Vertical construction at Bentley Residences Miami has crossed a visible threshold: the tower has now passed Level 7 and is climbing at a pace of roughly one floor every five to six working days, according to a June 2026 report from PROFILEmiami. For a project billed as the world's first and only Bentley-branded residential tower, the move from foundation to a rising structure is the moment a long-anticipated address starts to take real shape on the Sunny Isles Beach skyline.
Developed by Dezer Development in collaboration with Bentley Motors at 18401 Collins Avenue, the oceanfront tower is designed to reach 62 stories and 716 feet — positioning it, on completion, among the tallest oceanfront residential buildings in the country. Below is what this Bentley Residences construction update covers, and why steady progress on a tower like this matters to anyone weighing a purchase.
Construction update: past Level 7 and rising
The headline from the latest update is straightforward: construction has surpassed Level 7 and continues to rise rapidly. Crews are advancing the structure at approximately one floor every five to six working days — a cadence that turns an abstract rendering into a measurable, week-over-week ascent.
That momentum follows an earlier milestone that set the stage for the vertical climb. The project's mat foundation pour, executed by Coastal Construction, was reported as the largest residential construction pour in Florida's history and the second-largest foundation pour in the nation. Dezer Development has said the tower is on track for completion in 2028. As with any active development, timelines reflect the developer's stated targets and can change.
“Going vertical is a meaningful milestone for Bentley Residences Miami and a testament to the strength of our vision and execution,” said Gil Dezer, President of Dezer Development, in the announcement, adding that the firm looks forward to delivering a one-of-a-kind residential experience as the tower rises.
About Bentley Residences Sunny Isles
Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Bentley Motors, Bentley Residences Sunny Isles is planned as a 216-residence tower built around an automotive theme that runs from the architecture down to the furnishings. Its signature feature is the patented Dezervator — a car elevator that carries residents and their vehicles directly into glass-enclosed private sky garages within their own units, the same concept Dezer pioneered at the nearby Porsche Design Tower.
Per the developer, residences feature open-concept floor plans, floor-to-ceiling windows, private balcony pools, and three- to four-car in-home sky garages. Building amenities are slated to include Proper English by Todd English — a residents-only restaurant from the four-time James Beard Award-winning chef — plus roughly 20,000 square feet of resort-style space with a spa, fitness center, cinema, lounges, pet spa, and an oceanfront beach club. These are among the elements that distinguish Bentley branded residences from the broader field of Sunny Isles luxury condos.
What this means for buyers
For buyers, a tower that is visibly rising is a different proposition from one that exists only on paper. As floors stack up, the building's footprint, orientation, and relationship to the ocean become tangible rather than theoretical, and the path toward the developer's stated 2028 completion target becomes easier to picture. A documented construction record — from a record-setting foundation pour to a consistent floor-by-floor pace — gives prospective purchasers concrete progress to evaluate as they do their own due diligence.
None of this is a forecast about value. We don't make predictions about pricing, appreciation, or returns; conditions change, and every purchase is individual. What construction progress offers is information — the kind of milestone reporting that helps serious buyers ask better questions before they commit. For broader context, our Florida pre-construction hub tracks how rebates work across Miami pre-construction condos.
Why register before visiting the sales gallery
Here is the part many buyers learn too late. At a branded pre-construction tower, the order in which you make contact can determine your representation — and whether a buyer-agent commission rebate is even on the table. The moment you walk into the sales gallery, register on the developer's site, or submit an inquiry directly, your information may be routed to the developer's sales team, which can affect your representation options.
Establishing buyer representation before that first contact is what preserves your standing and keeps a potential rebate in play. If you've already inquired, it isn't necessarily lost — but each additional direct contact can make it harder, so it's worth a conversation before you take another step.
The buyer rebate opportunity
When buyer-agent compensation is available on a purchase and a rebate is permitted under your buyer-representation agreement, your lender, and your closing terms, TheBuyerRebate.com can credit a portion of that compensation — up to half — back to you at closing, while you receive full, Florida-licensed buyer representation throughout. On a tower priced like Bentley Residences, where compensation is typically calculated as a percentage of the purchase price, the dollars involved can be significant.
A rebate is never automatic or guaranteed: it depends on whether compensation is actually offered and received, and on the terms of your agreement and closing. We confirm any figure in writing before you commit. You can see exactly how this applies on our Bentley Residences buyer rebate page, and learn more about the surrounding market on our Sunny Isles Beach neighborhood page.
The bottom line
With Bentley Residences Miami now past Level 7 and climbing toward its planned 62 stories, the project has moved from anticipation into steady, visible execution in Sunny Isles Beach. For buyers, that progress is a reason to get informed — and to get represented — before stepping into the sales gallery.
Sourced from publicly reported construction news (PROFILEmiami, June 11, 2026). Project details, pricing, availability, and timelines are set by the developer and are subject to change. A buyer rebate is not guaranteed and is possible only where buyer-agent compensation is received and a rebate is permitted under your agreement, lender approval, applicable Florida rules, and closing terms.
