At the top of Jade Beach, where Carlos Ott’s sweeping, organic architecture reaches its highest expression, the building’s penthouse collection offers something increasingly rare in Sunny Isles Beach: true penthouse scale and unobstructed oceanfront views at a price point meaningfully below the rest of the ultra-luxury market. For buyers who want the full penthouse experience without paying Jade Signature or St. Regis-level prices, Jade Beach’s upper floors deserve serious consideration.
This guide covers everything you need to know about Jade Beach penthouses — floor plans, views, pricing, and how they compare across the rest of the Jade Collection.
What Is a Jade Beach Penthouse?
The penthouses at Jade Beach occupy the uppermost floors of the 51-story tower at 17001 Collins Avenue — the highest residences in the building and among the largest floor plans Carlos Ott designed across the Jade Collection. Where the lower and middle floors of Jade Beach offer the building’s signature organic, sculptural architecture at a human scale, the penthouse floors expand that vision into genuinely grand proportions — wraparound terraces, soaring ceiling heights, and views that stretch across the full breadth of the Sunny Isles Beach coastline.
Jade Beach offers some of the largest penthouse floor plans in the entire Jade Collection — at up to 4,500 square feet, they exceed even Jade Ocean’s penthouse scale, trailing only Jade Signature’s significantly more expensive top-tier residences.

The Architecture at Penthouse Level
Carlos Ott’s design language at Jade Beach is defined by organic curves, warm materiality, and a sculptural form that flows with the rhythm of the coastline — and at the penthouse level, that architectural vision is given the most room to breathe. The building’s signature wraparound balconies reach their largest scale here, creating expansive outdoor living areas that wrap around multiple sides of each residence.
Where Jade Ocean’s penthouses are defined by sharp, transparent drama, Jade Beach’s penthouses feel warmer and more enveloping — a product of Ott’s softer massing and the building’s slightly earlier (2006) design vocabulary. The result is a penthouse experience that feels less like standing inside a glass sculpture and more like inhabiting an elevated, light-filled home suspended above the Atlantic.
Floor-to-ceiling glass throughout the penthouse floors maximizes the ocean and Intracoastal exposure, while the building’s rounded corner massing — a hallmark of Ott’s design — eliminates the harsh sightline interruptions found in more angular towers. The effect is a more continuous, panoramic view experience as you move through the residence.

The Views: What You Actually See From a Jade Beach Penthouse
East: The Atlantic Ocean
The eastern view from a Jade Beach penthouse is unobstructed oceanfront — direct sightlines to the Atlantic horizon with no neighboring towers interrupting the view. At the building’s height, the visual sweep of coastline extends north toward Jade Ocean and Jade Signature and south toward Bal Harbour, giving residents a genuine sense of the full Sunny Isles Beach corridor from above.
West: The Intracoastal Waterway
Many Jade Beach penthouse configurations capture meaningful Intracoastal exposure to the west, particularly in four-bedroom units with wraparound terrace coverage. The sunset view across the waterway and toward the Florida mainland is a defining feature for west-facing rooms and terrace zones.
North and South: The Jade Corridor and Beyond
Looking north from a Jade Beach penthouse, residents have a direct, close-proximity view of Jade Ocean and Jade Signature — the full Jade Collection corridor visible in sequence along Collins Avenue. To the south, the view extends toward Bal Harbour and the Miami Beach skyline, with downtown Miami visible in the distance on clear days.

Jade Beach Penthouse Pricing: 2026 Market
Jade Beach penthouses represent one of the strongest value propositions at the top of the Sunny Isles Beach market — delivering genuine penthouse scale and oceanfront prestige at prices meaningfully below comparable units at Jade Signature, St. Regis Residences, or Porsche Design Tower.
Current Penthouse Pricing (2026)
- Three-bedroom penthouses: $5M–$6.5M
- Four-bedroom penthouses: $6.5M–$8M+
- Price per square foot: approximately $1,400–$2,200 at the penthouse level
- Days on market: Jade Beach penthouse units are averaging 130–170 days in the current cycle, extended from the 30–60 day pace of 2021–2022
- Negotiating environment: Motivated penthouse sellers are open to meaningful price adjustments, furniture inclusion, and closing cost contributions in the current buyer’s market
What Drives Penthouse Pricing Within the Building
- Floor level — within the penthouse collection, higher floors command premiums of $150,000–$400,000+ over lower penthouse floors
- Terrace coverage — units with full wraparound terrace coverage on both ocean and Intracoastal sides command the top of the range
- Renovation level — Jade Beach’s 2006 vintage means many penthouses are due for renovation; fully updated units command a significant premium over original-finish units
- Corner position — true corner penthouse units with maximum dual exposure command meaningfully higher pricing than mid-building penthouse units
Jade Beach Penthouse vs. Standard High-Floor Units
For buyers weighing the penthouse premium against a high-floor standard unit:
What the penthouse premium buys at Jade Beach:
- Private elevator access
- Significantly larger floor plans (3,000–4,500 sq ft vs. 1,900–2,800 sq ft for standard 3-4BR units)
- Substantially larger terraces with wraparound coverage
- Maximum ceiling heights
- The prestige and resale premium of a designated penthouse address
For buyers seeking maximum value, Jade Beach’s penthouse-to-standard-unit price gap is narrower than at Jade Ocean or Jade Signature — making the penthouse upgrade a comparatively more accessible decision at this building.
Who Buys Jade Beach Penthouses?
Value-conscious ultra-luxury buyers — buyers who want genuine penthouse scale and oceanfront prestige without paying the premium commanded by Jade Signature, St. Regis, or Porsche Design Tower
Investors targeting long-term appreciation — Jade Beach’s lower entry point relative to its penthouse scale creates an attractive basis for buyers focused on long-term capital appreciation rather than rental yield at this tier
Latin American and domestic buyers — Jade Beach’s established 20-year ownership history and broad international buyer base extend to its penthouse tier, drawing buyers from Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and the Northeast U.S.
Upgrade buyers within the building — existing Jade Beach owners moving up within a building they already know and trust
Renovation-minded buyers — buyers willing to invest in updating an original-finish penthouse to capture significant value compared to move-in-ready units at newer buildings

Jade Beach vs. Jade Ocean Penthouse: Jade Beach offers slightly larger maximum floor plans (up to 4,500 sq ft vs. Jade Ocean’s 4,200 sq ft) at a modestly lower price point. Jade Ocean wins on architectural drama and flow-through consistency; Jade Beach wins on raw scale and value.
Jade Beach vs. Jade Signature Penthouse: The gap here is substantial — Jade Signature’s penthouses are larger, newer, and priced more than double Jade Beach’s range. For buyers whose budget reaches Jade Signature territory, that building represents a different category entirely. For buyers targeting $5M–$8M, Jade Beach offers the strongest penthouse value in the Jade Collection.
