Real Estate and Construction Updates
The Sunny Isles Beach skyline is set for a significant addition with the approved construction of what will be the city’s tallest building. The Miami Beach Club, a 62 story and 820 foot tower, received its final approval from the City Commission. This project, a collaboration between Related Group, Dezer Development, and BH Group, will feature 145 luxury residences. The development has generated discussion among residents regarding its scale and potential construction impacts. In other major development news, the St. Regis Residences, a two tower project, is currently under construction, with the first tower anticipated for completion in 2026. This project occupies a prime 4.7 acre beachfront lot with over four hundred feet of direct ocean access. The real estate market in Sunny Isles Beach continues to see rising prices in 2026, driven by limited supply and strong global demand for luxury oceanfront properties. The trend for near completion luxury condos is attracting buyers who prefer a shorter wait time for their new residences.
