01The Estates at Acqualina, South Tower
No condominium address in Sunny Isles Beach recorded more sales at $5 million or more than the south tower of The Estates at Acqualina. Between January 2025 and June 2026 it recorded 15 arm's-length sales, each between unrelated parties on market terms, and every one cleared that line. Only Turnberry Ocean Club matched the count.
The tower stands on the ocean side of Collins Avenue at number 17901, in Sunny Isles Beach; the state condominium registry records it as 777 Via Acqualina, and it is also known as Acqualina Estates. The Trump Group developed it and completed it in 2022. It rises 646 feet and holds 149 condominium residences on the state's 2026 tax roll.

The developer gives the two-tower site 502 ft (153 m) of oceanfront. To the south stands Acqualina Resort & Residences (17875 Collins Avenue). To the north is the twin, the Boutique North Tower (17975 Collins Avenue), with the shared amenity villa between the two, and beyond it Trump International Beach Resort (18001 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, and how the beach is reached, are matters for the viewing and for the declaration of condominium.

Both towers were developed by the Trump Group and designed by CFE Architects (Cohen, Freedman, Encinosa & Associates), a practice dating to 1961. The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat lists CFE as design architect, and CFE lists itself as architect of record. A 2020 developer release credited STA Architectural Group with the design; STA's documented role, as Florida Design reports it, is the residence interiors, by Isabel Tragash and Jordan Dobrow. The permit drawings are not among the sources used here.
The structure is all concrete, with foundations by Keller and formwork by Doka; Coastal Construction and Suffolk Construction were the main contractors. A developer release says the Trump Group signed a $600 million contract with Coastal Construction in October 2018 to complete both towers and the villa. CTBUH credits the lobbies of both towers to Karl Lagerfeld.
Between the towers stands Villa Acqualina, a residents-only amenity building of about 45,000 sq ft (4,180 m²), whose design was led by the architect and designer Suchi Reddy of Reddymade. CFE's other work includes Bellini Bal Harbour and Grand Bay Residences. No source consulted names a landscape architect or states the design idea. More on who shaped this coast: Architecture of the coast.
§ 05The Estates at Acqualina, South Tower
The developer describes plans of four to seven bedrooms. Vecchio has four bedrooms and five baths, Toscana four bedrooms and six and a half baths, and Donatello and Milano five bedrooms and seven and a half baths each. In the "Platinum Collection", Casa Di Oro has six bedrooms and Casa Di Oceana five, on two levels. According to the developer these homes have private pools, and one adds a furnished cabana, a two-car garage and a separate four-car garage.
Areas depend on who measures. In 2020 the developer listed the remaining units at 3,287 to 5,522 sq ft (305 to 513 m²) and a two-story penthouse at 9,083 sq ft (844 m²). The county's records run from 2,616 to 9,993 sq ft (243 to 928 m²), with a median of 3,484 sq ft (324 m²). The two sources measure under different rules, and the roll's largest figure even exceeds the brochure penthouse, so neither can be read as the other.
The developer gives ceilings of 10 ft 6 in (3.2 m) and says residences are delivered "furniture ready". In the villa it places an ice-skating rink, a four-lane bowling alley, Formula One and golf simulators, a cinema and a wine room. It lists separately a gym and spa of 13,000 sq ft (about 1,200 m²), zero-entry and infinity-edge pools, a FlowRider wave machine, soccer, basketball and bocce courts, and a dog park.
Service is listed in the same detail: 24-hour valet, security and concierge staff and a Rolls-Royce house car. The developer states that its inventory is sold out, so every purchase is now a resale, and that Acqualina Resort & Residences manages the building.
§ 06The Estates at Acqualina, South 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. Each recorded deed carries a code from Florida's Department of Revenue saying whether it was an arm's-length sale. Of the 22 deeds at this address dated 2025 or 2026 on the 2026 roll, 15 qualify.
01
Median price:
$10.2 million.
02
Range:
$6.15 million to $21.6 million.
03
Price per square foot:
$2,153 to $2,823 of county-recorded living area (about $23,200 to $30,400 per m²), median $2,454.
How these figures compare. On the 2026 roll, no condominium address in Sunny Isles Beach recorded more sales at $5 million or more. Turnberry Ocean Club, at 18501 Collins Avenue, recorded the same 15, but at a median of $5.6 million. Across the city, 13 condominium addresses recorded at least one such sale, and 18 hold at least one residence valued at $5 million or more.
Among the neighbors, only Regalia records a higher median, and on just four sales. On price per square foot, taken as the median across all arm's-length sales in each building, this tower leads:
| Building | Sales at $5M+ | Median of those sales | Price per m² (per sq ft) |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Estates at Acqualina, South Tower | 15 of 15 | $10.2M | about $26,400 ($2,454) |
| The north twin | 8 of 8 | $9.9M | about $25,300 ($2,350) |
| Regalia | 4 of 4 | $11.8M | about $22,600 ($2,103) |
| Turnberry Ocean Club | 15 of 15 | $5.6M | about $20,600 ($1,913) |
How to read them. The count is a floor, not a full tally. The roll keeps only each residence's two most recent sales, and deeds that close long pre-construction contracts can fall outside the arm's-length code. Asking prices are set by sellers and are not recorded prices. No unit numbers and no owners are shown here or anywhere on this site.
Values for tax. The county appraiser's estimate of market value, the just value, runs from $3.45 million to $33.99 million here; it is an appraisal for tax purposes, not a price. Thirty-three of the 149 residences (22.1%) carry a homestead exemption.
§ 07The Estates at Acqualina, South Tower

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 $6.52 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.
Association fees. This association's budget is not published. Ask for the last two budgets, the reserve schedule and the insurance policies for the building before making an offer, and ask about special assessments: extra payments the association votes for a specific purpose. Florida law entitles a resale buyer to the budget, as set out below.
At purchase. Florida's documentary stamp tax on the deed is $0.60 for every $100 of the price in Miami-Dade County, about $61,200 on a purchase at the median of $10.2 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, South Tower
After the 2021 collapse in Surfside, Florida requires two checks of every condominium building three or more habitable stories high.
Status here. Both state SIRS databases list a study for this association, "777 Via Acqualina Condominium Association", as of 9 November 2026. A listing shows that a study was reported; it does not show what the study 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, South Tower
The tower stands outside the 1% flood area on both FEMA maps, but the revised maps of 2027 bring the zone of storm waves much nearer. On the current maps, in force since 11 September 2009, the building itself lies 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). There a mortgage lender usually requires flood insurance. Nearer the water it lies in Zone VE, at 10 feet (3.0 m).
Zone VE is where storm waves strike and building rules are strictest. 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 (NGVD29 on the current maps), 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. The revised VE zone has a base flood elevation of 12 feet, measured from a newer reference level (NAVD88), so the figures do not compare directly. It begins about 50 meters east of the building's map point, against about 130 meters today: some 80 meters closer, give or take 5. 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 $36.5 million for the 146 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, South Tower
In the south tower, 15 arm's-length sales between January 2025 and June 2026 ran from $6.15 million to $21.6 million, with a median of $10.2 million (Florida DOR 2026 roll). What sellers ask today is a separate question from what buyers paid.
The south tower is at 17901 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160; 777 Via Acqualina is its recorded condominium name. The north tower is at 17975 Collins Avenue, recorded as 888 Via Acqualina.
The developer is the Trump Group, which also built Acqualina Resort & Residences and The Mansions at Acqualina. CTBUH lists Coastal Construction and Suffolk Construction as main contractors and CFE Architects as design architect; STA Architectural Group did the residence interiors.
The south tower rises 646 ft (196.9 m) to its architectural top, by CTBUH's count, and holds 149 residences on the state's 2026 roll.
In recorded arm's-length sales, $2,153 to $2,823 per square foot of county-recorded living area, median $2,454 (about $26,400 per m²). Brochures use a different measure, so their per-foot figures do not compare directly.
Those of Villa Acqualina, shared by the two towers: an ice-skating rink, bowling, simulators, a cinema, a wine room, a gym and spa; outside, pools, a FlowRider, courts and a dog park, as the developer lists them.
The budget is not published. A resale buyer is entitled to the budget and the annual financial statement, which show the fees, the reserves and any special assessments.
Yes. Both state databases list a submitted study for this association as of 9 November 2026, and a resale buyer is entitled to the study itself, at the seller's cost.
The developer lists a dog park among the amenities. The rules on pets sit in the declaration and house rules, which no public source reproduces; ask for them before an offer. Assistance animals must be allowed in every case.
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, so the declaration is the document to read before buying with rental in mind.
This page quotes no testimonials. The record says more than any rating: the reserve study on file, the budget the seller must deliver, and 15 arm's-length sales in 18 months, all at $5 million or more.
Viewings are arranged through a licensed broker. A video walk-through can replace the first visit for a buyer abroad.
With every purchase now a resale, the seller can supply the papers 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.
