Skyscraper Development and Real Estate Market Adjustments
The skyline of Sunny Isles Beach continues its dramatic transformation with significant luxury residential projects making headway. Construction on the highly anticipated Bentley Residences is progressing, with the project expected to be delivered in late 2026 or early 2027. This development is notable for its partnership with the luxury automaker and its unique car elevator, the Dezervator. The city has also approved what will be its tallest building, a 62 story condominium tower at 19051 Collins Avenue. While new construction forges ahead, the broader real estate market in the area is experiencing a noticeable shift. Recent reports from mid 2026 suggest an increase in property inventory and longer times for properties to sell. This trend indicates a move towards a more buyer friendly market, offering more negotiating power to those looking to purchase a home in this exclusive oceanfront community.
