Every building, by price per square foot
Ranked on 2026 sales. Tap any building for its full record — the four-year table, the resale outcomes, and what the county holds.
Method. Every condominium declaration in Sunny Isles Beach retrieved folio by folio from the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser and filtered to residential homes, excluding commercial, parking, cabana and storage. Each declaration is checked against its common-element shares, which by law sum to 100%, to confirm no part of a building is missing. Bulk and portfolio transfers are excluded outright. These are closed sales, not active listings, and 2026 is an incomplete year.
- Sunny Isles went up while Miami Beach went down. The median luxury condo sale price reached $1,350,000, up 6.2% year over year — in the same period luxury price per square foot across the wider barrier-island market fell 14.8%.
- Pricing spans a factor of nearly two. Roughly $1,200 to $2,200 per square foot depending on building and view, with the branded towers at the top and the 2000s stock at the bottom.
- It is slow, and inventory is elevated. Days on market ran 135 to 138 days through Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, with inventory high relative to the city's own historical norms. Rising prices and long marketing times together mean sellers are holding, not capitulating.
- Carrying costs are materially lower than Bal Harbour's. Median monthly condo association fees run about $1,436 here against $3,010 in Bal Harbour — a difference of roughly $19,000 a year on an otherwise similar lifestyle.
- This is Miami's densest concentration of branded oceanfront towers. Porsche, Armani, Bentley, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Acqualina, Turnberry, Regalia and Jade all sit within a strip about two miles long.

Why Sunny Isles held while the wider market fell
The most useful fact about this market in 2026 is a comparison. Across the wider barrier-island luxury condo market — South Beach, Mid-Beach, North Beach, Surfside, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles and Fisher Island combined — price per square foot fell 14.8% year over year in Q1 2026. Sunny Isles' own median sale price rose 6.2%, to $1,350,000.
Two things explain the divergence.
The stock is newer. Miami Beach's decline is concentrated in older buildings carrying structural obligations, reserve shortfalls and financing problems. Sunny Isles' oceanfront strip is dominated by towers built in the last fifteen to twenty years — several in the last five. Those buildings are largely on the right side of Florida's post-Surfside regime rather than the wrong side of it.
The product is branded and scarce. There is a fixed and small number of Porsche Design Tower, Bentley, Armani, Ritz-Carlton and Estates at Acqualina residences in existence, and no way to make more of them. That end of the market has behaved differently from the broad market throughout this cycle.
The counterweight is time. At 135 to 138 days on market with elevated inventory, this is not a fast market — it is a market where sellers of good product have been willing to wait, and have been rewarded for it. If you are buying, expect to negotiate on terms and timing more successfully than on headline price.
The buildings, and what they actually cost
Figures below are from a Q2 2026 market report published 19 May 2026. Treat them as orientation, not live pricing — in a market this thin, one closing moves a building's average.
- Porsche Design Tower — the car elevator building, and the most recognisable address on the strip. Active resales roughly $3.7 million to $14.6 million, with oceanfront positions at $1,800 to $2,200 per square foot.
- Ritz-Carlton Residences — recent transactions around $2,167 per square foot, near the top of the market.
- Acqualina Resort and Residences — active listings roughly $3.2 million to $17.5 million.
- Estates at Acqualina — from approximately $5 million and up. The newest and most expensive of the Acqualina family.
- Bentley Residences — from $5.8 million, with a penthouse asking $37.5 million. The other car-elevator tower.
- Jade Signature — resales roughly $2 million to $8 million. Herzog and de Meuron architecture, and generally the connoisseur's pick on this strip.
- Residences by Armani/Casa — entry around $1.07 million, which makes it one of the most accessible ways into a genuinely branded oceanfront building.
- St. Regis Residences — the newest branded arrival on the strip.
Below the branded tier sit Turnberry Ocean Club, Regalia, Muse Residences and the Jade Ocean and Jade Beach pair — all oceanfront, all considerably less expensive per foot, and all worth understanding before you assume the branded premium is the only way in.
The carrying-cost argument nobody makes
Buyers comparing Sunny Isles with Bal Harbour usually compare purchase prices. The more consequential difference is monthly.
Median monthly condo association fees run roughly $1,436 in Sunny Isles Beach against $3,010 in Bal Harbour. On a comparable residence that is a difference of about $19,000 a year, every year, and it compounds into the resale calculation because the next buyer prices it too.
That does not make Bal Harbour a bad buy — it is smaller, more finished and more private, and the fees pay for real things. But if you are choosing between the two on lifestyle grounds and treating the monthly as a rounding error, run the twenty-year number before you decide.

What to check before you buy here
- Which vintage you are actually buying. Sunny Isles reads as uniformly new from the road. It is not — there is meaningful 1990s and 2000s stock behind the branded towers, and it carries the same structural and reserve obligations as anything of that age elsewhere in Miami-Dade.
- Warrantability. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac maintain a non-public list of condominium projects they will not lend against, and the South Florida count has roughly doubled in two years. Limited Review was eliminated on 3 August 2026, so more buildings now face full assessment. Units in ineligible buildings routinely trade 15% to 30% below comparable units in eligible ones. Detail on the Miami condos for sale page.
- Reserve funding. Associations that had waived reserves were required to begin funding them from 1 January 2026.
- The line of sight, in person, from the unit. Sunny Isles towers sit close together on a narrow strip. Direct-ocean, ocean-view and city-view positions in the same building can differ by several hundred dollars a square foot, and floor plans do not tell you which you are getting.
- Rental rules. Minimum lease terms vary considerably between buildings here and they decide your yield entirely.
Who Sunny Isles suits
It suits a buyer who wants a genuinely new, genuinely branded oceanfront residence and cares more about the building than about walkable street life. This is a strip of towers, not a village — that is the trade, and people who understand it before they buy are happy here.
It suits international buyers, particularly the long-established Russian, Latin American and Turkish communities, for whom the direct ocean and the newness of the stock are the entire proposition.
It suits anyone who has priced Bal Harbour and flinched at the monthly.
It does not suit someone who wants to walk to dinner from twenty options, or who wants a fast sale — 135 to 138 days on market is the normal experience here, in both directions.
How I would approach it
Sunny Isles is the clearest case in Miami of newer stock outperforming older stock. The strip rose 6.2% while the wider barrier-island market fell 14.8%, and the reason is not glamour — it is that these buildings are mostly on the right side of Florida's structural and reserve rules while much of Miami Beach is on the wrong side of them.
The mistake I see is buyers treating the strip as interchangeable. Between Armani/Casa at about $1.07 million and Bentley at $5.8 million there is a factor of five, and the difference in what you actually own is not five times anything. Line of sight, vintage, association health and rental rules explain more of the price than the badge on the door does.
I have been selling Miami real estate since 2002 and have closed more than a billion dollars in property. Tell me your budget and whether you intend to rent it, and I will tell you plainly which three buildings on this strip fit — and which ones I would not buy at any price.

Sunny Isles Beach real estate: frequently asked questions
How much does a condo cost in Sunny Isles Beach?
The median luxury condo sale price was $1,350,000, up 6.2% year over year as of the Q2 2026 report. Price per square foot spans roughly $1,200 to $2,200 depending on building and view. Entry to a branded oceanfront building starts around $1.07 million at Residences by Armani/Casa, while Bentley Residences starts at $5.8 million and its penthouse is asking $37.5 million.
Why did Sunny Isles hold value when Miami Beach fell?
Two reasons. The stock is newer — most of the oceanfront strip was built in the last fifteen to twenty years, so those buildings largely sit on the right side of Florida's post-Surfside structural and reserve requirements, while Miami Beach's decline is concentrated in older buildings carrying those obligations. And the product is branded and scarce: there is a fixed number of Porsche, Bentley, Armani, Ritz-Carlton and Estates at Acqualina residences, and no way to make more.
What are the best condo buildings in Sunny Isles Beach?
At the top: Porsche Design Tower, with resales around $3.7 million to $14.6 million and oceanfront positions at $1,800 to $2,200 per square foot; Ritz-Carlton Residences at roughly $2,167 per square foot; Estates at Acqualina from about $5 million; Bentley Residences from $5.8 million; and Jade Signature, by Herzog and de Meuron, at roughly $2 million to $8 million. Residences by Armani/Casa is the most accessible branded entry at around $1.07 million. Turnberry Ocean Club, Regalia, Muse and the Jade Ocean and Jade Beach pair sit below the branded tier and cost considerably less per foot.
How long do condos take to sell in Sunny Isles Beach?
Slowly. Days on market ran 135 to 138 through Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, with inventory elevated relative to the city's historical norms. Prices rising alongside long marketing times means sellers of good product have been willing to wait rather than cut — so expect to negotiate more successfully on terms, timing and closing flexibility than on headline price.
Is Sunny Isles Beach cheaper than Bal Harbour?
On monthly carrying cost, materially. Median monthly condo association fees run about $1,436 in Sunny Isles Beach against $3,010 in Bal Harbour — roughly $19,000 a year on a comparable residence, which also gets priced into your eventual resale. Bal Harbour is smaller, more private and more finished, and the fees pay for real things, but run the twenty-year number before treating the difference as a rounding error.
What should I check before buying in Sunny Isles Beach?
Five things. Which vintage you are actually buying, since there is meaningful 1990s and 2000s stock behind the branded towers. Whether the building is warrantable for conventional financing, which matters far more since Limited Review was eliminated on 3 August 2026. Whether the association is genuinely funding reserves, required from 1 January 2026 for associations that had waived them. The line of sight from the specific unit — direct-ocean, ocean-view and city-view positions in the same tower can differ by hundreds of dollars per square foot. And the building's minimum lease term, which decides your rental yield entirely.
