Vita at Grove Isle in Coconut Grove: Residences, Pricing and Amenities

Vita at Grove Isle is a waterfront condominium at 4 Grove Isle Drive in Coconut Grove, developed by Ugo Colombo's CMC Group. According to the developer's project page, the building is a seven-story condominium with panoramic Biscayne Bay views, floor-to-ceiling windows, Italian marble and smart home functionality. The same page describes Vita as the start of a new era for Grove Isle, a private island in Biscayne Bay.

The project is composed of three connected buildings named Mare, Luce and Sole, arranged as a single curved form that follows the island's shoreline, according to Florida YIMBY's December 2025 report on the project's completion. The massing and orientation were designed to maximize bay views from each residence. For a family weighing several generations under one address, that curved layout matters, because it affects which residences face which direction and how much of the bay each one captures.

Sales began in 2023 alongside the groundbreaking, according to Florida YIMBY's December 2025 report, which also cited the development team as saying the buyer profile has been largely domestic, including Miami residents moving out of single-family homes in nearby neighborhoods. That detail is useful context. Vita was positioned to offer large floor plans in a condominium format with full-service amenities, which is the trade many households are considering when a house no longer fits how the family lives.

According to the New Construction Condo Miami project page, Vita offers 65 residences, with three- and four-bedroom floor plans ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet. Two-story penthouse residences range from 3,400 to 6,600 square feet, each with a private rooftop terrace, summer kitchen and swimming pool, per the same page. Royist's project profile also describes a collection of 65 residences on a private 20-acre island, including 12 bi-level penthouses.

Sources disagree on the penthouse count. Miami Residential's Vita page refers to 14 bi-level penthouses, while Royist cites 12. Buyers should ask the sales team for the current, building-specific floor plan matrix instead of relying on any single online summary. The same caution applies to the largest penthouse size: one brokerage guide, Ivan and Mike's 2026 article, describes bi-level penthouses of more than 7,000 square feet, while the New Construction Condo Miami page lists a top size of 6,600 square feet.

For a multi-generational household, the practical questions are about layout rather than headline square footage. Florida YIMBY's December 2025 report notes that residences have private elevator access with dedicated foyers, which can help a larger family come and go with some separation. Ask which plans put bedrooms on opposite sides of the living space, how the bi-level penthouses divide public and private floors, and whether a rooftop terrace is reached by an internal stair, an elevator, or both.

Pricing at a nearly sold-out building is a moving target, so the figures below carry their source and date. According to Florida YIMBY's December 2025 report, most residences at Vita had been sold, and remaining inventory was priced from approximately $6.5 million, including a two-story penthouse with a private rooftop pool and terrace at $22 million.

On price per square foot, Ivan and Mike's 2026 article puts current inventory at roughly $2,400 to more than $3,000, depending on floor, building and orientation. CondoBlackBook lists an average of $2,762 per square foot for the building, though it did not show units listed in the MLS when its page was captured. Because these figures come from different dates and methods, treat them as orientation points rather than a quote. The only reliable number for a specific residence is the current price and the current plan.

Context helps, with caveats. Ivan and Mike's 2026 article says comparable ultra-luxury boutique condominiums in Miami regularly trade well above $3,000 per square foot on the resale market, while branded tower developments approach $4,000 per square foot. That is a brokerage's characterization, not an independent index. A prudent family will ask for recent comparable closings at similar floor, view and size before forming a view on value.

According to Florida YIMBY's December 2025 report, amenities include a bayfront swimming pool, pickleball and padel courts, a poolside bar and lounge, a fitness center and spa, and access to the Grove Isle Racquet and Yacht Club, which adds recreational facilities and tennis courts. The same report says La Sponda, an Italian restaurant by Gioia Hospitality Group, was expected to open in 2026. Confirm the current opening status directly before counting on it in your decision.

Several of these amenities suit a family spanning age groups: racquet sports for adult children, pool and cabana time for grandchildren, and a spa and fitness center for older members. Miami Residential's Vita page also mentions a residents' lounge, bayfront pool and jacuzzi, and cabanas. CondoBlackBook's amenity list adds a sauna, a business center and marina water access, though availability and terms of marina use should be verified with the association.

Inside the residences, Florida YIMBY's December 2025 report describes open-plan kitchens with concealed Miele appliances, bathrooms with Italian cabinetry, European fixtures and book-matched marble, and pre-installed home automation and air and water filtration. Ceiling heights are another place where sources diverge: Florida YIMBY cites at least 10 feet from finished floor to drop ceiling, while a CondoBlackBook feature list cites 11 to 12.5 feet. Ask for the plan-specific figures in writing. The design credits also vary by source, with Florida YIMBY naming Arcadis, S&E Architects and A++ Architecture, and other listings naming CallisonRTKL.

The island setting is the building's defining feature and its main trade-off. The developer's project page describes Grove Isle as a private island with waterfront views, fine dining, marinas and parks. The New Construction Condo Miami page, however, lists limited walkability among its lows, noting that Vita lacks the walk-to-cafe convenience of some other Coconut Grove developments. CondoBlackBook shows a Walk Score of 25, which it labels car-dependent, and a Transit Score of 32.

For a family with teenagers, grandparents or drivers of different ages, that matters. Errands, school runs and medical appointments will likely involve a car, and the supplied research does not describe shuttle or ride services. On parking, the New Construction Condo Miami page says there are approximately 50 garage spaces for around 65 units, with valet as the alternative for those without a garage. Ask exactly how many spaces each residence receives, whether they are deeded or assigned, and whether guest parking is available for visiting relatives.

The surroundings are also worth understanding. The New Construction Condo Miami page notes that nearby buildings on Grove Isle are older, dating to around 1980, and that most residences there are priced between $1 million and $2 million. That contrast can shape the feel of the approach and the surrounding island. Visit at different times of day, drive the route to the places your household uses most, and judge the setting for yourselves.

CMC Group describes itself on the Vita team page as a fully integrated development company focused on luxury residential, commercial and retail properties, founded in 1986 by Ugo Colombo. The same page says Vita marks Colombo's return to Coconut Grove after Grovenor House, a 32-story condominium he developed in 2005 on South Bayshore Drive. A developer's own description is promotional by nature, so pair it with visits to completed CMC projects and conversations with their owners.

On timing, Florida YIMBY's December 2025 report states that Vita had reached completion. If you are considering a residence now, you are likely evaluating a finished building rather than a plan on paper, which lets you walk the actual residence, check views and test sound, light and layout. It also means that some listings may be resales rather than developer inventory. Rehub Miami's guide describes the buying path for both resales and remaining developer inventory, so ask early which category a specific residence falls into.

Do not assume that online summaries reflect today's availability. CondoBlackBook's page, meanwhile, showed no units listed in the MLS when captured. Confirm availability directly with the developer's sales team or a broker with current information.

Start with the plan. Match bedroom count and layout to how each generation actually lives: who needs a ground-adjacent bedroom, who works from home, who hosts. Then compare orientation, because the curved design means views differ by building and floor. Ask to see the specific residence, not a model, and request the signed plan with measured interior and terrace areas.

Next, clarify the operating details that the supplied research does not settle. Request the current budget, the list of what fees include, the pet rules and the amenity-use rules for guests and children directly from the association or sales team.

Finally, decide who will be on the title and who will actually use the residence, and align that with the building's occupancy rules by asking for them in writing.
