Grove at Grand Bay
Construction is wrapping up at Grove at Grand Bay, Terra Group's two tower residential development located on a three acre site in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami. Designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), the two towers twist along their vertical axis, allowing for a dynamic range of views of Biscayne Bay and the nearby park. The facade is composed of a window wall system set back from the concrete slab at each floor to create generous terraces with up to 12 feet of depth. A total of 96 residences will be offered between both towers.
