Developer Michael Dezer has resolved one of the drawbacks to condo living: namely, the experience in which you have to park your car in the garage and then take an elevator to your unit, all while carrying groceries and herding the children or pets. To say Michael Deezer is a car guy is a massive understatement—he has car museums in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Las Vegas full of hundreds of his personally-owned vehicles. So when he built the sleek, black, 60-story Porsche Design Tower directly on the beach in Sunny Isles in 2016, he added a very unique feature: the “Dezervators.” Three massive elevators whisk even full-size SUVs aloft at 800 feet per minute from the three-story lobby directly to a garage in the owner’s condominium unit, where it resides behind a glass wall, and in the case of collectible cars, can be displayed for the owner and guests.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls throughout the unit ensure an unobstructed, mesmerizing view of the Atlantic Ocean. (Courtesy of The Carroll Group)The owners of this 3,415-square foot, three-bedroom, four and half-bath unit on the 20th level recently completed a $1 million renovation that included an all-black Poggenwold kitchen, shagreen doors, marble flooring, and fully-furnished it with Restoration Hardware pieces. Ten-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass walls throughout ensure a great view of the ocean or the Intracoastal Waterway. The open floorplan allows the owners to converse with family or guests in the lush living room or seated at the breakfast bar, while preparing a meal in the very spacious kitchen. The living room also affords a great view of the vehicles in the unit’s two-car garage if so desired, or they can be tucked behind a curtain. The terrace is ideal for relaxing to the sounds of the waves on the beach below, especially while enjoying the unit’s private pool. The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet, a sitting area, and an unobstructed view out over the ocean. The oversized master bath features a large-step-in shower with dual shower heads, a soaking tub, and dual vanities.
The building amenities include a lobby restaurant, 200 feet of beach frontage, private wine lockers, 24-hour concierge, a ballroom, spa, and a heated pool.
The airy, very welcoming living room backs up to the glass-walled car garage, where the owner can display their vintage or exotic automobiles. (Courtesy of The Carroll Group)Unit #2005
