City Commemorates 25th Anniversary of September 11th
The City of Sunny Isles Beach held a solemn commemoration event to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. The ceremony, which took place at the Government Center, honored the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the tragedy and paid tribute to the resilience of the community and the nation. In other city news, Sunny Isles Beach has been recognized for its innovative use of public service technology, receiving the 2026 Florida Local Government Information Systems Association Technology Excellence Award. Additionally, the Sunny Isles Beach Police Department has successfully achieved re-accreditation from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, highlighting its commitment to high standards of professionalism. The city also recently celebrated the grand opening of the new Intracoastal Sports Park, a significant addition to local recreational facilities.
Luxury Real Estate Development Continues to Reshape Skyline
The skyline of Sunny Isles Beach is undergoing a dramatic transformation with significant progress on several ultra luxury condominium projects. Construction on the 62 story Bentley Residences is steadily advancing, promising to become a new landmark. The St. Regis Residences has also reached a major milestone with the completion of the foundation for its south tower, and vertical construction is now underway. The strength of the luxury market was recently highlighted by the record breaking sale of a penthouse at the Estates at Acqualina for $33 million. While the preconstruction market for luxury condominiums remains robust, the resale market is showing signs of becoming a buyer’s market, with properties remaining on the market for longer periods. This provides potential negotiating opportunities for prospective buyers in the existing condo market.
