The development houses 65 total residences across three seven-story structures, providing over 230,000 square feet of living space. The site also includes 14 penthouses equipped with private rooftop pools and amenity decks.
The players
Vita at Grove Isle
This newly constructed luxury condominium complex occupies a private island in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami.
The details
Engineers were forced to redesign the building foundation after discovering precast piles that could not be removed without breaking them. The construction team successfully threaded new foundation piles between the existing infrastructure to complete the project.
