Bentley Residences—a bold collaboration between Bentley Motors and veteran developer Dezer Development—will soon reshape the Sunny Isles Beach skyline with a resort‑style, automotive‑infused tower that elevates luxury living to new heights.
Project Overview & Timeline
Set on a prime 2.4‑acre beachfront parcel at 18401 Collins Avenue, Bentley Residences is currently under construction after groundbreaking in early 2024, with two massive cranes erected in early 2025 to begin the superstructure phase. Scheduled for delivery in late 2027 or early 2028, the tower will soar 62 stories (749 feet)—making it the tallest residential oceanfront structure in the U.S.
Residences & Pricing
With 216 exclusive residences ranging from roughly 3,500 to over 9,000 ft², units start in the $4 million to $5.8 million range and climb to $15 million or more for penthouses. Each home features a private terrace (1,100 ft²+), outdoor pool, sauna, summer kitchen, outdoor shower, heated marble floors and Gaggenau appliances.
Unprecedented Amenities & Bentley Touches
Over three amenity-rich floors—totaling more than 20,000 ft²—residents will enjoy a cutting-edge gym, indoor/outdoor pools, a spa, cinema, cigar lounge, James Beard–quality restaurant led by Todd English, whiskey bar, glass-encased beauty salon, and even a private pet spa.
Most strikingly, each residence connects to four robotic “Dezervator” car elevators, delivering residents and their vehicles directly into landscaped sky garage foyers—a feature inspired by the Porsche Design Tower and tailored to Bentley’s automotive DNA. Interiors reflect Bentley’s craftsmanship and diamond‑woven motifs in every detail—chrome hardware, textured door handles, and bespoke furnishings from Bentley Home.
Impact on the Sunny Isles High‑Rise Market
Bentley Residences extends Gil Dezer’s track record of branded tower projects—following Trump, Ritz‑Carlton, Armani, and Porsche—in establishing Sunny Isles as the epicenter of ultra‑luxury real estate. Compared to nearby icons like Porsche Design and Trump Towers, Bentley’s blend of automotive features and extravagant finishes raises the bar for high‑end living on Collins Avenue.
This escalation in glamour and amenities encourages neighboring developers to innovate. New towers like the St. Regis Residences are integrating eco‑friendly glass and photovoltaic façades to maintain competitiveness. Yet Bentley’s scale, scope, and brand prestige may recalibrate market expectations—driving up average per‑square‑foot pricing and prompting other projects to incorporate similar “sky garage” concepts or Michelin‑tier hospitality services.
Sustainability & Structural Considerations
Engineered for Florida Green Building Council certification, Bentley incorporates environmentally mindful design and landscaping. However, development in this micro‑region is not without challenges: a recent satellite study flagged 35 new oceanfront high‑rises—including Sunny Isles projects—for gradual settling of 2‑8 cm (0.8‑3.1 in) between 2016–2023. Industry experts highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring and structural safeguards as these skyscrapers rise on sandy limestone foundations.
In Review
Bentley Residences is poised to redefine luxury living in Sunny Isles Beach. With its 2027‑2028 arrival, it brings a rare fusion of automotive grandeur, architectural ambition, and hospitality-level service. As the tallest beachfront tower in the United States, it won’t just enrich its residents’ lives—it will intensify competition, elevate standards, and magnify the global allure of Sunny Isles’ real estate landscape.
