Bentley Residences is the tower where your car rides the elevator to your apartment. Sixty-two storeys on the sand at 18401 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, 216 residences, and four patented “Dezervator” car lifts that carry vehicles — with the driver still inside — straight to an in-unit garage.

It is genuinely under construction and genuinely financed, which separates it from a lot of what is marketed in this market. It has also slipped two years, and its published height and floor count still do not agree across sources. Everything below is dated and sourced.

What is being built at Bentley Residences?

A 62-storey oceanfront tower at 18401 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach, on a site of about 2.4 acres (the county folio lists 103,548 square feet and Florida YIMBY reported 2.37 acres on 4 March 2024; The Real Deal put the property at 3.6 acres on 5 November 2025, and I have not found a source that reconciles the two). It was formerly a five-storey Wyndham-branded hotel property that a Dezer affiliate bought for $6.8 million in 1996 (The Real Deal, 5 November 2025; the county record lists an August 1996 sale at $6,780,000). 216 residences from 5,256 to 6,333 square feet, three to five bedrooms. Every one has a private pool on the balcony and an in-unit garage.

Bentley Residences remaining inventory starts at $5.8 million (PROFILEmiami, 11 June 2026) with completion targeted for 2028, a timeline covered in what Bentley Residences costs to own.

Porsche Design Tower owners can park a car on any of the tower’s 57 floors, featured in Miami condos built for car enthusiasts.

Dezer Development (Gil Dezer) is the developer, Sieger Suarez Architects the architect, and Coastal Construction the general contractor. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing was hired in August 2023 to partner with Dezer’s in-house sales team, Dezer Platinum Realty (The Real Deal, 14 August 2023).

Bentley Motors is more than a logo here. Bentley’s own design department collaborated on the project and the brand identity runs through both interior and exterior. The most visible expression is the facade: diamond-quilt-patterned glass panels drawn from Bentley’s seat stitching, covering roughly half the exterior.

“The modern and progressive brand identity of Bentley Residences is at work in both the tower’s interior and exterior spaces, rooted in authenticity, sustainability and innovation.”

Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO, Bentley Motors — April 2021

Amenities run past 20,000 square feet — spa, cinema, whiskey bar, cigar lounge, beach club — and the residents-only restaurant is “Proper English by Todd English,” the chef’s first private residential dining venture (Florida YIMBY, 4 February 2026). The Real Deal had reported a private restaurant headed by English as part of the plan on 14 August 2023.

The Dezervator, Explained Properly

This is the reason the building exists, so it is worth getting right rather than repeating the brochure line.

Four Dezervators serve the tower, travelling at 800 feet per minute. Per Bentley’s own technical description, the system uses a hydraulic mechanism that “pinches a car by its tyres to pull it on top of a robotic shuttle system, which in turn transports a car up or down to the correct storey.” Vehicles carry RFID stickers; the system recognises the car and routes it to the right residence without the driver stepping out or pressing anything. An LED system guides you to the correct lift on arrival. The lower shaft is glass-enclosed, so the ride is a view rather than a box.

“Every unit features the patented Dezervator system which takes you and your car up to your apartment where your car sits right in your garage a few steps from your front door. No other building in the world offers that amenity.”

Gil Dezer, President, Dezer Development — January 2024

Garage capacity depends on exposure. Ocean-facing units get four cars; Intracoastal-facing units get three. The penthouse has a glass-enclosed in-unit garage with EV charging for up to seven. Every garage has in-unit EV charging. This was a direct response to Porsche Design Tower, where units had two spaces and buyers said they wanted more.

Two honest caveats. The system is described as “patented” in every source, but no patent number, filing date or assignee has ever been published — treat it as developer-asserted. And nothing has been published about load capacity, redundancy and failover, fire-code treatment, or how the shaft is protected in a hurricane. Those are reasonable questions for a system your car and your access depend on. Ask them.

Where Construction Actually Stands

Ground broke 26 February 2024. The mat foundation pour completed in November 2025 and, according to the developer’s press release as reported by Florida YIMBY on 19 November 2025, set a record: 36 continuous hours, 20,000 cubic yards of concrete, 2,100 truckloads, 2,400 tons of reinforcing steel, 10 concrete pumps — the largest residential construction pour in Florida and the second-largest foundation pour in the United States.

The superstructure passed Level 7 as of 11 June 2026, moving at roughly one floor every five to six working days (PROFILEmiami, 11 June 2026). Florida YIMBY reported on 6 August 2026 that it had advanced to approximately 13 stories by late July. That is about six floors in roughly eight weeks — my arithmetic on the two reports, one floor every six to seven working days, a little slower than the pace the developer cited in June.

“Going vertical is a meaningful milestone for Bentley Residences Miami and a testament to the strength of our vision and execution.”

Gil Dezer, President, Dezer Development — June 2026

Do the arithmetic on the delivery date, because it matters. At about 13 of 62 storeys in late July 2026, about 49 floors of structure remain. At the developer’s cited pace of one floor every five to six working days that is roughly 245 to 295 working days of structure alone; at the six to seven working days per floor that June to July implies, roughly 295 to 345 — in either case before facade, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fit-out. A 2028 delivery is achievable, but only at the optimistic end. That is my arithmetic on the published pace, not a forecast anyone has issued.

⚠️ The latest floor count I found is Florida YIMBY’s of 6 August 2026 (about 13 stories as of late July). I searched the trade press and the developer’s and Bentley Motors’ own sites on 24 September 2026 and found no newer construction report, so I do not have a floor count for 24 September 2026.

Pricing and How Much Has Sold

Remaining inventory from $5.8 million as of 11 June 2026 (PROFILEmiami), the same entry price reported in November 2025 (The Real Deal, 5 November 2025; Florida YIMBY, 19 November 2025). I have not found a newer price. The trajectory is worth seeing in full:

Date	Entry pricing
January 2022 — launch	$3.9M (Intracoastal) / $5.5M (ocean)
August 2023	from $5.3M–$5.6M
March 2024 — groundbreaking	$5.6M west / $8.3M east
November 2025 – June 2026	from $5.8M

The penthouse changed, and this is the one to ask about. In March 2024 the building was marketed with one penthouse of 24,000 square feet at $70 million. From June 2025 onward it has been two penthouses at $37.5 million each — the described one a two-storey, four-bedroom, seven-bath residence on the 61st floor with 22-foot ceilings and indoor and outdoor pools. Whether that is a redesign, a split or a repricing has never been explained. Ask directly. On sale status the reports differ: The Real Deal reported on 5 November 2025 that the two penthouses were asking $37.5 million each, while duPont REGISTRY reported on 13 November 2025 that both had sold at that price. I have not found a developer statement or a recorded deed for either, so I treat their status as unconfirmed.

No source has ever published a price per square foot for this building. Working from the entry price and the smallest unit gives roughly $1,100 per foot — but that is my calculation, not a published figure.

On absorption: Dezer estimated a total sellout of $1.2 billion when sales launched (The Real Deal, 14 August 2023). The building was over 40% sold in March 2024 (Florida YIMBY, 4 March 2024) and more than 50% presold in November 2025, according to the developer’s release (The Real Deal, 5 November 2025). That is roughly ten percentage points over twenty months. I have not found a sales figure newer than November 2025; the June and August 2026 construction updates gave none.

The Numbers That Do Not Agree

Three specifications on this building are genuinely unresolved across credible sources.

Height. 749 feet was used consistently from 2021. Then in November 2025 one outlet switched to 716 feet and has used it since — while another published 749 feet in the same fortnight. Nobody has explained the 33-foot difference.

Storeys. Published as 60 (2021), 62 (site plan 2021), 63 (2023), 62 (2023–24), 61 (2024–25), and 62 again in 2026. Bentley Motors’ own website says 61, and Bentley’s own newsroom places the penthouse on the 61st storey.

Interior designer. Michael Wolk Design was named at groundbreaking in March 2024. From June 2025 the credit is Bentley Home with Luxury Living Group. It is plausible Wolk did common areas and Bentley Home the residences — but no source says so, so treat it as contested.

None of these change whether the building gets built. They do tell you that project communications have not been internally consistent, which is worth knowing when you are relying on a spec sheet.

What to Watch Before You Sign

This is one of the better-positioned towers on the strip — real financing, real construction, a real record of delivery from this developer. These are still the questions I would ask.

1. Settlement, and this is the serious one. A University of Miami study reported in December 2024 (The Real Deal, 17 December 2024) measured nearly three dozen buildings from Miami Beach to Sunny Isles Beach between 2016 and 2023 and found them settling 2 to 8 centimetres, with the most significant effects in Sunny Isles Beach. Buildings named include Dezer’s own Porsche Design Tower, the Estates at Acqualina and Four Seasons at the Surf Club. The study’s senior author told The Real Deal it was not a cause for alarm and that the buildings are not going to collapse. That measurement period ended before Bentley broke ground in 2024, so Bentley Residences is not among the buildings it measured. Bentley comes into the December 2025 coverage instead. The Real Deal (5 December 2025), summarising a Miami Herald investigation, named it as a newer tower under construction, said experts find it difficult to determine how much newer towers will settle, and wrote that “no one is monitoring how towers settle and shift after they are completed.” The Herald (5 December 2025) also reported that the latest geotechnical report for Bentley Residences says its engineers expect settlement from the construction to affect the neighbouring Turnberry Ocean Club Residences and Sahara properties, and estimated the Turnberry could settle by about three inches; Dezer Development declined to be interviewed or answer written questions. Ask what monitoring, if any, is committed here.

2. Neighbour construction. In February 2026 Sunny Isles approved another 62-storey tower at 19051 Collins Avenue — co-developed by Related Group, Dezer and BH Group — over vocal resident opposition citing structural integrity, emergency access and post-Surfside safety concerns. Those developers agreed to monitor vibration and subsidence during construction and for a year afterward. I have not found a report of a comparable commitment for Bentley Residences. Expect adjacent construction across your delivery window.

3. There is precedent for neighbour damage claims involving this exact team. According to The Real Deal (10 October 2016), the Millennium condominium association sued Dezer Development, Coastal Construction and Sieger Suarez Architects over Porsche Design Tower, alleging sheet-piling vibrations cracked its lobby, garage and pool deck, with roughly $4 million claimed. I have not found a published source that reports how it ended. Same developer, same contractor, same architect.

4. The loan is fund debt, not bank debt. $630 million from Madison Realty Capital, announced when the developer said the project was more than 50% presold. Rate, term and extension options are not public. That is normal for this market — but understand that the sales pace and the debt are linked.

5. Deposit escrow. Florida Statute 718.202 governs it, and nothing has been published about the escrow arrangement here. Get the agreement.

6. Confirm the storey, the height and the penthouse configuration in your contract — not from marketing material, which has published four different floor counts.

Sunny Isles Around It

Sunny Isles Beach is roughly two miles of oceanfront carrying Miami’s densest concentration of branded towers — Porsche, St. Regis, Armani, Acqualina — and there is essentially no room to add more. That scarcity is the investment case, and the densification is the risk; both are real.

Comparable buildings on the strip: St. Regis Residences Sunny Isles and The Estates at Acqualina. The full pipeline is on the new construction page, with the wider market in Miami luxury condos.

If you want the current floor count, the sales position and the settlement question answered properly before you commit, start a conversation.

Bentley Residences Miami: frequently asked questions

I bought pre-construction at Bentley Residences. Can I sell before or at delivery?

It depends on your purchase agreement. Before closing, selling usually means assigning your contract to a new buyer, which developers often allow only with their written consent and sometimes for a fee, so read the assignment clause first. After closing it is an ordinary resale, priced against what similar homes in the building and nearby have actually closed for. If you bought at Bentley Residences and want to know what your unit could sell for at delivery, message Josh Stein on WhatsApp at (305) 695-8257.

How does the car elevator at Bentley Residences work?

Four “Dezervators” travel at 800 feet per minute. A hydraulic system pinches the car by its tyres and pulls it onto a robotic shuttle, which carries the vehicle to the resident’s floor. Cars carry RFID stickers so the system routes them automatically — the driver never gets out or presses a button. Ocean-facing units have four-car garages, Intracoastal-facing units three, all with EV charging.

Is Bentley Residences under construction?

Yes. Ground broke in February 2024, the mat foundation pour that the developer calls a record completed in November 2025, the superstructure passed Level 7 as of 11 June 2026, and Florida YIMBY reported it at approximately 13 stories as of late July 2026 (report of 6 August 2026). I found no newer construction report as of 24 September 2026.

When will Bentley Residences be completed?

2028. The date has slipped roughly two years — it was 2026 from announcement through 2023, became 2027 at groundbreaking, and has been 2028 since mid-2025. At about 13 of 62 floors in late July 2026, a 2028 delivery is achievable but requires the pace to hold. Bentley Motors’ own page, read 24 September 2026, still says 2027.

How much does a residence at Bentley Residences cost?

Remaining inventory starts at $5.8 million as of 11 June 2026 (PROFILEmiami), the same entry price reported in November 2025, up from $3.9 million at the January 2022 launch. The two penthouses were reported asking $37.5 million each in November 2025; one outlet reported both sold. No price per square foot has ever been published by a credible source.

How many floors does Bentley Residences have?

The honest answer is that sources disagree. The 2026 reports (Florida YIMBY, 4 June and 6 August) say 62; the figure has also been published as 60, 61 and 63, and Bentley Motors’ own website says 61. Height is published as both 749 feet and 716 feet. Confirm the number in your contract rather than from marketing material.

How much of Bentley Residences has sold?

More than 50% presold as of 5 November 2025, according to the developer’s release (The Real Deal). It was over 40% in March 2024, so roughly ten percentage points of absorption over twenty months. I have not found a newer sales figure.

Are Sunny Isles towers sinking, and does it affect Bentley Residences?

A University of Miami study reported in December 2024 found nearly three dozen high-rises from Miami Beach to Sunny Isles Beach settling 2 to 8 centimetres between 2016 and 2023, with the most significant effects in Sunny Isles Beach — including Dezer’s own Porsche Design Tower. Bentley Residences was not among the buildings measured; the study period ended before it broke ground. The Miami Herald reported on 5 December 2025 that the latest geotechnical report for Bentley expects settlement from its construction to affect the neighbouring Turnberry Ocean Club Residences and Sahara properties, and The Real Deal wrote the same day that no one is monitoring how towers settle after they are completed, which is a fair question to put to any developer on this strip.
