Change is in the air for the Kushners! Just two years after their time as Senior White House Advisors to the Trump Administration came to an end, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are preparing to end their stint as beachfront condo dwellers in the sleepy-yet-luxurious enclave of Surfside, Florida. The 7,000 square foot oceanfront duplex at Arte Surfside is being offered for sale at $18.8 million and is the last developer-represented home in the boutique development.

The expansive pad is Residence 201 in the ultra-luxury development located at 8955 Collins Avenue and is truly one-of-a-kind with just under 7,000 square feet of air conditioned space and 1,500 square feet of private outdoor space with Brazilian Ipe decks and Roman travertine ceilings. Each of the rooms has sweeping views of the coastline, beach, and intracoastal canal with floor-to-ceiling Schuco insulated glass wall systems. They also feature European white oak flooring, European Lualdi interior doors, open-concept living, dining and entertainment areas with linear cove lighting and Roman travertine accent walls. There are six total bedrooms including one service suite, seven and a half baths, two living rooms and two custom-designed Poliform kitchens.

The upper-level bedrooms are separated from the primary suite by a gourmet kitchen and formal living area. Each guest room has an ensuite bath and direct access to the wraparound terrace. The lower-level is reserved for social gatherings with an entertainment area, kitchenette, and a private stairway that provides convenient access to the pool area and beach.

The duplex residence is accessible via private elevator with fingerprint technology and Arte is known as one of the most secure luxury developments in the area. With only 16 units, the owners in the building are well looked after. Amenities include pool and beach services, a tranquil meditation pond, rooftop tennis courts (adjacent amenity building), a high tech fitness center with a private yoga studio, 75-foot indoor heated lap pool, a wellness spa with sauna, steam rooms and dual locker rooms. The residents’ lounge offers a catering kitchen, kids’ playroom, a pet runway, valet parking, on-site butler, lifestyle concierge and a general manager.

Beautifully designed by a collaboration of award-winning architects Antonio Citterio, Patricia Viel and Kobi Karp and developed by Alex Sapir, Arte Surfside offers the most unique exterior architecture in South Florida complimented by sophisticated interiors with state-of-the-art finishes.

If duplex residence 201 sells for the full asking price, it still will not be the only newsworthy sale in the small development. The lower penthouse sold this year for $22.5 million in crypto, making it the most luxurious real estate transaction completed with crypto. Additionally, the 3-level upper penthouse was purchased by a mystery New York financier for $33 million in 2020, just as Arte Surfside was opening.

Jared and Ivanka are relocating to their new home in Miami Beach’s “Billionaire Bunker,” Indian Creek Island, where they will be greeted by Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, who own two nearby homes in order to facilitate peaceful co-parenting. Among other people with rather un-humble abodes on the island include former Sears CEO Eddie Lampert; investor Carl Icahn; Jamie Galinski Baca, a Colombian banking magnate worth a reported $3.6 billion; Robert Diener, the co-founder of Hotels.com; Rakesh Gangwal, the former CEO of U.S. Airways and Mary Stephens Shula, the widow of former Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula. The entire island is private and gated with its own police force and an armed marine patrol that circles the island 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
