Edition #6 of the 2010 Sunny Isles Condo Index

I’ll be reviewing the latest  trends & comparing the luxury oceanfront market from the 3Q 2009 Sunny Isles Condo Index to today’s updated 3Q 2010 Sunny Isles Condo Index including premier oceanfront towers such as Turnberry Ocean Colony, Acqualina, JADE Ocean, JADE Beach, Trump Palace, Trump Royale, Ocean Four, Sayan, Trump Towers, Pinnacle & Millennium. I’ve excluded condo hotel properties from this research including the Trump International Beach Resort, Merenas Resort, Ocean Point and Sole.

Sunny Isles Beach Condo Index Summary

Sunny Isles Beach condo inventory is down hovering 1,000+ total condos for sale while property values have increased considerably as International & domestic buyers note the deals. The majority of oceanfront condo towers now have healthy inventory figures as shown above in blue with anything less 15% available for sale. Each building tells a different story and the bottom line is this Sunny Isles Beach condo market showing significant signs of improvement on oceanfront real estate. It’s time to buy Miami Beaches as long as you & the family will use it and enjoy it for at least the next 3+ years.

The low-end residential condo market is accelerating with 60% of condo sales under $250k. As this year progresses and inventory continues to decrease, I believe prices will show in favor for continued improvement.

St. Tropez Sunny Isles Beach

I had a spur of the moment urge to preview St. Tropez Condos in Sunny Isles this weekend and was overly impressed with not only the grounds but the pricing and confidence the developer has in them. Only 18 to 20 condos remain in each building (of 80 units per tower) with a select few having special developer default pricing. The price points range from $315 to $400+ per square foot and the majority of condos are 1,670 square feet. Spanning the Intracoastal waterway (600 lineal feet) along the final stretch before the Atlantic Ocean meets Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard, St. Tropez is definitely a building to appreciate. Below are a few of my favorite photographs from the tour.

As you can see (more photos here on Flickr) it’s an amazing property by one of the most financially stable developers J. Milton & Associates who brought us Sayan, Pinnacle, King David and with C.O. in place, has so much to offer with with this new 3 tower complex. The location is awesome offering a Mediterranean shopping area with upscale dining, shopping meccas and the new City of Sunny Isles Towne Center worth Millions. The amenities include a Versace inspired clubhouse, state of the art gymnasium and featuring an oversized sauna and steam room plus an outdoor relaxation area complete with an enclave of sun beds and gardens. Call me for additional information or to preview the residences at 1.888.383.7326!
