Q: How much does a unit at Jade Signature cost?

It varies by line, floor, exposure and size, from several million dollars to far higher figures in the upper floors and penthouses. Current pricing shows in the live inventory.

Jade Signature is the tower the Swiss studio Herzog & de Meuron —two-time Pritzker laureates— chose for its first residential building in the United States, developed by Fortune International Group on the Sunny Isles beachfront. It is not just another tower on the corridor: it is a piece of signature architecture, completed in 2018, with a small and sought-after resale market.

It is 192 residences across 57 floors on the Atlantic. The building's signature is structural: Herzog & de Meuron exposed the concrete skeleton —their "bones" concept— and extended each slab outward so the terraces add roughly 30% to the interior area, with no railings to break the view. The floor plate was turned into a parallelogram to reduce the shadow on the beach and give each unit more sun and ocean. Interiors are by Pierre-Yves Rochon and the landscape by the master Raymond Jungles.

For today's buyer what matters is not the original brochure but the secondary market: which units owners are reselling, at what price per square foot, and what the tower offers for rent. This page orders that —live inventory for sale and for rent, how to read value, and the buying process— so you reach the offer with judgment.

What makes the tower different

Jade Signature's value is not just the address: it is being finished signature architecture, scarce and irreplaceable on the corridor. Among what defines it:

Herzog & de Meuron signature its only residential building in the United States: exposed concrete structure, terraces that extend the slab, and flow-through plans designed for sun and ocean.
Private beachfront on the Atlantic in Sunny Isles, with a beach club, pools and gardens by Raymond Jungles, and interiors by Pierre-Yves Rochon.
Destination amenities spa and wellness, an oceanfront gym, a children's lounge, a cinema and a service program that sustains resale value.
Established Sunny Isles minutes from Bal Harbour Shops and Aventura Mall, on the branded-tower corridor that anchors international demand.

Live building inventory

These are the units available for sale RIGHT NOW, filtered to the building on the MLS. The list updates on its own. Each card opens the full MLS detail with photos and data.

Inventory provided by the MLS through MIAMInmobiliario's IDX platform, with its notices and terms. If you see no units, there is currently nothing listed on the MLS for that filter: leave your details and we'll alert you the moment one comes up.

How the value reads: view, floor and line

In a one-of-a-kind building, two units of the same size can be worth very different amounts. Three variables explain almost the entire price difference:

The view

Not every orientation is worth the same. Direct-ocean residences —east exposure— command the premium; those facing the Intracoastal and the city trade below, though they get the sunsets. In a tower of flow-through plans, how cleanly the unit crosses from ocean to bay also matters. Before comparing prices, you have to compare exposures.

The floor

Price per square foot rises with height: more light, less obstruction and, on the high floors, the best view. The value jump between the mid-rise and the upper floors is usually larger than the square footage suggests.

The line

Each line —the stack of units sharing a position on the floor plate— has its own terrace and exposure. Knowing which line you're looking at, and its resale equivalent, is the difference between paying market and overpaying. This is where an advisor who knows the building adds real value.

The resale thesis

Buying in resale, rather than preconstruction, changes the risk profile. Construction and delivery risk disappear: the tower is built, delivered in 2018, and the unit is physical. In exchange, you compete for scarcer inventory —Jade Signature rarely has many units for sale at once— and the price already carries the finished-product and architect-signature premium.

The right question is not whether Jade Signature is good —it is— but whether the specific unit is well bought: price per square foot against the building's recent sales, the quality of the line and exposure, and the margin against what that unit would ask in rent. For the investor dollarizing into a trophy asset —signature architecture, beachfront and rental liquidity— a well-chosen unit combines scarcity, brand and a building impossible to replicate on the same shoreline.

Buying process for the foreign buyer

You need no visa, residency or citizenship to buy in Miami. What's worth understanding before you make an offer:

Structure: in your name or through an LLC

In your personal name there is exposure to U.S. estate tax —an exemption of only US$60,000 for non-residents— which is why many foreign buyers acquire through a Florida LLC, sometimes with a holding company above. It is not always worth it: it depends on the amount, the use and your estate. Define it with your accountant before closing, and it helps to first understand buying in Miami as a foreigner.

Financing: the non-resident does qualify

You can buy all-cash or with a foreign national loan —typically 30%–40% down, a slightly higher rate and documentation your bank or accountant can assemble—. Many buy cash and weigh refinancing later.

FIRPTA: the withholding when the seller is foreign

In resale, many sellers are also foreign. FIRPTA requires the buyer to withhold a percentage of the price (typically 15%) toward the seller's tax. It costs you nothing as the buyer, but it affects closing and is a negotiating lever best handled with the closing agent.
