A South Florida developer is proposing a new 46-story luxury condo tower for a 2.3 acres oceanfront site in Sunny Isles Beach, according to a new report from CondoVultures.com.

The proposed 79-unit Mansions at Acqualina – immediately south of the existing Acqualina Ocean Residences & Resort condo at 17885 Collins Ave. – is slated to be constructed at 17749 Collins Ave. in Northeast Miami-Dade County, according to an application filed with the city of Sunny Isles Beach.

The proposed Mansion at Acqualina with nearly 427,000 square feet is scheduled to be discussed at upcoming city of Sunny Isles Beach zoning hearing on Dec. 22, 2011, according to a public notice advertised in the Miami Herald.

The newly proposed Mansions at Acqualina is one of the four condo towers planned for Sunny Isles Beach, according to recent issues of the Market Intelligence Report.

In addition to the four proposed towers in Sunny Isles Beach, developers are planning 10 new towers in Greater Downtown Miami, two new towers in Miami Beach, two new towers in Downtown West Palm Beach, one project in the Miami-Dade County city of Aventura, and one project on the sand in the city of Hollywood in Southeast Broward County, according to a recent CondoVultures.com report.

Developers are proceeding with plans for the new projects despite about 4,700 new units from the last South Florida real estate boom still remaining unsold as of Sept. 30, 2011, according to a recent CondoVultures.com report.

Wow! I didn't see it coming. Is that on Collins Ave/A1A? I didn't realize know that. Must be growing more. It will getting more extremely overcrowded who came in South Florida. Because it was too many cruise passengers who came in FLL/MIA. South Florida is a very popular leisure vacation trip.

Oh, yes. I remember where it is. Why I haven't been down there for a long time. I do miss them alots. It was so much changed. Is that reason why? They constructed more new condo, hotel & residence and office building, too.

To show how tall and thin this will be, it will be nearly 100 feet taller than the building behind it here:

About 2/3 of the way up. Will end up being about 100 feet taller than the building on the left.
