From futuristic car elevators that whoosh you and your ride (preferably, a Porsche) to your condo in the sky to coordinated chopper pickups from a helipad floating on Biscayne Bay, the sky’s not even the limit at these over-the-top Miami residences. Check out the novel amenities driving the latest luxury projects to hit Miami’s real estate market.
If you invented the first-ever robotic elevator for automobiles, wouldn’t you name it after yourself? Enter the trademarked “Dezervator,” named for local developer Gil Dezer. The patented lift system inside the Porsche Design Tower, a 60-story high-end condo property, whisks owners and their rides (preferably the swanky European kind) directly up to their homes in the sky. Forgot something in your car? No need to schlep downstairs: Your baby awaits just outside the door.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach
The folks behind the Ritz-Carlton Residences have found a way to make air travel more bearable for their future denizens: by skipping the traffic altogether. Opening later this year, the Piero Lissoni–designed waterfront condos will include free rides via the house yacht to a navigable marine helipad nearby. Once there, a Miami Executive Helicopter choppers you to your private jet for a getaway. All this comes without ever braving the TSA or the 836.

Oh, and did we mention the Wall Street Trader’s Club Room, complete with ticker tape? After all, life can’t be all play.
