Skyline Transformation Continues with Luxury Tower Construction
The skyline of Sunny Isles Beach is undergoing a dramatic transformation with significant progress on several ultra luxury condominium towers.

This 63 story tower will feature unique amenities, including the patented ‘Dezervator’ car elevator that transports vehicles directly to private sky garages within the residences. Nearby, The St. Regis Residences is set to become the tallest set of towers in the city, rising 62 stories and featuring extensive oceanfront property. The South Tower is expected to be completed in late 2028 with the North Tower to follow.
