Arbor holds much anticipated groundbreaking

Last week, developers Urban Atlantic Group and Oak Ventures hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for Arbor, a 52-residence boutique condominium in the heart of Coconut Grove. Nearly 100 guests turned-out to celebrate the milestone, commemorating the start of construction for Arbor located at 3034 Oak Avenue. Inspired by eco-living and the tree-shaded canopy of the historic surrounding neighborhood, the centrally-located, five-story building features designs by Miami-based Behar Font Architects and interiors by New York-based Samuel Amoia.

“The vision behind Arbor has always been to create a special home-site for those residents who appreciate the essence of the Grove lifestyle, mindful design, and the ease of living in a building where faces look familiar,” said lead developer Nick Hamann, a Coconut Grove resident and Principal with Urban Atlantic Group. “The building’s central location provides a place where people can comfortably live, work and play.”

“From the onset, we felt it was important to develop a building that would not only fit within the surrounding neighborhood -- incorporating many of the Grove’s most distinctive elements – but one that would serve the community for generations to come.” said Jeremy Waks, Principal of Oak Ventures. “We’ve carefully selected materials that not only feel rich and natural, but are also eco-friendly and durable.”
