Ugo Colombo of the CMC Group, one of Miami’s most well-known luxury developers, has started construction on Vita Residences at Grove Isle. The opulent boutique condominium is situated on the gated 20-acre private island of Grove Isle, which is close to the city’s fashionable Coconut Grove neighborhood.
The 65 exquisitely designed houses in the seven-story building, which is being constructed on the island’s final remaining beachfront parcel, will showcase unhindered panoramic bay views, exquisite detailing, and the finest materials and craftsmanship. The project is now under construction, and completion is anticipated in 24 to 28 months.
The majority of Vita at Grove Isle’s customers are from America, and more than 40% of the units there have already been pre-sold. The homes will range in size from 2,500 to 6,500 square feet and feature three-, four-, and four-bedroom units with dens. A group of twelve upscale penthouse houses will have private rooftop terraces with full-size swimming pools, full bathrooms, and summer kitchens that are each 3,400 to 6,600 square feet in size. Penthouses start at $12 million, with units starting at $5.5 million.
In order to create one-of-a-kind interior and amenity spaces for Vita at Grove Isle, Ugo Colombo collaborated with international architecture and design firm CallisonRTKL, regional architectural firm S & E Architects, and Italian designers Carlo and Paolo Colombo of A++ Architecture. The three buildings—Mare, Luce, and Sole—are designed to exhibit a singular architectural design and will provide a boutique living environment surrounded by beautiful, local vegetation. The graceful, curving shape of the structure, which was inspired by the island’s natural contours and maximizes views of the glittering Biscayne Bay, is a reflection of its distinctive Grove Isle position.
The waterfront retreat will offer a wide range of carefully chosen interior and outdoor amenities, including a private bayfront pool for residents exclusively, a poolside bar and lounge, a cutting-edge fitness facility, spa, and kids’ play area. Residents of Vita will also be given a house membership to the “Vita at Grove Isle Club,” which has lighted tennis, padel, and pickleball courts in addition to a club pool and a bar nearby. Additionally, residents will have access to the island’s private marina as well as a gourmet restaurant and bar offering lunch, supper, and cocktails that will be open to the general public.
Only the attention to detail in its design matches the level of preparation put into Vita at Grove Isle’s location and facilities. Each home will have a private elevator, a private foyer, modern open concept kitchens with hidden top-of-the-line appliances, elegant bathrooms with hand-selected book matched marble, masterfully crafted Italian stonework, custom Italian cabinetry, and pre-installed smart home technology like lighting, climate control, and water/air filtration systems, as well as at least 10-foot-high ceilings.
In addition to 24/7 valet service, private, individually covered garages with EV charging stations, accessible bike storage, and the most cutting-edge technology and WiFi capabilities installed throughout the building, residents also enjoy additional amenities.
Residents will also profit from Vita at Grove Isle’s personal concierge service, which will be available to help with a variety of arrangements and services, including home provisioning, housekeeping, child and pet care, personal shopping, private events, private drivers and transportation, car detailing, mail collection and forwarding, package deliveries, and more. This service is in addition to Vita at Grove Isle’s restaurant.
Additionally, Vita at Grove Isle residents will have access to the ‘Vita Linc’ app, a digital concierge service, which will enable them to register visitors and give them electronic keys, get in touch with the building’s management, send each other private messages, check on pending and delivered packages, access appliance manuals and condo documents, and request vehicles from valet.

Photo Tour of Ugo Colombo’s 64-story Brickell Flatiron Condo Tower
CMC Group, headed by luxury developer Ugo Colombo, has officially delivered its 64-story Brickell Flatiron condominium tower and, just like that, Miami’s most recent condo cycle has come to a close. The first closing at Brickell Flatiron took place on November 1, 2019, and since then, over 400 deeds have been recorded. According to a December press release, CMC Group paid off its $236 million construction loan for Brickell Flatiron within 30 days of receiving its temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO).
The 736-foot-tall skyscraper (currently Miami’s fourth-tallest building) was designed by internationally-acclaimed, Miami-based architect Luis Revuelta. With its flatiron shape and curved, flowing glass-balconies, Revuelta’s design has added yet another iconic skyscraper to Brickell’s ever-growing skyline. Located at 1000 Brickell Plaza, Brickell Flatiron will add 527 condo residences to Miami’s housing stock once all units have sold and closed.
Last week, I was given a private tour of Brickell Flatiron and can tell you firsthand that Colombo’s long-awaited tower was well worth the wait. The common areas at Brickell Flatiron were designed by Italian design architect Massimo Iosa Ghini with commissioned artwork by legendary artist Julian Schnabel. The 64th-floor amenities at Brickell Flatiron include a rooftop pool deck with pool, hot tub, and cabanas; a 6,300-square-foot state-of-the-art fitness center; and a full-service spa with His and Hers steam room, sauna, and locker facilities. On the 17th and 18th floors, additional amenities can be found, such as a children’s playroom, movie theater, lap pool, event space, cigar room, and billiards & wine room. Brickell Flatiron also offers 24-hour valet parking service; a 24-hour, full-service concierge; and charging stations for electric vehicles.
With Brickell Flatiron, Colombo, who is well-reputed for delivering uncompromised details and finishes, has cemented himself as Miami’s preeminent developer.
Despite reports that Brickell Flatiron had lost one of its tower cranes during Hurricane Irma, the project did not suffer damage and remains on track for completion in the summer of 2019. As of this week, they have reached the 16th floor of vertical construction and continue to build at a rate of one floor per week.
The development broke ground in March of 2016. After ten months of site work, the foundation was poured in January 2017 during a ceremonious 24-hour process. Sales have remained steady as well, with 70% of the units already under contract.
Tower Residences are currently available from $480,000 to $1.62 million. The Penthouse Collection offers residences from $980,000 to $1.78 million, and in July the opulent Upper Penthouse Collection was unveiled with prices ranging from $6 million to $15.5 million.
Currently on the 10th, going on 11th floor of vertical construction with over $300 million in signed contracts, Brickell Flatiron has unveiled their dramatic penthouse collection designed by famed Italian architect Massimo Iosa Ghini. The penthouse apartments are located on floors 50-64 of the 700 foot tower and include a wide variety of layouts.
Expansive single story residences are priced between $1 million – $2.5 million. Upper penthouse duplex and triplex residences are priced from $6 million to $15.5 million. The upper penthouses will include rooftop pools and summer kitchens in addition to the upgraded finishes in all of the penthouse units.
The upgraded kitchens have Snaidero motorized cabinetry with customizable cabinet colors, Miele under-counter wine coolers and integrated appliances. The laundry rooms are outfitted with Bosch washers and dryers that have anti-vibration and noise-suppression technology. Every penthouse unit is fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology systems, including a private wireless network and a secure smart-lock system.
