Miami welcomes the first-ever Bentley-branded luxury residential tower. The news was announced today that this remarkable tower will stand tall along with other luxury car brands like the Porsche Design Tower and Aston Martin Residences. This remarkable project will have a sophisticated and sleek design standing at 749 feet tall in Sunny Isles Beach. This tower will be the tallest beachfront tower in the U.S. and its height already has FAA approval.
Dezer Development and Sieger Suarez Architects will be partnering to create a luxurious design worthy of the Bentley brand. Dezer and Sieger Suarez has previously worked on Armani and Porsche towers. Gil Dezer, President of Dezer Development states, “Partnering with Bentley Motors, a true global luxury brand and being able to create another first in the Miami marketplace is an extraordinary opportunity.”
According to the press release, there will be 200+ residences, each with a multi-car garage with a car elevator delivering your car straight to your residence (similar to that of Porsche Design Tower). Each unit will also feature its own private balcony, pool and sauna. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the residences with ocean and bay views.
Building amenities will include a gym, pool, spa, restaurant (TBD), lounge, cabanas, cinema, whiskey bar, and garden. According to Forbes, Bentley Residences will be built according to the the Florida Green Building Council Certifications with anticipations that the building will use less energy.
The ground breaking is expected to begin in 2023 and construction is expected to be complete by 2026. We will update this article as more information is published about Bentley Residences.
Construction is Underway for Platform 3750 Project in West Grove Neighborhood Miami
Platform 3750, a mixed-use project in the West Grove neighborhood of Miami has just broke ground at 3750 South Dixie Highway on 2.1 acres. This site is within walking distance of the Douglas Road Metrorail Station. The Cornerstone Group is the lead developer for this mixed-use project and is currently leasing from Miami-Dade County after winning a request for the RFP process.
This project is expected to create 300 jobs and is designed to ‘jumpstart economic activity’ in West Grove. It is anticipated to have 191 apartments, 21,000 square feet of retail space already leased to Aldi and Starbucks, 14,000 square feet of office space for the Cornerstone Group, 12,500 square feet of office space for the county’s Community Action & Human Services division, 3,000 square feet for the district office of county Commissioner Raquel Regalado, and 400 parking spaces.
Cornerstone Partner, Lenny Wolfe states, “West Grove has been neglected for a while. There was a very small amount of affordable housing built there and there is tremendous need. And it’s a food desert because there’s a real need for an affordable grocery store.”
This project was designed by Kobi Karp Architecture and the general contractor is Current Builders
The loan for this project includes a $60.5 million loan, $8 million county’s surtax, $3.5 million city government obligation bond, $1.95 million city Home loan, $1.4 million from the county economic development fund, and $5 million in tax credit equity.
