Porsche Design Tower is unlike almost any other building in Miami, and that starts with its elevators. This is the tower famous for the Dezervator, a robotic car lift that carries residents and their vehicles straight from the street into a private sky garage next to their living room.
It is a remarkable piece of engineering, but it also means moving into or out of this building involves a different kind of planning than a standard high rise. Here is what you need to know about elevator access, reservations, and how to move without disrupting one of the most unique systems in Miami real estate.
Porsche Design Tower sits oceanfront at 18555 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach, rising roughly 60 stories with just 132 residences spread across the tower.
Because the building was engineered around this car elevator concept, understanding which elevator does what is the first step in planning any move.
The Dezervator is built exclusively for vehicles. Residents drive into a ground floor entry room, the car is secured onto an automated platform, and the system lifts the car, with passengers inside, directly into the resident's private sky garage. It is not designed or used for furniture, boxes, or moving equipment.
Moving crews and residents instead use the building's standard passenger and service elevators to bring belongings up to each residence. This distinction matters because reserving the wrong system, or assuming the Dezervator handles move day logistics, is a common misunderstanding for anyone unfamiliar with how the building actually operates.
Because Porsche Design Tower has only 132 residences, elevator demand is lower than in a high density tower, but the reservation process is still something management controls closely given the building's layout and the value of the finishes throughout.
Booking early avoids the scramble of trying to secure a slot once your moving company already has a truck scheduled.
Moving Through a Building With No Traditional Loading Dock
Porsche Design Tower's ground floor is built around the Dezervator system rather than a conventional loading dock, which means moving logistics need to be discussed with the building in more detail than a typical tower.
Your moving company should confirm exactly where trucks are permitted to park. How far equipment needs to travel from that point to the service elevator, and whether any additional protection is required for shared spaces during a move.
Between a car elevator system unlike anything else in Miami, a ground floor built for vehicles rather than moving trucks, and finishes that are genuinely expensive to repair, Porsche Design Tower is not a building where a general moving crew should be learning as they go.
Our white glove moving service in Miami is built for buildings exactly like this, coordinating directly with property management on elevator reservations and insurance requirements, and handling every piece with the level of care this address expects.
Confirm your certificate of insurance is submitted and accepted. Reserve your service elevator window early and confirm it does not conflict with Dezervator traffic on move day. Walk through the ground floor logistics with your moving company ahead of time, since there is no standard loading dock. Decide if anything needs temporary climate controlled storage. And choose a mover who already understands how this building's unique layout works, so move day goes as smoothly as the Dezervator itself.
