Sunny Isles Beach has become a hotbed for new residential construction. About six new luxury oceanfront condos are proposed for the barrier island over the next couple of years.

Some of the newly proposed luxury condominiums in Sunny Isles Beach are Chateau Beach, 400 Sunny Isles, Mansions at Acqualina, Porsche Design Tower and Regalia. It’s possible units in these buildings will be sold out by the end of 2012.

Foreign buyers have been eying South Florida real estate. Many of the foreign buyers are looking for good deals and a safe place to invest their cash.

Sunny Isles Beach was created about 15 years ago. At the time, the stretch of beach in Miami was covered with theme-oriented boutique hotels from the 1950’s. Developers realized that this area was ideal for beachfront condos.

At this point, Regalia is the only new tower under construction. The Regalia is a 43-story, luxury oceanfront residential building, featuring 39 units overlooking Golden Beach.
