The newest head-turner to hit Miami’s luxury market is making waves without raising its voice.
Priced at $27 million, Residence 402 at ARTE Surfside offers 5,185 square feet of oceanfront living designed by Italian architect Antonio Citterio, in collaboration with Patricia Viel. It’s the kind of home that lets the view and craftsmanship do the talking.
And the buildings it’s set in will fill in the blanks. That’s because ARTE Surfside isn’t just another high-rise on Collins Avenue — it’s become a discreet address for the ultra-wealthy who prize privacy as much as they do beachfront property.
The building’s residents have included private equity executives, political figures, and social media personalities, with some leases commanding jaw-dropping sums. (One 6,300-square-foot residence was reportedly rented for about $85,000 per month.)
The draw? A mix of impeccable design, world-class amenities, and the kind of exclusivity that rarely makes the gossip pages — though during the pandemic, influencer Arielle Charnas of Something Navy was rumored to have stayed here. In short, ARTE Surfside has quietly built a reputation as one of the most coveted, camera-shy buildings in South Florida.
Citterio and Viel’s approach to ARTE balances modern minimalism with natural textures, using materials that age beautifully in a coastal climate. Every line, joint, and surface feels intentional — right down to the building’s signature geometric façade.
Represented by Miltiadis Kastanis and Pablo Alfaro of Compass, Residence 402 combines sweeping Atlantic views with refined detailing. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and one half-bath, the unit spans 5,185 square feet of luxuriously appointed living space.
Standout features include AXOR Citterio bathroom fixtures, Gaggenau gas appliances, travertine surfaces, European White Oak flooring, and a massive terrace perfect for sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails.
The 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath layout stretches from ocean to city in a seamless flow-through design, delivering bright, light-flooded interiors with a modern coastal touch. A sleek kitchen opens up to a dedicated dining area, with a living room past it and lounging areas lining the full wall of windows.
Making the most of its enviable location, the ARTE Surfside condo boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that make the ocean part of the decor. Separate living areas for dining, lounging, have been strategically placed in order to maximize the views.
The home’s expansive terrace spans the width of the residence, creating an outdoor living space that rivals the interior square footage of many Miami condos. It’s designed for all-day enjoyment, from morning yoga to evening gatherings with the sound of the surf in the background.
Also fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows to capitalize on the views and brighten the spaces with natural light, the Surfside condo’s spacious 4 bedrooms deliver both space to relax and stylish finishes to boot.
Our favorite space (despite it being one of the few without generous ocean views) is the primary bathroom, which features a massive glass-enclosed dual shower, a stone bath, luxe fixtures, and an overall luxury spa vibe.
Life at ARTE comes with access to both indoor and outdoor mosaic-tiled pools, a fully equipped fitness center, a spa and wellness suite, and personalized beach service. There’s even a rooftop tennis court — a rarity in Miami condo living — plus temperature-controlled parking for added peace of mind.
While ARTE Surfside keeps its resident roster low-profile, its real estate history tells a different story. Record sales, high monthly rentals, political connections, and celebrity whispers have all contributed to the building’s allure.
The result? A small but mighty community where discretion is part of the package.
