Updated on Oct. 14, 2026 in Construction
The Vita at Grove Isle complex has opened its doors, bringing 65 new residences to a private island site in Coconut Grove. The development spans three seven-story buildings situated along the shore of Biscayne Bay.
Why it matters
This project represents a significant addition to the local luxury housing stock in Coconut Grove. Engineering teams navigated complex site conditions by redesigning the foundation to integrate new piles alongside existing ones uncovered during demolition.
The development features 65 residences totaling over 230,000 sq ft across three seven-story structures. While the building is now open, the project required a unique foundation redesign to accommodate existing precast piles that could not be removed.
The players
Vita at Grove Isle
The newly completed 65-unit residential condominium complex in Coconut Grove.
The details
Crews successfully built the complex after engineers redesigned the foundation to thread new piles between old ones left from prior construction. The property includes 14 high-end penthouses, each equipped with private rooftop pools and amenity decks. This construction milestone marks the completion of a major redevelopment project on the island.
Timeline
The project reached completion by October 14, 2026.
Beyond the 305
This project follows the pattern of intensive site redevelopment seen in the 2017 reconstruction of Grove Isle. It marks a significant shift in the island's density and architectural footprint relative to the original structures that previously occupied the site.
Residents and neighbors near the island will see the transition from an active construction zone to an occupied luxury complex. The shift signals the completion of infrastructure work that required foundation-level adjustments.
The takeaway
The opening of Vita at Grove Isle brings a new chapter to the Coconut Grove waterfront with its 14 penthouse-level amenities. Keep an eye on the island's traffic patterns as residents begin moving into the 65-unit complex.
