About Bentley Bay

Riccardo Olivieri is an international renowned developer and urban visionary. Olivieri began transforming the South Beach landscape in 1994 with the purchase a multi-million dollar renovation of The Bentley Luxury Suites Hotel, the first condo-hotel on Miami Beach. This boutique hotel situated on Ocean Drive is a favorite with celebrities including John Travolta, Ricky Martin, Ivana Trump and Diana Ross. The Bentley Beach, the first five star oceanfront condo hotel in South Beach's trendy South Fifth neighborhood scheduled to open Spring 2002 and The Bentley Bay, two luxury residence towers and marina slated for early 2003, are Olivieri's latest Miami Beach ventures. In late 1998 Olivieri won a landmark lawsuit against the city of Miami Beach that set a precedent for developer's rights on all future projects. Prior to building his South Beach portfolio, Olivieri helped develop Pinecrest into one of South Florida's most sought after neighborhoods, while building high-end luxury homes in the South Miami area and Coral Gables. Before his USA ventures, Olivieri built and refurbished numerous projects throughout Europe and the Middle East for international clientele including Her Royal Highness Princess Shams Pahl, the sister of the Shah of Iran, and members of the royal Saudi Arabia Family. An authority on historical preservation, he has led the restoration of luxury residences in Geneva, London and Paris' Avenue Montaigne. Born in Venice, Italy, Olivieri cultivated his appreciation for art and design while running Murano Glass, the family business. A true humanitarian, Olivieri supports charitable causes throughout the world, including the International Ball, the most prestigious fund raiser in the world, organized every year by the Red Cross of Monaco of which Prince Albert Ranieri is the president.   PROPERTY FEATURES A brand new 170 luxury condominiums overlooking Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami from South Beach.
