City Developments and Meetings
The City of Sunny Isles Beach continues to manage its ongoing development and community services. Residents are reminded that the next Regular City Commission Meeting is scheduled for the evening of Thursday, June 18, 2026, at the David P. Samson Commission Chambers in the Government Center. A City Commission Workshop will be held earlier the same day to discuss various city matters. These meetings are open to the public and provide a forum for residents to stay informed about local governance, including discussions on municipal codes, public works, and city benefits. Past meeting agendas and videos are available on the city’s official website for public viewing.
Real Estate and Construction Updates
The most significant news in Sunny Isles Beach is the visible progress of the Bentley Residences, which has now reached its seventh level. This iconic 62 story tower is rising steadily at a pace of about one new floor every week. Upon its scheduled completion in 2028, it will be one of the tallest oceanfront buildings in the United States, featuring 216 luxury residences. The development is notable for its unique amenities, including the patented ‘Dezervator’ car elevator that allows residents to park their vehicles in private sky garages within their own units. This project represents a major step in the continued evolution of the city’s luxury skyline.
In other major development news, the St. Regis Residences project is also making substantial headway. The south tower is reported to be almost completely sold out, with an expected completion date in 2028. Construction on the second, or north tower, is slated to begin later in 2026. The real estate market itself is showing signs of a shift. A first quarter 2026 report suggests that with rising inventory, the area is transitioning into a buyer’s market, giving potential purchasers more negotiating power. However, data from May 2026 shows a complex picture, with some reports indicating a significant drop in the median sale price compared to the previous year, while others show the median list price has remained more stable.
Beach and Ocean Conditions
For those looking to enjoy the beautiful coastline, conditions are generally favorable. The City of Sunny Isles Beach Ocean Rescue provides daily updates for the safety of all beachgoers. Today, the ocean is calm, with wave heights not expected to exceed one meter, making it very suitable for swimming. Water temperature is a warm 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius). Winds are coming from the east southeast at 10 to 15 miles per hour. A high UV index of 10 is a strong reminder for everyone to use ample sun protection. Authorities have posted advisories for the presence of jellyfish and the potential for rip currents, so swimmers should remain aware of their surroundings and heed any lifeguard warnings.
Other Local News
In recent local news, emergency services have been active in the area. Early this week, a fire broke out behind an apartment building, resulting in the destruction of several boats. Firefighters responded to the scene to extinguish the blaze. In law enforcement news, a man was sentenced to 90 days in jail after being caught on camera abusing his young daughter in a local condominium. Additionally, an altercation at a restaurant led to a stabbing, with one person injured and another facing charges of attempted murder.
