Porsche Design Tower

Completed in 2017 by the Porsche Design Group, the tower holds 132 residences on Collins Avenue. Its defining feature is one most towers would treat as back-of-house: residents do not park and walk. A glass elevator takes the car itself up to the owner's floor and sets it down in a designated space beside the front door. Most homes hold two cars; the largest hold four.

The sky garage is a practical convenience and, equally, a privacy device: an arrival that no one in the lobby sees. Discreet street entrances behind an estate gate, landscaped grounds and round-the-clock security extend the same logic at ground level.

Residences run between 3,800 and 9,000 square feet on flow-through plans that open to the Intracoastal on one side and the Atlantic on the other. Finishes are specified individually: granite counters and backsplashes, top-tier kitchen appliances, marble bathroom floors with porcelain basins and whirlpool tubs. More than half the homes are laid out as duplexes with a private pool facing the ocean. Four hundred feet of white-sand beach runs along the front of the property.
