Arbor, Coconut Grove's Newest Boutique Condo Project Releases New Renderings
Arbor, Coconut Grove's newest boutique condo development from Urban Atlantic Group and Oak Ventures, has released new renderings. The newly released renderings of Arbor include a kitchen and master bath, as well as a shot of the northeast corner of the building. As illustrated within the images, interior designs by Samuel Amoia and architectural designs by Behar Font & Partners are inspired by the tree-shaded setting of the project’s historic Coconut Grove surrounding, mindfully pulling the outdoors in through full-length windows, private gardens and sizable living areas.
“The images we’re unveiling further demonstrate that Arbor goes well beyond the norm of a standard development…a project crafted with a strong emphasis on livability and a sense of place,” said Nick Hamann, a Miami native, Coconut Grove resident and Principal with Urban Atlantic Group. “Our vision has been to create large, house-like residences that capitalize on wide views, special amenities and walkable access to area hot-spots and recreational facilities – essentially, the quintessential home-sites for long-term members of this vibrant community.”
“Having grown up in South Florida, Nick and I have always had a tremendous appreciation for Coconut Grove, its longstanding roots and multitude of unique offerings,” said Jeremy Waks, Principal of Oak Ventures, who also hails from Miami. “We have specifically drawn inspiration from these hallmarks to build something that pays homage to the social threads of the neighborhood, its ‘green’ composition and community-centered attributes.”
Arbor is an eco-living inspired development that will rise 5-stories and feature 52 units. The building is being designed by Behar Font & Partners with landscape design by Witkin Hults and Tyler Nielsen. Units will come in 2 and 3 bedroom layouts finished ranging from 1,400 SF to 2,000 SF and will come delivered with porcelain woodgrain floors and top-of-the-line appliances. Units will also feature glass walls, high ceilings and large family-style living spaces. Duplex loft and townhome style units will feature 20' ceilings while flat units will get 10' ceilings. There will also be 4 penthouses with private terraces. Amenities include a courtyard pool deck with pool and grilling areas along with a "bicycle concept" described by Nick Hamann of Urban Atlantic Group, which will allow residents to store, share and service their bikes. Units start at $799,000 targeting families that have been priced out of the Coconut Grove market but still want to live in the residential community. Urban Atlantic Group is headed up by Nick Hamann and Oak Ventures by Jeremy Waks. Sales will be overseen by Douglass Elliman as the exclusive sales broker for the project. The sales gallery just opened and the developers are expecting to break-ground in July and plan to deliver the units to buyers in fall of 2018. Check-out our original feature on the project from February 2017.
LointerHome Plans 27@Lincoln, A Boutique Mixed-Use Building in Coconut Grove

This is one of the Grove’s most desirable office addresses, and is perfectly positioned to offer residents a better per square foot deal than offices in Brickell,” said Amanda De Seta, the founder of LointerHome.

PROFILE Exclusive: Transforming Coconut Grove with David Martin of Terra
PROFILEmiami had the exclusive opportunity to sit down with David Martin, one of the founders of Terra and the mastermind behind Park Grove and Grove at Grand Bay. Find out how he is helping transform Coconut Grove into one of Miami's hottest neighborhoods.
PM: You guys have been integral in transforming Coconut Grove. What do you think of the recent new developments in Coconut Grove and the new energy they have brought?
DM: I think it is about time. I think that the world and the city is realizing a lot of the amazing assets thats Coconut Grove has. It has amazing parks, amazing schools, amazing people. Geographically it is strategically located to a lot of different other neighborhoods as well. Now with the Grove at Grand Bay project that we did, it was big, and now Park Grove with Related, I think that this is developing into a neighborhood with new architecture as well as with some of the old Florida architecture as well. It has a good diversity and design and I think that there is a lot of new restaurants that are coming and a lot of new retail. Coconut Grove is a neighborhood that has a lot of components but it is very quite and peaceful. That quiet innocence is what people are looking for to raise their families, or spend time with their families. A lot of our buyers are empty nesters so they're looking for urbanism and walkability so that tree canopy here and walkability is very important as well.
PM: How did the concept for Park Grove and the partnership between Terra & Related Group come about?
DM: My father (Pedro Martin) and Jorge (Perez) have been very good friends for many years and I have always respected a lot of Related's team so we decided to do this together and we are working to see how we can get the best out of each organization and really put it in place here in Coconut Grove. We are very excited and happy with the partnership. We were both going after the same site and we decided to do it together.
PM: Coconut Grove has seen some great towers be built in recent years. You guys built Grove at Grand Bay next door, what sets Park Grove apart from these other developments? What makes it so unique?
DM: Grove at Grand Bay is 3 acres, this one (Park Grove) is over 5 acres. Park Grove is a little more connected to the retail district and village. The amount of amenities in Park Grove is a significant number so those are some of the unique things. Also the residences, Park Grove's columns are on the exterior of the building while the columns at Grove at Grand Bay are in the interior of the residences.
PM: What is the best feature that residents will enjoy?
DM: Two things, the ceiling heights are pretty significant. Were talking about 12 feet which is an important component. Most of the comparable buildings are 9 or 10 feet. The views and the design of this building is very intellectual and very "amenitized" so I think residents are going to see a lot of see a lot of services here that is unique to other buildings.
PM: What will Park Grove mean to Coconut Grove and Miami in the short & long term?
DM: I think that there is a few things. This development will bring over 200 families to come live and be part of Coconut Grove's urban life. Also the tax revenue from this development is going to create a good financial engine for the city to create projects that will improve people's lives.
PM: Where do you see Coconut Grove's place in Miami in the next 5 to 10 years?
DM: What is interesting about Coconut Grove is that it has very restrictive zoning so I don't see many opportunities. I think that this (Park Grove) is one of the last sites left to really build something of significant scale so most of the Grove is either single family residential or T-5 in the urban district which is 5 stories so overall I think that this is going to be a unique project for many years.
