Driving the news: Bentley Residences Miami has revealed its crown jewel: a $37.5 million penthouse atop a 61-story Sunny Isles Beach tower. As one of only two penthouses in the world’s first Bentley-branded residential development, the home offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, downtown Miami, and Fort Lauderdale, making it one of South Florida’s most exclusive listings.

• The tower will rise 749 feet, making it the tallest residential building on any U.S. beachfront, with completion expected between late 2027 and early 2028.

• Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Bentley Motors and developed by Dezer Development, the building features a diamond-patterned glass façade inspired by Bentley’s signature quilting.

• There are just 216 residences ranging from 3,500 to 9,000 square feet, emphasizing privacy and exclusivity.

• The penthouse includes 22-foot ceilings, four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a study, an entertainment loft, a sky garage with a car gallery, and a state-of-the-art kitchen with Gaggenau appliances. Indoor and outdoor pools, a sunset terrace, and a summer kitchen add resort-style amenities.

Why it matters: Bentley Residences Miami sets a new standard for hospitality-driven luxury living, with over 20,000 square feet of shared amenities including a whisky bar, cigar lounge, private cinema, spa, beauty salon with ocean views, pet spa, and a residents-only restaurant curated by award-winning chef Todd English.

The big picture: The 2.4-acre beachfront property combines automotive innovation, coastal sophistication, and architectural prestige, with landscaped decks, cabanas, and a full-service lobby bar complementing the oceanfront lifestyle. An optional Bentley Home interior package mirrors the surrounding ocean and sky.

What’s next: Located at 18401 Collins Avenue, residents will enjoy proximity to luxury retail, dining, and cultural destinations in Sunny Isles Beach. With only 216 units and a world-class penthouse, Bentley Residences Miami offers a rare opportunity to own a defining piece of the city’s next luxury skyline.
