Major Real Estate Developments Transforming the Skyline
The skyline of Sunny Isles Beach continues its dramatic transformation with several ultra luxury condominium towers making significant progress. Construction is well advanced on the world’s first Bentley Residences, a 62 story oceanfront tower at 18401 Collins Avenue. Developed by Dezer Development, the project is a landmark for the prestigious Bentley Motors brand, marking its first venture into residential real estate. Not far away, The St. Regis Residences is also moving forward with its two tower project. The nearly sold out South Tower is under construction, and developers recently secured a major land loan to begin work on the North Tower in the summer of 2026. Additionally, the city has approved plans for what will be its tallest building, a 62 story condominium project known as the Miami Beach Club at 19051 Collins Avenue. This development signals a continued trend of high end, branded residences defining the city’s architectural landscape.
