Vita at Grove Isle
A collection of 65 waterfront residences on Grove Isle, a private 20-acre island in Coconut Grove, Miami
Executive Overview
Vita at Grove Isle is a collection of just 65 waterfront residences set on Grove Isle, a private 20-acre island in Biscayne Bay reached only by the Grove Isle Drive bridge from Coconut Grove. Architecture is by CallisonRTKL with S&E Architects, and the interior and wellness spaces are designed by the Italian studio A++ (ARCH GROUP), giving the building a single, coherent design authorship rather than a licensed name.
The seven-story building curves with the natural contour of the island, a form that orients nearly every residence toward open water and wraps each home in a terrace 13 feet deep. Three and four-bedroom residences run from roughly 2,500 to 5,000 square feet, while penthouses extend to 6,600 square feet of interior and add a private rooftop terrace with its own pool and summer kitchen. Kitchens are by Molteni&C and bathrooms are finished in book-matched Italian marble by Margraf, with cabinetry by Milldue and fixtures by Dornbracht.
Grove Isle is a rare piece of Miami geography: a gated, security-staffed island minutes from Brickell, Coral Gables, and Miami Beach, yet physically separate from all of them. Its Baywalk Promenade encircles the island at the water's edge, and a private marina, tennis and padel courts, and a members' club sit within the gates. These are not amenities bolted onto a tower. They are the conditions of living on a private island that cannot be reproduced on the mainland.
This is not simply a waterfront condominium. It is one of 65 keys to a private island.

Living Experience
Life at Vita is defined by water on nearly every side. The curved plan means residences open onto unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay, and floor-to-ceiling glass with ceilings above eleven feet pulls that light and horizon deep into each home. The 13-foot terraces function as outdoor rooms, wide enough to dine, lounge, and entertain against the water rather than merely step onto.
The interiors, designed by A++, favour restraint and natural material over ornament: book-matched marble in the primary spaces, Italian wood and lacquer cabinetry, and a quiet palette that lets the bay set the tone. Master bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas are all placed to face the water, so the view is a constant rather than a feature reserved for one room.
- Private in-residence elevator entry; ceilings of 11'3" in residences and 12'5" in penthouses
- Chef kitchens by Molteni&C with concealed Miele appliances and integrated wine storage
- Primary baths in book-matched Italian marble by Margraf, with Milldue cabinetry, Noorth soaking tubs, and Dornbracht fixtures
- Crestron smart-home pre-installation and Lutron lighting control throughout
- Bayfront pool and poolside bar, spa with sauna and steam, and a fitness center designed by A++
- Private marina, lighted tennis and padel courts, pickleball, children's playground, and a members' waterfront restaurant
The effect is a home that lives like a private retreat, held apart from the city yet minutes across the bridge from it.
Unique Value Proposition
Vita occupies a positioning gap that is structurally difficult to reproduce, for several distinct reasons.
First, 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. Second, scale: only 65 residences share the entire island and its amenities, a ratio no mainland tower can match. Third, permanence: the marina, promenade, and club are already built and operating, so the setting is a delivered reality rather than a future promise. Fourth, access: a single gated bridge and staffed gatehouse control who reaches the island at all.
- A 20-acre private island address minutes from Brickell and Coral Gables
- Only 65 residences sharing the island's marina, club, and amenities
- Gated, security-staffed access across a single private bridge
- Fully delivered and move-in ready, not off-plan
This is not simply a scarce building. It is a finite number of keys to a 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. A boutique count of 65 residences limits the resale pool and concentrates demand among buyers seeking privacy and genuine waterfront rather than a view of it.
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 low residence count together. That narrows the set of true substitutes for a buyer seeking this specific combination, and because the island is fully delivered, the construction and timing risk that accompanies off-plan alternatives is removed.
No specific return projections are implied.
Design & Brand Pedigree
Vita'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. The interiors and wellness spaces are the work of A++, the international brand of Italy's ARCH GROUP, which shaped the spa and fitness areas as well as the residence palette.
That authorship carries through to the fixtures and materials: kitchens by Molteni&C, marble by Margraf, cabinetry by Milldue, and fittings by Dornbracht and Miele, so the level of finish stays consistent from the amenity floors to the interior of each home rather than a superficial specification.
Private Access
Access to full documentation is arranged privately on request. Detailed floor plans, residence pricing, penthouse 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. The result is a location that reads as both central and secluded.
- 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 island address within minutes of the city.
FAQ
Vita sits on Grove Isle, a private 20-acre island in Biscayne Bay reached only by a single gated bridge from Coconut Grove, which sets it apart from the mainland and oceanfront towers that make up most of Miami's new supply. The building holds just 65 residences, so a small number of owners share the island's private marina, members' club, tennis and padel courts, and waterfront promenade. The curved seven-story form orients nearly every home to open water, with 13-foot terraces wrapping each residence. The combination of a private-island setting and a boutique residence count is very difficult to find elsewhere in the city.
Vita is located at 4 Grove Isle Drive on Grove Isle, a private island just off Coconut Grove, Miami's oldest and most established 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. The location matters because it delivers genuine island seclusion without giving up proximity to the city's business, dining, and travel hubs.
The building offers three and four-bedroom residences ranging from approximately 2,500 to 5,000 square feet, each wrapped by a 13-foot-deep waterfront terrace. Two-story penthouses extend to about 6,600 square feet of interior and add a private rooftop terrace with its own pool and summer kitchen. Four-bedroom residences begin around 8.4 million US dollars, while the two-story penthouses start near 21.3 million. A current price and availability schedule is provided on request.
Vita suits buyers who want privacy and genuine waterfront rather than a high-density tower with a view of the water. It appeals to owners who value a gated, low-count island community with a private marina, well suited to boat owners and to those who want resort-style amenities without leaving home. Because it is delivered fully finished, it works equally for primary residents and for seasonal or international owners who want a move-in-ready home. Given the size range and pricing, the typical buyer is a primary or secondary residence owner rather than a yield-driven investor.
The island carries a full amenity set shared by only 65 residences: a private marina with boat slips, two pools including a bayfront pool and poolside bar, a spa with saunas and steam rooms, and a fitness center designed by A++. Outdoors there are lighted tennis courts, padel and pickleball courts, a children's playground, and a Baywalk Promenade that encircles the island at the water's edge. Residents also receive a house membership to the Grove Isle Club, with its own bayfront pool and waterfront restaurant and bar. Concierge service, 24/7 valet, individual enclosed garages with EV-charging provisions, and a gated, staffed entry complete the offering.
Architecture is by the global practice CallisonRTKL with Miami-based S&E Architects, and the interiors and wellness spaces are designed by A++, the international studio of Italy's ARCH GROUP. Finishes are consistent throughout: Molteni&C kitchens, book-matched Italian marble by Margraf, Milldue cabinetry, and Dornbracht and Miele fittings. The building reached completion in 2025 and is delivered fully finished and move-in ready rather than as an off-plan project, so buyers can view and occupy completed residences rather than relying on renderings.
Three factors reinforce one another: a private 20-acre island site with no comparable unbuilt land inside Miami's core, a boutique count of just 65 residences that limits the resale pool, and a fully delivered setting where the marina, club, and promenade already operate. Most competing Miami supply is high-density mainland or oceanfront product, few examples of which combine gated island access, a private marina, and a low residence count. That scarcity narrows the pool of true substitutes for a buyer seeking this specific combination. No specific return projections are implied, but the underlying drivers are structural rather than cyclical.
