The Fairchild Coconut Grove is a Lovely Little Tropical Modernist Building Very, Very Close to a Good Hospital

August 24, 2016

Are you a lover of tropical modernist architecture and indoor-outdoor living, but your health might be on the brink? Looking for a lovely little place to enjoy life in ease after your third heart attack?  The Fairchild Coconut Grove is being built on a bay front site in North Grove literally next to Mercy Hospital, at 3581 E. Glencoe Street.

Being developed by Grove Bay Properties, the building is designed by architect Max Strang, with 26 units ranging from 1700 square feet two-bedroomers, to 4200 square feet four bedroomers. Amenities include private boat slips, a full time butler, a rooftop pool deck and gardens, bicycles provided to residents, gym, with steam, sauna, and hammam. Units have 11-foot high ceilings except for the penthouses, which are 13-feet, while ‘select’ units have private outdoor showers and servants quarters. Sales have not officially begun yet, although they’re probably quietly selling to early buyers anyways, as one does. Units begin at $1.4 million.
