City Officially Opens New Intracoastal Sports Park
The City of Sunny Isles Beach recently celebrated the grand opening of the new Intracoastal Sports Park, located at 15800 Collins Avenue. This new community space is a significant step in promoting health, wellness, and community connection within the city. The park’s opening is a welcome addition for residents, offering more green space and recreational opportunities. This development comes as the city also announced the budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The Sunny Isles Beach Commission recently approved the operating and capital improvement budget for the upcoming fiscal year after an extended and reportedly heated discussion. The commission debated the use of building fund surpluses and other financial matters before passing the budget with a 3 to 2 vote.
Major Real Estate and Construction Projects Advancing
Sunny Isles Beach continues to be a hub of development with several major construction projects underway. The city is moving forward with the Central Island Drainage Project, which aims to improve stormwater capacity and mitigate flooding by converting ten existing drainage wells into pressurized wells. Additionally, the Collins Avenue Undergrounding project is progressing, with crews working on secondary line connections in the Central Island area. In the luxury real estate sector, two new oceanfront towers are anticipated to be completed around 2026: the St. Regis® Residences and the Bentley Residences. These developments are set to further transform the city’s skyline, which has evolved from a motel strip to a corridor of branded luxury condominiums. The demolition of the Le Richieliu building was completed, with plans for the space to become a small green area and an eventual extension of Pelican Community Park.
