The Delmore, a new ultra-luxury condo building by developer DAMAC, is set to rise at the site of the devastating 2021 Surfside condo collapse that killed 98 individuals. Units start at an eye-watering $15 million, featuring high-end amenities. However, the project's launch has ignited backlash from the community, especially from victims' families who feel the tragedy has been overlooked. Critics, including Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett, urge for an acknowledgment of the site’s dark past and the ongoing investigation into the collapse before further developments.
The announcement of The Delmore, an ultra-luxury condo building starting at $15 million, has sparked criticism for not addressing the tragic 2021 building collapse.
Martin Langesfeld expressed concern that construction on The Delmore should wait until the federal investigation into the 2021 collapse is completed.
Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett hoped the developer would find a sensitive way to honor the history of the site in its marketing.
DAMAC's project features amenities like a meditation garden and 'residential butlers', pushing forward with luxury goals despite the somber site history.
