The Note
30 August 2026

This is the reference note. It is the building described plainly, from the ground up, with the figures we can attribute to the developer's published material and the public record, given in ranges where sources differ. The desk at Miami Dossier keeps it current as the release changes. A companion note on the practical decisions is linked at the end.

The city

Sunny Isles Beach is a city of its own on the barrier island north of Bal Harbour and Haulover Inlet, with the ocean on the east and the Intracoastal on the west. Its skyline is the tallest oceanfront row in South Florida and the densest concentration of branded towers in the country, with Aventura Mall and the marinas across the water and Bal Harbour Shops a few minutes south.

The site

18801 Collins Avenue, roughly 4.7 acres on the ocean with roughly 435 linear feet of beach. The South Tower at 18801 and the North Tower at 18805.

The two towers

Two towers of 62 storeys and roughly 750 feet by Arquitectonica, curvilinear in reference to yacht design, both residential only. Coastal Construction as general contractor. South Tower mat foundation poured July 24 to 26, 2026; North Tower groundbreaking scheduled for late 2026.

The amenities and the service

More than 70,000 square feet, per the developer, conceived as a private residential resort: pools, a beach bar and grill with beach service and in-residence dining, a spa and wellness programme, a business club with the John Jacob Astor boardroom, private offices, a conference room, co-working and a traders' room, and an infinity pool in the North Tower described as the longest in South Florida.

Where these facts come from

This note is compiled from the developer's published material for The St. Regis Residences, Sunny Isles Beach, the public construction record and the reporting around it, cross-referenced so that no figure rests on a single source. Where sources differ the note gives a range rather than a number. The desk at Miami Dossier obtains the current floor plans, release and deposit schedule directly on request and reads them with buyers; anything material should be confirmed against the developer's own documents. We do not represent the developer and we hold no position in the building.

The questions around the building

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about The St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach are not only choosing a building. They are moving to Miami from New York, California, London, Bogotá, Mexico City or São Paulo, or adding a Miami position to a portfolio held elsewhere, and the building question sits inside a larger one: how to buy new construction in Miami, how to hold it, and what changes when you do.

The desk keeps short notes on the parts that come up every week: how buying preconstruction in Miami actually works, what a normal deposit schedule looks like, whether you need to be in Miami to buy, whether a foreign buyer can get a mortgage, what taxes a foreign buyer pays on a Miami condo, and the Florida state income tax question for anyone relocating from a high-tax state. For buyers arriving from a specific market there are notes for Bogotá, Mexico City and London, and a broader one on why so many wealthy families are moving to Miami.

Read the ones that apply, then bring the rest to the desk at Miami Dossier. It usually takes one conversation to see how The St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.

A Note on Advice

This note is general information for people considering Miami, written by a real estate desk, not by a law or accounting firm. Nothing here is legal, tax, immigration or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own circumstances. Rules change, treaties differ by country, and the right answer for one family is the wrong answer for another.

Speak with your own attorney and CPA before you commit to anything. If you do not have one who works with international buyers in Florida, the desk is glad to recommend an attorney, a CPA or an adviser suited to your situation, and to sit in the first conversation so that nothing is lost in translation.

The Desk

Everything in this note has a solution.

Structure, financing, currency, timing, the right building and the right line: the desk works through these questions with international buyers every week, and the answer is nearly always that it can be done, in order, without surprises. If Miami is on your mind, as a home or as an allocation, we would be glad to share what we are seeing, privately, and to start with the question this note did not answer.

Compared With

Where The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach sits against the rest

Nobody chooses The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach in isolation. The desk at Miami Dossier weighs it against Rivage Bal Harbour, against Bentley Residences and against The St Regis Residences Miami, Brickell, and sets it beside every other building in Sunny Isles Beach on the Sunny Isles Beach cluster. If the question underneath yours is really which line rather than which building, start there instead.
