Rooted in a legacy of vision and innovation, Dezer Development has become one of South Florida’s most influential real estate firms, led by founder Michael Dezer and president Gil Dezer. Known for shaping entire neighborhoods and introducing brand-partnered residential concepts to the market, the company brings together decades of expertise in large-scale development, engineering-forward design, and long-term community stewardship.
Michael Dezer’s early work transforming New York’s Chelsea district established his reputation for recognizing potential long before it becomes obvious. His expansion into South Florida in the 1980s positioned Dezer Development as one of the largest oceanfront property owners in Sunny Isles Beach. Today, Michael continues to guide the company’s growing portfolio while also curating the Dezer Collection Museum—one of the world’s largest private automotive collections.
As president, Gil Dezer has redefined the branded-residence landscape, spearheading collaborations with Porsche Design, Armani/Casa, Bentley Motors, and The Related Group. His leadership has delivered some of the region’s most recognizable towers, including Porsche Design Tower, Residences by Armani/Casa, Hyde Midtown, and the forthcoming Bentley Residences Miami. Known for maintaining active relationships with residents long after a project is delivered, Gil brings both forward-thinking strategy and genuine community engagement to every development.
With projects ranging from oceanfront high-rises to mixed-use destinations such as Uptown Harbor, Dezer Development continues to influence the future of Florida’s built environment. The company’s work reflects a shared commitment to design, service, and long-term value qualities that have defined the Dezer name for more than five decades.
