Sunny Isles Beach was known as North Miami Beach until 1931, then known as Sunny Isles until 1997.[8]
In 1936, Milwaukee malt magnate Kurtis Froedtert bought Sunny Isles.[9] The Sunny Isles Pier was built and soon became a popular destination. Sunny Isles developed slowly until the 1950s when the first single-family homes were built in the Golden Shores area. During the 1950s and 1960s more than 30 motels sprang up along Collins Avenue including the Ocean Palm, the first two-story motel in the U.S. Designed by Norman Giller in 1948 it was developed and owned by the Gingold family for the next 45 years and provided the springboard for Sunny Isles economic development. Tourists came from all over to vacation in themed motels of exotic design along "Motel Row".[7] One motel, The Fountainhead, was named by its owner Norman Giller after the novel by Ayn Rand.[10] As of 2013, the Ocean Palm Motel is closed.[citation needed]
In 1982 the half-mile-long Sunny Isles Pier was designated a historic site. In the early-mid 1980s, it went through restoration and re-opened to the public in 1986.[11] The pier was damaged severely in October 2005 by Hurricane Wilma. After eight years, it was remodeled and reopened as Newport Fishing Pier on June 15, 2013.[12]
In 1997, the citizens of the area voted to
