As part of the Faena District spanning along Collins Avenue from 32nd to 36th street, Faena Forum is now open along with Faena Bazaar and Faena Park. Faena House and Faena Hotel were completed last year. We last   looked at the Faena Forum in August to show a night perspective of the building.

Faena Forum is a 42,565 square foot building designed for the arts, which will include lectures, events and performances. The cylinder like building was designed by Rem Koolhaas of OMA, who also designed the under construction Park Grove in Coconut Grove.

Also open is Faena Bazaar, which will have retail space and Faena Park, a four story automated garage for 235 spaces.

The last building that needs to be completed in the Faena District is the Faena Versailles Classic, which has been put on hold and is now covered with a red draping.

Two Park Grove Is Going Vertical

Construction on Park Grove

Construction on Park Grove

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.
