FDOT Roadway Improvement Project on Collins Avenue Commences
The Florida Department of Transportation is set to begin a significant roadway improvement project today, June 15, 2026, along State Road A1A/Collins Avenue. The project will extend from south of NE 163 Street to north of NE 178 Street and is expected to last for approximately six months. Residents and visitors should anticipate lane and sidewalk closures during non peak hours. The scope of work includes upgrading vehicular and pedestrian signals, repaving and restriping the road, and improving bicycle signalization. The city also has several public meetings scheduled this week, including a City Commission Workshop for agenda review on June 16 and another workshop for special presentations on June 18, both open to the public at the Sunny Isles Beach Government Center.
Real Estate Market Shows Signs of a Shift
The Sunny Isles Beach luxury condominium market is experiencing a notable shift, with recent reports indicating it has become a buyer’s market. A mid year 2026 market analysis of the Jade Condos—Jade Beach, Jade Ocean, and Jade Signature—reveals a significant increase in inventory and longer days on the market. This trend suggests that sellers are more willing to negotiate than they were in the peak years of 2021 to 2023. Broader market data from May 2026 shows a decrease in the median sale price of homes compared to the previous year, with properties spending more time on the market before selling. Specifically, the median sale price for a home was down significantly, while the number of days on the market increased. This contrasts with earlier 2026 trends that saw prices rising due to limited supply and high demand.
Beach and Ocean Conditions
Beachgoers in Sunny Isles Beach today can expect calm seas suitable for swimming. The wave height is not anticipated to exceed three feet. The water quality at Samson Park beach meets state standards based on the most recent testing. The marine forecast indicates gentle to moderate easterly winds. While conditions are generally favorable, there is a possibility of scattered thunderstorms over the water. Boaters and swimmers should remain aware of potentially hazardous winds and seas that can accompany any storms. Sunrise was at 6:28 AM and sunset is expected at 8:13 PM.
Community Events and Local Happenings
The city continues to foster a strong sense of community with various events. Over the weekend, a beach cleanup and a ‘School’s Out Party’ for teens were held. The city encourages residents to stay informed about community engagement and development projects. Looking ahead, residents can participate in a free Full Moon Yoga class on the beach on June 29. In other local news, the city is considering a new ordinance to regulate the use of electric bicycles, similar to existing rules for electric scooters, which will be discussed in upcoming commission meetings.
