The mystery seller of a luxury condo at the Four Seasons Residences at the Surf Club put the saying “you have to have money to make money” to the test with their recent flip of the unit.
An LLC named after the address sold unit S-1003 at 9001 Collins Avenue for $30.3 million, or $7,143 per square foot, marking one of the highest recorded price-per-foot deals in South Florida.
The seller paid $18.4 million for the unit in July 2025, property records show. That means the seller flipped it for a 65 percent increase, or $11.9 million more, in a year. It has four bedrooms, five bathrooms and one half-bath.
Bryan Halda of Compass was the listing agent, and Douglas Elliman’s Lourdes Alatriste represented the buyer. Alatriste declined to comment. Halda also manages the LLC that sold the unit.
Halda said the property was never occupied, renovated or upgraded, calling the latest sale price “incredible.” The buyer, he said, “purchased the residence sight unseen and entirely in cash.”
The buyer paid cash for the unit, closing on the deal 10 days after signing the contract, Halda said.
The deal has not yet been recorded, so the buyer’s identity is unknown, but they are from California, according to a source.
The Four Seasons at the Surf Club is one of the most successful condo projects in Miami-Dade’s history, and it has set and broken a number of its own records since its completion in 2017. Fort Partners, led by Nadim Ashi, developed the oceanfront luxury condo and hotel complex, as well as adjacent luxury condo buildings in subsequent years.
The developments have attracted big names, including former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who paid $44 million, or $8,000 per square foot, for a 5,500-square-foot penthouse in the Surf Club’s north tower in March.
Last year, freshly minted billionaire Daniel Nadler, the founder of an AI platform for medical research, bought a Surf Club penthouse for $38.2 million.
More recently, a company managed by private aviation executive William Papariella and accountant Michael Deo paid $19 million for a unit in the south tower of the Surf Club.
