The city, the site, the tower, the car lift, the residences and the numbers behind Bentley Residences, compiled by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer documents.
Written by the desk at Miami Dossier, which holds the developer brochure and the floor plans for Bentley Residences, for readers who want the facts of the building rather than the adjectives. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese. All notes from the desk.
This is the reference note. It is the building described plainly, from the ground up, with the figures we can attribute to the developer documents and nothing we cannot. The desk at Miami Dossier keeps it current as the release changes. A companion note on the practical decisions is linked at the end.
Sunny Isles Beach is a city of its own on the barrier island north of Bal Harbour and Haulover Inlet, with the ocean on the east and the Intracoastal on the west. Its skyline is the tallest oceanfront row in South Florida, and Aventura, with its mall and marinas, is immediately across the water.
A 2.4-acre oceanfront site with approximately 200 feet of sand.
Sixty-three storeys and approximately 710 feet, designed by Bentley Motors with Sieger Suarez Architects. The facade is composed of diamond-shaped glass panels, drawn from the motif that runs through every Bentley product.
Your situation is specific. Tell the desk in one message and we will say what applies to you, what does not, and who to speak with.
Four robotic high-speed car lifts carry the vehicle, with the owner inside it, to a private sky garage in each residence. The developer's precedent is the car lift at the Porsche Design Tower in the same city.
Approximately 216 oceanfront homes. Each has a private three or four car garage inside the plan, a private heated pool with raised sundeck, a summer kitchen with Gaggenau, ten-foot ceilings, and a sauna in the primary bath. Kitchens are Gaggenau throughout with Italian cabinetry and motorised doors. The primary bath has heated floors and a freestanding tub. Closets are walk-in with a built-in safe. Entry is through a private elevator foyer and an eight-foot double door.
Custom hardware carrying the Bentley diamond. Stone floors and walls in the baths, a behind-mirror television, a towel warmer. The plans are arranged around the garage, so the terrace, pool and living space sit around it rather than beside it.
Over approximately 20,000 square feet across three levels, furnished by Bentley Home: a three-storey lobby with ocean views, a lobby restaurant under 33-foot glass, a whiskey bar, a 16-seat private dining room, a 14-seat theatre, a cigar lounge, a spa and a pet spa, a beauty salon, a simulator game room, and an oceanfront pool with ten cabanas.
Dezer Development, the most prolific developer of oceanfront towers in Sunny Isles Beach.
2.4 oceanfront acres. Approximately 200 feet of sand. Sixty-three storeys. Approximately 710 feet. Approximately 216 residences. Four car lifts. Three or four car garages in every home. A private pool in every home. Ten-foot ceilings. Over approximately 20,000 square feet of amenity. Figures are from the developer documents and are approximate; confirm anything material against the current release.
The desk at Miami Dossier holds the official Bentley Residences brochure, the floor plans by line, and the current release. We do not represent the developer and we hold no position in the building. When we are not certain of a figure we say so, and when the release changes we update this note.

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about Bentley Residences Sunny Isles are not only choosing a building. They are moving to Miami from New York, California, London, Bogotá, Mexico City or São Paulo, or adding a Miami position to a portfolio held elsewhere, and the building question sits inside a larger one: how to buy new construction in Miami, how to hold it, and what changes when you do.
The desk keeps short notes on the parts that come up every week: how buying preconstruction in Miami actually works, what a normal deposit schedule looks like, whether you need to be in Miami to buy, whether a foreign buyer can get a mortgage, what taxes a foreign buyer pays on a Miami condo, and the Florida state income tax question for anyone relocating from a high-tax state. For buyers arriving from a specific market there are notes for Bogotá, Mexico City and London, and a broader one on why so many wealthy families are moving to Miami.
Read the ones that apply, then bring the rest to the desk at Miami Dossier. It usually takes one conversation to see how Bentley Residences Sunny Isles fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.
This note is general information for people considering Miami, written by a real estate desk, not by a law or accounting firm. Nothing here is legal, tax, immigration or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own circumstances. Rules change, treaties differ by country, and the right answer for one family is the wrong answer for another.
Speak with your own attorney and CPA before you commit to anything. If you do not have one who works with international buyers in Florida, the desk is glad to recommend an attorney, a CPA or an adviser suited to your situation, and to sit in the first conversation so that nothing is lost in translation.
Structure, financing, currency, timing, the right building and the right line: the desk works through these questions with international buyers every week, and the answer is nearly always that it can be done, in order, without surprises. If Miami is on your mind, as a home or as an allocation, we would be glad to share what we are seeing, privately, and to start with the question this note did not answer.
