A Dubai-based developer has just filed plans for a luxury residential project in Surfside – and renderings show what appears to be a glass-bottomed pool at the top.
According to a press release from developer Damac, there will be two buildings connected by a 100-foot rooftop pool (another 75-foot exercise pool is planned indoors).
The proposal is for the Champlain Towers South, where a building collapsed in 2021. Damac purchased the property in 2022 for $120 million.
Zaha Hadid Architects is designing the new development, and prepared two alternatives for Surfside planners based on two possible interpretations of town planning ordinances. The first alternative steps in on the South elevation, while the second maintains consistent elevations on all sides.
The proposed architecture features “cloud-like” design elements, with a “precision engineered” façade.
A total of 57 condos are planned, ranging from 4,000 to 15,000 square feet.
Damac has previously developed project in collaboration with brands that include Cavalli and Versace.
