Why The Waves matters

The Waves is an oceanfront condominium at 9455 Collins Avenue in Surfside, built in 1991. It has 106 residences on 12 floors; plans are mostly two-bedroom homes with terraces, about 1,170 to 1,635 square feet.

Florida's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules apply to condominium buildings of three or more stories; ask for the inspection report, the reserve study and any assessment history.

Surfside

Surfside is a small oceanfront town on the barrier island between Miami Beach to the south and Bal Harbour to the north, with Collins Avenue as its main road. Its town center runs along Harding Avenue. Bal Harbour Shops, the open-air retail center, is a short distance north.

The Waves stands at the northern part of Surfside, near the Bal Harbour line. Bal Harbour's retail and the Miami Beach hotel corridor are each a short drive away. The 2021 collapse of Champlain Towers South occurred in Surfside and led to Florida's current condominium inspection and reserve rules.

Architecture and unit composition

The Waves is a 12-story building. Plans on floors 3 to 12 are two-bedroom layouts with two or three baths, from about 1,170 to 1,635 square feet interior, with exterior terraces of about 160 to 460 square feet. Check exposure by floor and plan.

The common spaces are a heated pool and spa, an exercise room and a community room. The building has deeded beach access and a garage with valet.

Building operations

Valet and garage parking are in place.

Ask for: any repair scope, reserve funding, the last two years of financial statements, the current budget, any pending or planned special assessments, and the windstorm and flood insurance program.

Policy framework

Policies, fees and applications, including pets, leasing, minimum lease terms, guest rules and any resale approval, are set by the association and should be confirmed at offer stage.

Sales context

One recorded sale, March 2026, at $1,115,000. It is one sale, not a building price. Floor, exposure and renovation all affect price.

Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

What to know if you're buying at The Waves

Read the inspection and reserve documents before the price. Ask about any repair scope or assessment.

Confirm the line. Size and exposure differ by line.

Verify the beach access. Ask for the recorded terms of the deeded access and who maintains it.

What to know if you're selling at The Waves

Lead with size and exposure. State the interior size, terrace size and exposure.

Have the documents ready. Budget, financials, SIRS and inspection status shorten diligence.

Recorded sales history

Recorded transfers for this building in Miami-Dade County public records, back to Dec 1991. Prices reflect the recorded consideration; transfers the Property Appraiser does not qualify as arms-length are shown unmarked. Nominal-consideration paper transfers (deeds into trusts and LLCs, estate and family transfers, corrective deeds) are part of the record but not sales, and are omitted from this table. Recording lags closing, so the newest sales can take several weeks to appear.

Figures are reported as recorded and may be updated as the county updates its records. This page is informational and is not an offer or solicitation. Apartment estimates are automated, from public records, and are not appraisals.
