Bentley Residences Sunny Isles Beach — The Complete Buyer's Guide
There is one feature at Bentley Residences that makes everyone ask the same question when they first hear about it: a car elevator that delivers your vehicle directly to a sky garage adjacent to your residence. Not a ground-floor garage. Not a valet service. Your car — in your home, on your floor, visible through glass from your living space — delivered by the Dezervator.
It is the same concept Dezer Development pioneered at Porsche Design Tower, the building that proved Miami's luxury condo market would pay a significant premium for automotive integration at the residential level. Bentley Residences is the second chapter of that concept — now with the Bentley Motors brand, a different architectural expression, and a Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront position that delivers direct Atlantic Ocean frontage alongside the car elevator experience.
I have covered the Sunny Isles Beach market for 23 years. I have watched Dezer Development transform this corridor from hotel properties into one of South Florida's most recognized ultra-luxury residential addresses. Bentley Residences is Dezer's most ambitious branded residential project yet — and this guide covers it honestly, including who it is actually for, how the Dezervator works as a daily lifestyle feature, and how the building compares to Sunny Isles Beach's existing trophy tier.
What Makes Bentley Residences Different
Bentley Residences enters a Sunny Isles Beach market that already has Porsche Design Tower, Armani Casa, Jade Signature, Turnberry Ocean Club, and Estates at Acqualina — a collection of trophy buildings that is unmatched by any comparable stretch of coastline in South Florida. Standing out in that company requires genuine differentiation, not just branding.
The building achieves it on three dimensions.
The Dezervator. Every residence has a private car elevator — trademarked by Dezer Development as the Dezervator — that delivers your vehicle from the ground-level motor court to a sky garage on your residential floor. The sky garage is adjacent to the residence and visible through glass, functioning as both a secure storage space and a display element for buyers who view their vehicles as part of their living environment. This is not a gimmick. At Porsche Design Tower, units with Dezervator access have consistently commanded premium pricing relative to non-Dezervator units in the same building. The feature creates genuine functional value — you arrive home, drive into the motor court, the Dezervator takes your car to your floor — and aesthetic value for buyers whose relationship to automobiles goes beyond transportation.
For a closer look at how the Dezervator actually works mechanically, and how Sunny Isles Beach's two car-elevator towers fit into a category now spreading to other South Florida developments, see our full piece on the engineering behind Dezer's elevator system.
The Bentley Motors brand. Bentley has been hand-building cars in Crewe, England since 1919. The brand represents a specific tradition — unrivalled craftsmanship, natural materials, British heritage — that translates to a specific buyer profile globally. The Bentley Residences buyer is not necessarily someone who owns a Bentley automobile. They are someone who identifies with what the Bentley brand represents: considered luxury, craftsmanship over flash, quality that is meant to endure rather than impress at first glance.
The Sieger Suarez architecture. The same architectural firm that designed Porsche Design Tower and Armani Casa brings its Sunny Isles Beach track record to Bentley Residences. The building's distinctive façade — a faceted glass curtain wall that catches light differently throughout the day — creates an immediately recognizable silhouette on the Sunny Isles Beach skyline. The triangular structural framing visible throughout the residence interiors is an architectural expression of the Bentley diamond motif — a subtle translation of the brand's visual language into the building's bones.
The Residence Collections
The brochure presents two named residence collections — Azure and Bentayga — each referencing Bentley's automotive lineup while delivering distinct residential configurations.
Residence Azure
Named for the Bentley Continental's iconic colorway. The Azure collection delivers full oceanfront positioning — the Atlantic Ocean engulfs the entire residence through floor-to-ceiling triangular glazing panels that bring the water into every room. The brochure's rendering shows an Azure foyer with a direct water view framing the primary entry experience — the ocean is the first thing you see when you step off the private elevator.
Interior photography confirms: chef's kitchen with waterfall island and ocean views, Florida Room with wraparound terrace positioning, primary bath with freestanding soaking tub facing the Atlantic, master bedroom with unobstructed ocean horizon. Every principal room faces water.
Each Azure residence includes a private pool on the terrace — an individual infinity pool at residential floor level, not a shared amenity deck pool. The view from the Azure pool terrace is open Atlantic Ocean.
Residence Bentayga
Named for Bentley's flagship SUV. The Bentayga collection delivers city, Intracoastal, and Sunny Isles Beach skyline views from west and north-facing orientations. The Sunset Terrace and Florida Room configurations show panoramic Intracoastal and cityscape views. The Bentayga residences also include the sky garage with Dezervator access — the car is visible through a glass panel from the kitchen and gallery corridor.
The Bentayga floor plan reveals one of the building's most practical innovations: the sky garage is integrated into the residence floor plan as a functional room, not a separate accessory structure. The kitchen, gallery, and living spaces orient toward both the city views and the garage — making the automobile a deliberate design element of the residence.
Each Bentayga residence also includes a private pool on the terrace.
The Amenities
The brochure confirms the following amenity spaces with specific named venues:
Lobby and Arrival
The Collins Avenue entrance features a branded water wall and landscaped motor court — the arrival sequence is choreographed around the Dezervator experience. The lobby is a double-height hospitality space with warm materials — leather, dark wood, bronze — referencing the Bentley interior vocabulary.
Mezzanine Lounge
A full bar and lounge space on the mezzanine level overlooking the lobby. Bentley brand materials and color palette throughout — dark oxidized metals, deep jewel tones, cognac leathers.
Cigar Lounge
A dedicated cigar lounge with dramatic ceiling detail and leather seating — a feature that specifically targets the Bentley buyer profile. Few luxury residential buildings in Sunny Isles Beach have a dedicated cigar space at this level of finish.
Fitness Terrace
An open-air fitness deck with ocean views — cardio equipment facing the Atlantic. The fitness terrace extends the interior gym to an outdoor training environment with the Sunny Isles Beach skyline as backdrop.
Spa
Spa reception confirmed from brochure. Full spa facility details not disclosed in the rack brochure — contact Ashton Coleman for current amenity specifications.
The Dezervator Motor Court
The ground-level motor court serves as the building's primary arrival experience. Each resident accesses the Dezervator from this point — the car elevator is not a secondary amenity but the defining architectural and functional feature of the building.
Dezer Development — The Track Record That Matters
Gil Dezer and Dezer Development are the reason Bentley Residences is credible rather than aspirational. Founded in 1970 by Michael Dezer and now led by Gil Dezer, the company has been the dominant developer in Sunny Isles Beach's luxury transformation since the mid-1990s — acquiring oceanfront hotel properties and replacing them with the trophy condo buildings that define the current market.
Dezer's delivered Sunny Isles Beach portfolio:
- Trump Grande — three-tower oceanfront complex that established Sunny Isles Beach's initial luxury identity
- Porsche Design Tower — introduced the Dezervator concept and proved the market for automotive-integrated ultra-luxury residential at $2,500+ per square foot
- Residences by Armani/Casa — brought the Armani brand to Sunny Isles Beach and deepened the market's international buyer base
Each of these buildings is either sold out or trading at premium resale pricing. Dezer's track record of delivering what the brochure promises — and delivering on time — is a genuine underwriting credential for pre-construction buyers.
The architect, Sieger Suarez Architects, brings a 42-year track record of award-winning luxury projects in South Florida. Their prior Sunny Isles Beach work with Dezer — Porsche Design Tower and Armani Casa — plus Icon South Miami Beach, St Regis Bal Harbour, and Apogee South Miami Beach gives them direct experience with exactly the client, market, and price point Bentley Residences targets.
Bentley Residences vs. Porsche Design Tower — The Honest Comparison
Buyers considering Bentley Residences will almost certainly also look at Porsche Design Tower's resale market. The comparison is the most direct available in Sunny Isles Beach — same developer, same Dezervator concept, same oceanfront address. Here is the honest assessment of the differences.
What Porsche Design Tower delivers that Bentley Residences does not yet have:
Porsche Design Tower is a delivered, occupied building. The product is proven. You can visit, you can speak to residents, you can review the actual HOA financials rather than the projected ones. Resale units are available with known views, known floor positions, and transaction comps to anchor value.
What Bentley Residences delivers that Porsche Design Tower cannot:
Newness — a building that has not been lived in, with finishes that have not been worn, at a price point that reflects the market at time of purchase rather than the appreciation accumulated by a delivered building. The Bentley brand is also distinct from the Porsche brand in its lifestyle positioning — darker, more British, more heritage-focused versus Porsche's German precision and speed.
The sky garage integration in Bentley Residences also appears more fully resolved than Porsche Design Tower's original Dezervator installation — the Bentayga floor plans show the garage as an intentional design element rather than an add-on feature.
The honest price comparison:
Porsche Design Tower resale pricing has established a significant benchmark in Sunny Isles Beach — units have transacted above $5,000 per square foot for premium floor positions. Bentley Residences pre-construction pricing is available upon request and is positioned relative to that Porsche Design Tower ceiling. Contact Ashton Coleman for current Bentley Residences pricing and a specific comparison with available Porsche Design Tower resale inventory.
The Sunny Isles Beach Context — Why This Address
The aerial location map in the Bentley Residences brochure confirms the building's position on Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach — with Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Bal Harbour, and Indian Creek Country Club to the south, and Golden Beach, Intracoastal Mall, Aventura Mall, and Opa-Locka Private Aviation to the north.
That aerial tells the broader story of why Sunny Isles Beach has become one of the world's most recognized ultra-luxury residential addresses: direct Atlantic Ocean frontage, Intracoastal waterway access, proximity to Miami International Airport and Opa-Locka private aviation, and a concentration of trophy buildings — Jade Signature, Porsche Design Tower, Armani Casa, Turnberry Ocean Club, Estates at Acqualina, St Regis Residences, and now Bentley Residences — that collectively represent more brand-affiliated ultra-luxury residential product per linear mile than any comparable stretch of coastline in the United States.

Who Bentley Residences Is Actually For
This is the section that matters most — and I am going to be direct rather than aspirational about it.
The right buyer for Bentley Residences: Someone for whom the Dezervator is not a novelty but a daily lifestyle feature — you have a car that you care about and the idea of storing it on your residential floor rather than in a ground-level garage is genuinely compelling. A buyer who identifies with the Bentley brand's positioning — heritage, craftsmanship, considered luxury — rather than the brand's automotive product specifically. A buyer comfortable with pre-construction timelines and deposit structures, with sufficient liquidity to carry the commitment. An international buyer for whom a globally recognized brand affiliation adds credibility to the investment.
The buyer for whom Bentley Residences is not the right fit: A buyer whose primary motivation is yield-maximizing investment — the Dezervator premium requires buyers who specifically value it, and that buyer pool is genuine but not the broadest market. A buyer who needs a delivered product immediately. A buyer who specifically prefers Jade Signature's architectural approach — Herzog & de Meuron's work at Jade Signature is more globally recognized in the architecture world than Sieger Suarez, and buyers who prioritize architectural pedigree over automotive integration may find Jade Signature's resale market more appropriate.
Bentley Residences is one of several South Florida condos that carry an automotive, hotel or fashion brand. To compare it with Porsche Design Tower, Aston Martin Residences and the rest, see my guide to branded residences in Miami and South Florida.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bentley Residences Sunny Isles Beach
What is the Dezervator at Bentley Residences?
The Dezervator is a trademarked car elevator system developed by Dezer Development that delivers your vehicle from the ground-level motor court directly to a sky garage on your residential floor. The sky garage is adjacent to your residence and visible through glass — your car is part of your living environment rather than stored in a separate parking structure. Dezer Development pioneered this concept at Porsche Design Tower and has refined it for Bentley Residences with a more fully integrated sky garage floor plan.
Who is the developer of Bentley Residences Sunny Isles Beach?
Bentley Residences is developed by Dezer Development — founded in 1970 by Michael Dezer and now led by Gil Dezer. Dezer Development is the dominant developer in Sunny Isles Beach's luxury transformation, responsible for Trump Grande, Porsche Design Tower, and Residences by Armani/Casa. The architect is Sieger Suarez Architects, whose South Florida portfolio includes Porsche Design Tower, Armani Casa, Icon South Miami Beach, St Regis Bal Harbour, and Apogee South Miami Beach.
How does Bentley Residences compare to Porsche Design Tower?
Both buildings share the same developer, the same Dezervator concept, and the same Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront address. The primary differences: Porsche Design Tower is a delivered, occupied building with a proven resale market and verified HOA financials; Bentley Residences is pre-construction, offering new product at pre-delivery pricing. The Bentley brand targets a distinct buyer from the Porsche brand — more heritage-focused, more British, darker material palette. The Bentayga floor plans show a more fully integrated sky garage than the original Dezervator installation. Contact Ashton Coleman for a specific comparison including current Porsche Design Tower resale pricing alongside Bentley Residences pre-construction pricing.
What are the residence collections at Bentley Residences?
Bentley Residences offers two named collections. Azure residences deliver full oceanfront positioning with direct Atlantic Ocean views from every principal room, a private pool on the terrace, and the primary entry experience framed by the ocean. Bentayga residences deliver city, Intracoastal, and skyline views from west and north-facing orientations, private pool, and the sky garage with Dezervator access integrated into the floor plan with kitchen and gallery views of the vehicle.
Where is Bentley Residences located?
Bentley Residences is located on Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida — directly on the Atlantic Ocean. The building sits within Sunny Isles Beach's trophy building corridor alongside Porsche Design Tower, Armani Casa, Jade Signature, Turnberry Ocean Club, and Estates at Acqualina. The address provides direct Atlantic beach access, proximity to Aventura Mall and Aventura's commercial corridor to the north, and Bal Harbour Shops and Miami Beach to the south.
