Pinnacle has the most recognizable silhouette on this stretch of Collins Avenue: a 40-story oceanfront tower at 17555 Collins Avenue, completed in 1998 by J. Milton & Associates and designed by Fullerton Diaz, with a stepped, descending profile that sets it apart from the flat-topped slabs around it. Inside, the 243 residences were designed for light and air, many are flow-through layouts with balconies on both the east and west sides, so owners watch the sunrise over the Atlantic and the sunset over the Intracoastal from the same home. Floor-to-ceiling tinted glass, marble floors, and 1,590 to 4,020 square feet...
Pinnacle has the most recognizable silhouette on this stretch of Collins Avenue: a 40-story oceanfront tower at 17555 Collins Avenue, completed in 1998 by J. Milton & Associates and designed by Fullerton Diaz, with a stepped, descending profile that sets it apart from the flat-topped slabs around it. Inside, the 243 residences were designed for light and air, many are flow-through layouts with balconies on both the east and west sides, so owners watch the sunrise over the Atlantic and the sunset over the Intracoastal from the same home. Floor-to-ceiling tinted glass, marble floors, and 1,590 to 4,020 square feet of space come standard, and the amenity package covers a heated oceanfront pool, tennis courts, a full-service spa, a renovated fitness center, and 24-hour concierge and valet. For buyers who want a proven building with real square footage, Pinnacle is the established value on the oceanfront.
Most Sunny Isles towers are vertical extrusions, the same floor plate repeated to the roof. Pinnacle’s descending, stepped massing breaks that monotony, creating terraces and setbacks that give the building its distinctive profile from the beach and the causeway. It’s a late-90s design move that aged into character: the tower is instantly identifiable, which helps resale recognition in a crowded market.
Pinnacle’s dual-exposure layouts are the everyday payoff. Morning coffee on the east balcony over the Atlantic, evening drinks on the west balcony over the Intracoastal waterway, from the same residence, without leaving home. Combined with 24-hour concierge, valet, and a location minutes from Aventura Mall and Bal Harbour, it’s a complete package for full-time oceanfront living at established-building prices.
Pinnacle's oceanfront position lands residents in the middle of the island's daily circuit. The beach is out front, Samson Oceanfront Park sits a short drive north, and Milam's Market on Collins covers groceries. Dining runs from Timo ($$$) to Il Mulino ($$$$), with Aventura Mall minutes west and Bal Harbour Shops south for the luxury tier. Haulover Park's marina is close for boaters. Buyers who like Pinnacle's scale also tour Sands Pointe and Parque Towers.
Flow-through units span the building from east to west, with balconies on both sides. That means ocean views from the living areas, Intracoastal and sunset views from the bedrooms, and genuine cross-ventilation, a layout advantage most newer towers, which stack single-exposure units, simply don’t offer.
Yes. Pinnacle’s MLS records show active rentals in the building with minimum lease terms around 180 days and up to two leases per year. The rental market here is steady thanks to the location and the unit sizes. Confirm current association rules, approval timelines, and fees before buying as an investment.
Pinnacle’s heated oceanfront pool with full poolside service, private beach with attendants, tennis courts, full-service spa and sauna, a newly renovated gym, a children’s playroom, 24-hour concierge, complimentary valet, and on-call housekeeping. The lobby itself was redesigned by Kobi Karp, giving the 1998 arrival a contemporary polish.
Pinnacle compares favorably, two- to six-bedroom plans from about 1,590 to 4,020 square feet, well above what new Sunny Isles towers deliver per bedroom. If square footage per dollar is the priority, the 1998 vintage is a feature, not a compromise.
Yes, the building is pet-friendly. Verify current weight limits and registration requirements with the association, since policies can be updated.
