GD.8 and Element Development, LLC. have broken ground on GlassHaus, Coconut Grove's newest boutique condo project designed by Varabyeu Partners. The project is reportedly 50% sold. When complete the project will rise 5-stories and offer 23 luxury condominiums. Residences start at $595,000 and range up to $1.2 million, offered in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom layouts that range from 1,080 SF to 2,380 SF. Units will come complete with 11' ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, Italkraft cabinetry and stone countertops in the kitchen, and a buyer's choice of wood or porcelain floors. GlassHaus will also include a fitness center, electric bicycles, zen garden, resort-style rooftop including pool, summer kitchen and lounge and underground parking. Owners will also receive a membership to the Coconut Grove Sailing Club. Fortune International is in charge of sales and Glasshaus Coconut Grove is expected to be completed in 2019.

“I am very proud and excited that we are breaking ground on schedule,” said Javier Llurch, president of Element Development. “Glasshaus in the Grove is the first of many projects that we have planned along 27th Avenue - a bridge for the North and Center Grove neighborhoods.”
