The skyscraper broke ground in early 2024 and is anticipated to be completed in 2028.

Architectural Elegance and Unmatched Amenities
The Bentley Residences boasts a striking design, with its glass façade mimicking the iconic diamond quilting found in Bentley interiors. Each of the 216 residences offers expansive living spaces, ranging from 5,256 to 6,333 square feet. Pricing for these exclusive homes begins at $5.8 million, with the two penthouses listed at $37.5 million each.
Residents will enjoy a suite of five-star amenities, including a private restaurant curated by award-winning chef Todd English, a whiskey bar, a cigar lounge, a cinema, a spa, an oceanfront beauty salon, and a fitness center. Additionally, a landscaped beach club with cabanas provides direct access to the ocean.
The "Dezervator" and Car Enthusiast’s Dream
A standout feature of the Bentley Residences is the "Dezervator," a patented hydraulic elevator system developed by Dezer Development. This innovative technology allows residents to drive their vehicles directly into their private sky garage, located on their residential floor, without ever leaving their car. Each apartment is designed to accommodate up to four cars, with additional parking available for collectors.
This concept was first introduced in the nearby Porsche Design Tower, another Dezer Development project, which allowed residents to park two cars in their units. The Bentley Residences elevates this offering, catering to the strong car culture in Sunny Isles Beach.
A Landmark in Sunny Isles Beach
Sunny Isles Beach, known for its collection of luxury skyscrapers along its 2.4 miles of coastline, is embracing the Bentley Residences as a new landmark. Mayor Larisa Svechin highlighted the building’s iconic status, stating it will further enhance the city’s reputation as an international destination for luxury living.
While not the tallest building in Miami-Dade County, which is currently topped by the Panorama Tower and soon the Okan Tower, the Bentley Residences is distinguished by its luxury and unique features. The development is also notable for its record-breaking foundation construction, which involved the largest concrete pour in Florida history and the second largest in the U.S., utilizing over 20,000 cubic yards of concrete supported by piles reaching over 170 feet deep.
