Sole Penthouse at Vita at Grove Isle
A two-level penthouse with a private rooftop pool at Vita, on Grove Isle, a private 20-acre island in Coconut Grove, Miami
Executive Overview
Sole PH1 is the largest residence at Vita at Grove Isle, a two-level penthouse set atop the only new-construction building on Grove Isle, a private 20-acre island in Biscayne Bay reached solely by the gated Grove Isle Drive bridge from Coconut Grove. Architecture is by CallisonRTKL with S&E Architects, and the interiors and wellness spaces are by the Italian studio A++ (ARCH GROUP); the penthouse itself is delivered fully furnished by Artefacto.
The residence spans roughly 7,027 square feet of interior across two levels and adds about 5,665 square feet of terraces, for close to 13,000 square feet under private control. Four bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms open through walls of glass that fully retract, with ceilings of eleven feet in the main living spaces and waterfront terraces thirteen feet deep. A private elevator opens into a grand foyer, and a sculptural stair connects the living level to a rooftop given over almost entirely to the outdoors.
That rooftop is the defining gesture: a private 40-foot pool, a summer kitchen, and a terrace running some 97 feet along the water, oriented to uninterrupted views of Biscayne Bay and the downtown Miami skyline. Below, the island carries a private marina, a members' club, a bayfront pool, and a Baywalk Promenade at the water's edge, shared by only 65 residences.
This is not simply a penthouse. It is a private rooftop estate on a private island.

Living Experience
The penthouse lives as two distinct worlds stacked in one home: a main level held quietly against the water, and a rooftop that belongs entirely to the sky. Floor-to-ceiling glass retracts along the living and dining spaces so that the eleven-foot ceilings and the bay read as a single continuous room, while the thirteen-foot terraces function as outdoor salons rather than balconies.
Furnished throughout by Artefacto, the interior favours restraint and natural material over ornament, letting the water set the tone. The principal living and dining room runs nearly forty feet wide, the primary suite opens directly to the bay, and a sculptural stair draws the eye up toward the rooftop and its pool.
- Two-level layout with a private elevator opening into a grand foyer and 6-foot-wide galleries
- Molteni kitchen with Miele appliances and integrated wine storage, plus a summer kitchen on the rooftop
- Primary suite facing Biscayne Bay with a book-matched marble bath and spa-inspired design
- Private 40-foot rooftop pool with upper and lower decks and a bayfront terrace running approx. 97 feet
- Frameless Barausse doors, Crestron smart-home integration, and Lutron HomeWorks lighting throughout
- Walls of glass that fully retract to connect every principal room to the terraces and the water
The result is a home that lives like a private villa in the sky, held above the island yet open to the bay on every side.
Unique Value Proposition
Sole PH1 occupies a positioning gap that is structurally difficult to reproduce, for several distinct reasons.
First, the asset itself: it is the single largest residence at Vita, with a private rooftop pool and summer kitchen that no other home in the building carries. Second, the site: Grove Isle is a 20-acre private island, and there is no comparable parcel of unbuilt island land inside Miami's urban core. Third, scale: only 65 residences share the entire island and its amenities, a ratio no mainland tower can match. Fourth, permanence: the marina, promenade, and club are already built and operating, so the setting is a delivered reality rather than a future promise.
- The largest residence at Vita, and the only one with a private 40-foot rooftop pool
- A 20-acre private island address minutes from Brickell and Coral Gables
- Only 65 residences sharing the island's marina, club, and amenities
- Delivered fully furnished by Artefacto and move-in ready, not off-plan
This is not simply a scarce penthouse. It is a one-of-one rooftop estate on a finite private island.
Investment Perspective
The investment case rests on structural positioning rather than projected return. Waterfront land inside Miami's core is effectively built out, and island land of this kind - already entitled, developed, and amenitised - does not come to market. As the single largest residence on the island, Sole PH1 sits at the top of a resale pool of just 65 homes, with a private rooftop pool that has no direct equivalent in the building.
Directly comparable inventory is limited: most new Miami supply is high-density mainland or oceanfront towers, few of which offer a private marina, gated island access, and a duplex penthouse with its own rooftop pool together. Because the building is fully delivered and the residence is furnished and move-in ready, the construction and timing risk that accompanies off-plan alternatives is removed.
No specific return projections are implied.
Design & Brand Pedigree
The penthouse's credibility comes from its design partnership. Architecture is by CallisonRTKL, a global practice with more than seven decades of work, alongside Miami-based S&E Architects, while the interiors and wellness spaces are the work of A++, the international brand of Italy's ARCH GROUP.
That authorship carries through to the fixtures and the furnishings: a Molteni kitchen with Miele appliances, frameless Barausse doors, book-matched marble in the primary bath, and a full Artefacto furniture package, integrated with Crestron and Lutron control. The level of finish stays consistent from the island's amenity spaces to the interior of the home rather than a superficial specification.
Private Access
Access to full documentation is arranged privately on request. Detailed floor plans, the furnishing schedule, finish specifications, and current availability are available upon request.
Location Benefits
Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest neighbourhood and one of its most established, a canopy of banyan and oak along the edge of Biscayne Bay that has always drawn people who want the water and the shade rather than high-rise density further north. Grove Isle sits just offshore, connected by a single private bridge, so it belongs to the Grove's sailing-and-village character while standing physically apart from it. From the penthouse rooftop, that geography reads at a glance: the island below, the bay on every side, and the downtown Miami skyline across the water.
- Mainland Coconut Grove village - across the private bridge
- Brickell financial district - approx. 15 minutes
- Coral Gables and Miracle Mile - approx. 15 minutes
- Miami International Airport - approx. 20 minutes
- Miami Beach - approx. 25 minutes
The Grove balances marina life, waterfront parks, and a walkable core of restaurants and boutiques with quick access to Miami's business and cultural centres. For a buyer, it offers the rare combination of a settled, low-rise neighbourhood and a genuine private-island address within minutes of the city.
FAQ
Sole PH1 is the largest residence at Vita and the only one with a private rooftop pool. It is a two-level penthouse of roughly 7,027 square feet of interior plus about 5,665 square feet of terraces, topped by a 40-foot pool, a summer kitchen, and a terrace running some 97 feet along the water. Set on Grove Isle, a private 20-acre island reached only by a gated bridge, it pairs a one-of-one rooftop estate with an island setting shared by just 65 homes. Very few Miami penthouses combine a private rooftop pool, retractable walls of glass, and a gated island address.
The residence is at 5 Grove Isle Drive on Grove Isle, a private island just off Coconut Grove, Miami's oldest bayfront neighbourhood. Access is across a single private, security-staffed bridge, which keeps the island physically separate while placing the mainland Grove village minutes away. Brickell and Coral Gables are each roughly fifteen minutes away, and Miami International Airport is about twenty. From the rooftop, the position delivers uninterrupted views of Biscayne Bay and the downtown skyline without the density of a mainland tower.
Sole PH1 is a two-level penthouse with four bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, spanning approximately 7,027 square feet of interior and about 5,665 square feet of terraces - close to 13,000 square feet in total. The main level holds the principal living and dining spaces, the primary suite, and a Molteni kitchen, all opening to 13-foot waterfront terraces through walls of glass that fully retract. The upper level is a private rooftop with a 40-foot pool, upper and lower pool decks, a summer kitchen, and a bayfront terrace. Ceilings reach eleven feet in the main living areas.
Yes. The residence is delivered fully furnished by Artefacto, the internationally recognised furniture house, and is move-in ready following the building's completion in 2025. Interiors carry a Molteni kitchen with Miele appliances, frameless Barausse doors, book-matched marble in the primary bath, and integrated Crestron smart-home and Lutron HomeWorks lighting control. Buyers can view and occupy a completed, furnished home rather than relying on renderings.
The island carries a full amenity set shared by only 65 residences: a private marina with boat slips, two pools including a bayfront pool, a spa with saunas and steam rooms, and a fitness center. Outdoors there are lighted tennis courts, padel and pickleball courts, a children's playground, and a Baywalk Promenade encircling the island at the water's edge. Residents receive a house membership to the Grove Isle Club, with its own bayfront pool and waterfront restaurant. Concierge service, valet, and a gated, staffed entry complete the offering, all in addition to the penthouse's own private rooftop pool.
The penthouse suits a buyer who wants the single best residence in a boutique island building rather than one of many similar homes in a tower. Its private rooftop pool, summer kitchen, and expansive terraces make it well suited to entertaining, while the gated island setting and private marina appeal to those who value security and boating. Because it is delivered fully furnished and move-in ready, it works equally as a primary residence or a seasonal home for an international owner. Given the scale and price, the typical buyer is a primary or secondary residence owner rather than a yield-driven investor.
Three factors reinforce one another: this is the largest residence and the only rooftop-pool home on a 20-acre private island with no comparable unbuilt land inside Miami's core; the building holds just 65 residences, which limits the resale pool; and the island's marina, club, and promenade already operate, so the setting is delivered rather than promised. Most competing Miami supply is high-density mainland or oceanfront product, few examples of which combine gated island access, a private marina, and a duplex penthouse with its own rooftop pool. That scarcity narrows the pool of true substitutes. No specific return projections are implied, but the underlying drivers are structural rather than cyclical.
