Porsche Design Tower, Bentley Residences, and Aston Martin Residences collectively represent $2.1 billion in disclosed construction value across Miami-Dade County, with Pagani and an unnamed German marque planning 2027 groundbreakings. No other North American city hosts more than one automotive-branded residential project. Miami now has five operational or under-construction, with three more in permitting.
The cluster emerged between 2016 and 2024. Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles Beach—$560 million, 132 units, completed 2016—delivered car elevators to penthouses and established unit economics that justifiedFollowOns. Bentley Residences broke ground in 2023 at $520 million for 216 units, while Aston Martin Residences topped out in 2024 at $400 million for 391 units. Pagani disclosed a $350 million North Bay Village site purchase in March 2025. The projects share three developers: Dezer Development, Gil Dezer personally, and a joint venture pairing Related Group with an undisclosed European family office.
The structure works because the automaker receives licensing fees—typically 2-4% of gross unit sales—plus design-consultation revenue, while avoiding construction risk. Developers gain 15-22% unit-price premiums over comparable non-branded inventory, per Miami Residential Research Group data covering 2022-2024 sales. Bentley's average presale unit price of $4.2 million compares to $3.1 million for same-tier Sunny Isles Beach inventory delivered in the same 24-month window. The automaker also secures a permanent dealership or service center in the podium, locking high-net-worth owners into the brand ecosystem for vehicle purchases, maintenance, and eventual trade-ins.
Miami works as the laboratory because 43% of luxury condo buyers in Miami-Dade since 2020 were foreign nationals, according to National Association of Realtors metro-level data, and 68% of Porsche Design Tower's original buyers held non-U.S. passports. The concentration of Latin American wealth, favorable tax treatment for non-resident owners, and absence of state income tax create conditions unmatched in Manhattan or Los Angeles, where domestic buyers dominate and sales taxes erode margins. Bentley Residences presold 72% of inventory before foundation completion, with $312 million in closed or under-contract sales by September 2024. Developers now treat brand partnerships as risk-mitigation tools, not marketing add-ons.
Allocators and family offices should watch Pagani's North Bay Village permitting process through Q1 2026, as the marque's limited production volume—fewer than 300 cars annually—tests whether ultra-niche brands can command residential premiums. Also watch for Mercedes-AMG or Lamborghini to announce Miami partnerships by mid-2026, as both marques have held developer meetings since late 2024. The third signal: whether resale values for Porsche Design Tower units, now trading 18-24 months post-original-purchase, hold their premiums. Early resales in Q2 2025 showed 8-11% appreciation over original contract prices, but the sample size remains under 20 transactions.
If resale strength persists through 2026, expect automotive-brand residences to spread to Dubai, Singapore, and São Paulo, where developers have already requested proposal templates from Bentley and Aston Martin's licensing divisions.
The takeaway
Five auto marques now operate Miami residential projects worth **$2B+**, with presale data showing **15-22%** price premiums over non-branded inventory.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.
