The tower was completed in 2015 according to its builder, Coastal Construction; MLS records give 2016 as the year built. It has 33 stories. Most sources count 84 residences; the builder’s project page says 81. That works out to about two or three residences per floor.

Château Group, led by Manuel Grosskopf, developed the building. The architecture is credited to Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, and Coastal Construction credits the interiors to Fanny Haim & Associates. The tower’s curved, layered façade was described as taking its cue from beach dunes.

Not yet. Florida’s milestone-inspection law applies to condo buildings of three or more stories at 30 years of occupancy, and local officials can require it at 25 years near the coast. Château Beach is about 10 years old, so its first milestone inspection is most likely 15 or more years away. We confirm the exact timing with the city and the association.

Yes. A structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) is now required for Florida condo buildings of three or more stories, whatever their age. It sets how much the association must save for the roof, structure, waterproofing, windows, elevators and other key items, and those reserves can no longer be waived. For a 10-year-old tower the numbers are usually more manageable than in older buildings, but we still read the study and the current budget before you commit.

We found no public report of a special assessment, but that isn’t proof there isn’t one. During your review period we check the budget, the board minutes, the reserve study and any notice of planned assessments, and ask the association in writing.

Current listings show about $1.94 to $2.00 per square foot a month — roughly $4,070 a month for a two-bedroom of about 2,070 sq ft, about $5,400 for about 2,700 sq ft and about $6,500 for a three-bedroom of about 3,340 sq ft. One listing shows a lower figure that may be out of date. We confirm what the fee covers and whether a change has been approved.

Leasing is allowed within the association’s rules, but we didn’t find a published minimum lease term or annual limit, so we get the current rules in writing before you make an offer. Right now 1 lease listing asks about $24,000 a month, furnished. Rental income isn’t guaranteed and we don’t project it.

With restrictions. Several sale listings note pet restrictions, and building profiles mention a size limit; one lease listing says no pets, which can be the owner’s choice. Ask us to confirm the current pet rule with the association before you write an offer.

Building profiles and listings describe an infinity-edge pool and deck on the ocean, beach service, a spa with treatment suites, saunas and steam rooms, an aromatherapy Jacuzzi terrace, an oceanfront fitness center, a wine lounge with private lockers, a cigar lounge, a home theater, a ballroom, a kids club, a 25-foot glass lobby, valet, concierge and 24-hour security.

Developer-era materials describe residences of about 1,557 to 4,230 sq ft (excluding terraces), with two to five bedrooms, 10-foot ceilings (11 feet in penthouses), floor-to-ceiling impact glass and private or semi-private elevators. Current listings run from about 2,070 sq ft to a penthouse of about 9,050 sq ft as listed. Views vary by line, so we send the plan with every unit.

Taxes reset to your purchase price. As a rough guide, budget about 2% of the price a year without a homestead exemption — around $4,800 a month on a $2.9M residence. A homestead exemption lowers that for a primary residence.

Usually, though condo loans at this price are often jumbo loans and depend on the association as well as on you. Lenders look at reserves, insurance, owner-occupancy, litigation and any pending assessments. We line up a lender who already knows the building.

Yes. International buyers are common in Sunny Isles. A 2023 Florida law adds restrictions for buyers domiciled in certain countries of concern; check with a Florida real estate attorney if that may apply to you. We handle remote purchases with video tours and e-signatures.

Under section 718.503 of the Florida Statutes, a resale condo buyer can cancel within 3 business days after receiving the association documents if they weren’t provided before signing. We use that time to review the budget, reserves, the SIRS, minutes and rules with you.

How buyer’s-agent compensation is paid is agreed in writing before we show you units. Sellers often offer to cover it; when they do, your cost doesn’t change. We explain the options upfront.
