Miami’s condo market has a new point of reference: the Four Seasons Residences Coconut Grove. Drawing on decades of experience selling in the Grove, Chris Suarez and I deliver an independent, no-nonsense analysis of this development. We examine what sets it apart, how it stacks up against both resale options and other new construction, and why buyer interest continues to build.
This isn’t just another condo review. It’s our 59th independent analysis in Miami, offering practical, data-driven insight from professionals who know Coconut Grove inside and out — with a focus on location, lifestyle, and long-term value in one of the city’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
Four Seasons Coconut Grove: Authentic Private Residences
The Four Seasons Coconut Grove is not simply another branded condominium, it represents a rare example of true Four Seasons private residences. Unlike many branded projects that rely primarily on name licensing, this development is fully managed under Four Seasons’ exacting standards and does not include a hotel component. Limited to just 70 residences, owners benefit from daily access to world-class services without the transient activity associated with hotel operations.
Four Seasons’ hands-on involvement ensures rigorous quality control across every detail, from staff training to ongoing building management. A long-term, 30-year licensing agreement provides consistency and continuity well into the future. For buyers familiar with the brand, the name alone conveys a commitment to service, refinement, and exclusivity — positioning this as one of the most highly anticipated residential offerings in Coconut Grove.
Hotel Energy vs. Private Luxury
Miami’s strongest-performing Four Seasons residences, including Brickell and the Surf Club in Surfside, benefit from integrated hotel components that bring dynamic amenities, added revenue streams, and global brand visibility. In contrast, the Four Seasons Coconut Grove is designed as a purely residential experience, offering Four Seasons’ renowned service in a private, resident-first setting without the presence of a hotel.
This model prioritizes discretion, lower traffic, and a more intimate living environment, while intentionally forgoing the additional services and financial upside a hotel component can provide. For buyers who value privacy, personalization, and a quieter pace, this balance underscores the distinct appeal of Coconut Grove and the lifestyle it supports.
What Distinguishes the Four Seasons?
1. Location, Views, and a Truly Exclusive Lifestyle
Positioned on prime waterfront in Coconut Grove, the building is designed to balance expansive views with a high degree of privacy. With just 70 residences, the low-density configuration limits neighbors and elevates exclusivity. The coveted southeast “trophy line” corner residences capture the most desirable light and water views, while every home is carefully oriented to maximize its connection to the waterfront. Combined with the Four Seasons brand and access to the Surf Club, this offering presents a rare opportunity to secure a luxury residence where location, lifestyle, and prestige intersect.
2. The Four Seasons Advantage
The value of the Four Seasons name extends well beyond refined finishes. Through an exclusive relationship with the invitation-only Four Seasons Surf Club, residents enjoy access to private beaches, multiple pools, and acclaimed dining — without the associated membership fee. This connection creates a seamless lifestyle, allowing owners to experience resort-level amenities while living in a private, low-density residential setting. From thoughtfully designed corner residences to curated services, the brand delivers a level of prestige, convenience, and exclusivity few developments can replicate.
3. Every Detail, Pure Four Seasons Living
While the footprint may be intimate, every element of this Four Seasons property is intentionally designed to maximize comfort, functionality, and lifestyle. Amenities include a signature ground-floor restaurant, a sixth-floor pool deck with cabanas and a bar, a fully serviced residents’ lounge, a private owner’s entertaining space, a children’s playroom, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a world-class spa. Each space is carefully curated to deliver the hallmark Four Seasons experience within a refined, private environment.
Trophy Floor Plans: Why the “01” Line Commands Attention
The Four Seasons Coconut Grove’s “01” line earns its trophy status for good reason. Expansive perimeter exposures capture sweeping views of the bay, South Bayshore Drive, and the surrounding landscape. Interiors are thoughtfully planned with minimal hallways and generous room proportions, including an approximately 18′ × 14′ primary bedroom, multiple secondary bedrooms, and a junior suite that can function as a fifth bedroom.
The primary suite is designed for both privacy and ease, featuring dual bathrooms and two oversized walk-in closets — allowing residents to move through their routines independently without disruption. Flexible dens and media rooms offer additional adaptability, easily reconfigured into Jack-and-Jill bedroom layouts or expanded living spaces, making these residences particularly well suited for modern family living.
Outdoor space is equally impressive. Corner residences feature wraparound terraces, while center units extend from the bay side through to the rear of the building, providing outdoor exposure on both ends. Starting at approximately 1,100 square feet, these terraces are significantly larger than those found in comparable Park Grove residences, reinforcing the trophy nature of the “01” line.

~3,000 ft² | $8.4M–$11M | ≈ $2,700–$3,800 per ft²
Intelligent Design Throughout: Luxury Beyond the Trophy Residences
Beyond the standout “01” line, every Four Seasons floor plan is designed with an emphasis on light, views, and everyday livability. The layouts strike a careful balance between form and function, offering flexibility across a range of sizes and preferences. The “02” line, at roughly 4,000 square feet, provides a more traditional and balanced layout compared to the angular geometry of the “01” line. Its cleaner walls, boxier proportions, and well-defined spaces create a sense of ease and flow that many buyers find especially livable.
With a southern exposure, the “02” residences enjoy broad bay views, along with sightlines toward the Brickell skyline to the left and the single-family enclaves of Gables Estates and Cocoplum to the south. The “03” and “04” lines offer approximately 3,000 square feet, featuring three bedrooms, dens, and media rooms that accommodate a wide range of lifestyle needs. Across all plans, the design consistently maximizes natural light, water and city views, and meaningful outdoor access. From circulation and room proportions to terrace placement, every residence — not just the trophy units — delivers high-end finishes, expansive vistas, and flexible spaces suited for both daily living and entertaining.
Luxury in the Details | Designed to Impress, Built to Last
Each residence is finished well beyond standard luxury specifications. Natural travertine flooring sets the foundation, complemented by doors selected for proper scale and architectural presence. Ceiling heights reach 10’6” throughout the residences and are fully flush, with no dropped soffits, creating an open, airy feel comparable to even taller volumes. Penthouses elevate this further with ceilings reaching 11’6”.
Every home comes standard with Lutron smart home systems — a feature many developments treat as an optional upgrade. The team also works closely with interior designers, offering credits or installation support to ensure residences are move-in ready from day one. From thoughtfully planned primary suites and refined secondary baths to properly designed laundry rooms, every detail prioritizes functionality, elegance, and everyday convenience, resulting in homes that feel intentional from floor to finish.
Elevated Kitchens and Baths: A New Benchmark
The kitchens and bathrooms at Four Seasons set a new standard for refined living. Molteni-designed kitchens feature natural stone countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and top-tier Miele appliances, with both light and dark finish palettes available to suit individual preferences. Subtle yet meaningful details — including induction cooktops, seamlessly integrated air vents, and efficient layouts — make these kitchens as functional as they are visually striking.
Bathrooms carry this same level of sophistication, with full-height marble surfaces, custom millwork, and high-end fixtures that elevate the experience. The result strikes a rare balance: more refined than typical developer finishes, yet practical and timeless — akin to what a leading interior designer would deliver, without sacrificing livability.
Optionality and Availability
Approximately half of the building has already been sold, marking a meaningful milestone that reflects strong buyer confidence and supports the project’s construction timeline. Even so, a broad selection of residences remains available across multiple lines and layouts, providing buyers with substantial flexibility.
With construction actively underway and closings anticipated in early 2028, buyers still have the opportunity to secure premium residences while the project continues to advance — combining choice, momentum, and forward visibility in one of Coconut Grove’s most anticipated developments.
How Do the Prices Compare?
What truly differentiates the Four Seasons Coconut Grove is not only the product itself, but the combination of location and lifestyle. Coconut Grove delivers a rare, walkable, village-style environment that appeals to primary residents, empty nesters, and international buyers seeking a vibrant yet private community. The project’s pricing reflects a clear premium — but one that remains attainable within this highly constrained submarket — balancing luxury finishes, scale, and long-term value.
Four Seasons Residences are positioned squarely within Miami’s top tier, competing directly with the city’s most prestigious developments, including many beachfront towers. Pricing in Coconut Grove sits well above Park Grove, which averages approximately $3,300 per square foot, and Grove at Grand Bay, closer to $1,800 per square foot. It also exceeds the remaining inventory at Vita, where final offerings range from roughly $2,500 to $3,000 per square foot. This premium is supported by new construction, superior architectural execution, and the unmatched service standards of the Four Seasons brand.
Importantly, even the more accessible residence lines remain within the same luxury tier. Buyers benefit from slightly smaller or more efficient layouts at lower total price points, without compromising on finishes, services, or brand integrity — ensuring each residence delivers meaningful value beyond a simple price-per-square-foot comparison.
Coconut Grove: Miami’s Quiet Outperformer
When you analyze Miami’s condominium markets over the past 15 years, Coconut Grove consistently emerges as the standout performer. While Brickell, Miami Beach, and Sunny Isles have experienced sharper cycles of expansion and correction, the Grove’s price-per-square-foot trajectory has climbed steadily — and decisively — ahead of the broader market.
This resilience is driven by two fundamentals: severely constrained new supply and a deeply entrenched end-user buyer base. Coconut Grove attracts families and long-term residents, not transient investors chasing short-term rental yields. As a result, resale inventory remains chronically tight, and competition for the best product — particularly premium lines like Park Grove’s coveted “A” units — is frequently intense.
With interest rates expected to moderate just as limited new developments, including Four Seasons Coconut Grove, begin delivering, the neighborhood is positioned for another leg of value growth. If history is any guide, Coconut Grove’s pattern of long-term outperformance within Miami real estate is far from finished.
