Sunny Isles Beach Condos Compared: Trophy Tower Guide (2026)

Sunny Isles Beach is a 2.5-mile barrier-island city bracketed by Bal Harbour and Golden Beach, and Collins Avenue runs its full length as an oceanfront wall of towers. What was Motel Row through the 1950s and 1960s -- 30-plus low-rise themed properties including the Ocean Palm, the first two-story motel in the U.S. -- was rebuilt between 2003 and today as one of the densest clusters of branded and ultra-luxury oceanfront condominiums in the country. The Sunny Isles Beach neighborhood today holds more feet of trophy-tier Atlantic frontage per mile than any comparable stretch of Florida coast.

For a buyer cross-shopping the trophy tier, the buildings sort into five eras that matter more than any single floor plan. The Trump-era 2000s delivered the first modern condo wall on Collins with the five Dezer / Related / Trump Organization towers between 2006 and 2008. The 2010s Jade family built Fortune International's three Carlos Ott and Herzog & de Meuron towers between 2008 and 2018. The ultra-luxury boutique tier -- Acqualina, Mansions, Estates, Regalia, Muse, Chateau Beach, Turnberry Ocean Club -- delivered the low-density, high-per-square-foot inventory between 2006 and 2022. The 2020s branded tier brought Porsche Design Tower, Armani/Casa, and the Ritz-Carlton Residences between 2017 and 2020. And the current preconstruction cycle -- St. Regis Residences and Bentley Residences -- is under construction now for 2028 delivery. This guide is the head-to-head on all of them.

How Sunny Isles's Residential Inventory Works: Five Eras

The trophy tier on Collins is not a single product. Understanding the era answers most cross-shopping questions before you get to floor plans.

Era 1: The Trump-Era Wall (2006-2008)

Five Sieger Suarez towers delivered by Dezer Development, The Related Group, and the Trump Organization -- Trump Palace, Trump Royale, Trump Tower I, II, and III -- opened the modern condo wall between 2006 and 2008. Roughly 1,500 combined residences across the five buildings, with unit counts of 271 to 391 per tower.

Era 2: The Jade Family (2008-2018)

Fortune International's three Sunny Isles Jade towers -- Jade Beach (2008), Jade Ocean (2009), and Jade Signature (2018) -- form a linked run of Carlos Ott and Herzog & de Meuron buildings between the 16900 and 17100 blocks of Collins.

Era 3: The Ultra-Luxury Boutique Tier (2006-2022)

Acqualina (2006), Regalia (2014), Chateau Beach (2015), Mansions at Acqualina (2015), Jade Signature (2018), Muse (2018), Turnberry Ocean Club (2020), Ritz-Carlton Residences (2020), and the Estates at Acqualina (South 2022, North 2023) all sit in the 25-to-260-unit range with private-elevator entry and per-square-foot pricing that broke the Sunny Isles ceiling for their respective delivery years.

Era 4: The 2020s Branded Trophy Towers (2017-2020)

Porsche Design Tower (January 2017), Residences by Armani/Casa (2019), and the Ritz-Carlton Residences (2020) brought hard-brand and licensed-architect signatures to Collins at scale. Porsche's Dezervator car-elevator system was the first of its kind on a residential tower in the U.S.

Era 5: Preconstruction (2024-2029)

Bentley Residences and the St. Regis Residences are both under active construction on Collins, targeting 2028-2029 delivery. Both were reservation-heavy sellouts and will be the newest inventory on the strip through the end of the decade.

The 2020s Branded Precon and Newest Trophy Tier

Five buildings define the top of the current inventory: three delivered between 2017 and 2020, and two under construction now for 2028-2029.

Porsche Design Tower (18555 Collins, January 2017)

• 60 stories, 641 feet, delivered January 2017 by Gil Dezer of Dezer Development on a 2.2-acre site with 400 feet of private beach
• 132 residences across more than 500,000 sf of living space, 3- to 5-bedroom flow-through plans from roughly 4,252 to 16,915 sf plus a small triplex penthouse collection
• Sieger Suarez architecture in collaboration with the Porsche Design Group out of Germany
• The Dezervator, a patented robotic car elevator system, lifts owners and their vehicles from a ground-floor entry directly into a private sky garage adjacent to each residence in roughly 75 seconds -- three car elevators serve 284 parking spaces across the 132 units, so most owners can park two to four cars at their door
• 10-foot ceilings standard, floor-to-ceiling glass, oversize terraces with private plunge pools on select units, summer kitchens

Porsche Design Tower was the first residential tower in the U.S. to deliver a car elevator system that reaches every floor. The Dezervator is the signature that defines the building and the reason it commands the per-square-foot premium it does over neighboring 2010s towers.

Turnberry Ocean Club (18501 Collins, 2020)

• 54 stories (some sources cite 52), delivered 2020 by Fontainebleau Development (Turnberry Associates)
• 154 residences, 2- to 5-bedroom layouts from roughly 2,900 to more than 10,000 sf
• Carlos Zapata design architecture in collaboration with Robert Swedroe -- the twisting, cantilevered massing is a deliberate break from the rectangular slab form of most of the rest of Collins
• The Sky Club, roughly 70,000 sf across floors 30 to 32, with two cantilevered pools jutting from the tower, an outdoor sky theater, an al fresco fitness deck, and dedicated sunrise and sunset lounges
• Gaggenau kitchens, 10-foot ceilings, wraparound terraces with summer kitchens

Turnberry Ocean Club is the only Sunny Isles tower with a mid-tower amenity floor at that scale, and the Sky Club is what buyers who cross-shop it against the ocean-level amenity decks of neighboring towers are actually paying for.

Armani/Casa Residences (18975 Collins, Q4 2019)

• 56 stories, roughly 649 feet, delivered Q4 2019 by Dezer Development and The Related Group
• 308 residences, 2- to 5-bedroom flow-through plans from roughly 1,358 to 6,138 sf
• Cesar Pelli / Pelli Clarke Pelli as design architect (the firm behind the Petronas Towers and the Adrienne Arsht Center) with interiors by the Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio and landscape by Enzo Enea
• Two-story spa with indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, oceanfront pool, resident-only restaurant, cigar room, temperature-controlled wine cellar
• Every unit runs east-west to capture dual exposure across the Atlantic and the Intracoastal

The Armani/Casa building is the largest of the newer branded towers by unit count at 308 residences, which broadens the resale market compared to the boutique buildings but keeps the interior signature at the Armani/Casa level across every home.

Ritz-Carlton Residences Sunny Isles (15701 Collins, 2020)

• 52 stories, delivered February 2020 (TCO) by Fortune International Group and Chateau Group
• 212 residences, 2- to 5-bedroom flow-through layouts from roughly 1,605 to more than 6,320 sf, on a 2.2-acre site with 250 linear feet of beachfront
• Arquitectonica architecture, interiors by Italian designer Michele Bonan
• 33rd-floor private club level, beach restaurant, pool deck, kids club, full-service spa and wellness center
• Ritz-Carlton branded service -- concierge, doorman, valet, and residential attendants operate to Ritz-Carlton hospitality standards

The Ritz-Carlton Residences anchor the south end of the Sunny Isles trophy row and are the only fully-branded five-star hotel operator on the strip today (the St. Regis will join them at completion). Michele Bonan interiors give the building a warmer, more transitional signature than the Armani/Casa or Porsche buildings that lean contemporary.

St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles (18801 Collins, target 2028-2029)

• Twin 62-63 story towers at 18801 Collins, co-developed by Fortune International Group and Chateau Group
• Roughly 374 combined residences across the south tower (194 units) and north tower (180 units), on 435 linear feet of private beach
• Arquitectonica architecture with interiors by Brazilian designer Patricia Anastassiadis
• South tower broke ground August 2024 and targets Q4 2028 delivery; north tower construction loan closed April 2026 with a Q4 2029 target
• St. Regis Butler Service as the branded programming standard, plus roughly 70,000 sf of amenities on the north tower

The St. Regis Residences will be the largest preconstruction condo project delivering to Sunny Isles this decade by unit count and by amenity square footage. The Fortune-Chateau partnership is the same team behind the Ritz-Carlton Residences immediately to the south.

Bentley Residences (18401 Collins, target 2028)

• 63 stories, 749 feet, targeting delivery in 2028 -- planned as the tallest oceanfront residential tower in the U.S.
• 216 residences in 3- and 4-bedroom-plus-den plans, four units per floor, each with a private 3- or 4-car in-residence garage
• Sieger Suarez architecture with interiors curated by Bentley Home and landscape by Enzo Enea
• The Dezervator vehicle-elevator system, the same patented Dezer technology behind Porsche Design Tower, delivers cars directly into each residence's private garage
• Diamond-shaped glass facade, private plunge pools and summer kitchens on every terrace, resident-only restaurant led by four-time James Beard award winner Todd English
• Construction passed the 7th floor as of mid-2026

Bentley Residences is the second automotive-brand tower on the Sunny Isles oceanfront and the second Dezer tower to deliver the Dezervator car-elevator concept, this time at four garage bays per residence at the top of the tower.

The 2010s Ultra-Luxury Boutique Tier

Between 2014 and 2020 a run of low-density, private-elevator-entry towers reset the per-square-foot ceiling on Collins. All of them run below 200 residences and program amenities to a boutique count.

Regalia (19575 Collins, 2014)

• 46 stories, 39 residences -- one full-floor 4-bedroom home per floor across most of the tower, plus a two-floor Beach House on floors 3 and 4 and a two-story duplex penthouse
• Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica architecture, delivered by Regalia Beach Developers in 2014 on what was described as the last oceanfront development parcel in the city at the time
• Standard residence is approximately 5,515 sf interior plus a 2,100-sf wraparound terrace (~7,615 sf total)
• 360-degree glass on all four exposures with private elevator entry landing inside each foyer

Regalia is the only Sunny Isles tower with a one-residence-per-floor format at scale. The 5,515-sf floor plate is larger than most Miami penthouse layouts and is standard here. Full Regalia deep dive.

Muse Residences (17141 Collins, 2018)

• 49 stories, 68 residences -- one flow-through unit per floor in most lines, 3- to 5-bedroom plans
• Carlos Ott as design architect with Sieger Suarez as architect of record, delivered 2018 by Property Markets Group (PMG) and S2 Development
• Antrobus + Ramirez interiors, Boffi Italian kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, 12-foot ceilings
• Every unit is east-to-west, capturing both Atlantic and Intracoastal exposure from a single home
• Robotic parking was one of the first residential deployments of the technology in South Florida

Muse and Regalia are the two boutique flow-through-per-floor buildings on Sunny Isles. Muse is newer (2018 versus 2014), lower unit-count for its story count, and delivers 12-foot ceilings versus Regalia's 10. Full Muse Residences deep dive.

Chateau Beach Residences (17475 Collins, 2015)

• 33 stories, 84 residences -- among the lowest heights in the trophy tier, which is the point
• Kobi Karp architecture (some earlier marketing credited Arquitectonica; Kobi Karp is the confirmed architect of record) with the Chateau Group of Argentina as developer, delivered 2015
• 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom-plus layouts from roughly 1,488 to 9,300 sf, penthouses across full and half-floor plates
• Snaidero kitchens, Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances, private elevator entry, 10-foot ceilings
• Curvilinear massing that hands every unit both ocean and city exposures

Chateau Beach was the first 2010s Sunny Isles boutique tower under 100 units to deliver private-elevator entry across the entire program. Full Chateau Beach deep dive.

The Mansions at Acqualina (17749 Collins, 2015)

• 47 stories, 79 residences -- two per floor across most of the tower
• Cohen, Freedman, Encinosa & Associates architecture with STA Architectural Group on interiors, delivered 2015 by The Trump Group (Eddie and Jules Trump, no relation to the former U.S. president)
• Floor plans from roughly 4,557 sf to 16,000-sf full-floor estates, an unusually large upper end for an oceanfront condominium tower
• Private elevator entries, Snaidero kitchens with Gaggenau and Sub-Zero, marble baths, oversized terraces with summer kitchens
• Sits on the Acqualina campus and shares access to Acqualina Resort programming

Mansions was the first tower on the Acqualina campus to program floor plates above 10,000 sf across a meaningful portion of the residence count. Full Mansions at Acqualina deep dive.

The Estates at Acqualina (17901 Collins, 2022 South / 2023 North)

• Two-tower project on a 5.6-acre site with 502 linear feet of private beach -- an unusually deep frontage for a single Sunny Isles development
• 248 combined residences split between the south tower (154 units) and north tower (94 units); both towers at 52 stories
• Arquitectonica architecture, with the south-tower lobby designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld in one of his final commissions before his 2019 death
• South tower closings began mid-2022, north tower delivered late 2023
• Villa Acqualina, an approximately 45,000-sf amenity center, links the two towers and runs to Acqualina Resort standards

The Estates program pricing has run among the highest per-square-foot in Sunny Isles, with penthouse-level trades reported north of $40 million. Full Estates at Acqualina deep dive.

Turnberry Ocean Colony (16051 Collins, 2007)

• Two 37-38 story towers with 260 total residences, delivered 2007 by Turnberry Associates with CABI Developers, designed by Robert M. Swedroe
• 2- to 5-bedroom layouts from roughly 2,200 to 5,600 sf, private elevator entry, floor-to-ceiling glass
• Precedes the modern Sunny Isles trophy tier but is the first tower on the strip to deliver private-elevator entry to every residence at that unit count

Turnberry Ocean Colony sits one era earlier than the 2010s boutique run above -- 2007 delivery, older reserves, but the same private-elevator format that later defined Regalia, Muse, and the Palazzo-style boutique buildings.

The Herzog & de Meuron Jade Signature and the Jade Family

Fortune International Group anchored the middle of Collins with three Jade-branded towers between 2008 and 2018. All three run to the same building committee and management framework, but the buyer experience across the three is very different.

Jade Beach (17001 Collins, 2008)

• 53 stories, 249 residences (some sources cite 248), delivered 2008 by Fortune International Group and designed by Carlos Ott
• Studio through 6-bedroom plans, penthouses to roughly 6,500 sf, six to eight units per floor with private elevator entry on most lines
• Floor-to-ceiling impact glass, 9- to 10-foot ceilings, Snaidero or comparable European kitchens, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances
• Three-story cascading fountain from the pool deck to the beach

Jade Beach was the first of the Sunny Isles Jade run and the first Carlos Ott tower on Collins. Sits next door to Jade Ocean.

Jade Ocean (17121 Collins, 2009)

• 50 stories, 252 residences, delivered 2009 by Fortune International and designed by Carlos Ott
• 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom layouts plus penthouses from roughly 858 to 8,332 sf
• Six-story cascading waterfall at the entrance, and a flow-through pool that visually connects the ocean side and the city side of the tower
• Glass-bottom infinity pool on the amenity deck

Jade Ocean is the tallest per-story of the older Jade duo and delivers the signature Carlos Ott architectural gestures at a smaller scale than Jade Signature.

Jade Signature (16901 Collins, 2018)

• 57 stories, roughly 649 feet, 191 residences (some sources cite 192), delivered 2018 by Fortune International Group
• Herzog & de Meuron as design architect -- the Swiss firm's first residential project in Florida and one of only a handful of Herzog & de Meuron residential buildings in the U.S. (the firm are Pritzker Prize laureates)
• Pierre-Yves Rochon (PYR) interiors -- the Paris studio behind the Four Seasons George V and the Waldorf Astoria Chicago
• Raymond Jungles Inc. landscape design across the ground plane and pool deck
• 1- to 5-bedroom flow-through plans from 1,378 to roughly 11,661 sf, plus penthouses
• Three full floors of amenities including a private beach club, spa, and pool level

Jade Signature is the Herzog & de Meuron building on the strip -- a rare Pritzker-laureate residential project in the U.S. and the reason the building trades at a per-square-foot premium over its two older Jade siblings. Full Jade Signature deep dive.

The Original Acqualina

Acqualina Resort & Residences at 17875 Collins was the tower that opened the ultra-luxury tier on Sunny Isles when it delivered in 2006. Developed by The Trump Group (Eddie and Jules Trump) and designed by Robert Swedroe, the 51-story tower holds 188 condominium residences plus 98 condo-hotel units on a 4.5-acre site with 400 feet of Atlantic frontage. The resort portion has held Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond ratings for more than a decade, and Acqualina remains one of a handful of Forbes Five-Star oceanfront condo-hotel operations in the country.

• 1- to 5-bedroom-plus residences and penthouses, top-floor rooftop terraces with private pools on select penthouses
• Sub-Zero and Miele appliance packages, floor-to-ceiling impact glass, marble flooring, custom European kitchens
• AcquaMare, Il Mulino New York, AQ by Acqualina and the Espa spa on-site
• Anchors the Acqualina campus together with Mansions at Acqualina (2015) and the Estates at Acqualina (2022-2023) immediately to the north

Acqualina is the only condo-hotel operation on the Sunny Isles trophy strip that has consistently held Forbes Five-Star status, and the resort programming across the campus is a meaningful part of the Mansions and Estates buyer proposition -- residents at either of the two newer towers can access the Acqualina resort operation next door.

The Trump-Era Sunny Isles

Five Sieger Suarez-designed towers delivered between 2006 and 2008 -- Trump Palace, Trump Royale, Trump Tower I, Trump Tower II, and Trump Tower III -- opened the modern Collins wall. All five carry the Trump Organization licensing framework and were delivered by Dezer Development, with The Related Group as partner on Trump Tower I and Trump Tower III.

Trump Palace and Trump Royale (18101 and 18201 Collins)

The two towers of the Trump Grande resort complex (Palace 2006, Royale 2008) sit adjacent on an 11-acre parcel with roughly 1,000 feet of shared oceanfront and the Trump International Beach Resort as the hotel operator on the campus. Trump Palace is 55 stories and 274 residences in 1- to 3-bedroom plans plus penthouses. Trump Royale is 55 stories and 391 residences (some sources cite 382-384) across 1- to 4-bedroom plans with penthouses that combine up to 8,200 sf. Both towers deliver 10-foot ceilings, Cucine Italian kitchen cabinetry, and marble flooring. Full Trump Palace deep dive and full Trump Royale deep dive.

Trump Towers I, II, and III (16001, 15901, 15811 Collins)

The three-tower Trump Towers assembly on a single central-Sunny Isles parcel was delivered 2007-2008 as a Dezer / Related Group partnership. Each of the three towers holds 271 residences on 43-45 stories, all designed by Sieger Suarez. Trump Tower I delivered December 2007, Trump Tower II in 2008, and Trump Tower III in 2008-2009. All three share a management framework and amenity deck across the assembled parcel. Full guides: Trump Tower I, Trump Tower II, and Trump Tower III.

The five Trump-era towers are the deepest pool of inventory in central Sunny Isles and generally sit at the entry into the trophy strip on a per-square-foot basis. For buyers who want direct oceanfront on Collins without the newer-construction premium of the 2015-plus boutique tier, this is the pool to look at.

Which Building Suits Which Buyer

Buyer 1: Preconstruction Trophy Shopper. Bentley Residences or the St. Regis Residences. Both target 2028-2029 delivery. Bentley is the taller, thinner, in-unit-garage tower for the car-collector buyer; St. Regis is the twin-tower branded-service play for the buyer who wants Ritz-Carlton-level programming at a higher unit count than the Ritz building next door.

Buyer 2: Automotive-Enthusiast Buyer. Porsche Design Tower at completion (2017 stock) or Bentley Residences at delivery (2028 target). These are the only two U.S. residential towers with a working Dezervator car-elevator system, both delivered by Dezer Development.

Buyer 3: Full-Floor Boutique Living. Regalia (one 4-bedroom per floor since 2014) or Muse Residences (one flow-through per floor since 2018). Both are boutique-count towers under 70 residences that put a single home on each floor of the residential stack.

Buyer 4: Five-Star Branded Service. Ritz-Carlton Residences today (delivered 2020), St. Regis Residences at completion, or Acqualina (Forbes Five-Star since delivery). All three deliver programmed hotel-level service from a named operator rather than a self-managed HOA amenity program.

Buyer 5: Herzog & de Meuron / Pelli / Zapata Architecture Signature. Jade Signature (Pritzker firm Herzog & de Meuron), Armani/Casa Residences (Pritzker laureate Cesar Pelli / Pelli Clarke Pelli), or Turnberry Ocean Club (Carlos Zapata's cantilevered massing).

Buyer 6: Estate-Scale Floor Plates. The Mansions at Acqualina (up to 16,000-sf full-floor estates) or The Estates at Acqualina (Karl Lagerfeld south-tower lobby, penthouse trades north of $40 million). Both program the Acqualina campus service standard.

Buyer 7: Entry Into the Sunny Isles Trophy Strip. Trump Palace, Trump Royale, or one of the three Trump Tower I / II / III buildings. These are the deepest resale pool on the strip and generally sit at the entry per-square-foot for direct oceanfront on Collins.

FAQ

What is the tallest condo building in Sunny Isles Beach? At completion in 2028, Bentley Residences will rise to 749 feet across 63 stories, making it the tallest residential building on the strip. Today, Turnberry Ocean Club and Armani/Casa are among the tallest completed towers at roughly 649 feet each, with Porsche Design Tower at 641 feet across 60 stories.

Which Sunny Isles Beach buildings have a car elevator? Two: Porsche Design Tower (completed January 2017) and Bentley Residences (under construction, target 2028). Both were delivered by Dezer Development using the patented Dezervator vehicular elevator system that lifts owners and their vehicles from a ground-floor entry directly into a private sky garage adjacent to each residence.

Who designed Jade Signature? Jade Signature at 16901 Collins was designed by Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron -- Pritzker Prize laureates and the firm behind the Tate Modern and Beijing's National Stadium -- in what was their first residential project in Florida. The building was developed by Fortune International Group and completed in 2018, with interiors by Pierre-Yves Rochon of Paris and landscape by Raymond Jungles of Miami.

What is the difference between Acqualina, Mansions at Acqualina, and Estates at Acqualina? All three sit on the same Acqualina campus and were developed by The Trump Group (Eddie and Jules Trump, no relation to the former U.S. president). Acqualina Resort & Residences (2006) is the original 51-story Forbes Five-Star condo-hotel with 188 condo units plus 98 hotel keys. The Mansions at Acqualina (2015) is a 79-unit boutique tower next door with 4,557-sf to 16,000-sf full-floor estates. The Estates at Acqualina (2022-2023) is a two-tower Arquitectonica project with 248 combined residences and a south-tower lobby designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld.

Which Sunny Isles Beach buildings are preconstruction as of 2026? Two: Bentley Residences at 18401 Collins (Dezer Development, target 2028 delivery) and the St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles at 18801 Collins (Fortune International and Chateau Group, target Q4 2028 for the south tower and Q4 2029 for the north tower).

What is the smallest number of residences in a Sunny Isles trophy tower? Regalia at 19575 Collins has 39 residences across a 46-story tower in a one-residence-per-floor format. That is the lowest unit count in the modern Sunny Isles trophy tier. Muse Residences (68) and Mansions at Acqualina (79) are the next smallest.

Who are the main developers on the Sunny Isles trophy strip? Four names dominate. Dezer Development (Gil Dezer) is behind Porsche Design Tower, Bentley Residences, and the Trump-branded towers in partnership with The Related Group and the Trump Organization. The Trump Group (Eddie and Jules Trump) is behind Acqualina, Mansions at Acqualina, and Estates at Acqualina. Fortune International Group (Edgardo Defortuna) is behind Jade Beach, Jade Ocean, Jade Signature, the Ritz-Carlton Residences, and the St. Regis Residences (the latter two co-developed with Chateau Group). The Related Group partnered on Trump Tower I and Trump Tower III and on Armani/Casa Residences.

Are there any Pritzker Prize architects on Sunny Isles Beach? Two. Jade Signature was designed by Herzog & de Meuron (Pritzker Prize 2001) as the firm's first Florida residential project. Armani/Casa Residences was designed by Cesar Pelli of Pelli Clarke Pelli (Pelli was awarded the AIA Gold Medal in 1995 and is a Pritzker jury alumnus; while his firm has not received the Pritzker itself, Pelli is one of the most decorated late-20th-century American architects).

How To Use This Guide

Start with the era question -- new-build preconstruction (Bentley, St. Regis), 2020s branded (Porsche, Armani/Casa, Ritz), 2010s ultra-luxury boutique (Regalia, Muse, Chateau Beach, Mansions, Jade Signature), 2010s Jade family (Jade Beach, Jade Ocean), original ultra-luxury (Acqualina), or Trump-era 2000s (Palace, Royale, Trump Tower I/II/III). Then narrow within the era by floor plan, exposure, and per-square-foot budget.

We track resale activity, HOA changes, and recent comps across every trophy tower on Collins. If you want a custom comp set for a specific Sunny Isles building or floor plan, reach out.
