Streetscape & Gateway Transformation

• 88th Street streetscape revitalization: pedestrian-friendly pavers, shade landscaping, and a new fluted stone monument with a water element at 88th & Collins.

• Purpose: establish a welcoming gateway to Surfside, fostering walkability between Harding Avenue and the shoreline—and tying into the future Champlain Memorial. 

Veterans Park Enhancements & Community Engagement

• Introduction of resident tennis lessons and programming to involve locals directly.

• Blend of physical improvements and social uplift aligns with evolving CRE trends around placemaking and value creation. 

Surf Row Residences: Boutique Condos with Amenities

• 24 condominiums, 1–3 bedrooms, spanning 894 to 2,004 ft², with sophisticated finishes.

• Approximately 6,400 ft² of resort-style amenities included.

• Positioned steps from the beach and town center, sales handled exclusively by ONE Sotheby’s. 

Developer Vision & CRE Context

Alejandro Bonet, LD&D managing partner, said: “Surfside isn’t just where we’re building — it’s a community we’re actively contributing to… great design should extend beyond the property line” .

Increasingly, developers are tapping into offsite investments as tools to:

• Enhance marketability and pricing through amenity-rich surrounding environments

• Bolster community relationships and approvals

• Position their projects within a broader neighborhood improvement framework

This strategy aligns with investor-premium trends that favor projects involved in placemaking and sustainable design.

By pledging $1 million for public realm improvements, the Surf Row team is investing in both property appeal and neighborhood strength—a move that benefits residents, bolsters CRE image, and enhances long-term asset value. This approach signals a strategic shift from isolated developments toward community-integrated real estate practices.
