The third service and sales facility for Tesla is slated to open in Miami-Dade County. The multi-million dollar project would need to renovate a 78,026-square-foot warehouse that was originally built in 1984.
Additionally, 150 parking spaces are planned, with 2/3 of them being outside the structure. The 5.3-acre construction site was purchased by EV 9900 LLC in late 2021 for $19.75 million. The building wasn’t occupied when it was purchased.
The original structure will be transformed into a service center, showroom, and office space in accordance with Tesla’s concept. This would entail that the facility would be open for the transfer of new cars to owners, the acceptance of end-of-lease vehicles, and the provision of basic services like tire repair and software upgrades.
The project was created by Stantec. It shared conceptual illustrations of a mid-rise glass structure with many web outlets. The proposal will be presented to Miami-Dade city officials on August 23, 2023, according to Tesla North.
If permitted, the business would complement the Tesla service centers that are already located in Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. The business may be found in Miami-Dade County at 9950 N.W. 25th St., Miami, FL, 33172. The construction would be located north of Dolphin Expressway.

Bentley Residences Set to Break Ground in Q4 of 2023
Following the start of sales in early 2022, this innovative development has quickly elevated Bentley Residences to the top of Miami’s real estate market. Dezer Development’s brilliant auto-inspired design has generated a lot of attention and heralded a new era in Miami’s real estate future.
Bentley Residences will be better positioned for success as a result of the next development milestones, which include the impending demolition of the current site and the highly anticipated groundbreaking.
Bentley Residences is planned to rise 62 stories at 18401 Collins Avenue in Miami’s Sunny Isles Beach district, offering 216 luxurious units with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Bentley Motor’s unmistakable design trademarks, craftsmanship, and exquisite details. The homes will include all doors, knobs, and pulls with Bentley’s distinctive textured handles, chrome finishes, and famous diamond patterning.
Each residence features extensive outdoor terraces with sundecks and private heated pools, top-tier Gaggenau kitchen appliances, roomy interiors with 10-foot ceilings, Italian kitchen cabinets with motorized door handles, premium quality stone countertops, backsplashes, and master bathroom saunas. The Dezervator, a cutting-edge car elevator that delivers vehicles and people directly to their apartments, is a major highlight.
Bentley Residences, which spans 3.6 acres of Sunny Isles beachfront, offers 20,000 square feet of facilities over three levels, evoking a luxurious five-star resort vibe. The extensive amenities include an oceanfront beauty salon, cabanas, a well-being spa, a wellness center, a whiskey and cigar bar, a wellness cinema, and a private dining establishment created by renowned celebrity chef Todd English. Beginning in 2023, work is anticipated to be finished in 2026. Pricing starts at $5.6 million.
Jeff Bezos Buys Waterfront Mansion on Indian Creek Island for $68 Million
Third-richest man in the world and billionaire Jeff Bezos reportedly paid $68 million for a waterfront mansion on Miami’s Indian Creek Island. An organization that bought the demolished home at 11 Indian Creek Island Road was controlled by the founder of Amazon.
Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez, a former news reporter, and pilot, were searching for a new or restored property in the Miami region. He probably began looking for a home when in Miami in May for the Formula One Grand Prix. Given that he has looked at residences on La Gorce Island, Star Island, and North Bay Road in Miami Beach, he might potentially be prepared to buy additional properties.
The home was originally built in 1965 with some additional renovations completed in 1985. The home features 9,300 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on 2.8 acres. According to tax records, the sellers are listed as hotelier Tulia Soucy de Gonzalez Gorrondona.
Other notables on Indian Creek Island include hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert, businessman Carl Icahn, Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, musician Julio Iglesias, and auto dealer magnate Norman Braman.
David Guetta is also under contract to purchase the beachfront spec home at 37 Indian Creek Island Drive, which has a $69 million asking price.
St. Regis Residences Miami Construction Update
Construction is progressing at St. Regis Residences Miami with the newest construction permit submission.
The application was submitted on August 9 but without the full plans, the permit review will not begin. The permit has not yet been assigned to a contractor. The owner is identified as 1809 Brickell Property Owner, LLC, and the contact information is a Related group email. According to the permit, the hard construction cost will be $201,740,547.
By a 4-0 vote in June, the UDRB recommended approval of the project, subject to the developer’s agreement to “study the balconies at the lower levels in an attempt to widen areas that cannot currently be fully furnished.”
After around four months of evaluation, the Federal Aviation Administration authorized the tower’s permanent height at 630 feet above the ground, or 639 feet above sea level, on July 14.
For the location, total demolition permission was requested in June and is currently being handled.
St. Regis Residences Miami is planned to rise 52 stories or 639 feet and will include 391 parking spaces as well as 152 residential units.
Robert A.M. Stern Architects is creating the project with a nautical concept. CFE is the architect of the records.

David Guetta Buys Indian Creek Waterfront Mansion for $69 Million
David Guetta, a well-known DJ and producer, is under contract to purchase a beachfront spec mansion in Indian Creek that was recently listed for $69 million.
Guetta, who owns a condo at the Setai Miami Beach, reportedly sold his record collection to Warner Music for roughly $100 million two years ago. At the time, he had sold 50 million records and had more than 14 billion streams of music.
The celebrated French DJ is buying the almost 16,000 square foot, 12-bedroom estate at 37 Indian Creek Island Drive. The 1.2-acre property has 118 feet of water frontage. The property is being sold to Guetta by developer Todd Michael Glaser and his associates.
The Indian Creek property was sold to Glaser, Jim Randall, Scott Robins, and Jonathan Fryd two years ago for $23.8 million by longtime “Sábado Gigante” host Don Francisco. They started work on the spec mansion after demolishing the old residence.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s property, which they acquired for $24 million in 2021, is right next door to the residence.
Indian Creek, a gated community, is located north of Miami Beach. Additionally, multibillionaire hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert, musician Julio Iglesias, Hotels.com co-founder Bob Diener, and auto industry titan Norman Braman own homes at this exclusive neighborhood.
In an off-market transaction that established a record for Indian Creek in June, hotelier Tulia Soucy de Gonzalez Gorrondona sold her beachfront mansion at 11 Indian Creek Island Road for $68 million. For his neighboring mansion at 26 Indian Creek Island Road, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady obtained a $35 million construction loan in that month.
Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club Secure Financing for Construction
Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club, a boutique residential development that will have condominium units and a private marina, is being built on Miami’s Bay Harbor Islands by the New York and South Florida-based Landau Properties. Financing has now been secured for the property with official sales projected to start in Fall 2023.
Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club’s $29 million construction credit was originated by Miami-based private real estate lender BridgeInvest. Its flagship fund, BridgeInvest Specialty Credit Fund IV, focuses on development, bridge, and value-add financing across the United States. BridgeInvest provided the construction funding, which was organized by Raffi Landau of Estreich and Company.
According to the CEO of Landau Properties, Jonathan Landau, “We are pleased to have the confidence of BridgeInvest on this very special project that will offer an unparalleled opportunity on the Bay Harbor Islands. We received strong lender interest for this project, and this financing package affirms our team’s ability to create an incredible residential experience with a combination of an amazing waterfront location, service-oriented lifestyle, and world-class design. BridgeInvest, a highly regarded lending institution in South Florida, proved to be the perfect partner given their established local presence and robust construction abilities…”
Nine opulent condominium residences and six exclusive yacht docks will be part of Indian Creek Residences & Yacht Club. One of the only private yacht clubs in the region is housed in the boutique structure, and guests may enjoy a sought-after view of the prized Indian Creek Island. Kobi Karp is designing the waterfront complex, and Linda Zarifi of Zarifi Design is handling the interiors.
Construction Continues on 7918 West Drive In Miami’s North Bay Village
Construction is underway at 7918 West Drive, a 21-story, 54-residence waterfront condominium development in Miami’s North Bay Village.
The foundation through the third level is now complete, and significant progress has been made on the parking garage. The columns and shear walls as well as the sixth level have also had concrete poured. The parking garage’s south section’s foundation is also finished.
Where east and west converge at 7918 West Drive, there are a number of striking units with Aerial views that display the unique architectural and natural features that characterize each floor plan. The idea stands out from the competition because of its unique fusion of a contemporary, high-tech lifestyle with Japanese culture. The development will provide a Zen Garden, a yoga room, and water features to create an indoor-outdoor atmosphere.
Modern SieMatic cabinetry, Cosentino worktops and surfaces, and high-end Miele equipment can be found in the kitchens. Additionally, Hansgrohe and Kohler plumbing fittings will be included in the homes. Additionally, the cutting-edge technology at 7918 West Drive will incorporate automated software customization for the utmost convenience, security, and privacy.
Priced from $2 million to over $17 million, homes range in size from 1,677 to 7,086 total square feet, including a minimum of two bedrooms, and have at least two views of Biscayne Bay. There are only four units per floor, all of the houses are corner units, and each balcony has an irregularly shaped ceiling that offers places that are both partially sheltered and partially sunny.
7918 West Drive will have 16,224 square feet of common areas, 148 parking spaces, and a 33,600 square foot property on the Intracoastal Waterway.
The project architect is Juan Azulay, founder, and director of MTTR mgmt, and the general contractor is listed as Thornton Residential. A multidisciplinary architectural design business with its headquarters in Tokyo, ONE DESIGNS Co. Ltd., created the lobby of the skyscraper. The company includes architectural designers and top-tier certified architects that provide knowledge of Japanese construction and interior design for people looking for a home that simply redefines attention to detail.
7918 West Drive is distinctively designed and equipped with cutting-edge technology throughout. Due to its outstanding design and painstaking attention to detail, the development has made significant progress since its groundbreaking ceremony in February 2023, confirming its place as a benchmark of architectural excellence in South Florida.
