Bentley Residences is a 63-storey, approximately 710-foot oceanfront tower on 2.4 acres in Sunny Isles Beach by Dezer Development, designed inside and out by Bentley Motors, where four robotic lifts carry the car to a private garage inside each of approximately 216 residences. Here is what the buyers who choose it are choosing.
Written by the desk at Miami Dossier, which holds the developer brochure, the floor plans and the current release for Bentley Residences, for buyers comparing the branded oceanfront towers of Sunny Isles. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese. All notes from the desk.
The desk at Miami Dossier covers a small number of Miami buildings closely rather than the whole market lightly, and Bentley Residences is one of them. What follows is not a brochure summary. It is the list of reasons buyers actually give when they choose this building, in the order we hear them, with the facts behind each one.
Almost every branded residence in Miami is a licence: a name on the door and a service standard behind it. Bentley Motors designed this building, inside and out, with Sieger Suarez Architects as architect. The diamond facade is the motif that runs through every Bentley product. This is the reason the desk at Miami Dossier reads Bentley Residences as a different kind of branded building.
Four robotic high-speed lifts take the car, with the owner in it, to a private garage inside the residence, up to sixty floors above the sand. No other tower on this coast does it. Whether that is essential or theatrical depends on the buyer, and it is honest to say it is both.
Each residence has a private three or four car garage inside the plan. The home is organised around it, which is why the plans read closer to a house than to an apartment.
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.
Every residence has a private heated pool with a raised sundeck and a summer kitchen with Gaggenau, on the ocean.
Sixty-three storeys and approximately 710 feet on a 2.4-acre site with approximately 200 feet of sand in Sunny Isles Beach. It is among the tallest oceanfront positions on the coast.
Ten-foot ceilings, Gaggenau kitchens with Italian cabinetry and motorised doors, a sauna in the primary bath with heated floors and a freestanding tub, walk-in closets each with a built-in safe, and a private elevator foyer through an eight-foot double door.
Custom hardware carrying the Bentley diamond, stone floors and walls in the baths, behind-mirror televisions, towel warmers. The desk at Miami Dossier has found that this is the part buyers notice in person and not in the brochure.
Over approximately 20,000 square feet across three levels furnished from the Bentley Home collection: 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.
Sunny Isles Beach is the stretch of barrier island north of Bal Harbour where the tall oceanfront towers stand, with Aventura Mall and the Aventura marinas immediately west. It offers scale, choice and a deep resale market in tall oceanfront product.
Dezer has developed more oceanfront towers in Sunny Isles than any other firm, including the Porsche Design Tower with its own car lift, so the mechanical idea at the centre of this building has a delivered precedent by the same developer. On a preconstruction purchase this record matters more than the render. The desk at Miami Dossier holds the delivery history and shares it on request.
The developer brochure, the floor plans by line and level, the current release and the deposit schedule, and our own floor plan analysis of the residence lines. None of it is published here because it changes. Ask for it and it arrives from the desk at Miami Dossier the same day, usually by WhatsApp, with our opinion attached, whether that opinion is Bentley or another building.

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.
Nobody chooses Bentley Residences in isolation. The desk at Miami Dossier weighs it against The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach, and sets it beside every other building in Sunny Isles Beach on the Sunny Isles Beach cluster. If the question underneath yours is really which line rather than which building, start there instead.
