Sunny Isles Beach is becoming the coveted location for new condominiums in Miami.

According to the Miami Herald, six luxury condo towers are being developed in Sunny Isles, equating to 530 luxury oceanfront units along Collins Avenue. Developers have purchased four additional luxury sites for condos in Sunny Isles Beach.

In order to avoid real estate demise of 2007, lenders are mostly unwilling to finance developers for new condominum construction projects. Developers are now forced to use their own money, as well as payments from contracted buyers for these projects. In many cases, developers are requiring around 80 percent of the purchase price to be paid in increments over time based on construction milestones.

Sunny Isles Beach was created 15-years ago to accommodate international buyers’ demand for luxury oceanfront condos. The picturesque beach town attracts approximately a million visitors every year.
