Sunny Isles Beach is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, located in the northeast corner of Miami-Dade County. Part of the Miami metropolitan area, Sunny Isles Beach is a small , geographically constrained city between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway at the northern end of Biscayne Bay situated approximately halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. High-rise construction was spurred in part by coastal tourism demand in this already densely developed area. Despite the small size, Sunny Isles Beach ranks as the U.S. city with the fourteenth-most buildings exceeding heights of and the city in South Florida with the fifth-most high-rise buildings, following Miami, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and neighboring Aventura.

Sunny Isles Beach had very few skyscrapers until the 2000s, when many were constructed on the east side of Collins Avenue, on the beach adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. This strip historically consisted of a row of low rise hotels known as "Motel Row", mostly developed midcentury in the MiMo architectural style. Even among high-rises, the oldest such structures in the city only date to the 1960s. The wall of skyscrapers spans nearly the entire length of the city longitudinally, from the Ritz-Carlton Residences located near the border of Haulover Park to the south to Regalia located adjacent to the border of Golden Beach to the north, which has strict single family residential zoning.

Much of the development since 2000 has been led by Michael Dezer who has looked to build high-end residential buildings with branding licensed from prominent companies, such as Trump, Porsche, Ritz-Carlton, Armani, and Bentley. Some towers have been not only branded after car manufacturers but have incorporated car elevators that leading to "sky garages" with parking spaces next to residences within the tower Branding increases attractiveness to buyers and means units sell at higher prices, while the luxury construction and architectural design of some towers such as the Jade Signature have received architectural awards.

Most skyscrapers in Sunny Isles Beach are residential, with a few supporting hotels and restaurants; all of them are primarily concrete structurally. In general, the tallest height limit imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Sunny Isles Beach is Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL), due to the proximity of Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport to the west. Several towers rise to exactly this height, though the FAA reviews each building individually and some of the most recently completed and proposed towers exceed this height.
