Just drive around Coconut Grove and you’ll see it everywhere – bulldozers, front loaders, dump trucks and trenchers. New construction, whether you like it or not, remains alive and well in the Grove and prices are stronger than ever.

The home features a contemporary design and beautiful wood features which are in line with Drive’s other projects, including a floating frame which Drive describes as “simultaneously providing shelter from Miami’s summer rains and serving as a versatile wood-screen shading device system that offers tranquil tree top views.” Below are some renderings of the gorgeous interior design and finishes of the home.

Over the last six moths, there have been two sales over $1,000,000 (one resale and one new construction property), as well as four sales in the $900k range (two resales and two new construction properties).  Two sales had a price per square foot of $400.00+, with a handful of sales in the high $300’s per square foot.

Most recently, a townhouse at 3121 Oak Avenue sold for $1M ($414.94/sf).  This was a resale, as the property was originally built in 2009. The townhouse is a stand-alone property which is very rare for the neighborhood (meaning the townhouse does not share any walls or roofs with its one identical neighboring townhouse).  Other notable features included a 2-car garage, private pool, hurricane impact windows/doors, and large 1,200 square foot rooftop patio with summer kitchen.

Inventory in the neighborhood continues to remain low, making it an excellent time to sell.  If you are thinking about buying, selling or renting a home in Coconut Grove or the neighboring communities, contact me directly at 305.799.2124 or lrubens@bhsusa.com.
