Muse Residences Sunny Isles: 2026 Buyer's Guide

Muse Residences is a 49-story oceanfront condominium at 17141 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, completed in 2018 by Property Markets Group (PMG) and S2 Development, with Carlos Ott as design architect, Sieger Suarez Architectural Partnership as architect of record, and Antrobus + Ramirez on interiors. The building holds just 68 residences across its 49 floors, with flow-through, full-width east-to-west layouts on most levels -- one of the lowest-density condominium projects on the Sunny Isles oceanfront row.

The building is unusual on several counts. Every residence contains an original sculpture by Helidon Xhixha, an Albanian-Italian artist known for polished stainless-steel forms; the sculptures were commissioned specifically for the building and delivered as part of each home. The garage runs a fully robotic parking system, the first of its kind in South Florida when it opened -- residents request their car via app and receive a text message when it arrives. The floor plates are engineered so that every unit crosses the full building depth and delivers direct Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal exposures from a single residence.

Interiors are the work of Miami-based Antrobus + Ramirez -- Alison Antrobus and Ruby Ramirez, who met at London-based Yoo Ltd. in 2006 -- with Troy Dean Interiors. Kitchens are custom Italian cabinetry with fully-integrated Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances; a smart-glass divide can turn opaque at one touch to separate the kitchen from the living room.

The Quick Take

Where is Sunny Isles Beach?

Sunny Isles Beach is a 2.5-mile barrier island north of Bal Harbour and south of Hallandale Beach, incorporated in 1997 and now defined by a dense oceanfront row of ultra-luxury condominium towers along Collins Avenue. Muse sits in the middle of that row.

The 17141 Collins address puts Muse in the same oceanfront pocket as Jade Beach (17001 Collins) and Jade Ocean (17121 Collins) immediately to the south, and a short walk north to Chateau Beach Residences, Acqualina Resort, The Mansions at Acqualina, and Turnberry Ocean Club. Bal Harbour Shops is about a mile south on Collins. Aventura Mall and the Brightline Aventura station are 10 minutes west across the William Lehman Causeway. Miami International Airport is 20 to 25 minutes south; Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International is 15 minutes north.

Sunny Isles Beach has been informally called "Little Moscow" for the concentration of Russian-speaking buyers and residents through the 2000s and early 2010s; the label has faded as the buyer mix has broadened to Latin American, Turkish, Middle Eastern, and domestic ultra-high-net-worth purchasers.

Who's Behind Muse Residences?

Two developers with strong Miami trophy track records.

Property Markets Group (PMG) is a New York and Miami-based developer active in supertall condominium and rental development in Manhattan and South Florida. In Miami the firm has been involved with Echo Brickell, Echo Aventura, Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami, Sage Beach, Muse Sunny Isles, and other trophy projects, and in New York with 111 West 57th Street (the SHoP-designed Steinway Tower) and other high-profile projects.

S2 Development was PMG's local partner on the project.

The design architect is Carlos Ott -- the Uruguayan-Canadian architect who won the international competition in 1983 to design the Opera Bastille in Paris, one of Francois Mitterrand's Grands Projets, from a field of 744 entries. Ott's post-Bastille catalog includes the National Bank of Dubai headquarters, Simcoe Place in Toronto, and mixed-use towers across Dubai and Shanghai. He runs his practice from Montevideo with offices in Dubai, Montreal, Shanghai, and Toronto.

Sieger Suarez Architectural Partnership is the architect of record. The Miami-based firm has been an anchor of South Florida high-rise design for decades and has worked on many Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront towers.

Antrobus + Ramirez handled interior architecture. Alison Antrobus and Ruby Ramirez are alumni of London-based Yoo Ltd. -- Ramirez continued at Yoo through 2010, then rejoined Antrobus in Miami as a partner. Their Miami portfolio includes the Palazzo Del Sol residences on Fisher Island, the interiors of Prime Italian, and the common areas at Muse.

Architecture and Design

Carlos Ott's Muse concept treats the tower as a single sculptural mass with a curved oceanfront facade, then engineers every floor plate as a flow-through east-to-west residence. Every unit runs the full width of the building, which means direct Atlantic exposures on the east and direct Intracoastal exposures on the west from a single home.

Sieger Suarez, as architect of record, executed the design at construction scale. The tower stands 49 stories with rooftop pool amenities at the top, a third-floor spa and fitness deck oriented to the ocean, and the ground-floor beach-level pool and F&B service on the sand.

Interior architecture from Antrobus + Ramirez and Troy Dean Interiors treats each residence as a large single-tenant floor. Highlights include:

• 12-foot ceilings on standard residences
• 8-foot-tall Italian entry doors
• Custom Italian cabinetry with fully-integrated Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances
• Elegant marble countertops and marble baths
• Smart-glass divider between kitchen and living room that turns opaque on demand
• Smart-home automation including biometric access and integrated speakers
• 60-foot-wide terraces up to 38 feet deep, with summer kitchens and weather-resistant entertainment systems
• Private elevator entry direct to each residence
• Marble and wood flooring

Each residence also arrives with an original Helidon Xhixha sculpture in polished stainless steel, commissioned for the project. Xhixha's work has been shown at the Venice Biennale, the Uffizi Gallery, and Somerset House; the Muse commission is unusual in that the sculptures are integrated into the sale of each individual home rather than displayed only in common areas.

Residences at Muse

The verified floor plan set:

• 68 residences across 49 stories
• Flow-through, full-width east-to-west floor plates with ocean and Intracoastal exposures from every unit
• Two- to five-bedroom floor plans plus full-floor penthouses
• Approximately 2,360 SF to 5,995 SF for standard residences
• Larger penthouses beyond that range at the top of the tower
• 12-foot ceilings
• Floor-to-ceiling impact glass
• Italian marble flooring
• Custom Italian kitchen cabinetry with Wolf, Sub-Zero, Bosch integrated appliances
• 60-foot-wide terraces, up to 38 feet deep, with summer kitchens
• Private elevator entry to every residence
• Smart-home automation
• Helidon Xhixha sculpture in every residence

Resale activity at Muse has run below the frequency of larger Sunny Isles trophy buildings because of the 68-unit count. When homes trade here, they trade slowly and buyers underwrite specific line and floor exposure carefully.

Amenities

Muse is sized to a 68-unit building, which produces a staffing-to-residents ratio closer to a private resort than a typical condominium.

• Vanishing-edge oceanfront pool with poolside food and beverage service
• Private beach club with chair, umbrella, and F&B service
• Third-floor spa and fitness deck oriented to the ocean
• Fitness center with cardio, weights, Pilates and yoga studios
• Full-service spa with sauna, steam, and treatment rooms
• Breakfast gallery with ocean views and art programming
• Children's playroom
• Screening room
• Wine cellar and residents' lounge
• Farm-to-table lounge
• Pet services on-site
• 24-hour concierge, butler, valet, and security
• Fully robotic parking garage -- residents request their car via app and receive a text when it is delivered to the ground floor

The robotic garage was novel for Sunny Isles at delivery and remains rare in the neighborhood. It is a real differentiator for owners who value the reduction in valet wait time; it is also a maintenance line item worth tracking on the HOA budget.

How Muse Compares to Other Sunny Isles Trophy Condos

Muse is one of the lowest-density boutique towers on the Sunny Isles oceanfront row.

Notes:

• Muse is one of the smallest oceanfront buildings on the row. Only Regalia goes smaller. That drives up staffing-to-owner ratios and reduces amenity congestion.
• Carlos Ott has designed multiple Sunny Isles towers. Ott also designed Jade Ocean at 17121 Collins next door, and both Muse and Jade Ocean share a similar sculptural facade approach.
• Antrobus + Ramirez interiors are a Fisher Island / trophy-tier signature. The firm's work on Palazzo Del Sol on Fisher Island uses a similar restrained material palette.
• The Xhixha sculpture inclusion is unique in the Sunny Isles cohort. No other building in this comp set delivers an original art commission bundled with each residence.
• Floor-plate width and flow-through layouts put Muse alongside Regalia as the two Sunny Isles buildings offering true east-to-west full-width residences with ocean and Intracoastal views from a single unit.

The Sunny Isles Lifestyle

Muse sits in the middle of the Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront row -- a stretch of Collins Avenue that is a dense high-rise trophy corridor rather than a walkable retail street. Day-to-day shopping is driven to Aventura Mall (Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, roughly 300 tenants) 10 minutes west across the Lehman Causeway, or to Bal Harbour Shops (Chanel, Saint Laurent, Cartier, Goyard, Le Zoo, Makoto) about a mile south.

On-site dining is limited to the resident F&B program at the pool and breakfast gallery. A five-minute drive brings you to Acqualina's Il Mulino New York and AQ Chop House, and slightly further to the Bal Harbour restaurant row and the Fontainebleau Miami Beach dining strip. Haulover Marina and Haulover Inlet for boating are five minutes south.

The Muse buyer skews toward international purchasers -- Latin American principal residences, European second homes, Middle Eastern investment -- attracted to the low unit count and the level of privacy that produces. Schools include the Aventura City of Excellence School (ACES) K-8 charter across the causeway; assigned Miami-Dade public schools are Highland Oaks Elementary and Middle and Michael M. Krop High. Private day school options are concentrated in Aventura and North Bay Village.

Beach access from Muse is direct through the private beach club. The Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront here is a wide, lifeguarded strand. Public parks nearby include Samson Oceanfront Park and Heisman Park; Newport Fishing Pier at Pier Park is a short drive north.

How does Muse compare to Regalia Sunny Isles?

Both are small-format Sunny Isles trophy towers. Regalia has 39 residences across 46 stories, one per floor, delivered 2014 by Arquitectonica. Muse has 68 residences across 49 stories, most flow-through, delivered 2018 by Carlos Ott / Sieger Suarez. Regalia is more single-line-per-floor exclusivity; Muse pairs flow-through layouts with a broader amenity program and the robotic garage.

Bottom Line

Muse Residences is one of the smallest, most design-integrated buildings on the Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront row -- 68 flow-through residences behind a Carlos Ott / Sieger Suarez tower, with Antrobus + Ramirez interiors, a Helidon Xhixha sculpture in every home, a robotic garage, and a staffing ratio calibrated for a boutique buyer. For an owner prioritizing privacy, a low-density building, and true east-to-west full-width residences, Muse is the reference point in this segment of Collins Avenue.
