High above Biscayne Bay, two residences at Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove have been combined to create a singular waterfront home with the proportions, privacy, and personality rarely found in a new condominium tower.
Residence 1801/1802, offered at $13.95 million, encompasses 4,833 square feet with six bedrooms, six full baths, and a powder room. Listed by Ivan Chorney and Michael Martirena of Compass, the residence occupies a high floor of the Arquitectonica-designed tower at 2655 South Bayshore Drive.
The combination gives the home something particularly valuable in Coconut Grove: space paired with extraordinary exposure to the water. Nearly 12-foot ceilings and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass frame approximately 180-degree views stretching across Biscayne Bay. From different vantage points, the panorama encompasses Peacock Park, Key Biscayne, Downtown Miami, and Miami Beach.
Expansive terraces extend the living spaces toward the bay, creating outdoor areas for entertaining, dining, or simply watching the changing light over the water.
A More Personal Side of Miami Design
Inside, the residence deliberately departs from the pale, minimalist aesthetic frequently associated with contemporary Miami condominiums.
Private elevator access opens to a foyer wrapped in custom Capiz shell, establishing a sense of craftsmanship from the moment of arrival. Color, texture, and custom finishes continue throughout the interiors, including distinctive wallpapers, Italian terrazzo, quartz, and European porcelain.
In the main living area, an oak-paneled media wall introduces warmth against the expansive glass and waterfront backdrop. The primary suite continues the use of wood with custom paneling and high-gloss built-in closets, creating a more tailored atmosphere than the standard developer finish.
The details are practical as well as decorative. Remote-controlled blinds and 3M UV film help manage the abundant South Florida sunlight, while extensive custom cabinetry makes use of the expanded floor plan.
One bedroom has been designed to serve double duty as a home office and guest room. A Murphy bed disappears into high-gloss lacquer cabinetry when not in use, allowing the room to function as a polished workspace without sacrificing the home’s six-bedroom capacity.
Life Along Biscayne Bay
The residence’s location adds another dimension to the property. Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove sits directly on South Bayshore Drive, placing the waterfront, marinas, parks, restaurants, and boutiques of Coconut Grove within easy reach. The yacht-inspired tower was designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Meyer Davis and brings the hospitality heritage associated with the Mr. C brand into a residential setting.
Residents have access to 24-hour concierge service along with butler and nautical concierge services. Amenities include multiple pool decks, a Bellini bar, spa, fitness and wellness spaces, and La Bottega café, which offers in-residence delivery. For boaters, Coconut Grove’s position on Biscayne Bay is particularly appealing. The neighborhood’s marinas provide direct access to open water without the bridge restrictions found in some other parts of Miami’s waterfront.
A Home Above the Grove
Combining neighboring condominium residences can sometimes result in a home that still feels like two separate units. Here, the appeal lies in creating a more cohesive residence, one with the scale of a substantial single-family home while retaining the services, security, and elevated views of a luxury tower. The terraces and nearly continuous walls of glass keep Biscayne Bay present throughout much of the interior, while the custom finishes give individual rooms their own identities.
It is a balance that suits Coconut Grove itself. One of Miami’s oldest neighborhoods has become home to a new generation of architecturally ambitious residential towers, yet its waterfront parks, mature landscape, marinas, and village atmosphere continue to distinguish it from the city’s denser urban neighborhoods.
At Residence 1801/1802, that combination plays out 18 floors above the bay: contemporary Miami waterfront living, but with considerably more color, craftsmanship, and personality.
