Jade Signature, Sunny Isles Beach: What Buyers Should Check

Jade Signature is a 57-story oceanfront tower at 16901 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, completed in 2018. It was designed by Herzog & de Meuron — the Pritzker Prize-winning architects behind Tate Modern and the Beijing Olympic stadium — for Fortune International Group, and it is the most architecturally significant residential tower on the Sunny Isles skyline: a sculpted concrete frame with deep, curving terraces, 300 feet of oceanfront, and interiors by Paris firm PYR, led by Pierre-Yves Rochon. With 192 residences and three full floors of amenities, it is the top of the Jade collection and one of the most recognizable addresses in the city.

Amenities and day-to-day living

Three full floors of amenities, a scope that exceeds most other residential buildings in Sunny Isles Beach: a pool deck with beach and pool service, a European spa and salon, fitness center, yoga and pilates studios, a kids' club and playroom, a wine bar, social lounge, library, and meditation area, plus a restaurant and cabanas. Services include a 24-hour concierge, doorman, and 24-hour valet parking. The grounds were designed by landscape architect Raymond Jungles, and the lobby opens directly onto the pool and beach. Parking is valet with assigned garage spaces — most residences have two, and larger ones have up to four; a small number of units have self-parking as well. The building is pet-friendly with restrictions; several listings note a size limit, so confirm the current pet rules with the association. Leasing is restricted: a minimum of 6 months (182 days), allowed up to twice a year.

What to check before you buy

• Monthly cost, honestly. MLS-derived building data verified November 8, 2026 puts monthly dues at about $2,187 to $5,295, averaging about $3,923 a month (about $1.72 per sq ft per month) — though larger residences and penthouses run higher. Get the exact figure for the residence you are considering — and use the monthly-cost worksheet in the Buyer's Guide, not just the mortgage payment.
• Reserves and assessments. Ask what reserves are funded, what assessments are planned or already approved, and where the building stands on its Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS). Under Florida's SIRS rules, reserves for SIRS items are no longer waivable — but confirm this building's position with its association.
• Milestone inspection. Florida milestone inspection rules generally apply at 30 years, or 25 years within 3 miles of the coast. This is an oceanfront building completed in 2018, so on that rule its first milestone inspection would fall around 2043 — decades away — but confirm the building's milestone and SIRS status with the association rather than relying on a listing.
• Owner-occupancy ratio. Lenders check this ratio before approving a mortgage, so confirm the current figure with the association — a building heavy on rentals can block financing.
• Rentals. Leasing is limited (6-month minimum, twice a year per MLS-derived data). If you plan to rent the unit out, confirm the current leasing rules with the association before you buy.

Who this building suits

Jade Signature suits a buyer who values architecture and design as much as the address — and who wants a full-service tower with a smaller unit range than the newest mega-towers. It is the only one of the three towers here with one-bedroom residences, so it suits a wider range of buyers, from a first luxury pied-à-terre to a full penthouse. It is a poor fit for a buyer who wants the newest construction or the largest amenity program in the city.
