bentley previews designs of first miami beach-front residences
From road- to pool-side, the luxury experience of a Bentley is set to step beyond just the car. Anticipated to be complete in 2026, the Bentley Residences rise up 70 stories from the waterfront in Sunny Isles beach, Miami with a diamond-patterned façade. A suite of communal amenities welcomes residents to the tower and up to 216 exquisitely-furnished apartments.

DESIGN COLLABORATION WITH BENTLEY
A newly opened sales gallery previews the Bentley Residences, highlighting influences from Bentley design throughout each and every corner. Designers from the automotive brand, Brett Boydell and Chris Cooke, collaborate closely with Dezer Development and Sieger Suarez Architects as the project nears completion.
‘One of the biggest achievements when we design a car, is to have a whole group of designers working together, but to make it look like it came from one person’s hand. We have the same exciting challenge with Bentley Residences, but on a 70-storey scale,‘ says Brett Boydell, Bentley Head of Design Collaborations. ‘In reality, each element has been considered, understood and designed by the Bentley Design Team, by our partners at Dezer Development and by Sieger Suarez Architects, but the overall effect is seamless.‘
A bentley journey through luxurious amenties
Communal areas of the residences define a social atmosphere of relaxation. Amenities aim to bring residents together as a community: the cinema mimics the concept of an interior of a Bentley car as a cosseting sofa wraps around the back of the rear three walls; the games room is supplied with VR headsets as well as simulators for both golf and driving; and the actual bar of the whisky bar, fashioned with a matrix like the grille of a Bentley, is suspended from the ceiling. A wellness center and spa, cigar lounge, and restaurant also enrich the experience at the tower.
216 exquisitely-furnished apartments
Throughout the building, Bentley home furniture pieces inhabit the spaces. Handcrafted in Italy, the designs display the distinct sculptural lines of the automotive brand, built from natural yet still high quality materials such as wood, leather and glass. In the lobby, for example, the impressive pillars are each threaded with vertical veins of natural wood ingrained with cooper dust to add a subtle metallic finish, as seen in the EXP 100 GT concept car.
