Bentley Motors And Dezer Development Announce Debut Of Bentley Residences 12,000 SF Sales Gallery In Sunny Isles Beach

Bentley Motors, in collaboration with Dezer Development, are set to launch the sales gallery for Bentley Residences Miami, the latest luxury condominium tower headed for Sunny Isles Beach and the first Bentley-branded residential tower in the world. Setting an entirely new standard for luxury living, these two pioneering industry brands have joined forces for one of the most revolutionary, highly-anticipated partnerships in the world of luxury and hospitality.

Bentley Residences Miami will feature 216 exquisitely finished residential units, each embracing an exquisite balance of indoor/outdoor living. Pricing starts at $4.2 million and every unit will encompass an individual balcony swimming pool, unobstructed seascapes, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows seamlessly implemented throughout.

The 12,000 sqft. sales gallery will unveil in January 2022, giving buyers a first-hand glimpse of the private beachfront enclave that will encompass a one-of-a-kind collection of residences. Poised to be nothing short of extraordinary, the sales gallery will feature an actual full-size 6,000 sqft. model unit replica within, establishing this particular sales gallery as the first of its kind for brokers and potential buyers. The Bentley Residences sales gallery will be located at 18325 Collins Avenue.

“Bentley Residences will be a true branding experience from the unseen details to the unique way the buyers will be able to go home. Having four parking spaces adjacent to your unit with a swimming pool is a game-changer,” says President of Dezer Development, Gil Dezer.

Bentley Residences, set to debut in Sunny Isles Beach in 2026, marks the world’s very first Bentley branded luxury residential property. Conceptualized by top U.S property developer, Dezer Development, designed by the world-renowned architectural firm Sieger Suarez Architects - known for their work on Dezer Development’s Porsche Design Tower and Residences by Armani/Casa - the tower will feature uninterrupted views of the ocean and waterways, bringing the beauty of the outdoors into each new home.

The Bentley design team is collaborating with Dezer on the interior and exterior architecture of the building, translating Bentley’s luxury design to the residential experience. Built with luxury car owners in mind, each residence will include an in-unit multi-car garage and a patented car Dezervator alongside all the most desirable luxury amenities and world-class services. Designed by world-renowned architectural firm, Sieger Suarez Architects, the luxury residential tower is designed to appeal to Bentley’s and Dezer Development’s most discerning customers.

As guests drive down the sprawling driveway into the sales gallery, they will be greeted by an abstract, life-size floating speed form Bentley sculpture, which will live outside of the Bentley Residences tower upon completion. Additional information about the Bentley design integration will follow in 2022.

Luxury and hospitality are at the forefront of the Bentley Residences experience. Keeping that in mind, the sales gallery is designed to exude the same magnificence that will be experienced by buyers once the luxury tower is officially launched. The sales gallery will offer a theatre room and separate lounge area for brokers, along with a bar stocked with a range of the finest whisky to entertain clients and host intimate dinners and events for automobile connoisseurs and high-end luxury enthusiasts. Additionally, a Bentley Brand Room will occupy a dedicated area within the gallery, where one of the finest examples of British craftsmanship will be displayed at the center, offering guests an extended experience and information on the brand.

Just minutes from Bal Harbour and Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach is located on a barrier island in Northeast Miami-Dade and borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal waterway. Dezer Development is profoundly known for the development of many top luxury hi-rise hotels and condominium projects in Sunny Isles beach.

First-Ever MetaReal Mansion Under Construction In Both Miami And The Sandbox Metaverse

The first ever MetaReal mansion is currently under construction in both Miami in real life and in the Metaverse and is expected to fetch millions when it goes to auction. Meta Residence, ONE Sotheby’s International Realty and Voxel Architects have aligned to build and sell the first real-world mansion using NFT technology. The luxury mansion is being constructed in Miami with a virtual counterpart coming to life inside of The Sandbox metaverse. The purchaser of the NFT asset will also acquire ownership rights of the physical home.

“We are building a rare lifestyle experience that blurs the lines between the metaverse and reality,” said Gabe Sierra, President of the joint venture. “Never before has a project like this been delivered, and we are proud to offer the buyer of this NFT a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the first MetaReal mansion ever created.”

Located on a 1+ acre within one of Miami’s most sought-after neighborhoods, the 11,000 square-foot home will feature 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The virtual version will be a mirror image of the property. Michael Martinez with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is the exclusive sales agent for the project and plans to execute the transaction on the Ethereum blockchain. The metaverse mansion is expected to list for auction in 2022 with a yet to be disclosed reserve price.

“Being able to leverage my expertise to pair a homeowner with real and virtual property is something I never imagined being a part of, it’s exhilarating,” said Martinez, the top agent at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. “We look forward to finding a buyer for this spectacular property and being involved in a momentous deal in this new era of homeownership.”

Chris Bosh's Former North Bay Road Estate Sells To Crypto Industry CEO Of MoonPay For $38 Million

Ivan Soto-Wright, the co-founder and CEO of crypto payment system MoonPay, has acquired Miami Heat icon Chris Bosh’s former Miami Beach estate on North Bay Road for $38 million. MoonPay is a London-based online payment system for cryptocurrencies which just recently MoonPay hit a $3.4 billion valuation following a new $555 million funding round led by Tiger Global Management and Coatue. Albert Justo and Mirce Curkoski with The Waterfront Team at One Sotheby’s International Realty were the listing agents and Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman represented the buyer. No comment has been made about the method and terms of transaction.

Bosh sold the same home in January 2021 for $14.4 million to AquaBlue Group, led by Philippe Harari, who would renovate the home before relisting it for $42 million and selling to Soto-Wright for $38 million. The massive price increase reflects the strong demand for waterfront real estate in Miami.

Upon arrival into the lushly landscaped property, guests will be greeted by a living green wall and a garden courtyard area with water installations that highlight the home's perimeter. The gut-renovated home features seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, with wood and stone finishes throughout. The double-height great room is surrounded in glass, highlighting the captivating views of the bay and garden. Each corner of the home is intentionally and perfectly positioned to flow seamlessly together with high-end finishes from custom millwork to Italian marble slabs.

The grand master suite offers large closets, oversized bathroom with tub and dual sinks, morning kitchen and of course, stunning views. The kitchen features a custom Italian expansive chef’s kitchen with a huge island. The outdoors offers a mosaic tile infinity pool, a detached outdoor kitchen and cabana bathroom plus a separate guest quarters. The fully automated smart home also features a commercial-grade elevator and more.

Celebrity neighbors include Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner, with former star owners including Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. The home is seeking an overall record, but still lower price per square foot ($3,500) when compared to other recent sales like the sale of Phil Collins and Jennifer Lopez’s former home at 5800 North Bay Road which sold for $39 million at about $4,000 per square foot.

A partnership between Related Group and Integra Investments have announced plans for The St. Regis Residences, Miami, an uncompromising new condominium set to redefine Miami’s skyline. The two-tower property is set at the pinnacle of design, combining the talents of Robert A.M Stern Architects (RAMSA) and Rockwell Group spearheading architecture and interiors, respectively. The 354 bespoke residences set across both towers will offer an equally sophisticated experience. Homes will range from a 1,300 sf one-bedroom to a 7,000 sf duplex, with prices starting at $2,000,000. The project has a sell-out expected to exceed $2 billion.

“Miami is truly coming into its own and Brickell is at its epicenter,” says Jon Paul Pérez, President at Related. “Much like the first St. Regis hotel solidified New York City as the global hub for culture, commerce and society 100+ years ago, our plans for this property cement Brickell as an international metropolis for a new era of connoisseurs.”
