Sunny Isles Beach
Russian, Turkish, and Brazilian capital — on the sand.
A 2.5-mile sliver of Atlantic-facing high-rise condos. Branded by Porsche, Armani, Aston Martin, Bentley, Trump. Miami's most internationally-owned residential market.
Investment thesis
Sunny Isles is the second-home market. Long-term yields are modest, but capital appreciation has tracked among the strongest in metro Miami over rolling 10-year windows. Currency hedging is the secondary investment thesis for non-USD buyers.
Maintenance fees are heavy in branded towers ($1.50–$2.50/sqft monthly). Property tax around 2.0%. Most owners use the unit themselves rather than renting.

International seasonal residents — Russian, Turkish, Argentinian, Brazilian, French Canadian. Median resident is over 50, with significant net worth and a primary residence elsewhere. Year-round resident share is among Miami's lowest.
