Bentley Residences — Sunny Isles Beach, Miami

The Residences

The car comes up with you.

On the oceanfront at Sunny Isles Beach, Dezer Development built a tower that treats the automobile the way the rest of Miami treats a view. Working with Bentley Motors and architects Sieger Suarez, they wrapped a glass shaft in a diamond-quilt facade — the same stitch you would find on a Bentley seat — and ran a vehicular elevator straight up its spine.

That elevator, the Dezervator, lifts each owner's cars to a private garage inside the residence. You arrive on your own floor with the Atlantic on one side and your car parked behind glass on the other, the kitchen a few steps beyond. It is an odd, specific luxury, and the building is organized entirely around it.

The rest follows Bentley's hand without announcing it. Twenty thousand square feet of amenities across three levels carry the Bentley Home collection — a whiskey bar drawn from the matrix grille of the cars, a theater built to feel like a cabin interior, a spa, a pool deck on the sand. Inside the residences, Miele kitchens, stone baths, and floor-to-ceiling glass keep the ocean in the room.

Sieger Suarez has done this stretch of coast before, with the Porsche Design Tower and the Armani/Casa residences a few blocks north. Here they gave Dezer a curved, tapering profile that reads as one continuous gesture from the sand to its full height — a shape you notice from the beach long before you understand what is moving inside it.

The Dezervator and the sky garages are best understood in person. Arrange a private viewing to see how a residence is laid out around them.
