After starting construction a year ago, Two Park Grove is starting to go vertical in Coconut Grove.

In May of this year, the foundation pour took place where 860 tons of steel and 2,600 cubic yards of concrete was poured at Two Park Grove. The foundation pour will support the tower columns of Two Park Grove.

Park Grove is being developed by Terra Group and The Related Group. The project was designed by OMA and is their first residential project in the United States. OMA sourced inspiration from Florida’s barrier islands ideally stacked one on top to resemble the vertical shape of Coconut Palm Trees to create this striking façade. The project’s exterior allows daylight into the units while benefitting from Coconut Grove’s lush greenery and cool breezes from Biscayne Bay.
