01The Estates at Acqualina, North Tower
Every one of the 8 arm's-length sales recorded at the north tower of The Estates at Acqualina between July 2025 and June 2026 cleared $5 million, at a median of $9.9 million. Arm's-length means between unrelated parties on market terms.
The developer, the Trump Group, calls it the Boutique Tower. It stands on the ocean side of Collins Avenue at number 17975 in Sunny Isles Beach, and the state condominium registry records it as 888 Via Acqualina. Completed in 2023, it rises 672 feet, and CTBUH lists it as the tallest completed building in the city.

The South Tower (17901 Collins Avenue), completed in 2022, lies to the south, across the amenity villa the two towers share. To the north stand Trump International Beach Resort (18001 Collins Avenue), a hotel condominium from 2003, and then Trump Palace (18101 Collins Avenue). The tower lies in the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Miami-Dade County, not in the City of Miami; the city's own operating rate for 2025 was 1.7000 mills, part of the total rate given below.
No source used for this page documents views by orientation or floor, or any rules on beach access. What a given residence sees is a matter for the viewing.

CTBUH credits the lobby to Karl Lagerfeld, and the developer says he designed the lobbies of both towers. CTBUH lists Cohen, Freedman, Encinosa & Associates Architects (CFE Architects) as design architect, and CFE's own page for The Estates at Acqualina names the firm as architect of record. A 2020 article reprinted on the developer's site says STA Architectural Group designed the towers; as at the South Tower, the credit is taken here to refer to STA's interior work.
The structure is all concrete, with foundations by Keller and formwork by Doka; Coastal Construction and Suffolk Construction were the main contractors. At 672 ft (204.8 m) and 52 floors, the tower is second in CTBUH's Sunny Isles Beach list, behind Bentley Residences, which is still under construction. Sources disagree on the unit count, with 94 in the developer's announcement, 91 at CTBUH, 86 in the recorded condominium and 83 parcels on the roll.
CFE's other work includes Bellini Bal Harbour and Grand Bay Residences. No source consulted names a landscape architect or states the design idea. The firms behind the rest of the skyline are on Architecture of the coast.
§ 05The Estates at Acqualina, North Tower
The developer announced no more than two residences per floor, each reached by a private elevator. Its Boutique Tower plans are named Amalfi and Ravello, with a living space 57 ft (17.4 m) long that includes the kitchen. In its Platinum Collection, Casa Di Coba has seven bedrooms, nine baths and six powder rooms, a private pool and a private four-car garage.
The county's figures confirm the scale. Living areas run from 2,780 to 10,444 sq ft (258 to 970 m²), with a median of 4,247 sq ft (395 m²), against 3,484 sq ft at the South Tower: the north tower holds fewer, larger homes. Developer brochure areas are measured under different rules, so the two sets of figures do not compare directly.
The developer gives ceilings of 10 ft 6 in (3.2 m) for the Estates residences, and the residences' interiors are credited to STA Architectural Group. Owners share the 45,000 sq ft (about 4,180 m²) amenity villa and grounds with the South Tower, whose page lists the developer's amenities, gym and pools; no separate list was found for the north tower. The developer adds a speakeasy reserved for Boutique Tower residents and their guests, and states that its inventory is sold out, so every purchase is now a resale.
§ 06The Estates at Acqualina, North Tower
The market has no single definition of a luxury home, so this site draws the line at a recorded sale of $5 million or more. Florida's Department of Revenue codes every recorded deed as an arm's-length sale or not. Ten deeds at this address carry 2025 or 2026 dates on the 2026 roll, and 8 qualify, recorded between July 2025 and June 2026.
01
Median price:
$9.9 million.
02
Range:
$6.1 million to $13.15 million.
03
Price per square foot:
$1,436 to $3,096 of county-recorded living area (about $15,500 to $33,300 per m²), median $2,350 (about $25,300 per m²).
How these figures compare. On the 2026 roll, the highest count of arm's-length sales at $5 million or more at any Sunny Isles Beach condominium address was 15, shared by the South Tower and Turnberry Ocean Club. In all, 13 condominium addresses in the city recorded at least one such sale, and 18 have at least one residence valued at $5 million or more.
Against its closest peers the north tower sits in the middle. Price per square meter here is the median across all arm's-length sales in each building:
| Building | Sales at $5M+ | Median of those sales | Price per m² (per sq ft) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 888 Via Acqualina, North Tower | 8 of 8 | $9.9M | about $25,300 ($2,350) |
| The South Tower | 15 of 15 | $10.2M | about $26,400 ($2,454) |
| Regalia | 4 of 4 | $11.8M | about $22,600 ($2,103) |
| Jade Signature | 6 of 19 | $9.8M | about $18,300 ($1,703) |
How to read them. Eight sales are a small sample, and the count is a floor. The roll keeps only each residence's two most recent sales, and deeds closing long pre-construction contracts can fall outside the arm's-length code. Asking prices on listing portals, Zillow among them, are sellers' figures, not recorded prices. No unit numbers and no owners are shown anywhere on this site.
Values for tax. The county appraiser's estimate of market value, the just value, runs from $2.72 million to $20.28 million here; it is an appraisal, not a price. Twenty of the 83 residences (24.1%) carry a homestead exemption, a floor for the share of homes their owners live in.

Property tax. The combined property-tax rate in Sunny Isles Beach for 2025 was 16.7227 mills: $16.72 for every $1,000 of taxable value, or about 1.67% a year. A residence assessed at $5 million that is not the owner's Florida homestead would pay about $83,600 a year. After a purchase, the assessment resets to full market value on the next 1 January. The appraiser's just value can differ from the price paid; for this building the median just value on the 2026 roll is $6.82 million.
Assessment caps. For a residence that is not the owner's Florida homestead, the assessed value used for non-school taxes may rise by no more than 10% a year. Amendment 3, which Florida voters approved on 3 November 2026, lowers that cap to 5% from the 2027 roll; the state had not yet certified the result on 9 November 2026. The homestead exemption itself is open only to an owner who makes the home a permanent Florida residence in good faith, a test a person in the United States on a temporary visa cannot meet.
HOA fees. The association's budget was not found in a public source, so its fees are not known here. Before an offer, ask the seller for the last two budgets, the reserve schedule and the building's insurance policies.
At purchase. Florida's documentary stamp tax on the deed is $0.60 for every $100 of the price in Miami-Dade County, about $59,550 at this building's median of $9.925 million; the purchase contract decides which party pays it. Miami-Dade's additional surtax of $0.45 per $100 does not apply, because state law counts a condominium unit as a single-family residence, which is exempt. A mortgage adds documentary stamp tax of $0.35 per $100 of the loan and an intangible tax, a state tax on the loan itself, of $2 per $1,000.
§ 08The Estates at Acqualina, North Tower
After the 2021 collapse in Surfside, Florida requires two checks of every condominium building three or more habitable stories high.
Status here. Both SIRS databases of the state's Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), before and after July 2025, list "888 Via Acqualina Condo Assn, Inc". A listing shows that a study was reported, not what it found. No building-by-building milestone list was found on the City of Sunny Isles Beach Building Safety page.
What a resale buyer is entitled to. On a resale the seller must give the buyer, at the seller's cost, the declaration of condominium, the articles, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, and the association's question-and-answer sheet and governance form. The package also carries the most recent structural integrity reserve study, or a statement that none was done, and the summary of the milestone inspection report where one applies. If the developer handed control to the owners after 1 July 2023, the turnover inspection report is included too.
The buyer may cancel within 7 days of receiving the documents, weekends and legal holidays not counted. That right falls away if the contract records receipt more than 7 days before signing, and it ends at closing. A buyer who purchases from the developer has 15 days instead.
§ 09The Estates at Acqualina, North Tower
The tower stands outside the 1% flood area on both FEMA maps, though the revised maps raise its own rating from minimal to moderate. The current maps, in force since 11 September 2009, place the building itself in Zone X (unshaded), where flood risk is minimal.
Toward the beach the parcel passes through Zone X (shaded), with a 0.2% chance of flooding in any year, and then Zone AE, the 1% annual-chance area, at a base flood elevation of 8 feet (2.4 m). At the water's edge lies Zone VE, at 10 feet (3.0 m), where storm waves strike and building rules are strictest. In Zone AE a mortgage lender usually requires flood insurance.
A base flood elevation is the height water is expected to reach in a 1%-a-year flood, measured from the map's reference level, never a depth of water above the ground.
The revised maps, effective 19 February 2027, place the building in Zone X (shaded) and the beach side of the parcel in Zone VE; the AE band between them disappears. They give that VE zone a base flood elevation of 12 feet, measured from a newer reference level (NAVD88), so it does not compare directly with today's 10 feet (NGVD29). The wave zone then begins about 60 meters east of the building's map point, against about 130 meters today. These are readings of FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer, not official flood-zone determinations.
Like all of Sunny Isles Beach and Golden Beach, the address sits in Miami-Dade Storm Surge Planning Zone B, where storm surge, the sea water a hurricane pushes ashore, is a risk from Category 2 storms upward. The county orders evacuations by each storm's track and projected surge, not by category alone.
Flood insurance. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) covers up to $250,000 for a residential building and $100,000 for contents. A condominium association's building policy can reach $250,000 multiplied by the number of units, or $21.5 million for the 86 units in the recorded condominium. At these values, cover above the NFIP limits is bought privately.
Windstorm insurance. Citizens, Florida's state-backed insurer of last resort, may not write a unit owner's policy where the unit's combined dwelling and contents replacement cost is $700,000 or more. The threshold rises to $1 million in counties where the state insurance regulator finds too little competition. What counts is the cost of rebuilding and refitting the unit, not the price paid; the association's policy for the building is a separate matter. An insurance agent can say whether a given unit qualifies.

Three rules weigh most for a buyer from abroad, and each carries conditions. When the seller is a foreign person, the buyer generally must withhold 15% of the price and pay it to the IRS, under the federal rule known as FIRPTA. A nonresident who is not a US citizen and holds US real estate directly is exposed to US estate tax. The third rule is Florida's own.
Florida's foreign-ownership law of 2023 covers people domiciled in China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria or under the Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro who are not US citizens or green-card holders. It limits their purchases near military and critical-infrastructure sites and, for those domiciled in China, anywhere in Florida, with one narrow exception for a single home.
On this coast that exception is the only way in. The law counts a facility only where it is fenced, barred or guarded, and two that meet the test lie within 10 miles of every address. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is secured under the federal airport security program and Port Everglades under federal port security rules; both are about 6 to 10 miles away.
Two more facilities of the kinds the law lists are nearby: the Miami-Dade North District wastewater treatment plant, about 1 to 4 miles away, and North Perry airport, about 6 to 10. The nearest military installation, at Dania Beach, is about 8 to 12 miles away, beyond the 5 miles the exception requires.
A covered person may therefore buy here only one residential property of up to 2 acres, in their own name, with a current US visa not limited to tourism or with official asylum documentation. The purchase must be registered with the Florida Department of Commerce within 30 days. Companies and other entities covered by the law may not buy here. Each rule is set out in full in the guide to buying from abroad; this is general information, not legal or tax advice.
Rentals of six months or less need, among other requirements, a city short-term rental license for each unit and either the association's written consent or a copy of its bylaws; the condominium's documents may restrict rentals further. The same documents decide whether the association must approve a buyer, whether a company may hold title and what minimum lease term applies. They were not found in public sources.
The Estates at Acqualina, North Tower
On the state's 2026 roll, 8 arm's-length sales between July 2025 and June 2026 ran from $6.1 million to $13.15 million. Their median was $9.9 million, or $2,350 per sq ft of county-recorded living area; the South Tower's 15 sales had a median of $10.2 million.
About $25,300 per m² ($2,350 per sq ft), the median of eight arm's-length sales; they range from about $15,500 to $33,300 per m². Brochures measure area differently, so their figures do not compare directly.
17975 Collins Ave, Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160; 888 Via Acqualina is the condominium's recorded name. The South Tower is at 17901 Collins Avenue, recorded as 777 Via Acqualina.
The Trump Group developed it; CTBUH lists CFE Architects as design architect and Coastal Construction with Suffolk Construction as main contractors. The roll and CTBUH both give 2023 as the year of completion.
672 ft (204.8 m) to its architectural top on 52 floors, by CTBUH's count, the tallest completed building in its Sunny Isles Beach list. The 2026 roll records 83 residences, at most two to a floor according to the developer.
No. The Estates at Acqualina consists of two condominium towers, recorded in the state registry as 777 Via Acqualina and 888 Via Acqualina, and every sale counted here is of a condominium residence.
The developer's largest published home here is Casa Di Coba in its Platinum Collection: seven bedrooms, nine baths, six powder rooms, a private pool and a private four-car garage. The roll's largest living area is 10,444 sq ft, and the highest recorded sale in the window was $13.15 million.
No budget was found in a public source. A resale buyer is entitled to the budget and the annual financial statement, which show the fees, the reserves and any special assessments.
Pet rules sit in the declaration and the house rules, which no public source reproduces; ask for them before an offer. Assistance animals must be allowed in every case.
This page is not a review and quotes no testimonials. The public record an adviser can check instead is cited below: the condominium registry, the recorded sales, the SIRS listing and the FEMA map.
The city's short-term rental ordinance does not limit how often a condominium unit is rented. The condominium's documents may restrict frequency and set a minimum term; they were not found in a public source.

Viewings at 888 Via Acqualina are arranged through a licensed broker. For a buyer overseas, the first visit can be made by video.
Since every purchase here is now a resale, the seller holds the documents worth reading first: the association's last two budgets, the SIRS and the declaration's rules on leasing, pets and buyer approval. Pet rules always allow assistance animals as the law requires.
