About Vita Grove Isle

Vita at Grove Isle is bringing unprecedented luxury to Miami's Coconut Grove neighborhood with 65 ultra-luxury residences on the exclusive 20-acre private island of Grove Isle. Developed by renowned Miami developer Ugo Colombo's CMC Group, this boutique 7-story condominium features architecture by CallisonRTKL and S&E Architects, with interiors by Italian designers Carlo and Paolo Colombo of A++ Architecture. Located at 4 Grove Isle Drive, just offshore of Coconut Grove's mainland, Vita offers something extraordinarily rare: private island tranquility combined with proximity to one of Miami's most beloved neighborhoods, featuring expansive three- to four-bedroom residences ranging from 2,500 to over 6,600 square feet, two waterfront pools, tennis and padel courts, and boat slips for waterfront living. With delivery completed in December 2025 and closings now underway, this is a unique opportunity to secure immediate occupancy in Miami's only private island residential community.

About Vita at Grove Isle

Vita at Grove Isle represents the vision of Ugo Colombo, one of Miami's most respected luxury developers and founder of CMC Group. Since establishing CMC Group in 1986, Colombo has redefined luxury residential development in Miami with an uncompromising commitment to quality, design excellence, and enduring value. His portfolio includes some of South Florida's most distinguished addresses, and Vita continues this legacy with an emphasis on boutique scale, private island exclusivity, and sophisticated Italian design.

The architectural vision comes from global design firm CallisonRTKL in collaboration with Miami-based S&E Architects, creating a building that respects Grove Isle's natural landscape while providing contemporary luxury. The development comprises three interconnected buildings named Mare, Luce, and Sole (Sea, Light, and Sun in Italian), arranged in a single curved form that follows the island's shoreline. This thoughtful site planning maximizes water views while preserving the island's lush tropical character.

Interior design by Italian architects Carlo and Paolo Colombo of A++ Architecture brings European sophistication to island living. The Colombos' design philosophy emphasizes natural materials, clean lines, and the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces—perfectly suited to Grove Isle's waterfront setting. Residences incorporate smart home technology, Italian-sourced marble finishes, and integrated lighting and climate systems that emphasize both luxury and functionality.

What distinguishes Vita is its private island setting. Grove Isle is a 20-acre island connected to Coconut Grove's mainland by a private gated bridge, creating a resort-like enclave that feels worlds away from urban Miami while remaining just minutes from the neighborhood's restaurants, shops, and marinas. The island setting provides security, privacy, and tranquility unavailable in mainland developments, with lush tropical landscaping, waterfront walking paths, and 360-degree water views throughout the property.

Following receipt of the building's Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) in December 2025, closings have now commenced, with residents beginning to take ownership and prepare for move-ins. This delivered status eliminates construction risk and provides immediate occupancy for buyers seeking to enjoy their new island home without delay.

Vita at Grove Isle Location & Neighborhood

Situated at 4 Grove Isle Drive on the private island of Grove Isle, Vita occupies one of Miami's most unique addresses. The 20-acre island sits just offshore of Coconut Grove, accessed via a private gated bridge that separates island residents from the mainland while maintaining proximity to everything that makes Coconut Grove exceptional.

Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood, known for its European village atmosphere, lush tree canopy, and bohemian-meets-luxury character. The neighborhood offers a lifestyle distinct from Miami's high-rise urban districts—walkable streets lined with sidewalk cafes, independent boutiques, art galleries, and a strong sense of community. CocoWalk and the Grove's commercial district provide shopping and dining, while Peacock Park and Kennedy Park offer green space along the waterfront.

For boating enthusiasts, Coconut Grove is Miami's sailing capital, home to numerous marinas, yacht clubs, and sailing schools. The Grove's waterfront location on Biscayne Bay provides easy access to open water, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas. Vita's location on Grove Isle places residents at the center of this boating culture, with private boat slips and immediate bay access.

The island setting provides something increasingly rare in Miami: true privacy and security. The gated bridge access ensures that only residents, their guests, and island club members can access Grove Isle, creating a safe, tranquil environment ideal for families and individuals seeking refuge from urban density. The island's lush landscaping, mature trees, and waterfront setting create a resort atmosphere that feels more like the Caribbean than Miami.

Despite the island's seclusion, connectivity to the rest of Miami remains excellent. Downtown Miami and Brickell are approximately 15 minutes north, Miami Beach is easily accessible via the Rickenbacker Causeway through Key Biscayne, and Miami International Airport is approximately 20 minutes away. The location balances island tranquility with urban proximity—a rare combination in South Florida real estate.

Grove Isle's history as a private island retreat adds to its appeal. The island has long been home to a yacht club and hotel, establishing an infrastructure of amenities and services that Vita residents can access. The island's mature landscaping and established character distinguish it from newly developed waterfront sites, providing an authentic sense of place uncommon in new construction.

Residences & Floor Plans

Vita at Grove Isle features 65 ultra-luxury residences across a boutique 7-story building, creating an intimate island community where every home is a statement residence. The building offers exclusively spacious three-, four-, and four-bedroom-plus-den configurations, with residences ranging from 2,500 square feet to over 5,000 square feet. The crown jewel of the development is a collection of twelve exclusive penthouses, each featuring private rooftop terraces with pools, measuring up to 6,600 square feet.

The boutique scale—just 65 residences—creates an exceptionally low density for a waterfront development, ensuring privacy and exclusivity unavailable in larger towers. With such limited inventory sharing the island's extensive amenities, Vita offers a club-like community atmosphere more akin to a private estate than a traditional condominium.

Interior Features:

A++ Architecture's interior design showcases Italian craftsmanship and sophisticated materials. Residences feature Italian-sourced marble throughout bathrooms and select living areas, creating a sense of European luxury. Custom Italian kitchens incorporate top-tier appliances, elegant cabinetry, and stone countertops that emphasize both beauty and functionality. Master bathrooms offer spa-like environments with luxurious fixtures, soaking tubs, and sophisticated finishes.

All residences incorporate smart home technology with integrated lighting, climate control, and audiovisual systems, providing seamless control of home environments through smartphone or tablet. The technology integration is discreet, maintaining the clean aesthetic while providing modern convenience.

The residences emphasize the indoor-outdoor connection essential to island living. Expansive terraces extend living spaces outdoors, with protected areas for year-round use and open spaces for capturing bay breezes. The penthouse rooftop terraces with private pools represent the ultimate in Miami luxury—private outdoor living spaces with unobstructed water views in every direction.

Pricing and Availability:

Pricing starts at $6.5 million, reflecting the development's ultra-luxury positioning, private island location, and spacious floor plans. Earlier in the sales process, pricing averaged approximately $1,700 per square foot for standard residences and $2,500 per square foot for penthouses. The pricing reflects the scarcity value of private island living and the extensive amenity package included with ownership.

With closings now underway following December 2025 delivery, remaining inventory provides immediate occupancy—an increasingly rare opportunity in Miami's luxury market where most new construction involves years of waiting for completion.

Amenities at Vita at Grove Isle

Vita at Grove Isle delivers a comprehensive amenity package that transforms the private island into a personal resort, with extensive recreational facilities, wellness amenities, and waterfront access throughout the property.

Waterfront Pools:

Two distinct waterfront pools serve residents and club members, providing resort-style swimming with Biscayne Bay views. The pools feature different atmospheres—one designed for family use with a more active environment, the other emphasizing tranquility and adult relaxation. Poolside lounging areas, cabanas, and attentive service create a five-star resort experience.

Members-Only Clubhouse:

The exclusive club room provides elegant social spaces for residents, with lounge areas, a sophisticated bar, and billiards room. The clubhouse serves as the social heart of the island community, hosting resident events and providing a setting for entertaining guests. The waterfront location captures bay views and breezes, creating an indoor-outdoor experience.

Wellness & Fitness:

A Technogym-equipped fitness center provides state-of-the-art equipment with water views, emphasizing wellness within a beautiful natural setting. The full-service spa features treatment rooms for massages and spa services, along with sauna, steam rooms, and cold plunges for comprehensive wellness experiences. The spa's waterfront location and sophisticated design create a retreat-like atmosphere for daily wellness routines.

Tennis, Padel & Pickleball:

Vita's active recreation facilities include lighted tennis courts for day and night play, padel courts bringing the increasingly popular European sport to Miami, and a pickleball court for the fastest-growing racquet sport in America. The variety of court sports ensures residents have diverse options for fitness and social competition. The island setting provides a resort-like tennis club atmosphere.

Waterfront Access & Boating:

Private boat slips provide direct vessel access for residents, allowing owners to dock boats steps from home. The island's waterfront location on Biscayne Bay provides immediate access to open water, making Vita ideal for boating enthusiasts. An outdoor entertainment area along the waterfront creates perfect settings for sunset gatherings and waterfront dining.

Family Amenities:

A dedicated children's playground provides safe, engaging outdoor space for young residents, with equipment and landscaping designed to integrate with the island's natural beauty.

Dining:

An upscale restaurant on the island provides fine dining without leaving the property, creating a resort-level amenity uncommon in residential developments. The restaurant serves both residents and yacht club members, creating a sophisticated dining venue for special occasions and casual meals alike.

Additional Services:

24-hour security, concierge services, valet parking, and package management provide seamless daily convenience and ensure the island remains a secure, well-maintained retreat.

Investment Opportunity

Vita at Grove Isle presents a compelling investment opportunity for ultra-high-net-worth buyers seeking something truly unique in Miami's luxury real estate market. The private island location provides inherent scarcity value—there are no other private island residential communities in Miami, making Vita's offering irreplaceable. This scarcity creates long-term value protection, as the product cannot be replicated regardless of market conditions.

Coconut Grove continues to experience significant appreciation, driven by the neighborhood's limited land availability, mature character, and appeal to sophisticated buyers seeking alternatives to Miami's high-rise urban districts. Vita's island location within the Grove provides the best of both worlds—proximity to the neighborhood's culture and amenities while maintaining private island seclusion. The combination positions Vita for strong long-term appreciation as Miami's luxury market continues to evolve.

The December 2025 delivery and current closing activity mean buyers purchasing remaining inventory receive immediate occupancy in a completed building. This eliminates construction risk entirely and allows for immediate personal use or rental activation. The delivered status also means buyers can physically tour actual residences rather than relying on renderings and sales materials, providing complete transparency on what they're purchasing.

From a rental perspective, Vita's private island setting, extensive amenities, and boutique scale create exceptional differentiation in Miami's luxury rental market. The island location appeals to high-net-worth individuals seeking privacy and security, while the resort-level amenities and boat slips attract lifestyle-focused renters. The limited inventory of just 65 residences means less competition for rental demand, while the spacious floor plans (minimum 2,500 square feet) command premium rental rates.

Ugo Colombo's reputation as one of Miami's most quality-focused developers adds value assurance. CMC Group's buildings are known for superior construction quality, attention to detail, and long-term value retention. Colombo's developments consistently maintain their value and prestige decades after completion, providing confidence for buyers making substantial investments.

The boat slips and waterfront access add significant value for boating enthusiasts, effectively combining a luxury residence with marina access in a single purchase. For yacht owners, this integration of home and vessel storage creates lifestyle convenience while potentially offsetting the cost of separate marina slips elsewhere in Coconut Grove.
