VITA at Grove Isle Receives TCO; Closings Begin Next Week
VITA at Grove Isle—the highly anticipated private-island luxury development in Coconut Grove—has officially received its Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO), marking a major milestone for both buyers and the Miami development community. With TCO in hand, closings are now scheduled to begin next week, bringing the project’s seven-year journey from concept to completion into its final phase.
Developed by CMC Group and led by renowned Miami developer Ugo Colombo, VITA at Grove Isle is one of the rare newly completed waterfront luxury buildings on a private island. With only 65 total residences—each directly on the water—the building offers an exceptionally private, low-density living experience.
To give buyers and followers a true behind-the-scenes look, I recently filmed an exclusive walkthrough of the property with Chris Suarez of CMC Group, touring the amenities, members club, and an exquisitely finished residence. You can watch that full video tour below.
A Major Milestone: TCO Issued and Closings Underway
Securing the TCO signals that construction is substantially complete and the building has passed all required safety inspections. For buyers who have been following VITA’s progress over the past two years of construction, this milestone means:
Final walkthroughs are beginning
Closings start next week
Buyers can now begin planning move-ins
The property is officially transitioning from construction site to fully operational luxury building
Given Miami’s competitive pre-construction landscape—where many projects take 3–4+ years to deliver—VITA’s completion represents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking move-in-ready waterfront luxury in Coconut Grove.
A True Waterfront Lifestyle on a Private Island
Located on the 20-acre private enclave of Grove Isle, VITA is the fourth and final residential building on the island. Unlike most Coconut Grove developments—which sit across the street from parks or marinas—every residence at VITA is directly on the water.
Other highlights of VITA’s private-island setting include:
Unobstructed sunrise and sunset views thanks to the building’s sweeping half-moon curvature
Nearly one mile of waterfront walking paths around Grove Isle
Brand-new roads, landscaping, security gatehouse, and renovated tennis and pickleball facilities
The project fully restores and modernizes the island, reintroducing Grove Isle as one of Miami’s most peaceful and exclusive residential locations.
Luxury Residences with Exceptional Finishes
True to Ugo Colombo’s reputation for quality, VITA’s residences deliver an elevated standard rarely seen in today’s new developments. Highlights include:
11-foot flush ceilings throughout
Mudded-in linear AC diffusers
Frameless interior doors
Custom Molteni kitchens in light or dark finishes
Full Miele appliance packages and wine coolers
Book-matched marble primary bathrooms with dual vanities
Steam-equipped showers with electrochromic privacy glass
Private garages available for select residences with direct-entry private elevators
The smallest residences start at approx. 2,500 square feet—underscoring the project’s focus on spacious, home-like layouts.
Amenities and Members Club Offerings
VITA offers a robust yet intimate amenity program designed around island living, wellness, and privacy. Amenities include:
Two waterfront pools (one for residents, one for club members)
Members-only club room with lounge spaces, bar, and billiards
Full spa with sauna, steam rooms, massage rooms, and cold plunges
Technogym-equipped fitness center with water views
Yoga studio
Access to nine renovated tennis and pickleball courts
A new 60-seat restaurant, open to the public and operated by the owners of Daniel’s
These amenities complement the peaceful tone of the island, offering residents a resort-caliber lifestyle just minutes from city conveniences.
Remaining Availability
As of this week, only 10 residences remain, including:
One 3-bedroom residence (approx. 2,500 SF) at $6.5M
Several 4-bedroom residences (approx. 3,700–3,800 SF) priced from $8.5M to $10.3M
Two duplex penthouses (approx. 7,000 SF each) with private pools, priced at $22M
This limited supply makes VITA one of the most exclusive new luxury offerings in all of Coconut Grove.

AVA MediterrAegean Opens Its Flagship Restaurant in Coconut Grove

A New Mediterranean Destination Arrives in Miami
Riviera Dining Group (RDG), one of Florida’s most influential hospitality collectives, has officially debuted its newest concept in Miami: AVA MediterrAegean in Coconut Grove. Opening November 22nd at 2889 McFarlane Road, the restaurant marks RDG’s fifth venue and serves as the brand’s flagship, expanding on the success of its beloved Winter Park outpost. Blending elevated Greek cuisine with modern Cycladic design, AVA brings a transportive Mediterranean atmosphere to one of Miami’s most historic and vibrant neighborhoods.
RDG’s Vision: A Modern Cycladic Agora
Led by RDG Founder & CEO Gregory Galy, AVA MediterrAegean reflects the group’s signature approach to luxury dining—where cuisine, design, and nightlife merge into a single immersive experience. The Coconut Grove flagship introduces AVA MM, a discreet members-only sanctuary offering unique programming, chef-driven dinners, curated tastings, rare wines, and intimate cultural activations. It is RDG’s fourth MM Members Club location, further expanding the group’s footprint across Florida’s elite dining scene.
Refined Greek Cuisine with a Modern Edge
The menu, crafted by RDG Partner and Head of Culinary Chef Michaël Michaelidis alongside Executive Chef Frédéric Aumeunier, draws inspiration from the Cycladic islands of Greece. Expect refined interpretations of coastal classics including Aegean Tuna Ceviche, Mediterranean Seabass Carpaccio, Chilean Seabass Kakavia, Lobster Pasta, and a dramatic 32oz Tomahawk. Signature large-format dishes—such as Branzino Spetziota and Prawns Kadaifi—celebrate AVA’s ethos of communal dining, while creative mezze, salads, and tableside preparations like Lamb Moussaka bring warmth and soul to the modern Mediterranean experience.
A Sculpted Space Inspired by the Greek Islands
Designed by acclaimed architect Lazaro Rosa-Violán, AVA Coconut Grove pairs Greek island minimalism with Miami’s bold energy. Natural materials—travertine, plaster, limestone, coral stone, and handcrafted ceramics—define the sculpted dining room and open-air terrace. Custom oak millwork, alabaster lighting, myth-inspired artwork, and a striking rainforest marble bar set the tone for an evening that feels both serene and spirited. Meanwhile, the members-only AVA MM enclave introduces a more intimate, bronze-accented environment with cigar lockers, bespoke design details, and soon a custom chopstick box cabinet for founding members.
RDG’s Continued Rise in Florida’s Dining Scene
With restaurants like MILA Miami, CASA NEOS, CLAUDIE, and AVA Winter Park already shaping Florida’s luxury dining culture, RDG’s expansion into Coconut Grove underscores its growing influence. The group continues to elevate Mediterranean hospitality with concepts that are as much destinations as they are dining experiences—each one thoughtfully curated, meticulously designed, and rooted in a philosophy of discovery and indulgence.
JETSET Pilates Expands Into Luxury Communities as Wellness Becomes a Top Selling Point for Condo Buyers
Wellness: The New Benchmark in High-End Condo Development
Luxury condo development has undergone a major evolution in recent years. Traditional features like rooftop pools, private dining rooms, and concierge services are no longer enough — today’s buyers want purpose-driven wellness experiences seamlessly integrated into their daily lives. Across major U.S. markets, wellness is increasingly viewed not as an amenity, but as a core expectation tied to lifestyle, longevity, and convenience.
This shift has led developers to partner with premium fitness and wellness brands that enhance property identity and value. Among the fastest-growing names within this movement is JETSET Pilates, a modern Reformer Pilates franchise strategically aligning with luxury residential and mixed-use communities.
Luxury Alignment as a Real Estate Strategy
Rather than expanding through traditional retail leasing alone, JETSET Pilates is pursuing a niche, premium real estate strategy that places studios inside or adjacent to high-design, wellness-minded environments — including luxury condominium towers, boutique hotels, and mixed-use lifestyle destinations.
“Our goal is to place studios in spaces that naturally reflect our clients’ lifestyles,” said Michael Zennedjian, VP of Real Estate & Construction. “Each location feels distinctly local, yet unmistakably JETSET.”
This approach positions the brand not just as a fitness studio, but as a lifestyle anchor that adds measurable value to surrounding development.
Signature Miami Location: Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove
One of JETSET Pilates’ most prestigious and design-driven locations is within Mr. C Residences in Coconut Grove, a waterfront luxury condominium development known for hotel-style living, European hospitality, and curated lifestyle experiences.
The Mr. C JETSET Flagship studio spans 3,200 square feet across two levels — ground floor and mezzanine — in one of the most prime and visible locations in Coconut Grove, directly across from the marina and waterfront. Notably:
✔ It serves as a flagship studio for the brand
✔ It features two stories of high-design training space
✔ It is open to both residents and the general public
✔ It anchors a neighborhood already known for health, nature, and wellness culture
This placement exemplifies how modern fitness brands and luxury residential developers are working together to enhance both property value and lifestyle experience.
Expansion Presence Across Luxury-Oriented Markets
Beyond Miami, JETSET Pilates is already operating in or developing studios within high-growth, experience-focused communities including:
Midtown Nashville, TN — The Moore Building
North Hills, Raleigh, NC — Park Central
Union Market, Washington, DC — Margarite
Flagler Village, Fort Lauderdale, FL — EON Squared
SoHo, New York, NY — Premier retail and lifestyle corridor
These markets reflect the brand’s commitment to design-forward, walkable, lifestyle-centric environments, rather than traditional suburban fitness retail.
Looking Ahead: Growth in Wellness-Driven Luxury Environments
Since launching its franchise offering in 2022, JETSET Pilates has quickly become one of the fastest-growing boutique fitness concepts in the U.S., with more than 200 studios currently in development — including future expansion into Australia.
As developers continue to elevate their amenities packages, wellness-focused brand partnerships like JETSET are becoming key differentiators that influence buyer and renter decision-making. With a strategy centered on upscale residential and lifestyle-driven developments, JETSET Pilates is poised to continue anchoring future luxury communities where wellness isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove Breaks Ground in Miami
Developers Ugo Colombo’s CMC Group and Nadim Ashi’s Fort Partners have recently broken ground on Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove, marking a major milestone for Miami’s luxury condo landscape. The project represents Florida’s first-ever standalone Four Seasons-branded residential tower, offering a purely residential experience without an attached hotel — a rarity in the global Four Seasons portfolio.
Located on a prime 1.16-acre waterfront parcel at 2699 S. Bayshore Drive, the 20-story development is already over 50% pre-sold, with prices starting just under $6 million. Early buyers include a significant number of local residents downsizing from single-family homes or upgrading from other condominiums in search of elevated Four Seasons service.
A Landmark Moment for Coconut Grove
With the groundbreaking taking place in early November, Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove is set to become one of the most prestigious addresses in Miami. Coconut Grove’s lush waterfront setting, walkable village center, and refined lifestyle continue to attract buyers from across South Florida and beyond.
For the Four Seasons brand, this project signals growing demand for hotel-level services delivered in a private residential-only environment — a model that appeals to affluent buyers seeking exclusivity, security, and high-touch service without the constant activity of a hospitality component.
Design, Development & Team
The project brings together two of the most respected teams in luxury real estate:
Developer: CMC Group (Ugo Colombo)
Co-Developer: Fort Partners (Nadim Ashi)
Architecture: Revuelta Architecture International
Interiors: Michele Bönan of Florence
Landscape: Lush, Grove-inspired tropical design
Together, they are creating a sculptural, curved tower designed to maximize Biscayne Bay views while blending naturally into Coconut Grove’s signature canopy of banyan and gumbo limbo trees.
Residences & Private Home Features
Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove will feature:
70 ultra-luxury residences across 20 stories
Private elevator foyers for every home
11-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass
Custom-designed Molteni kitchens
Premium Sub-Zero and Wolf appliance packages
Italian marble baths
Deep terraces framing unobstructed bayfront views
A limited collection of penthouse and upper-level residences will offer expansive layouts approaching 10,000 square feet.
World-Class Amenities & Four Seasons Services
As the first standalone Four Seasons residential tower in Florida, the property will deliver an elevated lifestyle built around privacy, personalization, and wellness. Planned amenities include:
Resort-style bayfront pool deck and cabanas
Resident-only restaurant and lounge
Wellness spa with sauna, cold plunge, and therapy offerings
State-of-the-art fitness center with private training spaces
Library, children’s room, and multipurpose event areas
Full suite of Four Seasons services, including valet, concierge, housekeeping options, and personalized in-residence services
The building will be staffed and operated to Four Seasons’ global hospitality standards, bringing five-star luxury to everyday living.
Unbeatable Coconut Grove Location
Positioned along 2699 S Bayshore Drive in Coconut Grove, the luxury tower sits directly across from Biscayne Bay and the waterfront parks. Residents will enjoy immediate access to:
CocoWalk and the Grove’s dining and retail
Marinas, yacht clubs, and bayfront green spaces
Top-tier private schools including Ransom Everglades
Coral Gables, Brickell, downtown Miami, and MIA
It’s an exceptional location offering walkability, serenity, and prestige — all within one of Miami’s most historic neighborhoods.
A Strong Year for CMC Group in the Grove
This recent groundbreaking comes as CMC Group approaches the delivery of Vita at Grove Isle, another highly anticipated luxury project expected to welcome residents by year’s end. Combined, these developments reinforce Coconut Grove’s position as one of Miami’s most sought-after enclaves for high-end waterfront living.
Miami Slice Expands to Coconut Grove, Taking Over Former Harry’s Pizza Space
Miami’s acclaimed pizza hotspot Miami Slice is expanding to Coconut Grove, taking over the former Harry’s Pizza space at 2996 McFarlane Road. Known for its cult following and long lines at its original downtown location, Miami Slice has become synonymous with high-quality, New York-style slices crafted with precision and passion. The new Coconut Grove location marks a significant milestone for the brand as it continues to grow beyond its flagship in Downtown Miami.
The move into Coconut Grove represents a major win for the neighborhood’s ever-evolving dining scene. Once a quiet pocket of casual eateries, the Grove has transformed into one of Miami’s most dynamic culinary destinations, blending local charm with upscale, chef-driven concepts. Miami Slice’s arrival will fill a notable void left by Harry’s Pizza while introducing its signature approach—tight menus, elevated ingredients, and a modern aesthetic—to a community that values both quality and neighborhood spirit.
Unlike many pizzerias that aim to offer everything to everyone, Miami Slice has always thrived on simplicity and craftsmanship. Its dough undergoes an extended fermentation process before being double-baked to achieve a light, crisp texture with just the right amount of chew. The menu is expected to remain focused and intentional, featuring fan favorites such as the Margherita de la Casa, Pepperoni Proper, Leeks on Bacon, and Mushroom Truffle, alongside its famous house-made dips and sauces. The minimalistic menu has always been part of the brand’s charm—five core slices, one dessert, and a short but well-curated list of drinks—ensuring that every item is perfected.
The new space at McFarlane Road is considerably larger than Miami Slice’s compact downtown counter, which means fans can likely expect more seating, shorter wait times, and possibly even a few new surprises. Renovations are already underway to convert the former restaurant into a space that captures Miami Slice’s signature urban vibe—modern, high-energy, and unapologetically cool. While an official opening date has not yet been announced, the Coconut Grove outpost is projected to debut in 2026.
This expansion underscores Miami Slice’s growing influence and its ability to bridge Miami’s diverse culinary neighborhoods. Coconut Grove offers the perfect balance of foot traffic, local clientele, and a vibrant social scene—making it an ideal next chapter for the brand. For Grove residents and pizza enthusiasts alike, the arrival of Miami Slice promises not just another great place to eat, but a destination that continues to redefine what pizza can be in Miami’s ever-rising food culture.
AVA MediterrAegean Restaurant Sets Sail for Coconut Grove: A Luxe Mediterranean Dining Debut This November
Get ready, Miami food lovers: this November, AVA MediterrAegean will open its doors at 2889 McFarlane Road, Coconut Grove — the location formerly occupied by Peacock Garden Café. Nestled in the heart of the Grove, this expansion marks Riviera Dining Group’s bold move to bring its signature Mediterranean-Aegean hospitality into one of Miami’s most storied neighborhoods.
Riviera Dining Group: The Ambitious Hospitality Brand Behind the Concept
Before diving into AVA’s arrival, it’s worth spotlighting the team behind it. Riviera Dining Group (RDG) is a luxury hospitality collective that operates a portfolio of elevated restaurant, lounge, and members-club concepts across South Florida. Their current brands include:
MILA – a multi-venue rooftop restaurant, lounge, mixology bar, and omakase concept in Miami Beach
Casa Neos – a waterfront/Miami River Mediterranean venue with beach-club and dock-&-dine offerings
Claudie – a recent French/Mediterranean sister concept launched in Brickell in February 2025
AVA MediterrAegean – their Aegean-driven brand, currently with one location in Winter Park, Florida, and soon in Coconut Grove.
MM – the members-club platform that often integrates with their restaurant venues
RDG’s business model is as much about lifestyle and experiential hospitality as fine dining — blending design, service, culinary craft, and exclusivity. Their expansion is backed by outside capital: in December 2021, Mohari Hospitality (founded by Mark Scheinberg) took a significant minority stake in RDG to support concept development and growth. This partnership helps explain the financial muscle behind AVA’s ambitious rollout and the property acquisition in Coconut Grove.
RDG is often lauded for “record-breaking success” with MILA. Their success with that flagship has given them a strong platform from which to expand into other neighborhoods and concepts.
MILA’s Performance: Is It Truly One of the U.S. Top-Grossing Restaurants?
Is MILA among the highest-grossing restaurants in the United States? The short answer is yes — within its niche.
In Restaurant Business’s “Top 100 Independents” rankings for 2024, MILA placed #2, with reported sales of about $49,088,032. That positions MILA as one of the top-grossing independent (i.e. non-chain) restaurants in the U.S.
To give additional context:
In 2023, MILA reported roughly $31.2 million in annual sales, per Restaurant Business.
Its rising trajectory and positioning in a competitive, high-stakes Miami market have drawn industry attention.
News and hospitality trade coverage frequently refer to MILA as “high-earning” or “record-breaking” when discussing RDG’s expansion.
So while MILA might not be the single absolute highest-grossing restaurant in the U.S. (many comparisons are tricky depending on chains vs independents), it indisputably ranks among the top in its class — a feat that adds credibility and buzz to AVA’s impending launch.
The 2889 McFarlane Road Site: From Peacock Garden to AVA’s Next Chapter
The address chosen for AVA — 2889 McFarlane Road — has a rich local history and strategic appeal:
The property is a 6,369-square-foot ground-floor commercial condo within the Mutiny on the Park / Hotel Arya condominium development.
In 2022, the site (then housing Peacock Garden Café) was sold by developer Ricardo Dunin and restaurateur Lalo Durazo for $9.5 million (about $1,500 per square foot) to Mohari Coconut Grove, connected to Mohari Hospitality.
Following that acquisition, Riviera Dining Group (via its partnership with Mohari) was slated to operate a future restaurant concept in the space.
Riviera Dining Group announces that AVA MediterrAegean will open this November at 2889 McFarlane Road — the spot formerly occupied by Peacock Garden.
The Peacock Garden Café itself was a well-known Grove institution (alfresco garden dining, drinks, event space) and longtime community favorite before its closure.
This means that AVA isn’t just opening a restaurant — it’s reviving a high-profile, beloved location with a deep residential and culinary pedigree. The transition from garden-style café to immersive Mediterranean destination will be watched closely by locals and foodies alike.
What AVA MediterrAegean Will Bring to Coconut Grove
When AVA opens, it will likely offer:
A Mediterranean / Aegean culinary program — building on the brand’s design and ethos of blending Greek traditions with contemporary flair (as hinted in their “coming soon” announcement)
An immersive ambiance — Riviera’s prior venues emphasize design, ambiance, and multi-sensory experience
A membership or private space component (MM Club) — reports suggest AVA will include its own members’ club space akin to those in other RDG venues
A new dimension for the Grove’s dining scene, attracting both locals and destination diners
Coconut Grove’s Dining Scene Levels Up
With AVA MediterrAegean’s arrival, Coconut Grove is set to welcome another high-profile restaurant to its flourishing culinary roster. The neighborhood has already attracted major names like Carbone Vino, Major Food Group’s Italian concept, along with local standouts such as Ossobuco Coconut Grove, Level 6, and Amal Miami. Together, these destinations highlight Coconut Grove’s evolution into a serious culinary hotspot. AVA’s debut will not only introduce an Aegean-inspired dining experience but also reinforce the Grove’s reputation as one of Miami’s most dynamic dining neighborhoods, drawing both locals and visitors in search of world-class cuisine.
Opus Coconut Grove Secures $28.8M Construction Loan, Paving the Way for Vertical Development
META Development has reached a major milestone for Opus Coconut Grove, announcing the successful closing of a $28.8 million construction loan from Los Angeles–based Arixa Capital. The funding marks a pivotal step forward in bringing this limited-edition boutique development to life in the heart of Miami’s Coconut Grove.
Financing Milestone with Arixa Capital
The construction loan signals strong confidence in both the project and Miami’s luxury condo market. With traditional lenders tightening standards, developers have increasingly turned to private lenders like Arixa Capital. This financing ensures Opus Coconut Grove has the resources needed to move confidently into the next phase of development, advancing from pre-construction to demolition and vertical building.
According to META Development CEO Andrew Rasken, securing financing validates the firm’s “Go Boutique” philosophy, which emphasizes smaller-scale, design-forward residential projects that cater to discerning buyers seeking exclusivity and craftsmanship.
A Boutique Vision for Coconut Grove
Opus Coconut Grove is designed as a limited-edition collection of residences, blending architectural precision with contemporary elegance. The development reflects Coconut Grove’s character—lush, green, and residential—while elevating the experience with curated design and modern amenities.
Rasken noted that the financing is not only a milestone but also a response to the growing demand for boutique, design-driven residences in Miami, a market that continues to attract both local and international buyers.
What’s Next for Opus Coconut Grove
With financing now fully secured, construction will progress to demolition, site work, and eventually vertical construction. Once completed, Opus Coconut Grove will stand out as a distinctive residential experience in one of Miami’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
Located just minutes from Biscayne Bay and the cultural and dining offerings of Coconut Grove, the development offers future residents both convenience and a lifestyle defined by privacy, luxury, and architectural distinction.
Grove Gallery Now Open Along The Underline’s Newest Segment in Coconut Grove
The Underline has reached a major milestone with the opening of its newest segment in Coconut Grove, extending the urban trail system from SW 19th Avenue to SW 27th Avenue. This addition not only expands The Underline’s total length to 3.5 miles but also debuts a vibrant new community anchor: Grove Gallery.
What Is Grove Gallery?
Grove Gallery is a 150,000-square-foot linear activation space designed as a dynamic and inclusive gathering spot for the community. Conceived as a “canvas for the community,” the gallery space introduces a mix of cultural, recreational, and wellness-focused features that reflect Coconut Grove’s creative and eclectic spirit.
Key Features of Grove Gallery
Market Space for Food & Beverage Vendors
Rotating pop-up vendors will provide local flavors and culinary diversity, giving residents and visitors a new destination for food and drink experiences.
Bocce Ball Courts
Dedicated courts for this classic game create opportunities for casual fun and intergenerational play.
Art Plinth for Rotating Installations
The space will host rotating public art exhibits, making it a living gallery that celebrates local and regional talent.
Interactive Community Bookshelf
Visitors can browse, borrow, or donate books, creating a shared, literary connection point.
Column Murals
The iconic Metrorail columns have been transformed into large-scale murals, showcasing bold, expressive artwork that adds color and character to the corridor.
More Than a Park: A Cultural Connector for Coconut Grove
In the coming months, Grove Gallery will serve as a backdrop for a wide array of cultural events, wellness programs, and community gatherings. From outdoor yoga sessions and live performances to local art showcases and farmers markets, the space is designed to evolve alongside the neighborhood it serves.
Why It Matters for Coconut Grove
The opening of Grove Gallery represents a major step in redefining Coconut Grove’s public space and pedestrian connectivity. As part of The Underline’s broader mission to transform the land beneath Miami’s Metrorail into a world-class linear park, Grove Gallery adds depth, identity, and function to the corridor—connecting people not just geographically, but culturally.
With this new segment, The Underline continues its vision of linking Miami—mile by mile—while enhancing livability, accessibility, and sustainability across neighborhoods.

The rooftop oasis offers a serene retreat with a pool deck finished in Italian silver travertine, private cabanas, and outdoor kitchens. A yoga pavilion, known as “Columpio” (Spanish for swing), adds a playful element, while colorful swing sets bring a whimsical touch. Additional amenities include:
A wellness center with saunas, steam rooms, and hot and cold plunge pools.
An owners’ lounge for social gatherings.
A covered dog park with grooming facilities.
The Lincoln’s prime location allows residents to explore Coconut Grove’s finest offerings with ease.
