Inside the Four Seasons Residences Coconut Grove | An Independent Review (Our 59th in Miami)

Miami’s condo market has a new standout:the Four Seasons Residences Coconut Grove. With decades of experience selling in the Grove, Chris Suarez and I take an independent, no-fluff look at this project. We break down what makes it unique, how it compares to resale and other new construction options, and why buyers are eagerly waiting.  This isn’t just another condo review—it’s our 59th independent review with actionable insight from people who know the Grove inside and out, highlighting location, lifestyle, and long-term value in one of Miami’s most exclusive neighborhoods.

Four Seasons Coconut Grove: True Private Residences

The Four Seasons Coconut Grove isn’t just another branded condo—it’s a rare example of genuine Four Seasons private residences. Unlike typical licensing agreements that only offer the brand name, this project is fully managed to Four Seasons’ exacting standards, without a hotel component. With just 70 residences, owners enjoy daily access to world-class services while avoiding the transient traffic that comes with hotel operations. The brand’s hands-on approach ensures strict quality control, from staff training to building management. A 30-year licensing agreement guarantees long-term consistency. For buyers familiar with Four Seasons, the reputation alone signals exceptional service, luxury, and exclusivity, making this one of the most anticipated projects in Coconut Grove.

Hotel Perks vs. Private Luxury

Miami’s top-performing Four Seasons condos, like those in Brickell and Surfside’s Surf Club, leverage hotel components to deliver vibrant amenities, external revenue streams, and strong brand recognition. By contrast, the Four Seasons Coconut Grove offers private, resident-focused luxury without a hotel, giving owners full access to the legendary Four Seasons service in an intimate, low-traffic environment. This approach maximizes privacy and exclusivity, though it forgoes the financial benefits and additional services that a hotel component can provide. For buyers seeking a quieter, fully personalized experience, this trade-off reinforces the Grove’s unique appeal.

What Sets the Four Seasons Apart?

1 Location, Views, and Exclusive Living
Set on prime water frontage in Coconut Grove, this building’s design prioritizes both views and privacy. With only 70 residences, the low-density layout ensures minimal neighbors and maximum exclusivity. The southeast “trophy line” corner units offer the most coveted light and views, while every unit is thoughtfully oriented to maximize water exposure. Combined with the brand and Surf Club access, this property represents a rare opportunity to secure a high-end residence where location, lifestyle, and prestige converge.

2. The Four Seasons Edge
The Four Seasons brand adds tangible value that goes far beyond luxury finishes. By linking this property to the invitation-only Four Seasons Surf Club, residents gain access to private beaches, multiple pools, and fine dining, without paying the  membership fee. This connection provides a seamless lifestyle, letting residents enjoy resort-caliber experiences while living in a low-density, private building. From premium corner units to curated services, the brand delivers prestige, convenience, and exclusivity that few other developments can match.

3 Every Inch, Pure Four Seasons Luxury
Though the site isn’t enormous, every inch of this Four Seasons property is designed to maximize comfort, style, and lifestyle. Residents enjoy a signature ground-floor restaurant, a sixth-floor pool deck with cabanas and a bar, a fully serviced lounge, an owner’s party room, a children’s playroom, a state-of-the-art gym, and a world-class spa. Each amenity is carefully curated to deliver the legendary Four Seasons experience in a private, intimate setting.

Trophy Floor Plans: Why the “01” Line Stands Out

The Four Seasons Coconut Grove’s “01” line is the trophy floor plan for a reason. Expansive peripheral views capture the bay, South Bayshore Drive, and beyond. Interiors flow seamlessly with minimal corridors and generous room sizes. These include an 18×14 master, secondary bedrooms, and a junior suite that can double as a fifth bedroom. The master suite elevates privacy and convenience with dual bathrooms and two massive walk-in closets. This allows one resident to get ready without disturbing another. Flexible dens and media rooms can be reconfigured for Jack-and-Jill layouts or additional living space. This flexibility makes the units ideal for modern family life. Terraces are also exceptional: corner units wrap around the back, and center units extend from waterside to rear, giving every unit outdoor space on both sides and starting at 1,100 ft²—far larger than comparable Park Grove terraces.

Luxury in Every Line: Intelligent Design Beyond the Trophy Units

Beyond the trophy “01” line, each Four Seasons floor plan prioritizes light, sightlines, and livability. Units are designed for flexibility and balance: the 02 line offers roughly 4,000 ft². Compared to the more angular 01 line, the 02 layout feels more traditional and livable, boxier, with cleaner walls and a sense of space and balance that many buyers find appealing. Its southern exposure provides wide, open bay views. It also captures glimpses of the Brickell skyline to the left and the single-family neighborhoods of Gables Estates and Cocoplum to the south. While the 03 and 04 lines provide about 3,000 ft² with three bedrooms, dens, and media rooms. Every plan maximizes bay and city views, natural light, and outdoor access, while accommodating different budgets and lifestyle needs. From functional flow to thoughtful terrace placement, the design ensures that each unit, not just the trophy line, delivers high-end finishes, expansive vistas, and flexible spaces tailored for both daily living and entertaining.

• 01 Line (Trophy Residences facing North, East and West): ~3,974 ft² | $13M–$17M | ≈ $3,300 – $4,300 per ft²
• 02 Line (Balanced and Spacious facing South, East and North ): ~3,724 ft² | $12M–$16M | ≈ $3,200 – $4,300  per ft²
• 03 & 04 Lines (Flow-Through Residences East and West): ~3,000 ft² | $8.4M–$11M | ≈ $2,700–$3,800 per ft²

Luxury in the Details | Designed to Impress, Built to Endure

Every unit is equipped with finishes that go beyond standard luxury. Floors are natural travertine, and doors are carefully selected for both style and scale. The ceilings are 10’6”, fully flushed without drops, creating an open, airy feel comparable to taller heights. The penthouses present a ceiling hight of 11’6. Units include standard Lutron smart systems, an upgrade most developers reserve for optional packages. The team works closely with interior designers, providing credits or installation support to ensure homes are move-in ready on day one. Every detail, from master suite layouts and secondary bathrooms to properly designed laundry areas, prioritizes function, elegance, and convenience, making these residences exceptional from floor to finish.

The kitchens and bathrooms at Four Seasons set a new standard in luxury living. Kitchens, designed by Molteni, feature elegant natural stone countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and top-of-the-line Miele appliances, with options for light or dark finishes to suit your style. Thoughtful details like induction cooktops, seamless integrated AC vents, and well-planned layouts make them both beautiful and functional. Bathrooms continue this level of refinement, with full-height marble, custom millwork, and high-end fixtures that elevate the space, delivering a finish that’s halfway between what a top interior designer would create and what most developers offer. Every element is designed to feel premium, timeless, and effortless.

Optionality and Availability

Half of the building is already sold, a strong milestone that reflects buyer confidence and supports the developer’s construction plans. Despite this, there’s still ample inventory across every line and unit type, giving buyers a wide range of options to choose from. With construction underway and closings expected to begin in early 2028, buyers have the flexibility to select from premium units while the project is actively moving forward.

How do the Prices Compare?

What sets the Four Seasons Coconut Grove apart isn’t just the product; it’s the location and the lifestyle. The Grove offers a highly walkable, village-like environment that appeals to empty nesters, primary residents, and international buyers seeking a vibrant yet private community. The “red line” of pricing reflects a premium but attainable entry into this exclusive market, striking a balance between luxury finishes, size, and long-term value.

The Four Seasons Residences carry a premium that competes directly with the top-tier Miami market, including many beachfront towers. Coconut Grove units are priced notably above Park Grove (averaging around $3,300 per ft²) and Grove at Grand Bay (around $1,800 per ft²), and even surpass the final units at Vita, which are asking between $2,500 and $3,000 per ft². Justified by new construction, superior design, and the unmatched service of the Four Seasons brand. Even the more accessible lines remain within the same luxury tier, offering slightly smaller or more practical layouts at lower total prices,  ensuring every residence delivers both sophistication and substance beyond just dollars per square foot.

Coconut Grove: Miami’s Quiet Outperformer

When you look at Miami’s condo markets over the last 15 years, Coconut Grove stands out as the clear winner. While neighborhoods like Brickell, Miami Beach, and Sunny Isles have seen their ups and downs, the Grove’s price-per-square-foot line rises steadily and consistently above the rest. That strength comes from two things: extremely limited new supply and a deep-rooted end-user market. Buyers here aren’t investors chasing rentals—they’re families and end users who value quality, location, and lifestyle. As a result, resale inventory is scarce, and bidding wars for prime lines like the “A” units at Park Grove are common. With interest rates expected to ease just as new projects like the Four Seasons Grove deliver, this neighborhood could see another jump in values—continuing a 15-year pattern of outperformance across Miami.

Highlighting the Grove’s strong appreciation over the past 15 years and the limited availability of newer inventory and rental units.
