The exit question at Bentley Residences: assignment, resale and the long hold

Nobody at the sales gallery talks about selling. This is the exit at Bentley Residences, planned at the entry.

This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.

Who This Is For

Written for the family-office operator.

Bentley Residences is at ~710 feet · a 2.4 acre oceanfront site · ~200 feet of sand in Sunny Isles Beach. The Bentley Residences dossier holds the developer’s published record. Read it against the Kempinski Residences Miami Design District dossier for the nearest comparison. This page is the family-office operator’s reading of it, as a framework to verify, never as a finding.

The record, in the developer’s words: Development: Dezer Development. Design: Bentley Motors, interior and exterior design · Sieger Suarez Architects. Residences: ~216 oceanfront residences across 63 stories. Building: ~710 feet · a 2.4 acre oceanfront site · ~200 feet of sand in Sunny Isles Beach.

Compare as you read: The St Regis Residences Sunny Isles Beach and Alba Palm Beach answer the same questions differently, and the desk holds the documents for all three.

Three Exits

Assignment, resale, and the long hold.

An assignment sells the contract before the building closes, where the developer allows it and usually for a fee. A resale sells the unit after closing, into a market where every neighbour bought at the same time. The long hold ignores both and treats the home as a place, which is what it is.

Bentley Residences’s own contract sets which of the three are open to you and on what terms; the desk holds it.

The Resale Question Nobody Asks At The Gallery

Who buys second.

Private 3 or 4 car garages, private heated pools with raised sundecks, summer kitchens with Gaggenau, 10 foot ceilings, sauna in the primary bath. The second buyer of a home like this is the same kind of person as the first, arriving three to five years later, choosing among all the lines that close at once. The lines that hold value are the ones the first buyers fought over: the corners, the water, the floors above the neighbours.

The developer’s published entry price today is from $5,800,000; the resale price is set by the building next door as much as by yours.

Liquidity Realities

What sells, and how fast.

New towers deliver in a wave, and the first year after closing is the year the most units are for sale at once. A buyer planning a two-year hold buys into that wave; a buyer planning ten years buys through it. The desk reads the delivery schedules of the neighbours as part of any exit plan.

Taxes And Costs At Exit

Mechanics only.

Florida has no state income tax; the federal treatment of a gain depends on how you held the property and for how long; a non-US seller meets FIRPTA withholding on the gross price. These are the shape of the exit, not its numbers; the numbers are your adviser’s. The desk introduces one.

Plan the exit at the entry. The way you take title decides the paperwork at sale.

The Exit Checklist

Five lines.

Assignment clause and fee. Resale restrictions and rights of first refusal, if any. The delivery schedule of the peers. How title is held. The adviser who handles the sale.
