Pre-construction in Sunny Isles is really a bet on delivery, and I spend my weeks making sure buyers judge the developer before they fall for the renderings. Pricing in this neighborhood spans a wide range: entry-tier luxury units at the lower end up to branded oceanfront product at the top, so the tier you target matters far more than any single headline median. For buyers targeting this neighborhood, the key decision is resale versus pre-construction. Resale offers immediate occupancy and known HOA structure. Pre-construction offers the HB 913 10-year reserve exemption plus a contract-to-delivery appreciation window. Before I let a buyer sign here I check the developer's track record on their last completed tower, because who is building it predicts timing and resale more than the brochure does. The advice I repeat most in this market is to map the full deposit ladder and a realistic delivery date up front, since that is where pre-construction buyers get surprised. Request a private neighborhood tour and I will pull the current comp set for every building you want to see. For context on the full Miami market, see Miami pre-construction buyer guide.
Sunny Isles pre-construction represent one of the most focused corners of Miami luxury real estate in 2026. Price range $2M-$50M. HOA typical $2.50-$5.00/sqft projected. Why this category matters: Oceanfront pre-construction with 2027-2028 deliveries. This page walks through current inventory, pricing dynamics, and who should buy here.
Current Market (Q2 2026)
Sunny Isles reads as a buyer's market on paper: 1,188 active listings city-wide and a 106-day median time on market, per realtor.com August 2026 data. That slack sits in the resale stock, not in the sales gallery. The city-wide median list price of $749,250, roughly $571 per square foot, covers the whole city across every property type, so it says nothing about what a new oceanfront tower costs. Pre-construction here runs $2M to $50M, with The St. Regis Residences from $5M and Bentley Residences from $5.8M. What I tell buyers: those 106 days are your future exit timeline, not leverage on a developer contract today.

Key Takeaways
- City-wide, Sunny Isles Beach carries a median listing price of $749,250 at about $571 per square foot, down 5.9 percent year over year, per realtor.com August 2026 data. That figure covers every older Winston Towers and Arlen House unit in the city, so it sits far below the oceanfront tier this page is about.
- Oceanfront pre-construction here runs $2M to $50M, with The St. Regis Residences from $5M and Bentley Residences from $5.8M, both estimated for 2028. What you are paying for is direct ocean frontage on a narrow barrier strip, not amenity count.
- The city is a buyer's market: 1,188 active listings, a 106-day median time on market, and homes closing at 94 percent of asking price in August 2026. Resale gives you that negotiating room; a developer contract does not.
- The core decision is resale versus pre-construction. Existing oceanfront stock trades today at roughly $1,350 to $1,465 per square foot at Jade Beach and Jade Ocean, while pre-construction costs more per foot but delivers the HB 913 10-year reserve structure and a developer warranty.
- Plan for all-in carrying cost of roughly 0.6 to 1.0 percent of purchase price per year (HOA, insurance, tax, utilities), and note oceanfront insurance sits at the top of that band.

"On a 2028 delivery like Bentley Residences, the developer's track record is the underwriting. I vet who is building before I look at a single floor plan, because between contract and closing the only thing you really hold is that developer's ability to finish what they started."Gerardo Gonzalez, Licensed Real Estate Agent at Compass
