Owner’s representative for Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach

Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach are separate cities with their own building departments. Both are lined with bayfront and oceanfront condo towers along Country Club Drive, Williams Island and Collins Avenue, old and new. For a unit renovation, the association’s alteration approval, insurance, elevator reservations, work hours and noise rules come first, then the permit. Associations often set rules for structural changes, plumbing moves, windows and flooring sound underlayment.

After the 2021 collapse in nearby Surfside, Florida passed SB 4-D (2022), requiring milestone inspections for condo buildings three stories and taller and structural integrity reserve studies, and the rules have been amended since. With Miami-Dade’s 40-year recertification, many towers here are scoping concrete, balcony and garage repairs, waterproofing and façade work, paid for by unit owners.

Both cities are in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so exterior products need Miami-Dade NOAs. Oceanfront work in Sunny Isles Beach falls under the Coastal Construction Control Line, and much of both cities is in FEMA flood zones. Golden Shores in Sunny Isles Beach adds waterfront homes with seawall and dock work.
