The NYC Exodus: How Political Changes Are Reshaping South Florida's Luxury Market
Before examining why Bentley Residences represents the pinnacle of South Florida luxury real estate, understanding the macro forces driving unprecedented demand from high-net-worth New Yorkers provides essential context.
Following New York City's mayoral election, the election "accelerated how people make decisions," with buyers expressing concerns about lifestyle impact, quality of life, taxes, and potential crime. Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's campaign included promises to add 200,000 affordable homes, freeze rents, impose a 2% millionaire's tax, and double the minimum wage.
Earlier this year, both West Palm Beach and Miami surpassed New York City as the world's fastest-growing wealth hubs according to Henley & Partners' report. ONE Sotheby's International Realty reported a 50% increase in website traffic from the New York area following the primary election.
As a former New York physician turned South Florida luxury real estate expert, I diagnose market shifts with the same precision I once brought to patient care. New York buyers are "becoming very aggressive" with their decision-making, creating a rush to Florida's luxury market that doesn't appear to be slowing down.
This migration represents more than political anxiety—it reflects strategic wealth preservation and lifestyle optimization by the nation's most sophisticated investors.
What Makes Bentley Residences Different
A $37.5 million penthouse launched at Bentley Residences Miami. The price matters, but what's inside reveals the real opportunity.
What Dezer Development created in this 62-story Sunny Isles Beach tower represents where ultra-luxury real estate is heading, and as a certified Buyer Agent Expert with a long standing relationship at this development, I'm committed to helping discerning buyers secure their place before general market access drives pricing higher.
The defining feature extends far beyond 22-foot ceilings, terraces that feel like backyards or private pools.
How the Dezervator Changes Everything
The patented Dezervator vehicle elevator system lets residents drive directly into their living space. Each unit includes a three- or four-car garage equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles, displayed in a glass-enclosed space within your residence. No valet interaction. No leaving your vehicle until you're home.
Dezer Development pioneered this system, with Coastal Construction serving as general contractor—the same team behind both Porsche Design Tower and the recently completed Aston Martin Residences. Their track record speaks volumes: 2,700 units sold generating over $3.6 billion across their branded portfolio.
The system delivers privacy and convenience at a level single-family estates provide, but 62 stories up with unobstructed ocean views.
Bottom line: The Dezervator solves the privacy challenge wealthy buyers face in high-rise living while creating a showcase for your automotive collection—a feature increasingly valued by New York buyers seeking both security and lifestyle elevation.
Why Automotive Brands Are Entering Real Estate Now
Here's what most buyers overlook about market timing.
Automotive branded residences currently hold 5% of the branded residence market. By 2025, projections show that share reaching 24% of the market. Bentley, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bugatti, Mercedes, and Porsche have all entered residential development.
These brands recognized their customers seek lifestyle integration beyond vehicle ownership. The strategy delivers results because branded residences command an average 30% price premium over comparable non-branded properties.
That premium reflects curated amenities, brand-aligned design philosophy, and association with a luxury identity buyers already embrace.
Key insight: Automotive brands bring established customer relationships and lifestyle alignment that translates directly into real estate value and buyer confidence.
What Bentley Residences Offers Discerning Buyers
The showcase penthouse spans four bedrooms and seven bathrooms, with a study, entertainment loft, and Gaggenau kitchen. Art Deco influences appear through curved walls, oak detailing, and crystal accents referencing Miami's architectural heritage.
The value extends beyond individual units. The building provides 20,000 square feet of amenities across three floors, including a spa, whisky bar, cigar lounge, cinema, wellness spa, oceanfront pool deck, and private restaurant curated by award-winning chef Todd English. A dedicated 114-square-foot pet spa features Bentley signature motifs throughout.
Residences feature expansive oceanfront terraces with private pools, floor-to-ceiling glass, Italian cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances, and spa-inspired bathrooms. Every individual balcony includes a private heated swimming pool, summer kitchen, and generous living area.
These aren't standard luxury amenities. They're lifestyle integration designed for residents who identify with the brand's values and commitment to excellence—the same values that attract successful New Yorkers seeking elevated living without compromise.
The difference: Every amenity reflects Bentley's design language and dedication to craftsmanship, creating a cohesive luxury experience from your residence to every shared space.
Strategic Timing for Qualified Investors
With completion expected in first quarter of 2028, qualified buyers have a limited window to secure units in a proven development model. Dezer Development's branded real estate portfolio includes Porsche Design Tower and Residences by Armani/Casa, demonstrating their ability to deliver exceptional results at this level.
The development broke ground in early 2024, and a $630 million construction loan in 2025 marks the largest financing deal in South Florida this year, with Bentley Residences now fully capitalized.
My cultivated relationships and local knowledge—including my decade-plus relationship with the Vice President of Sales at Bentley Residences—provide exclusive access to premier units and floor plans, often before they're available to the general market. For high-net-worth individuals seeking South Florida's most distinctive pre-construction opportunities, this represents first access to what will become one of Sunny Isles Beach's defining addresses.
With my unique blend of medical precision and luxury real estate expertise, I help you navigate South Florida's premium markets while maximizing your investment potential. My mission is to guide you to the closing table with outcomes tailored to your financial and lifestyle aspirations.
Strategic advantage: Pre-construction access at Bentley Residences offers price certainty and premier unit selection before strong demand from New York and other buyers drives pricing higher.
Why Working With a Certified Buyer Agent Expert Matters for Luxury Purchases
When investing $5.8 million to $37.5 million in a pre-construction luxury condominium, the distinction between a standard agent and a certified Buyer Agent Expert can mean the difference between securing the optimal unit at the best terms and missing exclusive opportunities entirely.
The certified Buyer Agent Expert designation demonstrates completion of advanced training focused on the specific needs of homebuyers and commitment to providing the highest level of service. Certified Buyer Agent Experts skillfully represent and advocate for buyers during negotiations, using market insight and negotiation tactics to secure favorable outcomes.
For luxury real estate transactions, this expertise translates into tangible advantages:
Exclusive Pre-Market Access: Certified luxury agents gain access to off-market or pre-market properties through specialized networks. My decade long relationship with Bentley Residences' Vice President of Sales provides my clients with awareness of exclusive units before public release.
Objective Advocacy: Buyer's agents provide unbiased, objective advice, helping assess a property's actual fair-market value and identify potential issues, thereby preventing costly mistakes. Unlike listing agents who serve the seller, buyer's agents work to prioritize the home buyer's best interests as a fiduciary responsibility.
Strategic Negotiation: The negotiation process in luxury real estate can be intricate, involving multiple stakeholders and significant sums of money, requiring experienced exclusive buyer agents who are adept negotiators.
Market Intelligence: A buyer agent who understands that today's luxury market isn't necessarily the same as six months ago will research the data, providing valuable insights about market trends, property values, and property history—crucial for making informed decisions.
Time Efficiency: Buying a property can take over twelve months and hundreds of hours on average, with most buyers finding the process stressful—a significant consideration for high-net-worth professionals.
My background as a physician informs my approach: I diagnose your unique needs, prescribe the optimal solution, and guide you through execution with precision and care. This methodology, combined with my certified Buyer Agent Expert credentials and exclusive relationships throughout South Florida's luxury market, ensures you secure the right property with favorable terms.

My decade long relationship with the Vice President of Sales at Bentley Residences positions me to provide awareness of exclusive units for qualified buyers before public release.

Why Now Is the Strategic Moment for High-Net-Worth New Yorkers
The convergence of multiple factors creates a unique window for sophisticated investors:
Migration Momentum: For the last 20 years, New Yorkers have been moving to Florida, buying homes and second homes, and this positive momentum will continue and grow stronger. The 1% of the population in New York City that pays 40% of New York taxes is quite nimble, and many are acting decisively.
Pre-Construction Advantage: Securing premium units at starting prices of $5.8 million before first quarter 2028 completion provides price certainty while the broader market responds to increased demand.
Tax Optimization: Florida's no state income tax policy creates substantial savings for high-earners, while buyers are coming to Florida when their pockets are full, bank accounts strong, and stock portfolios performing well.
Proven Developer: With $3.6 billion in sales across 2,700 units, Dezer Development has demonstrated execution capability in delivering automotive-branded luxury residences.
The combination of political uncertainty in New York, Miami and West Palm Beach emerging as the world's fastest-growing wealth hubs, and limited inventory at Bentley Residences creates urgency for qualified buyers who recognize this opportunity.
