Grove at Grand Bay Coconut Grove Floor Plans | BIG Bjarke Ingels 2 to 6 BR Guide
At 2669 South Bayshore Drive in Coconut Grove, Grove at Grand Bay is the most architecturally significant residential building completed in Miami-Dade County in the 2010s by any objective measure of design ambition. Developed by Terra Group — the same developer behind Eighty Seven Park Miami Beach, covered in this series — designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) in collaboration with Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe, with landscape by Raymond Jungles — the landscape architect whose work also appears at Jade Signature in this series — Grove at Grand Bay was completed in 2016 as two 22-story spiraling glass towers on a 3-acre site one block from Biscayne Bay, delivering 95 total residences across the North Tower (58 units) and South Tower (37 units) in three- through six-bedroom configurations from approximately 1,297 to 7,013 interior square feet, plus penthouses extending to 12,547 square feet.
The building is the first LEED Gold certified residential development in Miami-Dade County — a sustainability achievement that is structural rather than aspirational: the spiraling tower form that gives each floor plate its twisting orientation relative to the floors above and below was specifically designed to maximize natural light penetration, cross-ventilation, and shade across the terraces throughout the day, reducing mechanical cooling load as a direct architectural consequence of the building's form.
BIG's stated design concept for Grove at Grand Bay is concise and precise: the firm describes its intent to "re-grove" the heart of Coconut Grove — restoring the dense, jungle-like vegetation that historically defined the neighborhood's identity before mid-century development replaced it with asphalt and concrete. Raymond Jungles's 3-acre landscape surrounding the towers is the ground-level expression of that concept; the spiraling tower form with its 12-foot-deep terraces is the vertical expression, creating the visual effect of a living, planted building as the terraces are landscaped and the glass reflects the surrounding canopy.
Two Spiraling Towers — North and South
The two towers at Grove at Grand Bay are not mirrors of each other. They are described in BIG's own project documentation as towers that "respond to the surroundings and to each other, to give optimum views at every level" — two independent spiraling forms positioned on the 3-acre site so that each tower's view corridors are complementary rather than obstructive, and each floor plate's rotation angle is calibrated to the specific view available at that elevation.
The North Tower's spiral rotates to capture the view corridor toward Biscayne Bay, the sailboat marina, and the open water extending eastward. The South Tower's spiral rotates toward the Miami skyline, the Brickell corridor, and the southern bay. No floor in either tower has an identical view to any other floor — the spiral means that every floor plate is physically rotated relative to the floor above and below, producing a continuously changing view cone as residents ascend through the building.
North Tower (58 residences, 22 stories): The larger of the two towers by unit count, with the building's most active resale inventory at any given time. Bay, marina, and open water views dominate the primary orientation.
South Tower (37 residences, 22 stories): The more boutique of the two towers, with fewer residences and the building's primary Miami skyline and Brickell corridor orientation. The South Tower's lower unit count — 37 homes across 22 floors — means an average of fewer than two residences per floor, delivering a privacy and exclusivity level comparable to the most boutique buildings in the Sunny Isles Beach and Edgewater markets.
The Triple-12 Specification — The Floor Plan Standard That Defines Every Residence
Every residence at Grove at Grand Bay — from the smallest three-bedroom configuration to the largest six-bedroom penthouse — is delivered with three confirmed dimensions that are specific to this building and appear nowhere else in the Miami luxury condo market as a combined triple standard:
12-foot ceilings. Every residence in both towers has 12-foot ceiling heights throughout all principal rooms — not 10-foot, not 10'6", not select upper floors only. Twelve feet throughout, building-wide.
12-foot-deep terraces. Every private terrace in the building is 12 feet deep — the same generous proportion as the Fendi Château Residences and Murano at Portofino, calibrated to function as a genuine outdoor living room rather than a conventional balcony. Every terrace includes a summer kitchen as a standard specification.
12-foot floor-to-ceiling glass. The floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors are 12 feet tall — matching the ceiling height with the full glazed surface, eliminating any spandrel between the top of the glass and the ceiling. The 12-foot glass height at 12-foot ceilings means the glass occupies the full wall height from slab to slab, producing an interior light quality that is specific to this specification and unavailable in buildings where the glass stops 6 to 18 inches below the ceiling.
The triple-12 combination — all three specifications active simultaneously in every residence — delivers a spatial quality that is immediate and physically perceptible upon entering any floor plan in the building. The 12-foot ceilings create genuine room-height generosity. The 12-foot glass fills those ceilings with natural light. And the 12-foot terrace extends the floor plan outward into the Coconut Grove landscape and sky. No other building in this MPE series delivers all three at the same 12-foot dimension building-wide.
The Gas Cooking Kitchen — A Coconut Grove Floor Plan Standard
Every Grove at Grand Bay kitchen is a chef kitchen with gas cooking — a specification confirmed across all official building documentation. The gas cooking standard at Grove at Grand Bay is significant in the context of this MPE series because it is one of only a handful of buildings where gas cooking is confirmed as standard delivery in a Miami high-rise, alongside Elysee Miami, the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach, and 2000 Ocean in Hallandale Beach.
Gas cooking in a high-rise requires specific structural and engineering provisions that most Miami luxury towers avoid due to cost and complexity. The BIG design team and Terra Group specifically chose to accommodate gas cooking as a standard kitchen specification — a decision that reflects the building's emphasis on domestic quality over construction efficiency, consistent with every other design decision at Grove at Grand Bay.
The confirmed kitchen specification across all floor plans includes:
- Chef kitchen with gas cooking — standard building-wide
- Custom Italian cabinetry in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms
- Summer kitchen on each private terrace — an outdoor cooking station as standard
- Top-of-the-line appliance suite
- Contemporary bathrooms with premium fixtures
3 Bedroom Residences — From ~1,297 Square Feet
Three-bedroom floor plans are the building's entry-level configurations, beginning at approximately 1,297 interior square feet and extending to approximately 3,100 square feet depending on floor and tower position. Every three-bedroom residence in the building — regardless of interior square footage — is delivered with 12-foot ceilings, 12-foot-deep terraces with summer kitchens, and 12-foot floor-to-ceiling glass.
The range within the three-bedroom tier is meaningful: at the lower end, approximately 1,297 square feet is the building's most accessible resale price point. At the upper end, three-bedroom floor plans extending to approximately 3,100 square feet are among the most spacious three-bedroom configurations in the Coconut Grove luxury market. Current resale pricing for three-bedroom configurations ranges from approximately $6.8 million to $8 million depending on floor level, tower, and specific orientation.
4 Bedroom Residences — From ~2,900 Square Feet
Four-bedroom floor plans begin at approximately 2,900 interior square feet — the building's most active resale tier by transaction frequency. Confirmed active listing data describes a South Tower corner four-bedroom at 4,933 square feet with unobstructed views — the larger end of the four-bedroom range delivering a residential scale that is genuinely estate-like within a 22-story Coconut Grove tower.
The four-bedroom floor plans at Grove at Grand Bay deliver the building's defining spatial experience at its fullest — the 12-foot ceilings, 12-foot glass, and 12-foot terraces at a four-bedroom scale create principal rooms of proportions that are uncommon in any Coconut Grove residential building regardless of price. Current four-bedroom pricing ranges from approximately $9 million to $12 million.
5 and 6 Bedroom Residences — Up to ~7,013 Square Feet
Five-bedroom floor plans extend to approximately 5,687 square feet in the largest confirmed standard configurations. Six-bedroom residences reach up to 7,013 interior square feet — the building's most expansive non-penthouse floor plans. Active listing data confirms a six-bedroom residence with expansive views of Biscayne Bay, Downtown Miami, and the lush greenery of Coconut Grove with a customized floor plan, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and premium finishes at the five-bedroom scale.
At 7,013 square feet in a 22-story building one block from Biscayne Bay in Miami's oldest neighborhood, the six-bedroom Grove at Grand Bay floor plan is a residential scale with no direct equivalent in the Coconut Grove luxury condo market — the closest comparison in South Florida is the villa-scale configurations at the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach, and even those are delivered in a low-rise converted building rather than a 22-story spiraling glass tower.
The Penthouse Collection — Up to 12,547 Square Feet
Penthouses at Grove at Grand Bay are the building's crown floor plans, extending to 12,547 interior square feet in the most expansive confirmed configuration. Active listing data confirms penthouses with 6 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms at this scale — one of the largest confirmed non-triplex penthouse floor plans in the Coconut Grove and Miami market. The penthouse tier delivers the full triple-12 specification at crown scale, with the spiral tower geometry producing the building's widest panoramic arc from both the North and South Tower's uppermost floors.
The BIG "Re-Groves" Design Concept — Architecture in Service of a Neighborhood
BIG's stated design premise for Grove at Grand Bay goes beyond the individual building to a neighborhood urban design claim: the firm describes the project as an intervention that "re-groves the heart of Coconut Grove" — restoring the lush, verdant character of Miami's oldest neighborhood that had been eroded by mid-century commercial development. The mechanism is specific:
The two towers' spiraling forms create a visual profile from the street that reads as a planted, green mass rather than a glass slab. As the terraces rotate at each floor, the plantings on those terraces — distributed across 95 residences' 12-foot-deep summer kitchen terraces — create a vertical garden effect when viewed from the street and from the bay. Raymond Jungles's 3-acre ground-level landscape connects to the planted terraces above in a continuous botanical narrative from ground plane to building crown.
From BIG's documentation: "The two towers of the Grove at Grand Bay respond to the surroundings and to each other, to give optimum views at every level. The towers take off from the ground to capture the full breadth of panoramic views from sailboat bays and the marina to the Miami skyline." The spiraling form is specifically described as the architectural mechanism by which both towers deliver superior view quality to every residence simultaneously — not by competing for the same view corridor but by rotating their floor plates to different angles at each level, ensuring that no floor in either tower is blocked by the other.
The Raymond Jungles Landscape — 3 Acres of Tropical Botanical Design
Raymond Jungles — whose landscape work also appears at Jade Signature Sunny Isles Beach in this series — designed the 3-acre ground plane at Grove at Grand Bay as the building's connection to Coconut Grove's historic botanical character. The landscape design wraps the two towers in a continuous tropical garden that is specifically calibrated to the Coconut Grove environment — native and adapted species, dense plantings that recreate the neighborhood's historic "jungle" quality, and pathways and gathering spaces that read as a private botanical preserve rather than a conventional condo landscaping project.
The five pools within the landscape program are distributed across the 3-acre grounds rather than concentrated on a single amenity deck — a distribution that reflects Jungles's approach to the site as a continuous garden in which the building's amenities are embedded rather than a tower sitting on a landscaped base.
The First LEED Gold Certified Residential Development in Miami-Dade County
Grove at Grand Bay's status as the first LEED Gold certified residential development in Miami-Dade County is not a post-construction certification applied to a conventionally designed building. The LEED Gold achievement is a direct consequence of the BIG design decisions:
The spiraling tower form that shades each floor's terrace from direct overhead sun at peak hours reduces mechanical cooling load. The 12-foot-deep terraces provide solar shading for the floor-to-ceiling glass behind them. The building's orientation relative to prevailing winds was specifically calculated to maximize natural ventilation through the terrace and window openings. And the 3-acre Raymond Jungles landscape reduces the urban heat island effect at the building's base.
For residents, the LEED Gold certification produces a building that is materially cooler, better ventilated, and less energy-intensive than comparable buildings — environmental performance that translates directly into lower operating costs and a more comfortable daily living environment.
