A Brief History of Sunny Isles Beach and Where It’s Headed

 

The year 1920 marks the beginning of this affluent resort community. Private investor Harvey Baker Graves purchased a 2.26 square-mile tract of land in 1920 to develop as a tourist resort. He christened it Sunny Isles – The Venice of America. This premier neighborhood initially came to be known as North Miami Beach, then changed to Sunny Isles in 1931 and was finally renamed Sunny Isles Beach in 1997 after a vote from its citizens incorporated it as a municipality.

The completion of the Haulover Bridge in 1925 made the barrier island more accessible from Miami Beach. Developers started pouring in and widening streams, digging canals and inlets as well as creating islands and peninsulas in order to build waterfront properties on Biscayne Bay. However, it was soon time for Sunny Isles Beach to change hands as Milwaukee malt magnate Kurtis Froedtert would buy it in 1936.

Soon after, the Sunny Isles Pier was built and became a popular destination. The serene neighborhood developed slowly until the 1950s, with single-family homes being limited to the Golden Shores area. However, it was during the 1950s and 60s that development picked up, brining 30 motels, including the Ocean Palm, along Collins Avenue. The Ocean Palm was owned by the Gingold family for the next four-and-a-half decades and can be credited as the springboard for the waterfront neighborhood’s economic development. It charmed tourists from across the world to vacation in the themed destinations of “Motel Row”.

By 1982, the Sunny Isles Pier was declared a historic site. It would need restoration in the early-mid 80s, but re-opened in 1986. 2005’s Hurricane Wilma severely damaged the half-mile pier, which took 8 years to be remodeled and opened in 2013 as the Newport Fishing Pier of today.

After incorporation in 1997, Sunny Isles Beach would be hit by the real estate boom of the early 2000s. This glorious era brought a wave of development that sadly swept out most of the historic single- and two-story motels along Collins Avenue, but made way for stunning, new luxury high-rise condo buildings and hotels. What followed was unprecedented growth that would leave its mark on today and continue well into the future. The addition of ultra-luxury high-rises with astounding amenities, world-class restaurants and better shopping options has got Sunny Isles Beach under the spotlight of local and foreign investors along with tourists. So, it would only be fair to say that the future of Sunny Isles Beach is bright and sunny.
