PM: What makes Arbor so unique? What sets it apart from some of the other great new buildings that have been built in Coconut Grove recently?
NH: What sets us apart is our strong emphasis on livability and sense of place, a place where you can get to know your neighbors. Arbor is a midscale building with 52 residences, which we recently have not seen in Coconut Grove. This scale allows us to focus on the elements, design, and facilities that connect residents in a livable space and where they can get to know each other.
JW: Our amenities, which are geared toward end-users that enjoy an active lifestyle and sense of community, are specifically designed to feel more like an extension of your living space, rather than an offering that is underutilized. Throughout the building, we’ve focused on creating spaces that encourage residents to engage with each other and the surrounding neighborhood.
For example, our bike share program, which offers residents 24-7 access to bikes and provides an additional option for getting around the neighborhood. Our lobby will also be active and inviting. Also, our pet-walk, rooftop terrace, outdoor cinema, Yoga & Pilates deck, and backyard-like amenity deck (which features a landscaped courtyard, outdoor summer kitchens, social spaces and seating, a lap pool, and water fountain) are all designed to encourage engagement, livability, and to complement a well-balanced lifestyle and maximize indoor-outdoor living.
