Grove at Grand Bay
Grove at Grand Bay is the building that announced Miami's arrival as a destination for world-class architecture. Designed by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group and developed by Terra Group, these twin towers were Bjarke Ingels' first completed residential project in the United States — and they remain among the most photographed buildings in South Florida. Each tower rotates 38 degrees from base to rooftop, a feat of structural engineering that was unprecedented at this scale when the project delivered in 2016. The effect is both sculptural and practical: every residence captures unique sightlines across Biscayne Bay, the Coconut Grove canopy, and the downtown Miami skyline.
The interiors match the ambition of the exterior. Every residence features 12-foot ceilings — genuinely rare in Miami condominiums, where 9 to 10 feet is standard even in luxury product. Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps each unit, and the twisting geometry means no two floor plates are identical. With only 98 residences across both towers, Grove at Grand Bay delivers the kind of exclusivity that larger buildings simply cannot replicate. Private elevator access, dedicated storage, and thoughtfully proportioned layouts reflect a European sensibility that BIG is known for bringing to residential design.
The grounds are equally considered. Landscape architect Raymond Jungles — Miami's most celebrated landscape designer — created over three acres of lush tropical gardens that integrate native plantings with sculptural hardscape. The property sits directly on South Bayshore Drive in the heart of Coconut Grove, walking distance to CocoWalk, the village center, and the waterfront parks that make this neighborhood Miami's most pedestrian-friendly enclave. Grove at Grand Bay also holds the distinction of being the first residential tower in Miami-Dade County to achieve LEED Gold certification, a reflection of the building's commitment to sustainability in both construction and ongoing operations.

Why Buyers Choose Grove at Grand Bay
BIG's Iconic Twisting Design
Grove at Grand Bay is BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group's first completed residential project in the United States. The 38-degree rotation from base to rooftop was the tallest twisting structure in the Western Hemisphere at delivery — a genuine architectural landmark that has only appreciated in cultural significance since 2016. Owning here means owning a piece of architectural history.
12-Foot Ceilings Throughout
Every residence at Grove at Grand Bay features 12-foot ceilings, a specification that is exceptionally rare in Miami condominiums where even luxury product typically delivers 9 to 10 feet. Combined with floor-to-ceiling glass and the building's unique rotating geometry, these proportions create a sense of volume and light that competing buildings simply do not offer.
LEED Gold Sustainability
As the first residential tower in Miami-Dade County to achieve LEED Gold certification, Grove at Grand Bay was built to a standard of environmental performance that most Miami buildings still have not matched. This translates to energy-efficient systems, improved indoor air quality, lower operating costs, and a building engineered for long-term durability and responsible resource use.
Seven Pools and Waterfront Living
The amenity program includes seven pools — among the most extensive pool offerings of any boutique condominium in Miami — highlighted by a rooftop infinity-edge pool with panoramic Biscayne Bay views. Combined with over three acres of Raymond Jungles-designed tropical landscape and the walkable Coconut Grove lifestyle, the building delivers a resort-caliber living experience within a genuine neighborhood setting.
Our Take on Grove at Grand Bay
About Grove at Grand Bay
Grove at Grand Bay: BIG's Iconic Twisting Towers in Coconut Grove
Grove at Grand Bay holds a singular place in Miami's architectural history. Delivered in 2016, the twin twisting towers were the first completed residential project in the United States by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group, the Copenhagen and New York-based firm that has since become one of the most influential practices in global architecture. The building's dramatic 38-degree rotation from base to rooftop was an engineering milestone — at completion, it was the tallest twisting structure in the Western Hemisphere. For buyers seeking a residence that is also a work of significant architecture, Grove at Grand Bay remains without equal in Miami.
Developed by Terra Group under the leadership of David Martin, the project reflected a deliberate effort to elevate the standard of design in South Florida. Every detail was considered in collaboration with BIG's team: the 12-foot ceilings that give each residence a sense of volume rare in Miami condominiums, the floor-to-ceiling glass that wraps the twisting form, and the way the rotation ensures that no two residences share the same view. With only 98 units across both towers, the building delivers a level of exclusivity that larger developments cannot match.
The grounds, designed by Raymond Jungles, extend the ethos of the architecture into the landscape. Over three acres of tropical gardens integrate native plantings with sculptural pathways, creating an environment that feels like a natural extension of Coconut Grove's celebrated tree canopy. Grove at Grand Bay was also the first residential tower in Miami-Dade County to achieve LEED Gold certification, reflecting a commitment to sustainable design that was ahead of its time in the Miami market.
Located on South Bayshore Drive in the heart of Coconut Grove, residents enjoy walkable access to CocoWalk, the neighborhood's waterfront parks, and a village center that offers a lifestyle distinct from the vertical density of Brickell or the resort atmosphere of Miami Beach. For discerning buyers evaluating the Coconut Grove market, Grove at Grand Bay represents the rare convergence of world-class architecture, proven construction quality, and an irreplaceable location — qualities that continue to underpin its position as the neighborhood's most architecturally significant residential address.

Miami Real Estate Market Intelligence
Market Context: The Miami-to-Northeast and Miami-to-California migration has converted from pandemic-era spike to structural relocation. Miami’s millionaire population grew approximately 78% between 2013 and 2023. Geographic constraint is binding: ocean, bay, and Everglades pin supply. December 2025 medians: Miami Beach condo $620K, Brickell condo $580K. Luxury condominium price per sq ft: $1,200-$3,500+, extending to $2,000-$4,500+ on Fisher Island and $1,800-$4,000+ at South of Fifth.
Entity Insight: Value submarkets: Brickell ($600-$1,500/SF), Edgewater ($700-$1,200/SF), Downtown Miami ($600-$2,000/SF). Trophy submarkets: Fisher Island, Sunny Isles Beach ($1,500-$3,500/SF, dense branded-residence inventory), South of Fifth. Branded benchmarks include Four Seasons Surf Club ($2,200-$3,500/SF), St. Regis Sunny Isles ($1,800-$2,800/SF), and Porsche Design Tower ($1,600-$2,400/SF). Miami now carries more hotel-branded residences than any other Western Hemisphere city.
Buyer Signal: Structural inputs compound: no state income tax (vs. 10.9% NY, 13.3% CA), no estate tax, 78% decade millionaire growth, and construction-cost inflation. Current pre-construction inventory was financed and broken ground before 20-50% tariffs landed on steel, aluminum, concrete, and lumber, effectively the last tranche of pre-tariff pricing. Florida SB 264 restricts acquisitions by nationals of certain countries within 10 miles of military installations and must be screened at contract stage for international buyers.

Miami Real Estate FAQs
What are Miami’s current condominium medians?
December 2025: Miami Beach $620K, Brickell $580K. Luxury condominium stock runs $1,200-$3,500+ per sq ft, extending to $2,000-$4,500 on Fisher Island and $1,800-$4,000 at South of Fifth.
Why is Miami attracting UHNW capital structurally?
Zero state income tax (versus NY 10.9%, CA 13.3%), no estate tax, a 78% decade growth in the millionaire population (2013-2023), and geographic constraints that cap long-run supply. These are structural inputs, not cyclical.
What does the construction-cost tariff environment mean for current inventory?
Current pre-construction inventory was financed and broke ground before 20-50% tariffs landed on steel, aluminum, concrete, and lumber. Replacement-cost pricing on the next development cycle is expected to rise materially. Current allocations represent the last tranche of pre-tariff pricing.
What is Florida SB 264 and how does it affect international buyers?
Florida SB 264 restricts property acquisitions by nationals of seven countries (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Syria) within 10 miles of military installations. The restriction must be screened at contract stage and may require entity-structure adjustments to comply.
What are typical monthly carrying costs on a Miami condominium?
HOA $0.80-$2.50 per sq ft per month, property tax ~2% of assessed value annually, HO-6 insurance $2,000-$5,000+ annually, flood insurance $500-$3,000+. A 2,000 sq ft condo runs $1,600-$5,000 per month in HOA alone.
What are the post-Surfside inspection requirements?
Buildings 3+ stories must undergo structural inspections at year 30 (year 25 if coastal), then every 10 years. Associations must fully fund reserves; reserve waivers are no longer permitted. Older buildings carry special-assessment risk; inspection and reserve-study review is required at due-diligence.
