VITA Coconut Grove | How Does it Compare to Other Coconut Grove Condo for Sale?

In February 2022, we introduced a brand new Coconut Grove pre-construction condo named Vita. With only 65 residences and located on the gated island community of Grove Isle, this project is what everyone is talking about. The David Siddons Group visited the project and compared this with other luxury condos in the Grove.

The Views

 

  • Grove at Grand Bay. Grove at Grand Bay, specially the South tower offers some mesmerizing bay and marina views. Although most of the units offer water views not all of them do. The north tower is more set back than the south tower, therefore some of the units in the north tower look into the south tower or the Watsco Inc building. These towers are located on S Bayshore Dr and not directly on the water, which of course affects the bay views. Not important to everyone, but worth mentioning.
  • Residences at Vizcaya: The Residences of Vizcaya are located directly on the water and offer beautiful water views. As the condo is only 7 stories high, it oftentimes feels more like being on a boat when it comes to the views. Views are unobstructed, although from some angles you might catch a part of Grove Isle. All residences except for the 05 line provide for bay views.
  • The Fairchild: Located right on the water, but in an elongated shape some of the residences here offer water views. The 01 and the 02 line are the floor plans you need to look out for in case you want water views.
  • Mr C Tigertail Residences:  The Mr C Tigertail Residences are currently under pre-construction and do not offer water views. Some of the units might provide for partial water views, but they are not selling the project for its views. This is a condo you buy for its service and prestige and less for its views. The Mr C Residences (Bayshore Tower) do offer several units with water views of which the 01 and 02 Line are the best.
  • Park Grove Tower 2: Tower Two at Park Grove is located on S Bayshore Dr. and offers amazing bay views. All of the units have water views, but lines A and D do look (partially) into other buildings as well. The D line sees part of the Ritz Carlton and the A line partially looked into Tower A of Park Grove. Apparently not too big of an issue as people do choose Park Grove for its superb views.
  • One Park Grove. One Park Grove is located on S Bayshore Dr. and offers amazing and unobstructed bay views. As mentioned before the condo is on S Bayshore Dr and not directly on the water. The best water views are to be experienced from the rarely available A-Line, which covers the southeast corner of the building.
  • Vita: Vita is divided into three parts: Sole, Luce y Mare. All of them are located directly on the water and offer water views. Sole will look over the water with the Grove’s skyline in the back, Luce will have ample water views with the Brickell skyline on the horizon and Mare will have ample and unobstructed ocean views.

The Floor Plans at Vita Coconut Grove

  • Grove at Grand Bay. Grove at Grand Bay offers large floor plans, most of them with 3 or 4 bedrooms. The o1 and 03 lines in the North Tower are large corner residences (on higher floors the 03 corner residence becomes an 02 line). The South Tower offers the 01 and 02 lines, which are great corner residences. The corner floor plans offer wraparound terraces and a great flow. The master bedrooms and living rooms are always in the front (east facing with water views) and the remaining bedrooms are located in the back. Residences enjoy private elevator access and many come with a separate laundry room. Some buyers mention the  presence of concrete columns in the residences as a disadvantage of the project. In one of the pictures featured in this article (picture of unit 1001) you will be able to see an example of such column.
  • Residences at Vizcaya: The residences of Vizcaya offer very large floor plans that are accessible by private elevator. The smallest unit starts at just under 4,000 SF and the largest non-PH unit offers just under 4,500 SF. They all come with 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms. The best lines are the 02,03 or 04 lines as they offer bay views. The 04 line is a townhome unit covering two floors. Floor plans offer separate living and family rooms with the master bedroom also offering bay views. The townhome or duplex units also offer two additional bedrooms with bay views. In selected residences the terraces come with heated swimming pools.
  • The Fairchild: The Fairchild offers 7 floor plans of which the Beasley (01 line) and the Barnacle (02 line) are by far the best lines. Both are the larger, corner residences that provide for 4 bedrooms and bay views. Both offer 3,100 SF+ of living space and private elevator access. These residences offer an ample living and dining room with open kitchen and all the bedrooms are located towards the back of the elongated condo that can be reached via a long hallway. The units come with large wrap-around terraces.  Unique are the service quarters.
  • Mr C Tigertail Residences:  Mr C Tigertail offers several smaller floor plans and is often seen as a pied-à-terre or investment property rather than a primary residence (although people did buy into this project as a primary residence). The larger 01 and 02 lines however are our preferred units. The 01 line is a NE facing 3 bedroom with 1,811 SF and the 02 line is a SE facing 3 bedroom with 1,761 SF. Both residences offer a wraparound terrace accessible from all the bedrooms.
  • Park Grove Tower 2: Tower Two at Park Grove offers 4 floor plans. The A and the D line are the largest. All the residences offer bay views with the living and master bedroom facing the east while the remaining bedrooms can be reached via a long hallway. The B line offers a den, while the C line is either a 2 bedroom plus den or a full 3 bedroom. All of the residences can be reached via private elevator and come with deep terraces.
  • One Park Grove. Park Grove Residences offer some amazing floor plans of which the A residence is our favorite. This SE facing corner unit comes with a large living room and open kitchen overlooking the bay as well as a master bedroom that overlooks the bay. Behind the kitchen is a small den or family room and all the additional bedrooms are located in the back. Units at Park Grove offer private elevator access and very deep terraces.
  • Vita: Floor plans are carefully considered, all with water views from the main living areas and master bedroom/bathroom. The additional 2 or 3 bedrooms are located on the backside of the condo. All bedrooms are en-suite in this project. The units, which are all flow-through, are accessible by a private elevator and come with two large terraces, one facing the bay and one facing the street. The floor plans offer plenty of space starting at 2,500 SF for a 3 bedroom. Some of the units will offer a den, and we can see that these units generally offer a more expansive, less narrow living room.

An A Line Unit at Park Grove Tower One

Exclusivity and Privacy

  • Grove at Grand Bay. Grove at Grand Bay offers two towers with a combined number of 96 residences (59 in the north tower and 37 in the south tower). All residences offer private elevator access and the amenities such as gym and pool are expansive. Definitely a project that scores high on privacy as well as on exclusivity.
  • Residences at Vizcaya: The residences at Vizcaya offer just 18 units with maximum 4 units per floor. All units are accessible by a private elevator. A very boutique condo. Amenities such as the pool deck are smaller than many other projects in this list.
  • The Fairchild: The Fairchild offers 7 units per floor with private elevator access. The Fairchild only offers 26 residences making it a boutique condo.
  • Mr C Tigertail Residences: The new condo tower will offer 21 floors and 138 luxury residences. There won’t be private elevator access and there are about 7 to 9 units per floor. As mentioned before this tower is being sold more like a pied-à-terre or investment than as a first residence. This tower focuses on the exclusive Cipriani white glove services and less on privacy.
  • Park Grove Tower 1 and 2: Both towers offer 72 units with 4 units per floor. These units are all accessible by private elevators. The three towers (there is a third tower with 132, smaller 1-3 bedroom units) sit on 5.2 acre of private land with many amenities. An exclusive and private project that is very desired with buyers and specially in the first tower you barely ever see a unit come to market.
  • Vita: Vita is located on a private island with gated entrance. All units are accessible by private elevators and there are only 65 units. Vita is very much a boutique condo with plenty of amenities and a private residents club. Scoring high on exclusivity and privacy.
