Real Estate and Construction Updates
The Sunny Isles Beach skyline is in a state of constant evolution, with several major luxury residential projects making significant progress. High profile developments such as the dual tower St. Regis Residences and the innovative Bentley Residences, which will feature a unique car elevator, are moving closer to their anticipated completion dates. Adding to the city’s vertical growth, the City Commission has given the green light to what will be the tallest building in Sunny Isles Beach, a 62 story condominium tower located at 19051 Collins Avenue. This new structure will house 145 luxury residences. While new construction is booming, the market for existing luxury condominiums is showing signs of a shift. Recent market reports from mid 2026 indicate an increase in available inventory and that properties are remaining on the market for longer periods. This trend is creating a more favorable environment for potential buyers and leading to more price negotiations. Data has also shown a decrease in the median home sale price compared to the previous year, although the number of homes sold has only seen a slight decline, indicating continued interest in the area.
