Every few years, a building arrives in the Miami luxury pre-construction market that the entire industry pauses to evaluate — not because of novelty or spectacle, but because of the weight of the name on the facade. The St. Regis brand carried that weight at 1809 Brickell Avenue when Related Group launched St. Regis Residences Brickell. It carries the same weight — amplified by an oceanfront site, two towers instead of one, and 70,000 square feet of amenities — at 18801 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach.
St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach is the most anticipated new luxury development on the Collins Avenue oceanfront corridor since Bentley Residences broke ground in 2022. The $418 million construction financing has been secured. South Tower groundbreaking completed in August 2024. North Tower groundbreaking scheduled for 2026. South Tower delivery targeting Q4 2028. North Tower targeting Q4 2029.
For buyers who have been tracking this building since its launch — or who are evaluating the Sunny Isles Beach pre-construction market for the first time — this is the complete guide.
What Is St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach?
St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach is a two-tower, 62-story oceanfront condominium development at 18801 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, developed by Fortune International Group and Château Group — two of South Florida’s most respected luxury development organizations — in partnership with Marriott International’s St. Regis brand under a license agreement.
Architecture is by Arquitectonica — Miami’s most accomplished high-rise architectural firm — with interior design by Paris-based Anastassiadis, one of the most celebrated design studios working in luxury residential interiors globally, and landscape design by EDSA. The towers’ sleek, curvilinear form — described by the design team as inspired by the finest in yacht design — introduces a profile to the Sunny Isles Beach skyline that is distinctly different from the rectilinear glass boxes that define most of the Collins Avenue corridor.
The development contains approximately 340 residences across two towers — roughly 170 per tower — sitting on 4.7 acres with 435 linear feet of oceanfront. The South Tower is currently under construction, with the North Tower groundbreaking scheduled for 2026. South Tower delivery targets Q4 2028; North Tower targets Q4 2029.
The building is residences-only — there is no hotel component and no transient use of any kind. Every resident in the building is an owner or their personal guest. The St. Regis brand’s butler service, five-star amenity programming, and global lifestyle infrastructure are applied exclusively to residential owners — not shared with hotel guests who have no ongoing ownership stake in the property.
The St. Regis Brand at Sunny Isles: What It Means in Practice
The St. Regis brand brings a specific operational promise to its Sunny Isles residential address — one that is worth understanding in concrete terms rather than in the abstract language of marketing materials.
The St. Regis Hotel Company — a Marriott International brand — is the same organization that operates St. Regis Residences Brickell at 1809 Brickell Avenue. That building, nearly fully sold out and targeting Q4 2027 delivery, established the Brickell benchmark for what the St. Regis residential experience means in Miami. The Sunny Isles address is not a different interpretation of the brand. It is the same operational standards, the same butler service philosophy, and the same global brand infrastructure — applied to an oceanfront Sunny Isles Beach site rather than a South Brickell bayfront position.
The brand’s defining residential promise — the St. Regis Butler Service — means a dedicated butler team manages every aspect of residential life that the owner wants managed. Travel arrangements, dinner reservations, car service, in-residence event preparation, grocery provisioning, spa bookings — everything can be delegated to the butler team, at any hour, without the social friction of asking a building concierge for a favor. The butler knows your preferences, your schedule, and your standards. Over time, that institutional knowledge of who you are and what you expect is one of the most difficult service qualities to replicate — and it is the reason St. Regis buyers who experience it rarely choose to live without it again.
For international buyers making a Miami acquisition from abroad, the practical implication is significant: you can close on a St. Regis Sunny Isles residence from overseas, call ahead to let the butler team know you are arriving, and find your residence prepared to your specifications before you land. That operational reality — the building functioning as a managed asset rather than a maintenance burden during your absence — is worth more than any specific amenity specification.
The Two Towers: Understanding What’s Different
With two towers of approximately 170 residences each delivering eighteen months apart, the choice between South Tower and North Tower at St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach is more consequential than the typical building-versus-building comparison in the broader market.
South Tower — Under Construction, Q4 2028 Delivery
The South Tower is the first to deliver — meaning buyers who close on South Tower units have approximately 18 fewer months of pre-construction wait than North Tower buyers. The South Tower contains approximately 194 residences — some sources indicate this may be the more widely cited figure — with two, three, and four-bedroom configurations ranging from approximately 2,000 to 4,700 square feet for standard residences, expanding to 7,000 square feet and above for Sky Villas and Penthouses. Two to four units per floor, depending on the floor level.
The South Tower’s groundbreaking on August 29, 2024, means the building has over 18 months of construction progress as of Q2 2026. For buyers evaluating delivery certainty, the South Tower’s construction momentum is a meaningful differentiating factor versus the North Tower, whose groundbreaking is still scheduled for 2026.
North Tower — Groundbreaking 2026, Q4 2029 Delivery
The North Tower delivers approximately one year after the South Tower and is now actively selling its North Tower Collection. The North Tower is described as featuring the longest infinity pool in South Florida — a distinction that has generated significant buyer attention and will remain a selling point throughout the tower’s pre-construction sales phase.
With the North Tower groundbreaking scheduled for 2026, buyers entering now are purchasing approximately 3.5 years ahead of the Q4 2029 delivery — the longest pre-construction wait of any building in this guide series. For buyers whose thesis is long-term appreciation through the construction period, the North Tower’s delivery timeline provides the most runway for pre-delivery value accretion.
Pricing in the North Tower, as the newer and later-delivering tower, generally runs above South Tower pricing at equivalent floor levels — reflecting the premium buyers pay for the longest infinity pool in South Florida and the North Tower’s specific architectural positioning.
The Residences: Floor Plans and Specifications
St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach offers two to five-bedroom configurations across both towers, with fully finished and move-in ready delivery — a specification that eliminates the buildout and interior design process for buyers who want immediate occupancy upon closing.
South Tower configurations:
- Two-bedroom residences: From approximately 2,000 square feet. Entry-level positioning in the South Tower with the full St. Regis finish specification.
- Three-bedroom residences: From approximately 2,800 to 3,500 square feet. The primary configuration for full-time Sunny Isles residents and international buyers seeking a comprehensive family footprint.
- Four-bedroom residences: From approximately 3,500 to 4,700 square feet. Expanded layouts with multiple ocean-facing living spaces and expanded terrace configurations.
- Sky Villas: From approximately 7,000 square feet for the half-floor Sky Villa configurations. East and west terraces with a private pool on the east terrace, summer kitchen, indoor BBQ, and 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway.
- Penthouses: The building’s crown residences, with configurations on application and the most expansive views and terraces in either tower.
North Tower configurations:
The North Tower offers equivalent bedroom configurations to the South Tower. Two-bedroom pricing starts from $5,000,000; three-bedroom from $8,969,000; four-bedroom from $9,636,000 in the North Tower. The North Tower also includes two-bedroom-plus-den configurations from $6,150,000 and half-floor Sky Villa configurations from $15,000,000.
Standard specifications across all residences include:
- Private elevator access and dedicated service elevator for every residence — no shared corridors from the elevator to your door
- Floor-to-ceiling impact glass windows showcasing panoramic ocean and city views
- 10-foot ceilings throughout regular units — 12-foot ceilings in penthouses
- Fully finished with flooring, closets, and all specifications installed at delivery
- State-of-the-art Italian-designed kitchens by Molteni & C | Dada — one of the most acclaimed kitchen manufacturers in the world, whose work appears in Europe’s most prestigious residential projects
- Gaggenau and Miele appliance packages throughout
- Quartz countertops and wine coolers in all kitchens
- Fully integrated smart home technology throughout
- Lavish master bathrooms with high-end fixtures and finishes
- Spacious walk-in closets in every residence
- East and west terraces on Sky Villa configurations — private pool on the east terrace facing the Atlantic
- Summer kitchen and indoor BBQ on Sky Villa configurations
The Molteni & C | Dada kitchen specification deserves specific attention. Molteni & C is an Italian furniture manufacturer whose residential and hospitality projects span the world’s most demanding luxury contexts. The Dada kitchen brand — Molteni’s dedicated kitchen division — is among the most technically sophisticated and aesthetically refined kitchen specifications available at any price point in the Miami market. This is not a specification chosen for its brand recognition with buyers. It is a specification chosen because it represents the highest available quality standard in Italian kitchen design — consistent with the St. Regis brand’s operational philosophy of choosing the best available in every category.
Pricing: What Does St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach Cost in 2026?
St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach pricing has been marketed with entry points starting at approximately $3.9 million — though current pricing for specific configurations in the North Tower Collection is meaningfully above that figure based on the most current developer data.
South Tower pricing (under construction, Q4 2028 delivery):
Available units in the South Tower reflect mid-to-upper floor positioning at this stage of sales, with entry pricing for available two-bedroom configurations above $5 million for most current availability.
North Tower pricing (now selling, Q4 2029 delivery):
- Two-bedroom: From $5,000,000
- Three-bedroom: From $8,969,000
- Four-bedroom: From $9,636,000
- Two-bedroom plus den: From $6,150,000
- Three-bedroom South Tower: From $7,117,000
- Four-bedroom South Tower: From $10,611,000
- Half-floor Sky Villa: From $15,000,000
- Penthouses: Inquire for pricing
The deposit structure for St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach follows a multi-stage schedule consistent with Fortune International Group’s established pre-construction model. Buyers should verify the current deposit schedule directly with the sales team, as milestone timing may have been updated since the initial launch.
The $418 million construction financing secured — one of the largest residential construction loans in Sunny Isles Beach history — provides the capital certainty that reduces delivery risk for pre-construction buyers. When a project of this scale secures institutional construction financing at this level, lender due diligence has validated the development’s financial feasibility, the developer’s execution capability, and the market’s demand supporting the projected sell-through.
Amenities: 70,000 Square Feet Across Two Towers
At 70,000 square feet, St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach delivers the largest amenity footprint per tower of any building in the Sunny Isles Beach market. Shared across both towers and managed to St. Regis five-star service standards, the full offering includes:
Beach and waterfront:
- Private Beach Club — the building’s most celebrated outdoor amenity — with full St. Regis beach service: dedicated attendants, cabanas, loungers, umbrellas, bar and grill, and direct beach service for every resident
- 435 linear feet of private Atlantic Ocean beachfront across the 4.7-acre site
Pools:
- Three pools total: club members’ pool, lap pool, and tower pool
- Children’s splash zone
- The North Tower’s infinity pool — marketed as the longest infinity pool in South Florida — as the building’s signature visual amenity
Wellness and fitness:
- Full spa and wellness center with comprehensive spa services, treatment rooms, sauna, steam, hammam, relaxation and vitality pools, and outdoor wellness terraces
- Hot and cold plunge pools
- Beauty salon and barbershop within the spa level
- State-of-the-art fitness center
Social and entertaining:
- John Jacob Astor Business Club — referencing the St. Regis brand’s founder — with a dedicated boardroom, private offices, lounge, and co-working spaces named in honor of the brand’s origin
- Private dining spaces and event facilities
- Residents’ lounge and social spaces across both towers
Services:
- St. Regis Butler Service — the brand’s signature residential service, available 24 hours to every resident
- 10 guest suites per tower — available to residents for visiting family and friends
- 24-hour concierge and security
- Valet parking and full building management
- In-residence dining available on request
The John Jacob Astor Business Club is worth specific mention — because it is a detail that reflects the depth of the St. Regis brand integration at Sunny Isles. John Jacob Astor IV founded the original St. Regis Hotel in New York in 1904, and the boardroom named in his honor is not a decorative gesture. It is a functioning business facility that connects the residents of St. Regis Sunny Isles to the 120-year heritage of a brand that has served the world’s most demanding guests since the Gilded Age.
The 10 guest suites per tower — available exclusively to residents for their visiting family and friends — is an amenity feature that the Estates at Acqualina and Bentley Residences both offer and that buyers who entertain frequently specifically seek. Having the ability to accommodate visiting guests at hotel standards, within your own building, without the logistical complexity of booking a separate hotel, is one of those quality-of-life advantages that reads more significant after six months of ownership than it does in a floor plan review.
The Developers: Fortune International Group and Château Group
The developer pairing behind St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach is one of the strongest in the current South Florida pre-construction market.
Fortune International Group is one of Miami’s most established luxury real estate development and brokerage organizations, with a track record spanning four decades and a portfolio that includes the Jade series — Jade Beach, Jade Ocean, and Jade Signature — along with multiple other marquee luxury developments. Edgardo Defortuna, Fortune’s founder and CEO, is among the most respected figures in South Florida luxury real estate, and his team’s track record of delivering complex pre-construction projects is among the most credible available.
Jade Signature — Fortune’s most recent Sunny Isles delivery — established the Pritzker Prize architectural standard for the Collins Avenue corridor through the Herzog & de Meuron collaboration. St. Regis Sunny Isles follows that architectural ambition with Arquitectonica’s yacht-inspired curvilinear towers and Anastassiadis’ internationally acclaimed interiors.
Château Group brings over 35 years of luxury real estate development experience across South America and the United States. Their portfolio includes FENDI Château Residences — the fashion-branded development that established their South Florida pre-construction credentials — and multiple other luxury projects. Château’s in-house capabilities — construction, design, engineering, risk management, property management, and marketing — provide an integrated development infrastructure that reduces the coordination friction between external contractors and produces more consistent delivery outcomes.
The $418 million construction financing secured by this developer partnership validates both the project’s financial feasibility and the institutional confidence in Fortune and Château’s ability to execute at this scale.
Location: 18801 Collins Avenue — The Pinnacle of the Sunny Isles Corridor
At 18801 Collins Avenue, St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach occupies the northern end of the Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront corridor — at the precise point where Collins Avenue approaches the Aventura municipal boundary and where the density of the Dezer portfolio buildings transitions to the quieter northern stretch of the beachfront.
The site’s positioning between Aventura Mall to the north and Bal Harbour Shops to the south creates the retail lifestyle access that defines North Miami Beach luxury living. From 18801 Collins Avenue, residents are:
- Eight minutes from Aventura Mall — one of the largest retail destinations in the Southeast
- Twelve minutes from Bal Harbour Shops — the most productive luxury retail center per square foot in the United States
- Equidistant between Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport — approximately twenty to twenty-five minutes to each
- Fifteen minutes from the Porsche Design Tower, Armani/Casa Residences, and Bentley Residences, further south on Collins Avenue
- Twenty-five minutes from Brickell and Downtown Miami
- Fifteen minutes from Miami Beach
The dual-airport equidistance is a practical daily-life advantage for buyers who use both airports regularly, for international routes typically concentrated at MIA and domestic routes increasingly concentrated at FLL. The ability to choose the less congested airport on any given travel day, from a single residential address, is a convenience that buyers with global travel demands consistently rank as more valuable than it initially appears.
St. Regis Sunny Isles vs. the Competition
St. Regis Sunny Isles vs. Bentley Residences: The most frequently compared pair in the Sunny Isles Beach pre-construction market. Bentley offers the Dezervator four-car sky garage and targets Q1 2028 delivery — approximately one year before St. Regis South Tower. St. Regis offers the global hospitality brand, butler service, 70,000 square feet of amenities, and a two-tower campus versus Bentley’s single tower. For buyers choosing between automotive lifestyle innovation and five-star resort service as their primary lifestyle driver, the comparison resolves cleanly. For buyers who want both, neither building provides it — and the decision is made elsewhere.
St. Regis Sunny Isles vs. Estates at Acqualina: The comparison that most buyers at the $8 million and above tier in Sunny Isles will make. The Estates is fully delivered — you can close and move in today. St. Regis is pre-construction, delivering in 2028 and 2029. The Estates offers the Acqualina Resort’s proven Forbes Five-Star service infrastructure, private beach, and the Circus Maximus. St. Regis offers a newer building, the St. Regis global brand network, and pricing that at the North Tower entry level rivals the Estates’ current asking prices. For buyers who cannot wait until 2028, the Estates is the only option. For buyers who prefer new construction and are comfortable with the pre-construction timeline, St. Regis offers a compelling alternative.
St. Regis Sunny Isles vs. St. Regis Residences Brickell: The same brand, two completely different neighborhoods. St. Regis Brickell is a 152-unit boutique bayfront tower in South Brickell — approximately 90% sold, targeting Q4 2027 delivery, from $4.6 million. St. Regis Sunny Isles is a two-tower oceanfront campus in Sunny Isles Beach — still actively selling both towers, targeting Q4 2028 and Q4 2029 delivery. Buyers who want the St. Regis brand in a smaller, more urban, bayfront setting choose Brickell. Buyers who want the brand on the oceanfront, with two towers, 70,000 square feet of amenities, and a private beach, choose Sunny Isles. Both are defensible positions.
Investment Outlook: The Case for St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles in 2026
The investment thesis for St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach in Q2 2026 rests on four structural factors.
First, the brand’s premium track record. St. Regis Residences Brickell — the brand’s most directly comparable South Florida product — absorbed approximately 90% of its 152 units before delivery and is now pricing resale inventory above its pre-construction figures. The brand premium that supports that performance is the same brand premium available at Sunny Isles.
Second, the $418 million construction financing. Institutional construction financing at that scale validates the project’s financial feasibility, the developer’s creditworthiness, and the lender’s market demand assessment. Projects that secure institutional construction financing at this level are among the lowest delivery risk pre-construction investments available in the South Florida market.
Third, the North Tower long runway. Buyers entering the North Tower today — with delivery targeting Q4 2029 — have approximately 3.5 years of pre-delivery value accretion potential. The historical pattern of well-positioned branded towers in Miami is that each construction milestone triggers a pricing reset upward for remaining pre-construction inventory and post-delivery resales. Buyers who enter earliest in a building’s sales cycle at the lowest pricing tier capture the most accretion.
Fourth, the Sunny Isles Beach pipeline is genuinely constrained. Bentley Residences, St. Regis Sunny Isles, and Porsche Design Tower represent the full current and near-term oceanfront branded residence offering in the market. There is no fourth major branded tower in the pipeline. The finite supply of oceanfront Collins Avenue sites is the structural ceiling on new supply that creates the appreciation conditions that have characterized the market for the past decade.
