Ziggurat Coconut Grove: The Complete Buyer's Guide

Ziggurat is a 19-residence boutique condominium at 3101 Grand Avenue in Coconut Grove, designed by Oppenheim Architecture with interiors by Collarte and developed by the Allen Morris Company. Pricing starts at $3,750,000 for a 2 BR + Den residence. Anticipated delivery is 2027. This guide walks through what every prospective buyer should know — pricing, design, the team behind the building, and how to evaluate it against The Grove's existing inventory.

What is Ziggurat, in one paragraph?

Ziggurat is an intimate three-story residential building with 19 bespoke 2-to-5-bedroom homes, paired with a separate boutique five-story office building of about 100,000 square feet and a curated 40,000 SF retail paseo on the ground floor. Inspired by the stepped form of ancient ziggurats, the architecture cascades greenery at every level — oolite stone, natural woods, and tropical plantings define the envelope. It sits at the corner of Grand Avenue and Matilda Street, directly across from Kirk Munroe Park, in the heart of Coconut Grove.

Why does this project matter for Coconut Grove buyers?

Coconut Grove is not Brickell. The Grove has historically been one of Miami's most supply-constrained neighborhoods, with mature canopy, walkable streets, and a village character that limits new high-rise development. Ziggurat's 19-unit scale is unusual for any pre-construction product in Miami — most projects compete on towers of 50, 100, or 300 units. The result is a building you can know completely: every neighbor, every layout, every shared moment in the lobby. For buyers who specifically chose The Grove because they wanted The Grove, that intimate scale is the entire point.

How much does a residence at Ziggurat cost?

The current price sheet for outside brokers shows four available residences ranging from $3,750,000 to $5,350,000:

• GH-03 — 2 BR + Den, 2.5 BA · 1,770 SF + 450 SF terrace · $3,750,000
• GH-08 — 2 BR, 2 BA · 1,891 SF + 474 SF terrace · $4,100,000
• GH-04 — 2 BR + Den, 2.5 BA · 2,133 SF + 539 SF terrace · $4,650,000
• GH-07 — 2 BR + Den, 2.5 BA · 2,501 SF + 628 SF terrace · $5,350,000

Three-bedroom, four-bedroom, and five-bedroom residences exist within the 19-unit count, but pricing for those layouts and the penthouse collection is shared privately. WIRE Miami can submit a request for the full pricing sheet on your behalf.

Who designed Ziggurat?

The architect is Oppenheim Architecture, founded by Chad Oppenheim. The firm's portfolio includes The Standard Spa, the Bahá'í Temple of South America, GLF Lofts, and award-winning hospitality and residential commissions worldwide. Oppenheim's work is consistently described as biophilic and site-specific — meaning the building doesn't just sit on the land, it responds to it. At Ziggurat, the stepped silhouette and cascading planting are not decorative; they are structural to the architectural concept.

Interiors are by Collarte Interiors, a Miami studio led by Soledad Collarte that specializes in custom residential work. Collarte selects each finish at Ziggurat with the care typically reserved for single-client custom homes — Italian wood cabinetry, travertine stone, European oak flooring, Dornbracht fixtures.

Landscape architecture is by Andres Arcila with Naturalficial, a practice that treats planting as primary architecture. The cascading greenery defining Ziggurat's signature stepped silhouette is theirs.

The visionary and developer is the Allen Morris Company, a multi-generational South Florida firm led by W.A. Spencer Morris. Allen Morris has been developing in Coconut Grove for four decades, which matters: this is a hometown developer building in their own neighborhood.

"Ziggurat is more than a building, it's a living extension of the Grove's essence — a sanctuary that redefines contemporary living, dining and working spaces in Miami's most storied neighborhood." — W.A. Spencer Morris, Allen Morris Company

What does a typical residence include?

Every residence is designed around the same finish palette, with custom upgrades available. The standard package includes:

• Ceilings up to 11 feet
• Private elevator opening into a double-door foyer
• 12-foot deep terraces with full summer kitchen and chef-grade grill
• European oak floors throughout
• Travertine stone interior surfaces
• Chef's kitchen with custom Italian wood cabinetry, Italian stone countertops, full pantry, chef's island
• Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance package — 60" refrigerator, gas ranges, built-in wine refrigeration
• En-suite primary bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, dual-function showers, private water closet, Dornbracht fixtures
• Walk-in closets with custom wood cabinetry and shelving
• In-residence laundry rooms with full-size washer and dryer
• Fully integrated smart home — lighting, shades, climate

What amenities and services are included?

The amenity program is shaped around two ideas: a true rooftop, and a true village paseo. On the rooftop: a resort pool with hydrotherapy circuit, chef's grilling stations, private cabanas, and exclusive membership to a Michelin-starred restaurant operated on the property. At ground level: an open-air paseo with Michelin-starred cuisine, couture ateliers, an artisanal café, and an international gourmet market. There are also dedicated event rooms and a wellness destination with custom therapies.

Services include 24-hour valet, hospitality-trained concierge, mail and package delivery to each residence, dog walking and pet care, and dry cleaning. The building sits directly across from Kirk Munroe Park, which is in the middle of a $6.3M public renovation — effectively expanding your front yard.

How does the deposit schedule work?

The deposit structure follows a typical Miami pre-construction schedule: 20% at contract signing, 10% at groundbreaking, 10% at top-off, and 60% at closing. The schedule is favorable in that it spreads the down-payment across construction milestones rather than front-loading the entire 40-50% that some Miami towers demand at contract. Final terms are governed by the developer's purchase agreement and prospectus.

Why is the location important?

3101 Grand Avenue places Ziggurat at the geographic and pedestrian center of Coconut Grove — three minutes' walk to CocoWalk, seven minutes' walk to the Coconut Grove Marina, eight minutes' drive to Vizcaya, twelve minutes to Brickell, and eighteen minutes to Miami International Airport. The location is also at the corner of Matilda Street, directly across from Kirk Munroe Park. The park renovation is critical: it converts a longtime quiet civic green into an active, programmed park, which materially improves the value of every residence facing it.

What about the office and retail?

The five-story office building is a separate structure of approximately 100,000 SF with private terraces on every level, ceilings up to 13 feet, and select suites with views of Biscayne Bay. The office is leased through Cushman & Wakefield. Retail leasing — for the 40,000 SF paseo — runs through Vertical Real Estate. From a residential buyer's perspective, the office and retail components matter primarily because they bring foot traffic and daytime energy to the building, ensuring the paseo stays alive throughout the day rather than feeling like a private after-hours amenity.

How do I evaluate Ziggurat against other Coconut Grove options?

The most direct comparisons are Vita at Grove Isle, The Well Coconut Grove, Mr. C Residences, The Lincoln Coconut Grove, and Four Seasons Private Residences Coconut Grove. Each offers a different trade-off:

• Vita at Grove Isle — waterfront, larger scale, private island
• The Well Coconut Grove — wellness-branded, larger amenity program
• Mr. C Residences — boutique, marina-adjacent, hospitality-branded
• The Lincoln — historic conversion with new construction component
• Four Seasons — flagship branded residence with hotel-grade service

Ziggurat's distinct case is scale (19 units), design pedigree (Oppenheim), and central village location across from a renovated public park. WIRE Miami runs full comp packages for buyers weighing two or three of these against each other.

How does WIRE Miami help on a Ziggurat purchase?

WIRE Miami acts as a co-broker. The developer covers the commission, so working with us costs the buyer nothing. What we add: a second set of eyes on the contract, comparative pricing across all current Coconut Grove pre-construction, direct access to Adrian Sanchez's developer and design-team relationships, and a single point of contact for the entire pre-construction journey — from initial reservation through closing.

If you're seriously evaluating Ziggurat or any other Coconut Grove pre-construction, the most useful next step is a 20-minute call with Adrian. He'll send the current price sheet, walk through the timeline, and explain how to position yourself for the residences not on the public sheet. Reach him at 305-321-7655 or info@wiremiami.com.
