March 1 is a fun day for Sunny Isles Beach. The high season is in full swing, billionaires are basking in the sun along the beach, it is Gil Dezer’s birthday, and the City of Sunny Isles Beach has coined the day “Gil Dezer Day” in appreciation for his contribution(s) to the skyline.

This year, he has released new renderings and timeline updates for the new Bentley Residences Miami. This marks the first-ever residential partnership for the luxury brand, but far from the first partnership with a luxury brand for Mr Dezer. Many of you are already familiar with his work at Armani Casa and Porsche Design Tower which like Bentley Residences, also features a Dezervator. The Dezervator is a specially-designed elevator/car lift that allows residents to remain in their vehicle as it is carried to their doorstep in the sky at 800 feet per minute and stored in a 4-car garage adjacent to the residence (pictured below). A video of the patented elevator/car lift in action can be found here.

This time last year, Dezer was getting ready to open his $10 million sales center on the build site. It did open, and sales took off. We are now anticipating the groundbreaking of the 63-story tower, which is scheduled for June 1, weather and permits permitting of course. Considering everything goes according to schedule, the residences will be delivered in late 2026/early 2027.

When completed, the tower will become the tallest oceanfront building in the United States at 749 feet tall. There will be 216 residences that each feature private 4-car garages and private pools on the balconies of each unit. The balconies are also unique, offering a true indoor/outdoor feel that maximizes the ocean breeze and our amazing South Florida climate.

The building’s design and façade are inspired by the recessed diamond patterning in the interiors of Bentley automobiles. It features reflective glass triangle panels that are each set 3 inches deep to form a glittering diamond shape, according to Sieger Suarez.

Suarez also gushed about the interiors of the residences and their nod to the distinctive style of Bentley’s brand. The faucets in the bathroom and kitchen feature the same grippy texture of the metal shift knobs in the cars. The fully-integrated kitchen hides behind sliding walls of deep walnut tones and high gloss finishes, emulating the feel of the high polish wood grain trim.

Since the opening of the sales gallery, residences have sold quickly. In under a year the development is nearly 50% spoken for with prices ranging from $5.5 million to $57 million for the upper penthouse. The average price for a preconstruction residence is between $7 million to $9 million according to Dezer.
