Key Takeaways

  • These are three separate condominiums, not one building — the county records TDR Tower I at 16001 Collins Avenue, Tower II at 15901 and Tower III at 15811 — 271 homes in each, 813 in total.
  • The three towers are almost perfectly identical on paper — 271 homes apiece, homes from about 1,435 to 2,900 square feet, medians of 2,106, 2,106 and 2,084, and nothing but two- and three-bedrooms.
  • For three complete years they moved together — per square foot: Tower I $764 to $807, Tower II $765 to $816, Tower III $746 to $801 between 2023 and 2025 — all three up, within a few dollars of each other.
  • Their 2026 figures then diverge wildly, and that is a sample-size effect — Tower I prints $881, Tower II $711, Tower III $709 — on nine, five and seven sales respectively. Three identical buildings cannot part company by 24% in one year.
  • Nobody who resold has lost money — 130 resales across the three towers since 2023, none below purchase price, with median gains of 72.9%, 77.8% and 66.6% on holds of thirteen to sixteen years.
  • Tower III is the most liquid of the three — one home in twenty per year, against one in twenty-two at Tower I and one in twenty-seven at Tower II.

Three towers, 813 homes, and one very useful accident

The Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser records three separate condominiums here: TDR TOWER I CONDO at 16001 Collins Avenue, TDR TOWER II CONDO at 15901, and TDR TOWER III CONDO at 15811. Each contains exactly 271 homes. I pulled all three, folio by folio, and kept them apart.

What makes this address unusually valuable is how alike the three are. Tower I and Tower II both run from 1,435 to 2,770 square feet with a median of 2,106. Tower III runs from 1,463 to 2,928, median 2,084. All three are made up almost entirely of two- and three-bedroom homes — 194 two-bedrooms and 77 three-bedrooms in Tower I, 190 and 76 in Tower II, 194 and 75 in Tower III. On the 2026 tax roll their median assessed values are $1,305,752, $1,313,465 and $1,334,300 — a spread of just 2.2% across three buildings.

Three near-identical buildings, sold in sequence by the same developer, measured from the same record on the same day, is about as close to a controlled experiment as Miami real estate offers. It is worth using carefully, because it shows you something no single building can.

Three years together, then a year apart

142 qualified, arm’s-length sales across the three towers in four years. Portfolio transfers are excluded and identical same-day transactions collapsed to one.

Read the three complete years first. Tower I went $764, $815, $807. Tower II went $765, $815, $816. Tower III went $746, $841, $801. Three separate condominiums, 121 sales between them, moving as one: up in 2024, holding in 2025, and finishing within fifteen dollars a foot of each other.

Then look at 2026. Tower I prints $881, Tower II $711, Tower III $709 — a spread of 24%, on nine, five and seven sales. Three buildings this alike do not part company by a quarter in eight months. What you are looking at is not three different markets; it is what a handful of transactions does to a median.

This is the most useful thing on the page, and it generalises. When you are shown a single building’s current-year figure and told the market has moved, ask how many sales it rests on. Here I can prove the answer matters, because I have three identical buildings and they disagree with each other by 24% while measuring the same market in the same month.

Turnover: one home in twenty-two at Tower I, one in twenty-seven at Tower II and one in twenty at Tower III. Record sales are $2,950,000 (Tower I, April 2024), $2,990,000 (Tower II, May 2024) and $3,200,000 (Tower III, August 2013).

What owners here have made

The towers were sold in sequence: Tower I mostly in 2008 and 2009, Tower II in 2010, Tower III in 2011 — in other words, into and just after the crash.

Across the three buildings, 130 homes have resold since the start of 2023 with an earlier purchase on record, and not one sold at a loss. Median gains were +72.9% at Tower I (45 resales, holds of about sixteen years), +77.8% at Tower II (35 resales, fourteen years) and +66.6% at Tower III (50 resales, thirteen years). The weakest single outcome anywhere in the three sets was +7.1%; the strongest was +170.1%.

As everywhere on this site, those are gross figures — before commissions, closing costs, taxes, assessments and more than a decade of carrying costs — and they cover only the homes that sold.

Which tower, and for whom?

It suits a buyer who wants a large two- or three-bedroom on Sunny Isles oceanfront. With a median home above 2,080 square feet in all three towers and no one-bedroom inventory to speak of, this is space rather than pied-a-terre stock.

On which tower: the honest answer is that the record does not separate them on price. Their assessed medians sit within 2.2%, their three complete years of sales agree within fifteen dollars a foot, and their record sales are within $250,000. Tower III trades most often — one home in twenty against one in twenty-seven at Tower II — so if liquidity is what you are buying, that is the difference the record actually supports.

It suits a buyer shopping a headline badly. Whichever tower you are shown, the current-year figure rests on between five and nine sales.

If you are selling here, use the three complete years, not 2026, and be ready to explain the difference — a buyer quoting Tower II’s or Tower III’s $709–$711 at you is quoting five to seven transactions, and a seller quoting Tower I’s $881 is doing the same thing in the other direction. The defensible number for all three towers is the roughly $800 per square foot that 121 sales across 2023 to 2025 support, adjusted for your own floorplate and floor.

Verified 18 August 2026 against the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser record for 16001, 15901 and 15811 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach — all folios under TDR TOWER I CONDO, TDR TOWER II CONDO and TDR TOWER III CONDO retrieved individually on 18 August 2026 and filtered to residential homes. Each address also returns a single plat folio under Tatums Ocean Beach Park, which is excluded. Sale figures are qualified, arm’s-length transactions only, with portfolio transfers excluded and identical same-day transactions collapsed to a single sale. 2026 is an incomplete year resting on nine, five and seven sales respectively, and is explicitly not used to establish a direction for any tower. Long-run gain figures compare each home’s earliest recorded qualified sale with its most recent, gross of commissions, closing costs, taxes, assessments and carrying costs, and cover only the 130 homes that have resold. Floor level, view and condition are not recorded by the county and are not adjusted for. Building age, storey count and amenity detail are omitted: no primary source has been confirmed for them. Re-check when the next tax roll publishes.

Trump Towers I, II and III — Frequently Asked Questions

Is Trump Towers one building or three?

Three separate condominiums: TDR Tower I at 16001 Collins Avenue, Tower II at 15901 and Tower III at 15811, with exactly 271 homes in each, 813 in total.

Are the three towers different from each other?

Barely, on the county record. Homes run from about 1,435 to 2,900 square feet with medians of 2,106, 2,106 and 2,084; all three are almost entirely two- and three-bedrooms; and their 2026 median assessed values sit within 2.2% of one another.

Are prices at Trump Towers rising or falling?

Across the three complete years they rose together and then held — Tower I $764 to $807, Tower II $765 to $816, Tower III $746 to $801. The 2026 figures diverge sharply ($881, $711 and $709) but rest on nine, five and seven sales, which is a sample-size effect rather than three different markets.

Which tower is the best investment?

The sales record does not separate them on price: three complete years agree within fifteen dollars per square foot and their record sales are within $250,000. Where they do differ is liquidity — Tower III trades one home in twenty per year, against one in twenty-two at Tower I and one in twenty-seven at Tower II.

Has anyone lost money at Trump Towers?

Not among recent sellers. All 130 homes that resold since 2023 with an earlier purchase on record sold at a gain: median +72.9% at Tower I, +77.8% at Tower II and +66.6% at Tower III, on holds of thirteen to sixteen years. The weakest single outcome was +7.1%.

What are the most expensive sales on record?

$3,200,000 at Tower III in August 2013, $2,990,000 at Tower II in May 2024 and $2,950,000 at Tower I in April 2024.

How often do homes here change hands?

142 qualified sales across 813 homes in four years — one home in twenty per year at Tower III, one in twenty-two at Tower I and one in twenty-seven at Tower II.
