Bentley Residences in Sunny Isles Beach
Bentley Residences Miami

Bentley Residences, a luxury tower bearing the Bentley brand and planned to adorn Sunny Isles Beach’s shoreline, will be breaking ground soon!

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.

St. Regis Residences Miami Construction Update

St. Regis Residences
St. Regis Residences Miami

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.

The Turnberry-led development will include 299 luxury condominiums with breathtaking views of the seven-acre Crystal Lagoons amenity and the surrounding idyllic natural landscapes.

With generously proportioned one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a number of penthouses, these dwellings are intended to accommodate a variety of lifestyles. The expansive views of the stunning turquoise lagoon, the green Oleta River State Park, the glittering Biscayne Bay, the limitless Atlantic Ocean, and the fascinating Miami city skyline are all visible from every unit.

With porcelain floors, roomy master bedrooms, walk-in closets with optional improvements, and opulent master bathrooms with stunning wet rooms with showers and soaking tubs, each apartment will exude sophistication.

The property staff will go above and beyond to meet residents’ needs, providing the extraordinary service for which Turnberry is known.

New Brickell Tower Proposed
New Tower Proposed in Brickell

Focus, a Chicago-based company recently submitted plans for a residential tower at the site of the former Starlite Motel in Brickell. According to records, the company paid $28 million for the property in November 2022.

“Miami’s vibrant metropolis, with its walkable urban cores, offers a dynamic and energetic environment that aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Tim Anderson, CEO and Founder of Focus.

The site’s demolition was finished earlier this year, and it was just permitted to be a part of Miami-Dade’s Rapid Transit Zoning District, which permits higher density. A pre-application for the new skyscraper was submitted to Miami-Dade planners on August 4. Gensler is listed as the architect for this new development.

According to the plans, the tower will rise 39 stories tall and will feature 516 residential units. There will also be ground floor retail, indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, and 506 parking spaces.

New York-Based Shvo Obtains Construction Loan for Miami Beach Hotel to Add Condo Tower to Development

The Raleigh Rosewood Hotel and Residences
The Raleigh Rosewood Hotel and Residences

New York-based Shvo recently secured a $190 million construction loan for The Raleigh Hotel in Miami Beach to add a condo development.

Currently, the site includes The Raleigh, the Richmond Hotel, and the South Seas Hotel. The three hotels were put together by the developers for $242.85 million in 2019. At the time, the property was secured by a $146.9 million loan from Acore Capital Management.

The developers might be able to remove equity from the project and move the work along if they take out a loan for a higher sum. According to the developer, the hotel contributed over $1 billion to the project, including over $300 million in stock.

The hotel is closed while work is being done on the premises. The Raleigh will have 60 suites under Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ management when it reopens in 2026. The developer is also constructing a high-end restaurant with a private member’s club and a 17-story condo with 42 flats that bears the Rosewood brand.

The 1940s saw the development of the Raleigh. The curving pool, the Martini Bar, and the Tiger Room are just a few of the hotel’s distinctive characteristics that will be preserved by Shvo.

To design the project, Shvo hired New York-based architect Peter Marino and Miami-based Kobi Karp Architecture.

Former Raleigh project investor Bilgili Group, based in Turkey, has pulled out of the project.

David Guetta Buys Indian Creek Waterfront Mansion for $69 Million

David Guetta Buys Waterfront Indian Creek Spec Home

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.

111 Wynwood Mixed-Use Project Plans Have Been Filed

111 Wynwood Miami
111 Wynwood Miami

The 111 Wynwood mixed-use project’s plans have recently been submitted with plans to add 12,106 square feet of commercial space to the current structure. 111 Wynwood will be located on First Avenue in Wynwood, which was originally designated as a pedestrian walkway.

The mixed-use building will be used for multiple restaurants/bars, meetings, and office spaces.

The building exterior, created by Touzet Studio, consists of a low level that swoops widely as it turns from 25th Street to First Avenue. A designated woonerf, First Avenue, is where the lower level interacts with the taller level, which is the main façade. The Mezzanine and Second Floor venues are accessed primarily by a wide staircase off of First Avenue as part of the building layout that accommodates pedestrians. First Avenue also leads to the recessed elevator’s lobby.

Large vitrines that protrude beyond the building’s surface and the deep recess that houses the stairway and benches are used to break up the taller volume’s architectural concrete surface. The lobby’s glass wall and a two-story, fissured, cast-concrete wall that has pockets of plant growing in it line one side of the stairway. From linear beams that go from the fissured wall to the multi-story lobby, flowering vines cascade down over the staircase.

The length of the ground level of the lower volume consists of a vitrine punctuated by glass entry doors set back into the volume. The double-height volume that fronts the corner and a portion of the 26th Street facade is illuminated by a long horizontal glass band. At the western end of the volume, the glass gives way to an open-air terrace at the Mezzanine level. The roof terrace above the lower volume serves as a dining terrace for the Second Floor venue. Horizontal planes, with rendered soffits, hover over portions of the roof terrace and over the arrival court at the top of the staircase.

The mural, which was created by Carlos Prio-Touzet and Touzet Studio, is a stylized representation of a coral rock surface that would appear on an architectural drawing. Here, a trompe l’oeil effect is subverted by the graphic’s sarcastic transformation into the cladding itself. Astro created the spiraling murals on the two bigger faces.

On July 18, there will be a hearing before the Wynwood Design Review Committee. The application was submitted by BH Wynwood Hotel LLC.
