Bentley Bay

Updated June 2026

Bentley Bay is a pair of curved waterfront towers at 520 and 540 West Avenue in Miami Beach, built in 2004 and designed by Arquitectonica. The two towers rise 24 and 26 stories along Biscayne Bay in South Beach’s West Avenue corridor, with a landscaped amenity deck and an infinity-edge pool.

Bentley Bay opened in 2004 as two glass towers on Biscayne Bay, one running 24 stories and the other 26, with around 167 residences between them. Arquitectonica gave both towers their curved, sail-like profile, which is what makes the building read from across the bay. The landscaped amenity deck leans into the water, and the West Avenue address keeps you a short walk from South Beach without sitting in the middle of it.

Key takeaways

  • Bentley Bay is a 2004, two-tower waterfront building at 520 and 540 West Avenue, designed by Arquitectonica on Biscayne Bay.
  • The towers rise 24 and 26 stories, with around 167 residences and a landscaped amenity deck built around an infinity-edge pool.
  • There are 4 active units for sale at Bentley Bay, priced $975,000 – $2,790,000 (SEFMLS, live), so there is real, current inventory to compare against.
  • The West Avenue address puts you on the bay side of South Beach, a short walk from Lincoln Road and the ocean.

What it's actually like to live here

The bay is the selling point. Both towers sit right on Biscayne Bay, so west-facing units look straight at the water and the sunset, while the curved glass design means a lot of residences get an angled view rather than a flat one. The landscaped amenity deck keeps things simple but well done: an infinity-edge pool, a spa, a sauna and steam room, and a fitness center, all wrapped in landscaping. It is a quieter, more residential corner of South Beach than the oceanfront strip.

Bentley Bay sits right on Biscayne Bay, so the west-facing units look straight at the water and the sunset.

Floor plans and what units cost

Spread across two towers, Bentley Bay holds around 167 residences, with the bay-view layouts commanding the premium. As of the latest MLS pull there are 4 active units asking $975,000 – $2,790,000. The middle of that sat near $2,000,000, or about $1,400 a square foot (SEFMLS, live).

Monthly maintenance runs around $2,587 at the median across active units, which covers the amenity deck and building staffing. Always confirm the exact figure and what it includes for the specific unit you’re considering.

Bay-view layouts command the premium, which is the whole reason to be in this building.

The West Avenue location

The address is 520 and 540 West Avenue, on the bay side of South Beach. Lincoln Road’s shops are a short walk east, the ocean is a few blocks past that, and the West Avenue corridor has its own everyday mix of cafes and markets. The map, walk-time list, and nearby-buildings sections above show exactly what is within reach, on foot and by car.

Buying and owning at Bentley Bay

Bentley Bay opened in 2004 and has aged into one of the more recognizable buildings on the West Avenue waterfront, thanks to those curved Arquitectonica towers. There are currently 4 active units on the market (SEFMLS, live), so there is real, current inventory to price against. Inventory here tends to be tight, so units that come up on the bay side move on the view.

Before you commit, confirm three things in writing: the HOA dues and what they include, the current pet rules, and the minimum lease term if you plan to rent. On a waterfront building of this age, also ask about any recent or planned assessments, since that changes the real cost of ownership.
