Real Estate and Construction Updates
The Sunny Isles Beach real estate market is presenting a dynamic and complex picture in August 2026. While the preconstruction sector for luxury condominiums remains robust, the resale market appears to be favoring buyers. The median sale price for homes has seen a decrease compared to the previous year, and there is an increased supply of homes on the market. Despite this, the city’s skyline continues its dramatic transformation with several high profile projects underway. Construction of the Bentley Residences is progressing, and upon completion, it is slated to be the tallest building in Sunny Isles Beach. The St. Regis Residences is another major development with its south tower already under vertical construction and financing secured for the north tower. Additionally, the City Commission has recently approved a new 62 story oceanfront condominium tower. This wave of development underscores the continued high end investment in the area, even as the broader market shows signs of adjustment.
