle that is luxe, convivial, and entirely bespoke. A sumptuous spa is integrated into the property, offering a broad spectrum of wellness, beauty, and fitness experiences. Two noted restaurants—one casual, one for fine dining— are on site. A lush garden with gracefully designed landscaping spans the area between the property and the ocean, and an on-site dedicated residential concierge will be available around-the-clock to ensure that any and every need is met swiftly and easily.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Surf Club Four Seasons Private Residences.
