Oceanfront ultra-luxury — "Little Moscow" with worldwide cachet.
About Sunny Isles Beach
Sunny Isles Beach is a narrow 2.4-mile strip of oceanfront real estate between Haulover Cut and Golden Beach, packed with some of South Florida's most iconic luxury condominium towers: Porsche Design Tower, Trump International, Jade Signature, Armani Casa, and Chateau Ocean Club among them.
The city is famously international — nicknamed "Little Moscow" for its sizable Russian population, though it's equally home to Latin American, European, and Israeli owners. English, Spanish, Russian, and Hebrew signage is common.
Price per square foot ranks among Florida's highest. Units in trophy towers routinely exceed $2,000-$4,000/sqft. Amenities are spectacular: private beach clubs, Michelin-caliber restaurants, car elevators (at Porsche Design), sunrise yoga decks, resort pools. This is second-home and investment territory for international buyers, with rental markets often tied to condo-hotel arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sunny Isles Beach
Why is Sunny Isles called "Little Moscow"?+
