Porsche Design Tower on Collins Avenue was the first residential tower with a car lift delivering residents' cars to sky garages beside their apartments. Ocean-front with private pools on the terraces, a restaurant, spa and beach. Resale units trade. Avory introduces buyers and arranges owner stays where permitted.

What you own

A Florida condominium unit held in fee simple, together with an undivided share of the common elements. The declaration for 18555 Collins Avenue Condominium is recorded in the Miami-Dade official records at book 28399, page 2439, and each unit's share is set out there. Shares run from 0.6363 per cent for the smallest residence to 1.7414 per cent for a penthouse. The deed carries the residence, its terrace and the garage bay allocated to it. What the deed covers is confirmed for the specific residence before you commit.

Usage

Owner use runs year round. There are no fixed weeks and no rota, because each residence is owned outright. Owners may let, but the condominium documents set a minimum lease of 6 months and allow letting no more than twice in a year, so short stays are not permitted. Where Avory arranges a stay in an owner's residence it sits inside those rules and is subject to availability. Pets are allowed within limits: up to 2 cats or dogs, dogs to 60 lb, several breeds excluded, and a registration fee of 75 USD per pet.

What it costs to hold

The condominium association assesses each residence on its share of the common elements, so the annual charge follows the percentage on the deed. The association does not publish its budget, so the assessment is confirmed for the specific residence before you commit. Property tax is separate. The total adopted millage for Sunny Isles Beach in 2025 was 16.7227, about 1.67 per cent of taxable value a year. On purchase, Florida documentary stamp tax runs at 60 cents per 100 USD of the price in Miami-Dade, with a 45 cent surtax that is not due on the transfer of a single-family dwelling.

Services and amenities

Staff and facilities are listed below. The two that shape daily life here are the car concierge, which moves, cleans and looks after residents' cars, and FUEL, the residents' restaurant on the lobby level, where each residence has a wine locker held by the sommelier. Beyond that the building runs a 24-hour concierge, an oceanfront pool with attendants and food service, and service on the sand.

The building

Sieger Suarez Architects designed the tower for Dezer Development: 60 storeys, 641 ft or 195 m, and 132 residences on a 2.104 acre oceanfront site of 96,160 sq ft. Residences sit on levels 7 to 55, with 2 penthouses above them. Three car lifts, the Dezervators named after the developer Gil Dezer, carry residents and their cars to a garage beside the flat, across 284 parking spaces. Michael Wolk Design Associates designed the lobby. Ceilings are 10 ft clear, and 20 ft in the duplex residences.

Inside the residences

Interior areas on the Property Appraiser record run from 3,130 to 8,566 sq ft, or 291 to 796 sq m, with 3 or 4 bedrooms. A private lift opens into the residence. Most have a plunge pool of 10 ft by 15 ft and a summer kitchen on the terrace, floor-to-ceiling glass, a Poggenpohl kitchen with Miele appliances, Dornbracht fittings in the kitchen and main bathroom, automatic Toto units in the main bathrooms and a gas fireplace. Marketed sizes are larger because they count the terrace and the garage.

The location

The tower stands on Collins Avenue, State Road A1A, on the barrier island that carries Sunny Isles Beach, with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. The city covers 1.81 square miles and about 2 miles of sand. Haulover Park and Bal Harbour lie south, Aventura sits west over the William Lehman Causeway, and the free city shuttle stops at Aventura Mall. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International is about 13 miles north, roughly 25 minutes by road. Miami International is about 22 miles south.

Buying here

A buyer from outside the United States takes the same fee simple title a US buyer takes, and there is no general bar on foreign ownership. Two points matter. Since July 2023, chapter 692 of the Florida Statutes has restricted buyers domiciled in China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela or Syria, with a narrow exception for one home held on a qualifying visa, and every buyer signs an affidavit at closing. When a foreign owner later sells, the buyer must withhold 15 per cent of the price under FIRPTA unless an exception applies. Take Florida advice early.

How Avory arranges this

The developer sold out, so the residences trade privately. Avory works with the listing brokers on Collins Avenue and, where we know them, with owners directly. After you enquire we confirm what is on the market, the association assessment and the letting rules for that residence, then arrange a viewing. A stay is possible only where an owner is letting, within the 6-month minimum lease, and subject to availability. Request access.
