Bentley Bay Residences
Bayfront Living on West Avenue
Arquitectonica’s design gives the tower its identity: a curving glass facade that maximizes bay views from every residence. Interiors follow through with European fixtures, custom closets, and sound-insulated bedrooms, a quiet, well-built feel that long-term owners value.
Other West Avenue bayfront options include The Floridian, the 32-story landmark; Mondrian South Beach, the condo-hotel with flexible rentals; Murano Grande, an established bayfront residence; and Icon South Beach, the 40-story tower on the bay.
The West Avenue corridor runs along Biscayne Bay with sunset views, quick access to the Venetian Causeway, and Lincoln Road minutes away. Bentley Bay’s bayfront position (without oceanfront pricing) makes it a practical luxury choice in South Beach.
Bentley Bay's Venetian Islands address is South Beach's private-island alternative: gated, waterfront, and minutes from everything without the tourist flow. The Venetian Causeway connects to the mainland in minutes, and the island's own marina serves boaters. Lincoln Road is a short drive east, Joe's Stone Crab ($$$$) the dinner default, and Sunset Harbour's restaurants are close. Island buyers also compare Floridian and South Bay Club.
