Porsche Design Tower
The oceanfront tower at 18555 Collins Avenue that put a car elevator in the sky. A complete guide to the residences, the Dezervator, the amenities, and how to buy at one of Sunny Isles Beach's most recognizable addresses.
The Building
What Makes Porsche Design Tower Different
Porsche Design Tower sits directly on the sand at 18555 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, a 60-story cylinder of glass developed by Dezer Development and completed in 2017. It is one of the most talked-about condominium towers in South Florida, and the reason is simple: it is the building where you can drive your car into an elevator, ride up the side of the tower, and step out next to your living room.
That single idea, the patented Dezervator car elevator, reshaped everything else about the building. Instead of a traditional parking garage, residents have private sky garages attached to their homes, so a collection of cars becomes part of the living space rather than something left downstairs. For a certain kind of buyer, an owner who genuinely loves their cars, there is nothing else like it in Miami.
Beyond the spectacle, this is a full-service oceanfront building with 132 residences, direct Atlantic frontage, and the finishes and service level you would expect at the top of the Sunny Isles market. It appeals to buyers who want a turnkey, amenity-rich home on the beach with a genuine point of difference, not just another glass tower on Collins Avenue.
The Residences
Floor Plans & Living Spaces
Residences at Porsche Design Tower are built around wide oceanfront exposures and generous outdoor living. Most homes are flow-through layouts that capture both the sunrise over the Atlantic and the sunset over the Intracoastal, with floor-to-ceiling glass and expansive terraces.
- Private sky garages for two to four cars, delivered right to the residence by the Dezervator.
- Summer kitchens and private plunge pools on the terraces of many residences, a rarity in a high-rise.
- Large half-floor and full-floor homes, typically three to five bedrooms, with private elevator entry into most units.
- Finished interiors with premium appliances, motorized systems, and Porsche Design detailing throughout the common spaces.
Because layouts, car counts, and exposures vary meaningfully from floor to floor, two residences of similar size can carry very different values. The right home here depends on how you weigh ocean frontage, garage capacity, and floor height, which is exactly the kind of nuance worth walking through before you tour.
The Signature Feature
The Dezervator And Sky Garages
The Dezervator is a patented glass car elevator that lifts residents and their vehicles up the exterior of the tower and delivers them to a private garage beside their residence. You pull in at ground level, stay in your car, and arrive at your floor with your vehicles parked in view of your living space.
For collectors, the sky garage is the whole point. Your cars are not tucked away in a basement, they are a curated part of the home, visible through glass and lit like a gallery. It is also a genuine security and privacy feature: you move from street to residence without ever crossing a public lobby or handing keys to a valet. This is the detail that makes Porsche Design Tower unlike anything else in Sunny Isles Beach, and it is a large part of why the building holds its identity in the resale market.

For Buyers
Buying At Porsche Design Tower
A few things are worth understanding before you make an offer in this building:
- Car capacity drives value. The number of sky-garage spaces attached to a residence is one of the biggest differentiators in pricing. Buyers who need four spaces are shopping a very different, smaller pool than those who need two.
- Floor and exposure matter as much as square footage. Direct oceanfront homes on higher floors command clear premiums, and flow-through layouts trade differently than single-exposure units.
- It is a resale building now. Completed in 2017, inventory comes from individual owners rather than a sales gallery, so the best homes are often quietly available rather than openly listed. Off-market access matters here.
- Understand the association. As with any full-service oceanfront tower, review the budget, reserves, and rules early, especially given Florida's post-2021 focus on condo inspections and reserves. A strong building on this front protects your value.
For serious buyers, the right first step is a private overview of what is actually available, including quietly held residences, along with a candid read on which floors and layouts hold value best.
