Dubai, United Arab Emirates-based Damac Properties, led by billionaire Hussain Sajwani, tapped Zaha Hadid Architects, founded by the late Zaha Hadid, to craft the project. It’s working with Hollywood-based O’Donnell Dannwolf and Partners Architect, just as ZHA did with One Thousand Museum in downtown Miami.

“We are honored to have been chosen for this very special project. While no work of architecture can ever remove the pain of the past, nor should it, a truly ambitious work of architecture can respect such a significant site,” stated Chris Lepine, director of Zaha Hadid Architects. “It’s a great responsibility to be providing this vision for Surfside.”

The developer anticipates launching sales around the time construction starts in late 2023 or early 2024, pending city approval. The plans were recently submitted to the city, with two variations of the design.

“We know we cannot replace what was so painfully lost, but it is our desire that the building honors and respects its location at the heart of Surfside’s community and offers a sense of closure to the tragic event of the past while also providing a sense of a new beginning,” stated Niall Mc Loughlin, senior VP of communications for Damac International.
