None of the sources checked gives a certificate of occupancy date | Notes 3, 6, 7, 1 | FENDI Chateau Residences, Florida. Updated October 2026. Trade reports and brokerage pages give different street numbers and unit counts for the same building. This page shows each figure with its source rather than picking one. See the [branded residences index](https://abodeintlrealty.com/branded-residences/) for other projects. ## Where is the building? The building is on Collins Avenue in the town of Surfside, which sits between Miami Beach to the south and Bal Harbour to the north. - Surfside is a town in Miami-Dade County. Miami Beach’s North Beach neighborhood is to the south, Bal Harbour to the north, Biscayne Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east (Note 8). - The town describes its limits as running from 87th Terrace to 96th Street, between Miami Beach and the Village of Bal Harbour (Note 9). - A 2016 magazine profile places the building at 93rd Street and Collins Avenue on three beachfront acres (Note 5). A 2014 trade report described it as two blocks south of Bal Harbour Shops (Note 1). - The architect says the units are through units with views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay (Note 4). The street number differs by source: 9349 on current data sites, 9365 in 2014 trade reports and 9380 in a 2016 trade report (Notes 6, 1, 3). Use the parcel record, not a marketing address, when you order a survey or title work. ## Which Florida rules apply to a purchase here? The sources describe a completed building, so most purchases are resales, where a unit owner sells to a buyer. The developer-sale rules below apply only if a unit is bought directly from the developer. The sources checked do not say whether any units remain with it. - **Resale (unit owner to buyer).** Section 718.503(2) lists documents a non-developer unit owner must give a prospective buyer at the seller’s expense, including the declaration of condominium, articles of incorporation, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the milestone inspection summary if applicable, the structural integrity reserve study or a statement that none exists, the inspection report for a turnover inspection performed on or after July 1, 2023, and a frequently-asked-questions document. The contract must either acknowledge that the buyer received them more than 7 days before signing or give the buyer a right to cancel within 7 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays (Note 10). - **Purchase from the developer, if any units are still offered.** Section 718.503(1) makes the contract voidable by the buyer within 15 days after signing and receipt of all required items (Note 10). Section 718.202 applies when construction, furnishing and landscaping are not yet substantially complete at contracting. It then requires buyer payments up to 10 percent of the sale price to go into an escrow account, and payments above that to be held in a special escrow account that the developer may not use before closing, subject to the exceptions in the statute (Note 13). Section 718.504 requires the developer of a residential condominium with more than 20 units to prepare a prospectus or offering circular, file it with the state division and give a copy to each buyer (Note 14). - **Milestone inspection.** A condominium or cooperative building of three or more habitable stories must be inspected by December 31 of the year it reaches 30 years of age, measured from its certificate of occupancy, and every 10 years after. A local enforcement agency may require 25 years where conditions such as nearness to salt water warrant it. The association must give each owner the inspector’s summary within 45 days of receiving the report (Note 11). If this building’s certificate of occupancy was issued in 2016, ABODE’s arithmetic puts the 30-year deadline in 2046, or 2041 on a 25-year schedule. No source checked gives the certificate date, so confirm it and the local rule. - **Structural integrity reserve study.** A residential condominium association must have a study completed at least every 10 years after the condominium’s creation for each building three habitable stories or higher. It covers the roof, structure, fireproofing and fire protection, plumbing, electrical systems, waterproofing and exterior painting, windows and exterior doors, and any other item over \$25,000 (or the inflation-adjusted amount) that affects those (Note 12). These are plain-language summaries of the 2026 statute text on flsenate.gov. They are not legal advice, and the statutes change. Ask your attorney to confirm which rules apply to your contract. ## What should you check before buying a unit here? | Check | Why it matters here | Source | |-----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------| | Street address and parcel | Sources give 9349, 9365 and 9380 Collins Avenue. Confirm the address and folio with the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser and make sure the title and survey match the unit | Notes 6, 1, 3 | | Unit count and unit schedule | Sources give 58 or 60 units. Ask for the declaration of condominium, a required resale document, to see how the association counts units | Notes 3, 4, 10 | | Certificate of occupancy date | Sources point to a 2016 opening but none gives the certificate date. The date sets the milestone inspection schedule. Town Hall is at 9293 Harding Avenue, Surfside, FL 33154, (305) 861-4863; ask the town which department holds the record | Notes 3, 11, 9 | | Milestone inspection status | On a 30-year schedule from a 2016 certificate, the first inspection would fall in 2046. Ask whether any inspection has been done, and read the inspector’s summary if one exists | Notes 11, 10 | | Structural integrity reserve study | Ask whether the association has completed one, when, and what the current budget funds. A seller must provide the latest study or state that none was completed | Notes 12, 10 | | What Fendi Casa’s role means for owners | Trade reports credit Fendi Casa with the interiors. Ask the seller whether any fixtures or finishes are covered by a brand agreement or association rule, and read the rules for alterations | Notes 3, 5 | | Rules and use restrictions | The bylaws and rules are part of the resale package.

It is a 12-story oceanfront condominium on Collins Avenue in Surfside, Miami-Dade County (Notes 4, 3). Château Group is the developer, and trade reports describe a partnership with Fendi (Notes 1, 3). Arquitectonica is the architect (Note 4). What is the building’s address?

Trade reports from 2014 and 2016 and a 2016 magazine profile say 58 (Notes 1, 3, 5); the architect’s page and a brokerage page say 60 (Notes 4, 7). The declaration of condominium is the document to check. Is the building finished? Secondary sources say yes.

None of the sources checked as of October 6, 2026 gives a certificate of occupancy date, so ask the town for the record. Do developer rules or resale rules apply when buying here? For a unit bought from an owner, Florida’s resale disclosure rules in section 718.503(2) apply (Note 10). Developer rules, including the 15-day cancellation right, deposit escrow and the prospectus, apply only to a unit bought from the developer (Notes 10, 13, 14). The sources checked do not say whether any units are still offered by it. Is ABODE International Realty affiliated with Fendi or the developer?
