The 5 Best Condos in Sunny Isles Beach 2026 (And 3 to Avoid)

1. Best Resale Under $3M: Parque Towers

For buyers in the $1M to $3M range, most of Sunny Isles’ inventory is pre-2010 product with aging infrastructure and HOA exposure that compounds over time. Parque Towers is the exception. Built in 2019, intracoastal-facing, and a five-minute walk to the beach, it leads its tier by every metric that matters at resale.

At around $823 per square foot with an HOA of just $0.87 per square foot, the cost of ownership is meaningfully lower than comparable buildings. Ten closings over the past year at a sale-to-list ratio of 93.1% and an average of 104 days on market — roughly 150 days faster than the neighborhood average — tells you the building moves when it is priced correctly. Sales ranged from $1.05M to $4.7M across its 320 units.

Where to buy within the building: east-facing floors 25 and above in the East Tower’s 01 and 02 lines, or the West Tower’s 07 and 08, for the best intracoastal and partial ocean views. West-facing upper floors deliver strong sunset exposure at a discount. Below floor 10 on the odd lines in both towers, the views compress and the data confirms it — those units sit the longest.

The honest flaw is straightforward: Parque is one block from the ocean, not on it. For buyers who need oceanfront at this price point, Trump Tower III currently leads on liquidity with 18 closings and 8.7 months of supply. For everyone else, Parque is the sharper buy. With 41 active listings, sellers who price ahead of the crowd move. Those who don’t are the ones sitting.

2. Best Resale $3M–$5M: Ritz-Carlton Residences Sunny Isles Beach

In the $3M to $5M corridor, nothing in Sunny Isles moves like the Ritz-Carlton Residences. Seven closings at this price point — the highest volume of any competing building — against just 10 active listings puts the supply ratio at 10.9 months, the tightest in the corridor. When a building this exclusive is also this liquid, that is worth paying attention to.

Built in 2020 and purely residential, it delivers five-star hotelier services and amenities without the hotel component — no transient guests, no rental programs, no dilution of the ownership experience. In a corridor where most buildings compete on price, this one competes on scarcity, and the numbers reflect it. Eleven closed sales ranging from $2.9M to $7M, averaging $2,100 per square foot — 79% above the neighborhood average — with sellers closing within 6% of ask at a 94.4% sale-to-list ratio. Average days on market runs 201, but that is the nature of the product, not a signal of weakness.

Within the building, the 05 lines on floors 15 and above offer the most unobstructed southeast views in Sunny Isles with the strongest layouts. The 01 lines from floor 25 up deliver direct oceanfront with northeast exposure — the building’s benchmark resale units. The 03 lines below floor 20 are worth avoiding; the view corridor does not open until the upper floors, and the data shows it.

The honest flaw is the HOA. On a 2020-built full-service building of this caliber, it is material and needs to be factored into the true cost of ownership. The other thing to watch: Acqualina North Tower resales will introduce incremental competition as that building seasons. For now, the Ritz-Carlton is running ahead of the field.

3. Best Resale $5M–$10M: Turnberry Ocean Club

In the $5M to $10M tier, no building in Sunny Isles closes with more pricing discipline than this one. Ten sales in 12 months, every single closing landing within that range, at a 95.9% sale-to-list ratio — the highest of any building at this price point. Sellers are achieving near-ask because the product has no direct competition.

Built in 2020 with only 154 units across four lines, the floor-through layouts deliver east oceanfront and west intracoastal sunset exposure in the same residence. For buyers who want scale, a handful of combination units run from 6,000 to 10,000 square feet. At an average of $1,880 per square foot, sales have ranged from $5M to $7.7M with an average of 247 days on market — a reflection of the price point, not the demand.

Line selection here is not optional, it is the decision. The 04 lines on higher floors currently hold the best direct southeast oceanfront views, expanding to include intracoastal exposure — but the Bentley new construction will compress those views over time, particularly on lower floors, and that needs to be priced in now. The 01 lines carry a north-facing obstruction from Porsche Tower, though the frontal views remain strong. The 02 and 03 lines on floors 25 to 40 offer the strongest value-to-view ratio by eliminating side obstructions. Below that on the 02 and 03 lines, west-facing toward Collins, the data is consistent — these units underperform at resale.

The honest tension is the inventory: 14 active listings against 10 annual closings at a 16.8-month supply ratio. Sellers who price aspirationally will not transact. The ones who price to the comps do. At the upper end of this tier, Estates at Acqualina South Tower resales will introduce pricing competition as more units trade. For buyers drawn to resort-style amenities at scale, Acqualina holds the edge. For those who value a more refined and boutique experience, this building is the clearest recommendation in the corridor.

5. Best New Development: St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach

The most architecturally differentiated preconstruction offering on the Sunny Isles coastline, and the one that requires the clearest-eyed buyer to execute it well.

Developed by Fortune International and Chateau Group with a 2029 delivery, the St. Regis will redefine what five-star hotel-branded living looks like on this stretch of beach. The floorplans are wider than anything built in Sunny Isles in the past decade, and the combination unit flexibility — vertical, horizontal, or both — is something no other developer in this corridor has offered. Preconstruction pricing runs $2,800 to $3,000 per square foot and above, benchmarked against Estates at Acqualina resales averaging $2,450 per square foot but transacting at $2,800 at top dollar. The spread has compressed since 2022, which closes the arbitrage window that early Estates buyers benefited from. That is not a reason to walk away — it is a reason to understand what you are actually buying.

The St. Regis flag travels. Butler service, hotel-level programming, and brand recognition that follows a resale buyer internationally — that is not something a standalone residential tower can manufacture or retrofit. Buyers who purchased at the Estates at delivery in 2022 and 2023 have seen values hold through a complicated market cycle. The St. Regis buyer is making a comparable bet on the next delivery cycle, which means underwriting to a 2029 exit at or above current Estates pricing with 36 to 40 months of carry modeled in.

This is not a flip. It is a long position on a branded product in a supply-constrained submarket, and it is best suited for the buyer with no urgency around timeline who wants exposure to 2029 market conditions before the cycle peaks. The honest risks are two: three years of carry and construction timeline exposure. Both are knowable. Price them in and the thesis holds.

3 Sunny Isles Condos We Would Not Buy Right Now

Most agents will not say this out loud. We will. The buildings below are not value plays waiting to be unlocked. They are not hidden opportunities for the patient buyer. They are buildings with structural problems that show up clearly in the data, and those problems are not going away on any timeline a buyer today should be comfortable with.

Oceania I through V is five buildings carrying some of the highest active inventory in the entire corridor. Asking prices have declined year-over-year across all five towers, and the HOA assessments tied to ongoing milestone inspections represent a liability that is not yet fully quantified. That last part is the problem. When you cannot underwrite the number, you cannot underwrite the investment.

Ocean Towers 1 through 4 tells a similar story. Pre-2000 vintage, elevated days on market across the board, and SIRS reserve requirements that are not theoretical anymore — several units are already priced to reflect known special assessment exposure. That discount is not value. It is the market pricing in risk.

Pinnacle and Millennium are both trading at significant discounts to the neighborhood average, with limited liquidity and days-on-market data that reflects extended hold periods. The SP/LP ratios here do not signal seller strength. They signal buyer leverage, and that dynamic does not reverse until the fundamentals do.

Poinciana Island and Sands Pointe are older vintage with structural review timelines still unresolved. The discount to market is real. So is the exposure. These are not buildings to walk away from based on price alone — they are buildings where the reserve status and inspection timeline need to be fully underwritten before any offer is made. Most buyers do not know how to do that, and most agents are not going to tell them to.

If someone is showing you any of these as options, ask one question: what are the current months of supply and what does the reserve study show. The answer will tell you what you need to know.

The Right Move From Here

The Sunny Isles market in 2026 rewards one thing above everything else: knowing which side of the split you are on before you transact. The buildings on this list are not here because they are the most marketed or the most familiar. They are here because the closed-sale data says so — 250 transactions that tell a cleaner story than any asking price or broker brochure.

If you are buying, the window in this market is real but it is not unlimited. Supply is elevated, sellers are negotiating, and the right unit in the right building at the right price is genuinely available right now. That combination does not persist indefinitely. When sentiment shifts — and in a cash-dominant, globally-driven market like this one, it shifts faster than the data can track — the window closes.

If you are selling, the same data that identifies the best buys also tells you exactly where your unit sits relative to the competition. With 22 months of overall supply, pricing strategy is not a detail. It is the entire outcome.

The difference between a transaction that closes well and one that does not — whether you are buying or selling — comes down to knowing the comps that never made the headlines, the lines that hold value through cycles, and the buildings that look like opportunities but are not. That is the work we do before every conversation, not during it.
