Porsche Design Tower is the building that turned the garage into part of the home: a glass cylinder on the Atlantic where a patented car elevator lifts the resident's car up to a private garage inside the unit itself. It is a finished, branded asset of just 132 residences, and today it has a resale market of its own.

Developed by Dezer Development in collaboration with Porsche Design, the tower delivered in 2017 on Collins Avenue with roughly 60 floors and some 132 large-format residences —three to five bedrooms, several with a private pool on the terrace—. Its signature is the Dezervator, the patented car elevator that takes the vehicle at ground level and raises it, through a robotic system, to the glass sky garage of each unit: the resident never leaves the car until reaching their floor.

For today's buyer what matters is not the elevator spectacle but the secondary market: which units owners are reselling, at what price per square foot, and what the tower offers for rent. This page orders that —live inventory for sale and for rent, how to read value, and the buying process— so you reach the offer with judgment.

What makes the tower different

Porsche Design Tower's value is not just the brand: it is a product idea almost no one else could replicate. Among what defines it:

The differentiator · Live MLS

Live building inventory

These are the units available for sale RIGHT NOW, filtered to the building on the MLS. The list updates on its own. Each card opens the full MLS detail with photos and data.

Inventory provided by the MLS through MIAMInmobiliario's IDX platform, with its notices and terms. If you see no units, there is currently nothing listed on the MLS for that filter: leave your details and we'll alert you the moment one comes up.

How the value reads: view, floor and line

In a one-of-a-kind building, two units of the same size can be worth very different amounts. Three variables explain almost the entire price difference:

The view

Not every orientation is worth the same. Direct-ocean residences —east exposure— command the premium; those facing the Intracoastal and the city trade below, though they get the sunsets. And within the tower, garage capacity and terrace size weigh on price. Before comparing prices, you have to compare exposure, floor and configuration.

The floor

Price per square foot rises with height: more light, less obstruction and, on the high floors, the best view. The value jump between the mid-rise and the upper floors is usually larger than the square footage suggests.

The line

Each line —the stack of units sharing a position on the floor plate— has its own terrace and exposure. Knowing which line you're looking at, and its resale equivalent, is the difference between paying market and overpaying. This is where an advisor who knows the building adds real value.

The resale thesis

Buying in resale, rather than preconstruction, changes the risk profile. Construction and delivery risk disappear: the tower is built, the elevator system operates and the unit is physical. In exchange, you compete for scarcer inventory —132 units in total— and the price already carries the finished-product and brand premium.

The right question is not whether Porsche Design Tower is iconic —it is— but whether the specific unit is well bought: price per square foot against the tower's recent sales, the quality of the line and its garage capacity, and the margin against what that unit would ask in rent. For the investor dollarizing into a trophy, irreplaceable, rental-liquid asset, a well-chosen unit combines scarcity, brand and a beachfront that is hard to replicate.

Buying process for the foreign buyer

You need no visa, residency or citizenship to buy in Miami. What's worth understanding before you make an offer:

Structure: in your name or through an LLC

In your personal name there is exposure to U.S. estate tax —an exemption of only US$60,000 for non-residents— which is why many foreign buyers acquire through a Florida LLC, sometimes with a holding company above. It is not always worth it: it depends on the amount, the use and your estate. Define it with your accountant before closing, and it helps to first understand buying in Miami as a foreigner.

Financing: the non-resident does qualify

You can buy all-cash or with a foreign national loan —typically 30%–40% down, a slightly higher rate and documentation your bank or accountant can assemble—. Many buy cash and weigh refinancing later.

FIRPTA: the withholding when the seller is foreign

In resale, many sellers are also foreign. FIRPTA requires the buyer to withhold a percentage of the price (typically 15%) toward the seller's tax. It costs you nothing as the buyer, but it affects closing and is a negotiating lever best handled with the closing agent.

Frequently asked questions

Can you buy resale at Porsche Design Tower? Yes. The tower delivered in 2017 and there is an active secondary market of owners reselling, plus units for rent. Available inventory shows live above.

How much does a unit cost? It depends on the line, floor, view and garage capacity —from several million to far higher figures in the tallest residences and the penthouses—. Current pricing is in the live inventory, not a fixed number.

How does the car elevator work? The Dezervator is a robotic system that takes the resident's car at ground level and lifts it to a private glass garage inside the unit itself, without the driver stepping out of the vehicle.

Can a foreigner buy? Yes — no visa or citizenship, all-cash or with non-resident financing, and often through a Florida LLC.
