Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove: ten reasons buyers choose it

Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove is a 20-storey bayfront tower of roughly 70 homes and four penthouses at 2699 South Bayshore Drive, by CMC Group and Fort Partners, designed by Luis Revuelta with interiors by Michele Bönan and landscape by Raymond Jungles, and the first stand-alone Four Seasons residences in Florida. Vertical construction began in mid-2026. Here is what the buyers who choose it are choosing.

Written by the desk at Miami Dossier from the developer's published material and the public construction record, cross-referenced across several sources, with anything unconfirmed flagged. The desk works in English, Spanish and Portuguese and does not represent the developer. All notes from the desk.

The Note
30 August 2026

The desk at Miami Dossier covers a small number of Miami buildings closely rather than the whole market lightly. Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove is one the desk is asked about every week, and this note is compiled from the developer's published material and the public record rather than from a brochure summary. It is the list of reasons buyers give when they choose this building, in the order we hear them, with the facts behind each one.

One. The first stand-alone Four Seasons residences in Florida

Four Seasons has residences attached to hotels at The Surf Club in Surfside and in Brickell. This is its first residence-only building in the state: no hotel, no transient use, the brand's service platform for roughly 70 households. The desk at Miami Dossier reads that as the defining fact.

Two. South Bayshore Drive, on the water

2699 South Bayshore Drive is on the bay in Coconut Grove, the stretch between Vizcaya and the village that carries the highest-priced condominium corridor in the Grove, with the Kampong, Mercy Hospital and the sailing clubs as neighbours and the village, the parks and the schools a few minutes away. Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest neighbourhood and its greenest.

Three. Fort Partners, who built The Surf Club

Fort Partners developed the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences at The Surf Club, the building that reset the top of the Miami market, and is the Four Seasons partner here. CMC Group, Ugo Colombo's firm, built Bristol Tower, Santa Maria and Brickell Flatiron and delivered Vita at Grove Isle in late 2025.

Your situation is specific. Tell the desk in one message and we will say what applies to you, what does not, and who to speak with.

Four. Michele Bönan on the interiors

The Florentine designer behind the Four Seasons hotels in Florence and Milan designed the residences: Italian marble, Italian kitchens and baths, a palette drawn from the Grove's canopy and the bay.

Five. Roughly 70 homes at four per floor

Roughly 70 residences and four penthouses across 20 storeys, published at four homes per floor, each with a private secured elevator and foyer. A low count for a bayfront site of this quality, and the reason the shoreline and the amenity stay quiet.

Six. Two to four bedrooms, roughly 2,000 to 4,000 square feet

Published plans run from roughly 2,025 to 3,975 square feet with ceilings of roughly 11 feet, floor-to-ceiling glass and terraces. The four penthouses run from roughly 6,400 to 9,700 square feet.

Seven. Luis Revuelta's curve

Revuelta Architecture International designed the tower with a softly curved facade that turns every home toward the bay. It is the same practice behind Ocean Terrace in North Beach.

Eight. A spa of roughly 10,000 square feet

The published spa runs to roughly 10,000 square feet with an ice fountain, a cold plunge, a hydromassage pool and a full sauna circuit, alongside a gym, a pool deck on the bay and a restaurant of roughly 5,000 square feet at the base.

Nine. Raymond Jungles on the grounds

The landscape is by Raymond Jungles, the Miami practice that has become the reference for tropical gardens at this level, from the Ocean Terrace park to the Grove's own streets.

Ten. Rising since mid-2026

Construction began in October 2025, the foundation was completed in the spring of 2026 and the tower went vertical in June, supported by a construction loan reported at roughly 324 million dollars. Completion is guided for 2028. The desk at Miami Dossier holds the delivery history of both developers and shares it on request.

What the desk at Miami Dossier can send on Four Seasons Coconut Grove

The current floor plans by line, the current release and the deposit schedule, obtained directly from the sales team on request, together with our own floor plan analysis and an honest comparison against the other Grove buildings and the Brickell bayfront. None of it is published here because it changes. Ask for it and it arrives from the desk at Miami Dossier the same day, usually by WhatsApp, with our opinion attached, whether that opinion is Four Seasons or another building.

The questions around the building

Most of the people who ask the desk at Miami Dossier about Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove are not only choosing a building. They are moving to Miami from New York, California, London, Bogotá, Mexico City or São Paulo, or adding a Miami position to a portfolio held elsewhere, and the building question sits inside a larger one: how to buy new construction in Miami, how to hold it, and what changes when you do.

The desk keeps short notes on the parts that come up every week: how buying preconstruction in Miami actually works, what a normal deposit schedule looks like, whether you need to be in Miami to buy, whether a foreign buyer can get a mortgage, what taxes a foreign buyer pays on a Miami condo, and the Florida state income tax question for anyone relocating from a high-tax state. For buyers arriving from a specific market there are notes for Bogotá, Mexico City and London, and a broader one on why so many wealthy families are moving to Miami.

Read the ones that apply, then bring the rest to the desk at Miami Dossier. It usually takes one conversation to see how Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove fits the move, or whether another building fits it better.

A Note on Advice

This note is general information for people considering Miami, written by a real estate desk, not by a law or accounting firm. Nothing here is legal, tax, immigration or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own circumstances. Rules change, treaties differ by country, and the right answer for one family is the wrong answer for another.

Speak with your own attorney and CPA before you commit to anything. If you do not have one who works with international buyers in Florida, the desk is glad to recommend an attorney, a CPA or an adviser suited to your situation, and to sit in the first conversation so that nothing is lost in translation.

The Desk

Everything in this note has a solution.

Structure, financing, currency, timing, the right building and the right line: the desk works through these questions with international buyers every week, and the answer is nearly always that it can be done, in order, without surprises. If Miami is on your mind, as a home or as an allocation, we would be glad to share what we are seeing, privately, and to start with the question this note did not answer.
