Bentley Residences Unveils New Renderings and More

Bentley Residences Renderings

Bentley…the name alone is enough to make you think of exclusivity, luxury, and performance. Mix that in with high-end luxury development and you have a world-class residential tower that offers more than a living space, but an experience.

Bentley Motors has partnered with Dezer Development to bring residents the very best of the iconic brand by incorporating everything that a 5-star hotel has to offer without the continuing cycle of guests.

Bentley Residences

Dezer and architect Sieger Saurez spent several months perfecting the exterior diamond-shaped design. Dezer adds, “When we developed plans for the Bentley, we immediately thought of the triangular windows… It’s going to be a diamond that they can see all the way from Cuba when the sun hits on it. It’s going to be amazing. ” He adds, “we’re going to have a hard time outdoing ourselves.” Just from the renderings, we couldn’t agree more!

On September 14th, Dezer met with the City Commission to consider expanding the original site plan as well as reviewing additional transfer of development requests. The expansion would increase the square footage of the building to 616,185 square feet rising 62 stories (instead of the original 60). Two hundred and sixteen condos would along with 821 parking spaces are anticipated.

The most unique concept of Bentley Residences will be the car elevators that lift your car to your condo (very similar to the Porsche Design Tower) or as Dezer refers to it “Dezervator.”

Construction on Bentley Residences will begin in 2023 with an unveiling in 2026. “These buildings are complicated; they take time,” says Charles M. Sieger, President of Sieger Suarez Architects. “It’s not like working on a single-unit family house. They’re very technical and, at the same time, very artistic. You need some experience doing these things. We worked with Bentley to pick up their esthetic, the way they do their stitching, and diamond-shaped signature visual items,” Sieger adds. With more photos and information being released, we can’t wait to see what else Bentley has in store!

Armani Casa Beach Views

Residences by Armani/Casa has set a new record for condo sales in Sunny Isles Beach. With nearly $1 billion in sales, Residences by Armani/Casa has nearly sold out of the luxury condos, which is significantly more than any other new construction tower in Sunny Isles Beach.

Located at 18975 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, this 60-story project was completed in late 2019 just before the COVID pandemic shut down travel and events, which also delayed some of the sales/closings for the new development.

Armani Case Aerial Views

According to the President of Dezer Development (Developer for Residences by Armani/Casa), the building was 85% sold when they first started sales in February 2020 but sales got stagnant and the development was selling around 1 unit a month during the pandemic. The sales began to increase once Florida started to open up.

More recently, two penthouses sold in this tower with one at $7 million and the other at $9 million. Among the buyers include Radamel Falcao (Colombian professional soccer player).

Mike Piazza sells Miami Beach Mansion

If you need anymore convincing of how hot the Miami real estate market is, another luxury mansion just sold! It gets better because the seller is Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Mike Piazza.

Piazza is known for his time with the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers. He did have brief stints with the Florida Marlins, San Diego Padres, and Oakland Athletics. Mike Piazza is regarded as one of the best offensive catchers in MLB history.

Piazza listed the Miami Beach mansion in December 2017 at $18.5 million. The property located at 1401 West 27th Street, Miami Beach was recently relisted for $14.7 million with a sold price of $15 million. This 8 bedroom, 9.5 bathroom mansion features 9,438 square feet of custom finishes including Jerusalem stone floors and an Italian-inspired kitchen. A private pool, dock, and boat lift elevates the remarkable 100 feet water frontage lot.

The buyers for this incredible residence is none other than the Major Food Group’s co-founder Jeffrey Zalaznick and wife. The couple has been renting the property since October 2020.

According to tax records, Piazza paid $10 million for the home in 2008. But don’t worry, they are not leaving Miami any time soon. They still own a unit at the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach that they purchased in 2019 for $5.6 million.
