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.
