Shop By Building

Miami's Branded Residences

In Miami's luxury condo market, the building is the product. Buyers cross-shop towers as much as floor plans, because the brand, the architecture, the amenities, and the service culture vary dramatically from one address to the next. Nowhere is this more true than Sunny Isles Beach, the branded-residence capital of the country, where names like Porsche Design, Armani/Casa, and Bentley put their stamp on the oceanfront.

These building guides break down each tower the way a serious buyer needs: what makes it distinctive, the floor plans and residences, the amenities, and the practical realities of buying and owning there. Start with the signature Sunny Isles towers below, with more buildings being added over time.

For Buyers

What To Check Before You Buy By Building

Two residences of the same size in the same building can be very different investments, and two buildings that look similar can be worlds apart. Before you commit, look past the view at:

  • HOA and maintenance fees. Full-service oceanfront buildings carry meaningful monthly costs. Know the number and what it covers.
  • Lease and short-term-rental rules. Minimum lease terms and rental caps vary widely and directly affect flexibility and investment potential.
  • Reserves and inspection status. Since Florida's post-2021 condo-safety laws, a building's reserve funding and milestone-inspection status are first-line due diligence, especially for older towers.
  • The right line and floor. Exposure, ceiling height, and floor level move value as much as square footage. Recent sold comps in the exact line tell the real story.

This is exactly the kind of building-specific detail Jonathan walks buyers through before they tour, so you spend time only on the residences that actually fit.

Common Questions

Miami Condo Buildings FAQ

What is a branded residence?

A branded residence is a condominium developed in partnership with a luxury brand or designer, such as Porsche Design, Armani/Casa, or Bentley, where the brand shapes the architecture, interiors, amenities, and service. Sunny Isles Beach is the branded-residence capital of Miami.

Which Miami condo building has a car elevator?

Porsche Design Tower at 18555 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach is famous for its patented Dezervator car elevator, which delivers residents and their vehicles to private sky garages next to their homes. Bentley Residences is bringing the same concept to a newer tower nearby.

What should I check before buying a Miami luxury condo?

Beyond price and view, review the building's HOA and maintenance fees, its lease and short-term-rental rules, its reserves and inspection status under Florida's post-2021 condo laws, and recent sold comps in the specific line and floor you are considering.
