The Delmore Launches In Surfside, With Swimming Pool Suspended In Air

Dubai-based developer DAMAC has launched The Delmore in Surfside.

The ultra-luxury residential building is being built on the former Champlain Tower site.

Zaha Hadid Architects is designing the 12-story building with a flow-through canyon and a GFRC exterior façade designed to look and feel like the sand on the beach behind the building (employees took handfuls of sand from behind the building site).

Passersby on Collins Avenue will be able to see a 75-foot-long see-through swimming pool made of acrylic, suspended 125 feet in the air. It will be the only one of its kind in Miami.

There will be just 37 residential units – a maximum of four per floor, with prices starting at $15 million.

Residents will enjoy 55,000 square feet of amenities, and butler service.

Interior design will be by Singapore-based Hirsch Bedner Associates, with landscape design by Miami’s  CLAD Landscape Architecture & Design.

Site work is already underway, with completion anticipated for 2029

Very sad what happened here. But it makes sense to build something new. Let us not allow these construction / maintenance failures to continue!

Surprised it didn’t go taller.

The one rule that can’t be broke is Surfside’s strict height rule. 87 Park is actually in Miami Beach even though it’s north of the park.

Honestly, the pool curiosity that will be drawn by the pool suspended between the two roofs will probably do as much to remind people about the structural tragedy than any plaque or memorial.

Yes probably as a gravity-related engineering stunt it will.

One of the best designers of all time! Hope to see more like this in Brickell and greater downtown.

I am afraid of heights and being up that high in a pool with a glass bottom would make me pee in the pool.

Rumor is that there will be signage up there:

“Welcome to our OOL. Notice that there is no P in it….please keep it that way.”

Gorgeous building but I think a park/memorial would have been more appropriate.

A memorial would be a nice addition to the build, but a large part is literally right next door.

What a lovely way to honor the dead.

I think due to a civil lawsuit. Some of the revenue will go to the families.

Yep, $1b settlement

I totally thought the same at first, and it still is quite sad that it’s just luxury condos on top of a place where people died IN a condo, but then I thought about the World Trade Center and idk. I just don’t know.

You don’t, because while the Twin Tower footprints were preserved, the WTC was rebuilt around them, overlapping portions of the destroyed complex.

When I die, I hope they build an $750m Zaha Hadid sculpture on top of me.
