City Hosts Community Beach Cleanup
The City of Sunny Isles Beach is encouraging residents to help maintain the beauty of its coastline by participating in a community beach cleanup event today, May 16, 2026. The event is a great opportunity for community members to come together and keep the beaches pristine.

Luxury Developments Reshaping the Skyline
The Sunny Isles Beach real estate market continues to see significant activity with several high profile projects underway. The St. Regis Residences is targeting a 2026 completion for its first tower, bringing a new level of luxury service to oceanfront living. Another major development, the Bentley Residences, is slated for delivery in 2027 and will feature a unique in-residence garage system. The market is currently described as transitioning towards a buyer’s market, with an increase in available inventory providing more options for prospective purchasers. Experts note that while the market for ultra luxury new constructions remains strong, older properties are seeing increased competition. In February, the city approved plans for what will be its tallest tower, the Miami Beach Club, an 820 foot condominium that signals long term confidence in the local luxury market.
