“This corner was zoned for two homes. Sixteen rise here instead.”
On Plaza Street, one block west of US-1, two of Miami’s most storied neighborhoods lean into each other: the banyan-shaded bohemia of Coconut Grove and the Mediterranean order of Coral Gables. Roble One is built precisely on that seam — a low-rise of 16 residences positioned so that a resident can walk into either world before their coffee cools.
Among boutique condos for sale in Coconut Grove, Roble One is in a class of its own. It is fully approved for daily short-term rentals — an entitlement the Grove rarely grants — and it enters the market at a price point new construction here abandoned more than a decade ago. It is, in the most literal sense, an exception: to the zoning, to the pricing, and to the assumption that owning in the Grove means choosing between living in your home and earning from it.
Roble One — where Coconut Grove meets Coral Gables
A Zoning Exception, and the Developer Who Won It
The parcel at 3069 Plaza Street was entitled for two townhomes. SSA Group — the boutique Latin American developer founded by Maximo Sacchini, with more than 30 residential and commercial projects completed across three continents, including Altos de la Marina in Alicante, Hercesa Calanova in Málaga, and the Alejandro Ferrant 16 and Santa Lucía 17 buildings in Madrid — chose this site for its first United States development.
Then came the hard part: navigating a rezoning through both the city and the county to permit 16 condominium units with daily-rental rights, and in a neighborhood that has spent years resisting the short-term rental tide, that approval is the project’s founding act, not a footnote.
The execution team is deliberately local. Atelier305 — the Miami studio behind Merrick Towers, Coral Gate, and the Wave Pavilion in Miami Beach — handles architecture and interiors, with sustainability and the dialogue between building and surroundings as stated design drivers.
BEC Group Services is the builder. The project broke ground on June 5, 2025, the same week SSA closed a $7.87 million construction loan from Intercredit Bank — a small loan for Miami, but then this is deliberately a small building, and it is fully capitalized for delivery.
The Building & Architecture
Roble One is tropical modern at neighborhood scale: three residential floors wrapped in coral-toned stone and vertical wood screening, crowned by an activated rooftop and set behind palms rather than a porte-cochère.
Atelier305 drew a building that defers to the low-rise streets around it instead of towering over them — which, in a city of 60-story statements, is itself a statement.
Inside are four one-bedroom and twelve two-bedroom homes. Every residence carries floor-to-ceiling impact windows, 9.4-foot ceilings, a private balcony, an in-unit washer and dryer, and assigned covered parking.
Kitchens pair Calacatta Royal Grey quartz countertops and backsplashes with smooth white cabinetry and stainless appliances; bathrooms are finished in Andean porcelain tile across floors and shower walls. The quartz runs from the counter up the backsplash for a reason beyond the renderings: in homes of this footprint, unbroken surfaces are what make a compact plan read as generous.
Views from the balconies are of surrounding foliage and the rooftops of Coral Gables — green and low, not blue and distant.
Residences & Pricing
The unit mix is compact by design and shaped around two buyers at once: the owner who lives here, and the owner whose guests do. To buy a condo in Coconut Grove in new construction, below one million dollars, with the right to rent it by the night — that combination did not exist before this building. Pricing across the collection tops out around $1.2 million.
- Unit A / A-R: 1 Bed / 1 Bath | Interior: 575 sq. ft. | Price: on request
- Unit B / B-R: 2 Bed / 2 Bath | Interior: 788 sq. ft. + 128 sq. ft. balcony | Price from: $780,000
- Unit C / C-R: 2 Bed / 2 Bath | Interior: 978 sq. ft. + 114 sq. ft. balcony | Price: on request
- Unit D / D-REV: 2 Bed / 2 Bath | Interior: 986 sq. ft. + 118 sq. ft. balcony | Price: on request
Unit A (575 sq. ft.) is the efficient one-bedroom: a 12′6″ × 10′0″ living room, a proper dining nook, and a full bath — the plan most naturally suited to nightly-rental rotation.
Unit B (788 sq. ft.) splits its two suites to opposite ends of the floor plan, the primary with a walk-in closet, each bedroom with its own bath, and a 21′8″ balcony running the width of the home — a layout that sleeps four adults without anyone sharing a sink.
Unit C (978 sq. ft.) is the entertainer, with a 20′4″ × 10′6″ combined dining and living room, a separate 13-foot kitchen, and a true foyer entry. Unit D (986 sq. ft.), the largest plan, sets its 22′2″ glass living wall against a 22′4″ balcony and includes a walk-in closet in the primary suite.
Each plan is offered in mirrored orientation — the “-R” and “-REV” variants — so buyers can choose their exposure.
Amenities — Scaled to Sixteen
The amenity program is short, and honestly so:
- An activated rooftop with grilling stations
- A plunge pool with jets that runs heated or cooled by season
- A premium gym with trainer-on-demand interactive displays
- Bike racks at the sidewalk
- A ground-floor package room that accepts deliveries whether an owner is in residence or an Airbnb guest is
There is no spa floor here, no padel court — and there are no hundreds of neighbors. Sixteen owners sharing one rooftop means the grill is free on Saturday and the pool is quiet on Sunday. At this scale, the amenity is the ratio.
Location — The Seam Between Two Neighborhoods
Coconut Grove real estate trades on canopy and coastline; Roble One trades on connection.
- The Douglas Road Metrorail station sits one block away — Brickell’s office towers are about 15 minutes by car and a few stops by rail — and The Underline, the 10-mile linear park being built beneath the elevated track, runs directly across from the building.
- The Shops at Merrick Park, anchored by Nordstrom and Equinox, are 3 minutes away; CocoWalk and Coral Gables’ Miracle Mile are each about 5. Dinner Key Marina, the Grove’s gateway to Biscayne Bay, is a 7-minute drive — water access here is by marina, not from the window.
- Miami International Airport is roughly 8 miles north, a 20–25-minute drive off-peak and closer to 40 at rush hour.
- Dining within a few minutes spans Ariete on Fuller Street, Sadelle’s at the Mayfair House, Amal, and Maiz y Agave; for visiting family who outgrow the sofa bed, the Mr. C, Hotel Colonnade, and the Biltmore are all within an 8-minute radius.
What Plaza Street does not offer is the postcard. This is West Coconut Grove, on the working side of US-1 — no banyan tunnel at the front door, no bay view from any balcony, and a Metrorail line close enough to be convenient.
The Grove’s village center is a short drive, not a barefoot stroll. Buyers who want the storybook address should expect to pay roughly double elsewhere in the neighborhood; buyers who want to stand between two neighborhoods, next to the train that makes a second car optional, are the ones this building was drawn for.
A Saturday on the Seam
Saturday here starts on The Underline, before the heat does — cyclists heading north toward Brickell, dog walkers heading nowhere in particular, the elevated train sliding like a metronome nobody minds.
- By mid-morning, the Grove pulls you east: the Saturday farmer’s market on Grand Avenue, per long local habit, is less about groceries than about running into everyone you know, and the sidewalk tables at Greenstreet Café on Commodore Plaza fill with the same unhurried faces that have claimed them for years.
- Cross US-1 in the other direction, and the register changes entirely — Aragon Avenue in Coral Gables, where the courtyard café at Books & Books serves coffee under a canopy of vines, and the loudest sound is a page turning.
The honest part: the least charming ninety seconds of the whole day are crossing US-1 itself on foot — six lanes, and the pedestrian signal is not generous. That crossing is the toll between the two neighborhoods, and residents learn quickly which corners time it best.
- In summer, the afternoon builds to a 4 p.m. downpour almost on schedule; the move is to wait it out over lunch at Merrick Park and take the rooftop afterward, when the air is rinsed, and the Gables’ terracotta roofs steam faintly in the returning sun.
- Evening is a choice between registers: Ariete on Fuller Street, where chef Michael Beltran holds a Michelin star and the room is small enough that reservations are a discipline, or Sadelle’s at the Mayfair, all palms and brass, where dinner slides into people-watching without a seam in between.
Either way, the walk or ride home is minutes — which, on a Saturday night in Miami, is its own luxury.
Investment Perspective
The investment case rests on an entitlement, not an amenity list. According to Joanna Jimenez of The Opes Group at Compass, there is effectively no condo product in Coconut Grove below $1.5 million that permits daily rentals — and Roble One enters at nearly half that threshold. The approval came through a specific variance in a neighborhood whose zoning posture remains restrictive, which means the supply of comparable product is not merely limited; it is structurally difficult to replicate. For investors screening pre-construction condos in Miami, that is a rarer moat than a brand name.
The competitive set makes the gap concrete:
- Arbor Residences offers boutique scale at 45 units but with conventional rental restrictions.
- Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove brings a hospitality brand at a considerably higher entry price, without a daily rental program.
- The Well Coconut Grove is a $650 million wellness-branded project playing in a different price class altogether.
- None of the three combines sub-$1 million entry, new construction, and nightly rental rights: among boutique condos for sale in Coconut Grove, that combination is Roble One’s category, and it currently has no second member.
Current resale listings in the building average roughly $1,131 per square foot per MLS data as of mid-2026, and Walk Score rates the address 79 — “Very Walkable” — a metric that matters doubly for short-term rental condos in Miami, where guests without cars book the buildings they can walk to.
The usual caveat applies with unusual emphasis here: rental operations remain subject to the condominium documents and City of Miami short-term rental registration, so buyers with income intent should verify both before contract. Bogatov Realty can refer qualified Miami attorneys with pre-construction experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will Roble One be completed?
Construction began in mid-2025 and is underway, with delivery targeted for the end of this year — a short horizon by pre-construction standards, roughly eighteen months from shovel to keys. Confirm the current construction status with the sales team before the contract.
Can I really rent my residence on Airbnb by the night?
Yes — this is the building’s defining entitlement, secured through rezoning rather than a loophole. Owners may lease short- or long-term, year-round. Operating nightly rentals still requires compliance with city registration requirements and the condominium documents, so review both with counsel.
What is the difference between the B, C, and D floor plans?
Unit B is the split-suite plan — two bedrooms at opposite ends, ideal for co-hosting or guests. Unit C adds a separate kitchen and a foyer entry, giving it the most traditional room structure. Unit D is the largest, organized around the longest run of glass and balcony in the building. All three are two-bed, two-bath.
Who is behind the design?
Atelier305, the Miami studio, is credited with both architecture and interiors — there is no separate interior design firm publicly attached to the project. SSA Group develops; BEC Group Services builds.
Is parking included?
Each residence comes with assigned covered parking. Confirm the specific space assignment and any storage provisions in your purchase agreement.
Is Roble One a good investment?
The logic is threefold: an entitlement competitors in the neighborhood do not hold, an entry price below where Grove new construction otherwise begins, and a planned mix sized for both personal use and rental rotation. As with any pre-construction purchase, independent legal and financial due diligence is recommended.
How does Roble One compare with other new condos in Coconut Grove?
It is the only current option in the neighborhood pairing boutique new construction with nightly rental rights at this price point; the alternatives trade one of those three away. For a detailed side-by-side with Arbor, Mr. C Residences, and The Well, contact Bogatov Realty directly.
Roble One won’t be the tallest building in The Grove, nor the most prestigious, nor the one located on the waterfront. It is the building that the neighborhood has given the opportunity — for the first time — to function in both ways: to serve as a home when you want it to, and to generate income in a market where flexibility is the scarcest of all qualities.
“The Grove granted one exception. It comes with sixteen keys.”
