The study, led by scientists at the University of Miami, found 35 buildings from Golden Beach to Miami Beach sank as much as three inches between 2016 and 2023.
The sinking buildings — which together accommodate tens of thousands of residents and tourists — include the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Trump Tower III, Trump International Beach Resorts and the iconic Surf Club Towers.
Nearly 70% of buildings are sinking in northern and central Sunny Isles Beach, according to the study.
