In the heart of Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood is 2699 South Bayshore Drive: once home to a pedestrian nine-story office building, soon to be the site of Miami's latest exercise in vertical opulence. CMC Group and Fort Partners, led by Ugo Colombo and Nadim Ashi, respectively, are the force behind this 20-story, 70-unit spectacle. Groundbreaking in 2025 and set for completion in 2028, future residents will be rewarded with a luxurious expanse of distinctive Four Seasons-branded living space.
In the architectural arms race of Miami's luxury market, Revuelta Architecture International has opted for curves over corners at Four Seasons Coconut Grove. The building's form, reminiscent of a stack of gently warped dinner plates, blends seamlessly with its surroundings. This softened geometry serves not just aesthetic purposes, but practical ones, too: It ensures that when residents gaze out at their unobstructed vistas of Biscayne Bay, they can do so without the distraction of sharp angles defining their views.
Michele Bönan, tasked with translating Coconut Grove's essence into interior design, has delivered a masterclass in cultural hybridization. The Florentine architect, whose resume reads like a who's who of boutique hotels, has applied his "no precise style, just atmosphere" ethos to startling effect. Marble, metals, and textiles provide counterpoint to the sleek Italian craftsmanship. It's as if the Uffizi Gallery decided to open a beachfront annex. Bönan's interiors don't so much reflect Coconut Grove as they do refract it, breaking down the neighborhood's character into its constituent parts and reassembling them with Tuscan flair. The result is at once familiar and foreign — a Miami filtered through a Florentine lens.
Four Seasons Coconut Grove presents 70 residences that prioritize space and technology. Unit sizes span from 2,025 to 3,975 square feet, not including the even larger penthouses. Ceiling heights start at a lofty 10 feet 6 inches, with some units featuring ceilings just over 11 feet. Private elevators open directly into each residence's foyer, a feature standard across all units. Terraces, complete with glass railings, provide additional living area. The integration of Lutron lighting controls and Crestron home automation systems throughout each residence speaks to the project's focus on modern convenience.
Interior finishes reflect a commitment to quality and style. Italian travertine flooring graces each home. Kitchens, a collaboration between Michele Bönan and Molteni, incorporate high-end Miele appliances and European finishes. Bathrooms feature Italian marble, with Noorth providing cabinetry and paneling, and Margraf supplying additional marble elements. Bönan's design scheme balances neutral tones with colors inspired by Coconut Grove's landscape. The interiors showcase a carefully curated mix of materials: linen and raffia add texture, while veined marble, bronze, and chrome contribute polish and sophistication.
Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove represents a confluence of Italian craftsmanship and Miami's tropical modernism. Michele Bönan's interior design marries Tuscan sensibilities with Coconut Grove's lush surroundings, resulting in spaces that are both globally sophisticated and locally rooted. From the Italian travertine floors to the Molteni kitchens, every element has been carefully selected to create a living experience that is uniquely luxurious. As Miami's luxury real estate market continues to evolve, this project sets a new benchmark for interior design, one that may well influence high-end residential developments for years to come.
