The 5 Most Luxurious Condos in Sunny Isles Beach, Ranked by Price Per Square Foot

In barely two decades, Sunny Isles Beach has gone from a strip of mid-century motels to one of the most concentrated corridors of branded, ultra-luxury oceanfront towers anywhere in the United States. The names alone tell the story: Porsche, Bentley, Armani, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Turnberry. Wedged between Aventura to the west and Bal Harbour and Surfside to the south, this narrow barrier-island city has become the address of choice for international buyers who want a full-floor home in the sky, a private slice of Atlantic beachfront, and an amenity program that rivals a five-star resort.

This guide ranks the most luxurious condos in Sunny Isles Beach by average list price per square foot — pulled from our own live building data at the time of publishing — and gives our read on each: the architecture, the developer, the floor plans, the amenities that actually justify the premium, and the buyer each one fits. We close with the pre-construction pipeline reshaping the skyline and a quick take on dining and shopping nearby.

Why Choose Sunny Isles Beach?

Sunny Isles is its own city in Miami-Dade, and its geography defines the market. The island is narrow, linear, and intensely oceanfront, which means the premier inventory sits within a short walk of the Atlantic and ocean views aren't a premium so much as an expectation. Social life revolves around the beach — the oceanfront promenade, private beach clubs, resort lounges, and waterfront dining.

It is also the most international corner of the Miami-Dade luxury market, drawing a deep bench of buyers from Latin America, Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. That global demand is part of why so many of the world's biggest design and hospitality brands chose Sunny Isles to plant their first U.S. branded residences.

Practically, the location is hard to beat for a beach city. Walk Score sits around 75, and you're a short drive from two of the most important shopping destinations in the country: Aventura Mall, one of the largest malls in the U.S. with 300-plus stores, and the Bal Harbour Shops, the rarefied home of Chanel, Gucci, and Prada.

5. Residences by Armani/Casa — The Fashion-House Flagship

Residences by Armani/Casa is one of the most recognizable branded towers on the Sunny Isles skyline — a 56-story, 649-foot oceanfront tower at 18975 Collins Avenue, completed in the fourth quarter of 2019. It pairs two of the biggest names in their fields: the late César Pelli (Pelli Clarke Pelli, the architect behind the Petronas Towers) designed the building and its floor plans, while Giorgio Armani, through his Armani/Casa interior studio, designed the residences, common spaces, and amenity interiors.

The building holds 308 residences spanning two- to five-bedroom layouts that range from roughly 1,358 to 6,138 interior square feet, with flow-through and corner configurations capturing the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the city skyline. The Armani signature is in the details — restrained palettes, custom millwork, and a curated material language carried from the lobby through to the private residences.

The amenity program is built for resort-style living: a two-story spa with indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, a beauty salon, his-and-hers sauna and steam rooms, a movie theater, a state-of-the-art oceanfront fitness center, a yoga and Pilates studio, a games room, a children's playroom, a cigar room, a temperature- and humidity-controlled wine cellar, and a private oceanfront restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. An oceanfront pool terrace with a heated pool, hot tub, and food-and-beverage service anchors the beach level, backed by 24-hour concierge and valet.

Co-developed by Dezer Development and the Related Group, Armani/Casa carries the deepest active inventory of any building on this list, which makes it the most accessible entry point into Sunny Isles' branded-residence tier — the reason it remains one of the neighborhood's most-searched luxury addresses.

Best for: buyers who want a globally recognized fashion-branded residence with a deep amenity stack and the widest selection of available floor plans in the trophy tier.

4. The Ritz-Carlton Residences — Hotel-Branded Service Without the Hotel

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sunny Isles Beach brings one of the most trusted names in luxury hospitality to the oceanfront — a 52-story, roughly 212-residence tower at 15701 Collins Avenue, completed in 2020. Unlike a hotel-condo, this is a residential-only building that layers full Ritz-Carlton branded service onto private ownership, which is precisely the value proposition for buyers who want five-star staffing without a transient hotel operation in the lobby.

The tower was designed by Miami's Arquitectonica, with interiors by the celebrated Italian architect and designer Michele Bonan — known for a warm, classically European sensibility that reads as more residential and less corporate than much of the glass-box competition along Collins Avenue. Residences feature floor-to-ceiling glass, private elevator access, expansive terraces, and the open, light-filled flow-through layouts the neighborhood is known for.

The Ritz-Carlton service model is the headline amenity. Owners get the brand's signature concierge and lifestyle staffing, complemented by a private beach club with dedicated service, an oceanfront pool, a spa and wellness suite, a fitness center, a residents' lounge and dining facilities, and the kind of anticipatory hospitality the Ritz-Carlton name is built on. The development was a collaboration between Fortune International Group and Château Group, two of the most active luxury developers in Sunny Isles.

Because the building trades below the new-construction trophy towers per foot while still offering branded service and a relatively boutique residence count, it occupies a sweet spot for buyers who weight service and brand reliability over headline architecture.

Best for: buyers who want dependable, name-brand five-star service and a residential-only address — the hospitality experience without sharing the building with a hotel.

3. The Estates at Acqualina — The Amenity Arms Race, Won

If any building defines Sunny Isles' amenity arms race, it's The Estates at Acqualina — a twin-tower, roughly 232-residence development on a 5.6-acre site with 502 feet of private beach at 17901 Collins Avenue. The two 50-story towers, 777 Via Acqualina (completed 2022) and 888 Via Acqualina (completed 2023), were developed by The Trump Group — the Florida-based developers Jules and Eddie Trump, who are unrelated to the Trump Organization, an important distinction many buyers ask about.

The floor plans are unusually generous even by Sunny Isles standards. The 777 tower holds 91 half- and full-floor residences from roughly 4,505 to 5,146 square feet, topped by a single-family mansion in the sky and a two-story, 15,332-square-foot penthouse estate with private leisure pools. The 888 tower offers 173 flow-through residences from roughly 2,897 to 3,672 square feet, with four homes per floor. The residential lobby spaces were designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld — among his only residential interior commissions.

The amenity centerpiece is Villa Acqualina, a 45,000-square-foot dedicated amenity building. Its "Circus Maximus" floor is genuinely without peer in the market: a Formula 1 simulator, an ice-skating rink with a hand-painted ocean mural, four bowling lanes, a golf simulator, a movie theater, a billiards room, and a Wall Street trader's clubroom. Outside, the development fields six pools — including a FlowRider surf simulator and a kids' pool with water slides — plus a soccer field, bocce court, dog park, basketball and volleyball courts, a running path, and a 10,000-square-foot five-star restaurant.

Best for: buyers who want the single deepest, most over-the-top amenity program in Sunny Isles and oversized half- or full-floor residences for multi-generational or resort-style living.

2. Turnberry Ocean Club — The Sky Club in the Sky

Turnberry Ocean Club is the boldest piece of architecture on the Sunny Isles oceanfront — a sculptural 54-story glass tower at 18501 Collins Avenue, completed in 2020 and designed by the acclaimed architect Carlos Zapata. Developed by Fontainebleau Development (the Soffer family, of Fontainebleau and Turnberry fame), it holds just 154 flow-through residences, each running the full depth of the tower for simultaneous ocean and Intracoastal views.

The residences are large and light: three- to six-bedroom layouts with 10-foot ceilings, with certain duplex "collection" residences soaring to 20-foot living-room and balcony ceilings. Floor-to-ceiling glass and deep, wraparound terraces are standard, and the flow-through design means every home captures sunrise over the Atlantic and sunset over the bay.

The signature is the Sky Club — a roughly 70,000-square-foot, three-level private amenity complex set hundreds of feet in the air, spread across six floors of the tower and reported to have cost in the neighborhood of $100 million to build for only 154 residences. The centerpiece is a pair of infinity-edge pools that cantilever roughly 300 feet out over the beach, joined by a Hammam spa, massage rooms, a wine room, private dining, fitness and locker facilities, a relaxation room, and a library. At the beach level, residents get a private oceanfront club, additional pools, and direct sand access.

That combination — a singular architectural silhouette, full-floor flow-through homes, and a sky-high amenity deck shared by only 154 owners — keeps Turnberry Ocean Club near the very top of the Sunny Isles market and gives it one of the deepest pools of genuine luxury resale inventory on the island.

Best for: buyers who want statement architecture, full flow-through floor plans, and the most dramatic sky-amenity experience in Sunny Isles.

1. Regalia — 39 Full-Floor Homes, and the Top of the Market

At the very top of the per-foot ranking sits Regalia — and it earns the spot through sheer scarcity. The 46-story tower at 19505 Collins Avenue, completed in 2014, contains just 39 residences: one full-floor home per floor. Designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica, the building's softly twisting, wave-like form was conceived to look shaped by wind and water, and its defining feature is the 360-degree wraparound glass terrace that wraps every residence — outdoor living space generous enough to function as a second floor plan.

Each full-floor home spans roughly 5,500-plus interior square feet with private elevator access opening directly into the residence, floor-to-ceiling glass on every exposure, and interiors by designer Charles Allem, whose layered material palette — hand-stitched leather wall panels, bespoke rugs, stone, crystal, and wood — set the tone for the building's understated, collector-grade sensibility. There are no shared corridors and no neighbors on your floor; the experience is closer to a single-family estate stacked vertically over the Atlantic.

The crown is the multi-floor penthouse spanning the 43rd through 46th floors — roughly 10,915 interior square feet with nine bedrooms, plus about 8,700 square feet of exterior space, a private rooftop pool, sun deck, and personal spa. It has been listed at $39 million, among the highest-priced penthouses in Miami-Dade. Regalia was named Best High-Rise Residential Development in the Americas at the International Property Awards for 2014–2015, and a decade on it remains the per-square-foot benchmark for the entire Sunny Isles oceanfront.

Active inventory is, by design, extremely limited — with only 39 homes in the building, a Regalia residence rarely comes to market, which is exactly what keeps its per-foot pricing at the top of this list.

Best for: buyers who want the privacy and scale of a full-floor home — no shared hallways, no neighbors on your floor — and the single most exclusive per-foot address in Sunny Isles.

What's Next: The Sunny Isles Pre-Construction Pipeline

Sunny Isles isn't done climbing. Two pre-construction towers are set to reset the top of the market again:

• St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach — a two-tower, roughly 340-residence project at 18801 Collins Avenue, with both 62-story towers rising about 750 feet, designed by Arquitectonica and developed by Fortune International Group and Château Group (the Ritz-Carlton Residences team). It will bring the St. Regis brand to the oceanfront as a residential-only address, reportedly with the longest infinity pool in South Florida, with delivery targeted for the 2028–2029 window.
• Bentley Residences — Bentley Motors' first branded residence, developed by Dezer Development with Sieger Suarez, a cylindrical 61-to-62-story, 749-foot tower that will be the tallest residential building on any U.S. beachfront. Its headline feature is the patented "Dezervator" car elevator: residents drive in, and the lift carries the car — and its passengers — directly up to a private three- or four-car in-unit garage, as high as the 61st floor. The roughly 216 residences are slated for delivery around 2027–2028.

Both target the same buyer who tops out the delivered market today — and both are worth tracking if you're weighing a new-construction contract against a resale in one of the five buildings above.

Eating & Shopping Near Sunny Isles

The island is compact, and the best of South Florida retail and dining is a short drive in either direction:

• Aventura Mall — one of the largest malls in the U.S., 300-plus stores and 50-plus dining venues, minutes west across the Intracoastal
• Bal Harbour Shops — the rarefied luxury-retail destination (Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Saint Laurent), a roughly 10-minute drive south
• Oceanfront dining & resort lounges — much of the neighborhood's social life centers on the hotel restaurants and beachfront clubs along Collins Avenue
• The beach itself — a wide, walkable stretch of Atlantic sand with an oceanfront promenade running the length of the city

The Bottom Line

Sunny Isles rewards buyers who want a full-floor home over the Atlantic, a private beach, and resort-grade amenities behind the security of a branded high-rise. Each building at the top of the market makes a different case:

• Regalia for full-floor scarcity and the highest per-foot exclusivity
• Turnberry Ocean Club for statement architecture and the most dramatic sky-amenity deck
• The Estates at Acqualina for the deepest amenity program and oversized residences
• The Ritz-Carlton Residences for dependable five-star branded service
• Residences by Armani/Casa for fashion-house design and the widest selection of available homes
