Myrtha Pools to build 208 pools for Bentley Residences Miami
A new landmark is taking shape along one of the most iconic stretches of South Florida’s coastline. Bentley Residences Miami is a distinctive 62-storey tower with a faceted design that, once completed, will become the tallest residential building on a beach in the United States. Almost all of its 216 residences will feature a pool designed and built using Myrtha technology. Construction is already under way, with completion scheduled for mid-2028.
“Myrtha Pools is proud to have been selected once again by Dezer Development and to collaborate with a prestigious brand such as Bentley on this extraordinary project,” says Roberto Colletto, CEO of Myrtha Pools. “Designing and supplying more than 200 pools within a single oceanfront tower is a clear demonstration of what our modular stainless-steel technology can achieve when height, precision and luxury need to come together in perfect harmony.”
Bentley Residences Miami is being developed by Dezer Development in collaboration with Bentley Motors. One of the features that has attracted international attention is the “Dezervator”, the lift that transports residents’ cars directly to their private garages on the upper floors. Less visible, but equally ambitious, is what lies beyond those garages, on the terraces of the luxury residences: 208 pools designed and supplied by Myrtha Pools.
A project of this complexity requires the involvement of highly experienced partners. Recreational Design & Construction, RDC Design Build, which has already worked with Myrtha Pools on iconic projects including Porsche Design Tower, SLS Brickell and The Bristol, was therefore selected as the aquatic contractor for the development.
“RDC and Myrtha have been working together for 33 years, delivering numerous landmark projects. Myrtha was the only possible choice for Bentley Residences, thanks to its combination of construction precision, proven technology, design excellence and engineering support, resulting in a superior-quality final product,” says Joe Cerrone, President of Recreational Design & Construction.
Building more than 200 pools and ensuring complete waterproofing within a single tower, from the amenities level on the third floor to the penthouses on levels 60 and 61, represents a significant engineering challenge, particularly in a building designed to withstand hurricane-force winds exceeding 200 km/h.
Traditional concrete pools are heavy, require longer installation times and are difficult to adapt to different depths. Myrtha’s modular stainless-steel technology was developed to overcome these limitations, offering millimetre-level precision, reduced weight and faster installation, even on the highest floors.
This precision is reflected in the six different pool types planned for Bentley Residences, covering a total water surface area of more than 3,600 square metres, an exceptional figure for a residential building.
The east- and west-facing residences will feature exclusive mirrored pool layouts designed to accommodate the reversed floor configurations. The north- and south-facing apartments will have a purpose-designed configuration, while the luxury penthouses will include fully customised pools and hydrotherapy spas. On the third floor, residents will be able to step out from the bar and restaurant onto a terrace featuring an oasis-style pool, palm trees, a hydrotherapy spa and views across the ocean.
“The collaboration on Bentley Residences confirms Myrtha technology as a global benchmark in the design of rooftop pools for the hospitality and luxury real estate sectors,” says Mike Mintenko, Sales Director of Myrtha Pools USA. “We are excited to work once again with Recreational Design & Construction to push the boundaries of aquatic engineering and construction even further.”
Work is already under way, and construction of the tower is progressing rapidly. At the same time, Myrtha’s exclusive modular technology will take shape across the various terraces, with 208 pools being delivered in close coordination with the progress of the building. This is not the first time Myrtha Pools has been selected for projects of this complexity, both in Miami and in other international markets. The Italian company also built all the pools at the nearby Porsche Design Tower, another iconic Dezer Development project. Bentley Residences now represents the evolution of that development on an entirely new scale, with a contract worth approximately USD 9 million.
Bentley Residences Miami was designed by Sieger Suarez Architects, with interiors by Bentley Home Collection. Residence prices start at USD 5.8 million for city-facing units and USD 8.85 million for those overlooking the ocean. Myrtha Pools technology is making this exceptional project possible, the same technology used across six editions of the Olympic Games and selected by some of the world’s most prestigious international hotel groups, including Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, Four Seasons, Six Senses and Mandarin Oriental.
