The rendering ends at the keys. The ownership starts there. This is the first year at Bentley Residences, in the order it happens.
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.
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 estate manager’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.
A closing notice arrives with a date, a final balance and a list of documents. The walkthrough follows: a punch list of everything unfinished, agreed with the developer in writing before closing, with a schedule to fix it. Then the wire, the deed, the keys.
For Bentley Residences, the developer’s finish specification is the yardstick at the walkthrough: 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 first association budget was an estimate in the offering documents. In the first year it becomes a monthly invoice, and the difference between the two is the number every new owner notices. Insurance, staffing and the brand fee are the lines that move most; reserves are the line the law now watches.
Over ~20,000 SF across three levels furnished by Bentley Home: a three story lobby with ocean views, lobby restaurant under 33 foot glass, whiskey bar, 16 seat private dining room, 14 seat theatre, cigar lounge, spa and pet spa, beauty salon, simulator game room, oceanfront pool and 10 cabanas. Every one of those has a staffing cost in the budget, and the first year is when the building learns what they really cost.
Management is as the dossier records. The first year is when procedures are written: packages, guests, contractors, moving days, the pool at night. Owners who show up to the first meetings shape them; the rest inherit them.
Florida gives a new condominium statutory warranties from the developer on the unit and the common elements, running for set periods from completion and from turnover; the association, once owners control it, is the party that pursues building-wide defects. Know the dates; the clock starts without asking you.
The first year is the year to notice things. Write them down, date them, send them.
Punch list agreed in writing. Final balance reconciled to the contract. Insurance in force from the day of closing. Homestead exemption filed the first January you qualify. The first budget read against the estimate. The first board meeting attended. Warranty dates in the calendar.

We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed. For the first year that means the punch list and the budget before the party. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
