Grove at Grand Bay

The Grove at Grand Bay, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), is an 11-acre, twin-tower residential complex in Coconut Grove, Miami. The undulating design echoes the waved roofline of historic homes in the neighborhood, while the expansive balconies and lush vertical gardens provide residents with a direct connection to the outdoors.

Offering 966 contemporary one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, units feature clean lines, sleek kitchens, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the views. Sustainable design elements, like energy-efficient appliances and recycled materials, contribute to the complex's LEED Silver certification.

Parkline Miami Beach
