Jade Ocean Sunny Isles Beach Floor Plans | 12 Configurations from 1 to 5 BR Guide
Jade Ocean Sunny Isles Beach — Floor Plans
At 17121 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, Jade Ocean is the middle tower of Fortune International Group's Jade Collection — the three-building series that begins with Jade Residences at Brickell Bay (2004) and culminates with Jade Signature (2018). Developed by Fortune International Group, designed by Carlos Ott — the same architect whose work appears in this MPE series at Turnberry Ocean Club Residences and Echo Brickell, and who designed the adjacent Jade Beach directly to the south — with interiors by Britto Charette, Jade Ocean was completed in 2009 as a 52-story all-glass tower with 256 residences across 12 distinct floor plan configurations, including six penthouse designs on the upper floors.
The building's most immediately distinctive physical feature is its oceanfront entrance and driveway on the east side of the building — an arrival from the ocean side rather than the Collins Avenue street side. This east-facing entry is Carlos Ott's deliberate architectural inversion of the conventional condo tower approach: rather than arriving from Alton Road or Collins Avenue and looking toward the ocean, Jade Ocean residents arrive from the ocean side, moving through the entrance, past the three-story lobby with direct ocean views, and through the cascading waterfall that descends in a tropical setting from the pool deck to the beach. It is one of the most theatrical residential arrival sequences in the Sunny Isles Beach market and a feature referenced in virtually every description of the building.
Current resale pricing ranges from approximately $1.150 million to $6.5 million across the standard collection, with penthouses priced above that range.

The Jade Collection Context — Three Buildings, One Developer Vision
Jade Ocean is the second of three buildings in Fortune International Group's Jade Collection — and understanding where Jade Ocean sits within this progression is the most useful context for any buyer evaluating the building:
Jade Residences at Brickell Bay (2004) established the Jade Collection's foundational floor plan DNA: generous square footage, Italian kitchen specification, and a bayfront Brickell address at the beginning of the neighborhood's ultra-luxury transition. Jade Ocean (2009) translated that DNA to a Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront site with Carlos Ott's glass tower language, an oceanfront arrival sequence, and a 12-configuration floor plan menu that covers the full spectrum from investment-accessible one-bedrooms to five-bedroom penthouse configurations. Jade Signature (2018) is the collection's architectural pinnacle — Herzog & de Meuron, Pritzker Prize architecture, and the most critically celebrated design in the collection.
Buyers who have purchased or considered Jade Residences Brickell Bay will find Jade Ocean immediately recognizable in its finish philosophy and developer approach — and buyers who aspire to Jade Signature's price point but want current Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront value at a more accessible entry will find Jade Ocean the natural stepping stone within the same developer family.
1 Bedroom Residences — 1,090 to 1,495 Square Feet
One-bedroom floor plans are available in two configurations at Jade Ocean:
1 BR / 1.5 BA at 1,090 SF: The building's entry configuration and most accessible resale price point at approximately $1.4 million. At 1,090 square feet with Carlos Ott's floor-to-ceiling glass specification and direct Atlantic Ocean views, the Jade Ocean one-bedroom delivers a view quality and finish standard that most Sunny Isles Beach buildings reserve for their two-bedroom tier.
1 BR + Den / 2 BA at 1,495 SF: The den configuration adds a dedicated secondary space — usable as an office, media room, or overflow sleeping area — expanding the one-bedroom's functional range to near-two-bedroom territory at a one-bedroom operating cost. Active listing data confirms this configuration in the current Jade Ocean resale market at a price point accessible enough to attract investors and pied-à-terre buyers simultaneously.
Every one-bedroom and above at Jade Ocean includes:
- Floor-to-ceiling glass throughout all principal rooms
- Gourmet kitchen with marble and granite surfaces
- Spa-like primary bathroom with marble and granite finishes
- Private balcony with Atlantic Ocean or Intracoastal views
- Access to the full Jade Ocean amenity program including the oceanfront pool deck, spa, private cinema, and beach club
2 Bedroom + Den Residences — 1,923 Square Feet
A single two-bedroom configuration is confirmed in the Jade Ocean floor plan program — 2 BR + Den / 3 BA at 1,923 interior square feet. The den inclusion at the two-bedroom level follows the same floor plan philosophy as the one-bedroom-plus-den: a third habitable space within a two-bedroom footprint, adding flexibility for families, guest accommodation, or dedicated workspace without the HOA and operating cost step-up of a three-bedroom plan. At 1,923 square feet, the Jade Ocean two-bedroom-plus-den is among the most generously proportioned two-bedroom configurations available in the Sunny Isles Beach resale market.
3 Bedroom Residences — 2,617 to 2,843 Square Feet
Two distinct three-bedroom configurations exist within the Jade Ocean floor plan program — a meaningful distinction that buyers must identify in specific listing data before evaluating:
3 BR / 3.5 BA at 2,617 SF: The first three-bedroom configuration at 2,617 interior square feet — 3.5 bathrooms, the building's standard floor level range, and one of the most active resale tiers by transaction frequency.
3 BR / 3.5 BA at 2,843 SF: A second three-bedroom configuration at 2,843 interior square feet — 226 square feet larger than the first configuration at the same bedroom count. This is the floor plan distinction that makes individual unit evaluation at Jade Ocean essential: two units listed as "3 BR / 3.5 BA" at the same floor may be 226 square feet apart in actual interior size. The larger 2,843 SF configuration is the more sought-after of the two and consistently commands a premium in the resale market.
Both three-bedroom configurations include the full Jade Ocean marble and granite specification, floor-to-ceiling glass, and private balconies. The building's "most of the rooms have incredible views" design principle — a specific Jade Ocean floor plan characteristic confirmed in building documentation — means that at the three-bedroom scale, principal rooms beyond the living area (bedrooms, dining room, kitchen) are also positioned to capture water views rather than being oriented inward toward the corridor.
4 Bedroom Residences — 3,416 Square Feet
The four-bedroom standard configuration at 3,416 interior square feet with 4.5 bathrooms is the building's most expansive single-floor standard floor plan. At this square footage with Carlos Ott's all-glass perimeter structure, the four-bedroom Jade Ocean residence delivers a living environment that is genuinely competitive — on view quality, spatial scale, and finish standard — with four-bedroom offerings at buildings that were delivered ten years later at significantly higher price points. Active listing descriptions for four-bedroom Jade Ocean units consistently reference panoramic ocean, Intracoastal, and city views from multiple rooms simultaneously — a reflection of Ott's floor plate design orienting rooms toward water from multiple angles rather than concentrating views in a single primary direction.
The Upper Floor Plans — Floors 44 to 45
Three expanded floor plan configurations are specifically available on floors 44 and 45 — the building's pre-penthouse upper residential levels, where the floor plate geometry and the view corridor are at their most expansive:
3 BR + Den / 3.5 BA — 3,187 SF interior + 515 SF terrace: The first of the upper-floor expanded plans, delivering a 3,187 SF interior with a dedicated den at floors 44–45.
4 BR + Den / 4.5 BA — 4,061 SF interior + 835 SF terrace: The building's most substantive mid-tier configuration — 4,061 interior square feet at floors 44–45 with 835 square feet of terrace. At combined indoor-outdoor living of nearly 5,000 square feet, the upper-floor four-bedroom-plus-den configuration at Jade Ocean approaches the scale of the building's lower penthouse tier.
5 BR + Den / 5.5 BA — 4,526 SF interior + 1,015 SF terrace: The largest upper-floor configuration at 4,526 interior square feet and over 1,000 square feet of terrace on floors 44–45. Five bedrooms plus a dedicated den at the building's upper residential floors, with 5,541 combined indoor-outdoor square footage — the scale of a private estate floor plan deployed at the top of a 52-story Carlos Ott all-glass tower on the Sunny Isles oceanfront.
The Six Penthouse Designs — Crown Collection
Six distinct penthouse configurations crown Jade Ocean's upper floors, extending the floor plan range to 8,332 interior square feet — the building's most significant floor plans. The six penthouse designs vary in bedroom count, interior square footage, and terrace proportions, with balconies described as spanning "from just above 500 square feet to expansive outdoor space into the thousands of square feet" across the penthouse range. At the 8,332 SF crown, the penthouse delivers a residential scale competitive with penthouse offerings at the neighboring Jade Signature and the Acqualina campus buildings, at resale pricing that is meaningfully more accessible than either.
The six penthouse design variety is a specific Jade Ocean distinction — not all large towers offer six distinct penthouse floor plans, and the range available here allows buyers at the crown level to select a configuration calibrated to their specific lifestyle requirements rather than adapting to a single penthouse template.
The Carlos Ott All-Glass Design — L'Opéra Bastille at 17121 Collins
Carlos Ott (1946–2022) was the Uruguayan-born architect whose career produced some of the most recognized all-glass structures in international architecture — most notably the Opéra de la Bastille in Paris, which upon its 1989 opening established Ott as one of the world's leading proponents of glass as a primary architectural material. At Jade Ocean, Ott applied the same all-glass language he refined in Paris, Beijing's National Grand Theater, and multiple other international commissions to a 52-story oceanfront tower in Sunny Isles Beach.
The curved glass façade — no flat planes, no visible structural expression from the exterior — wraps the building's perimeter in a continuous reflective surface that changes character throughout the day as it picks up the color and light quality of the Atlantic Ocean, the sky, and the surrounding building context. The result is a building that does not have a fixed appearance — it looks different at sunrise, at midday, at dusk, and at night, a quality that Ott described in his architectural philosophy as the building's relationship with its natural environment.
Within the residences, the all-glass perimeter produces the floor plan characteristic that is most consistently praised in Jade Ocean resale listings: floor-to-ceiling glass in every principal room, without the visible structural columns that interrupt views in conventionally framed towers. The building's glass reaches from the floor slab to the ceiling throughout every exterior-facing room — not floor-to-ceiling-approximate glass interrupted by a column at the corner, but actual floor-to-ceiling glass across the full curved perimeter of each floor plan.
The Oceanfront Entrance and Waterfall Lobby — Carlos Ott's Arrival Sequence
Jade Ocean's east-facing oceanfront driveway and entrance is one of the most architecturally deliberate design decisions in any building on the Sunny Isles Beach corridor. Nearly every other luxury tower on Collins Avenue arrives from the west — from the street — with residents and guests driving past the building's parking structure before reaching the lobby entrance. Jade Ocean's driveway wraps around the building's south and north sides to approach from the east, delivering arrivals through a dramatic oceanfront entry where the first visual experience of the building is not the street façade but the building rising from the beach.
The three-story lobby with direct Atlantic Ocean views and the cascading waterfall descending from the pool deck to the beach level are the interior extensions of this arrival philosophy — the lobby functions as a visual gateway between the street approach and the beach, with the waterfall's movement and sound connecting the arrival experience to the natural environment that the building is positioned to maximize. For residents who return home daily through this sequence, the arrival at Jade Ocean is consistently described as meaningfully different from the standard Sunny Isles Beach lobby experience — a deliberate design outcome rather than an incidental one.
Britto Charette Interior Standard — All Residences
Britto Charette — the Miami-based interior design firm founded by David Charette and Jay Britto — brought a contemporary tropical modernist design vocabulary to Jade Ocean's residences that connects the building's all-glass Ott architecture to its South Florida beachfront context. The firm's approach at Jade Ocean emphasizes:
- Marble and granite surfaces throughout kitchens and bathrooms — natural stone as the primary material expression connecting the interior to the building's natural setting
- Gourmet kitchen configuration with integrated appliances and stone countertops
- Spa-like primary bathrooms with marble finishes, generous layouts, and premium fixtures
- Wide open terraces proportioned as outdoor living rooms rather than conventional balconies
- Soaring windows maximizing abundant ocean views and Florida sunshine throughout all principal rooms
The Full Amenity Program
- Oceanfront infinity-edge pools — both sunrise (east-facing) and sunset (west-facing) pools, capturing Atlantic Ocean views on one exposure and Intracoastal Waterway and city views on the other simultaneously within the same amenity deck
- Private cinema — a resident-dedicated screening room
- Wellness spa and sauna
- State-of-the-art fitness center
- Private beach club with direct oceanfront access
- Concierge services and 24-hour security
- Valet parking
- Walking distance to Aventura Mall and Bal Harbour Shops
The Jade Collection — Jade Ocean's Place in the Three-Tower Legacy
Jade Ocean's position in the Jade Collection — between Jade Residences Brickell Bay and Jade Signature — is the most useful single frame for understanding the building's value proposition in the current resale market.
Jade Residences Brickell Bay (2004) is the collection's Brickell entry — a 48-story bay waterfront tower with Fortune International's foundational specification standard, an integrated cappuccino maker in every kitchen, and an active resale market from $416,000.
Jade Ocean (2009) is the collection's Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront expression — Carlos Ott's all-glass design, the oceanfront entrance, 12 floor plan configurations, and direct Atlantic Ocean frontage, with a resale market from $1.4 million.
Jade Signature (2018) is the collection's architectural pinnacle — Herzog & de Meuron, Pritzker Prize, flow-through floor plans in a building that architectural critics have described as the finest residential design in South Florida. Jade Signature's entry resale currently begins at $3.35 million.
For buyers who want the Jade brand's developer pedigree, Fortune International Group's construction quality, and a Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront address at pricing below Jade Signature's entry point — Jade Ocean is the specific building in the collection that answers that search.
