The Allen Morris Company has unveiled an eight-residence Penthouse Collection at Ponce Park in Coral Gables, releasing new renderings of the homes as three penthouses have already sold, according to the developer’s October 23 announcement. The collection was introduced to brokers at the project’s sales gallery on October 20.

The penthouses range from 2,241 to 7,644 square feet and are planned with private elevator access, 12-foot ceilings and 11-foot-deep terraces incorporating summer kitchens and outdoor bars. They form part of the 58-residence, 11-story condominium planned at 3000 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, at University Drive.

John Cunningham of Zyscovich Architects designed the building, with interiors by Meyer Davis. The newly supplied renderings focus on the penthouses’ great rooms and media lounges, showing the design direction for the residences rather than completed interiors.

Materials specified for the collection include Riva European white oak flooring, Roman and Silver travertine, and Calacatta Borghini marble. The development team traveled to Italy to select stone for the project, according to Allen Morris Company.

“With Ponce Park, we wanted to create a residential community that reflects the character of Coral Gables, from its architectural traditions to the way people gather and connect,” said W. Allen Morris, chairman and CEO of Allen Morris Company.

The planned kitchens combine custom Italian wood cabinetry with Calacatta Borghini marble countertops and waterfall islands. Specifications include a 60-inch La Cornue range and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Primary suites are planned with dressing rooms featuring suede-paneled millwork, while bathrooms will incorporate Italian travertine, soaking tubs and Dornbracht fixtures.

Buyers will also have the option to customize media lounges. The developer did not include penthouse pricing in the announcement; the project’s official website directs prospective buyers to its sales team for penthouse floor plans and pricing.

Allen Morris Company and ONE Sotheby’s International Realty hosted the October 20 preview, which included remarks by W. Allen Morris at the Ponce Park Sales Gallery. A private dinner followed at MIKA Coral Gables with Daniel de la Vega of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.

Planned building amenities include a rooftop pool, sky bar, café, spa, meditation courtyard, fitness studio and private rooftop lounge. The development is across from The Plaza Coral Gables and near Miracle Mile, with the penthouse release adding a new sales milestone to the broader residential project.

Development Spotlight: Ziggurat Coconut Grove

Developed by The Allen Morris Company in partnership with the Espinosa family, the highly curated mixed-use Ziggurat Coconut Grove brings together just 19 ultra-luxury residences, a five-story trophy office building, approximately 45,000 square feet of retail and dining, and landscaped pedestrian spaces within a low-rise environment designed specifically for Coconut Grove.

Coconut Grove has emerged as one of Miami’s most coveted luxury residential markets, driven by a combination that is increasingly difficult to replicate: lush tropical surroundings, waterfront access, walkability, top schools, established neighborhoods and proximity to Miami’s major business districts. The Grove’s village-like character and limited supply have helped distinguish it from Miami’s more densely developed urban neighborhoods, while a new generation of luxury residential projects, restaurants, offices and retail has continued to elevate the area without sacrificing the qualities that make it unique.

Ziggurat Coconut Grove represents a natural extension of that evolution. Developed by The Allen Morris Company in partnership with the Espinosa family, the highly curated mixed-use project brings together just 19 ultra-luxury residences, a five-story trophy office building, approximately 45,000 square feet of retail and dining, and landscaped pedestrian spaces within a low-rise environment designed specifically for Coconut Grove. Rather than attempting to redefine the neighborhood, Ziggurat embraces its scale, greenery and indoor-outdoor lifestyle, creating a project that feels distinctly rooted in the Grove.

Designed by Oppenheim Architecture, with residential interiors by Collarte Interiors, Ziggurat will further enhance its surrounding neighborhood through open-air paseos, restaurants, boutiques, wellness offerings and a central landscaped courtyard. Directly across from the development, Kirk Munroe Park is slated for an approximately $8 million renovation through a partnership between The Allen Morris Company and the City of Miami, extending the project’s impact beyond its property lines and into the surrounding community.

With demolition now complete and the development advancing toward site work and vertical construction, Ziggurat is positioned to become one of the defining additions to Coconut Grove’s next chapter. Completion is anticipated in early 2028.

Project Overview

Located at 3101 Grand Avenue, Ziggurat Coconut Grove is a highly curated mixed-use development designed around the scale, walkability and character of its surrounding neighborhood.

The development will comprise two architecturally distinct buildings: a five-story, approximately 100,000-square-foot trophy office building and an intimate three-story residential building featuring 19 ultra-luxury condominium residences. Approximately 45,000 square feet of ground-floor retail will further activate the development with dining, boutiques, wellness concepts and gathering spaces organized around open-air pedestrian paseos and a central landscaped courtyard.

Demolition at the site has been completed, clearing the way for site work and vertical construction. The project is supported by a $138.5 million construction loan from BDT & MSD Partners and BHI, with completion anticipated in early 2028.

Why It Matters

Coconut Grove’s continued evolution has increasingly centered around projects that balance new development with the neighborhood’s established identity. Rather than introducing another conventional high-rise, Ziggurat embraces a low-rise approach that integrates residential, office, retail, dining and public space within a highly landscaped setting.

The project also introduces a significant new trophy office component to Coconut Grove, complementing its limited collection of luxury residences and curated retail environment. Together, the uses are designed to create an active mixed-use destination that strengthens the connection between Grand Avenue, Commodore Plaza and the surrounding Grove community.

Directly across from the development, Kirk Munroe Park is slated for an approximately $8 million renovation through a partnership between The Allen Morris Company and the City of Miami, further enhancing the public realm surrounding the project.

Architecture & Design

Designed by Oppenheim Architecture, Ziggurat takes its architectural identity from Coconut Grove’s tropical landscape and distinctive sense of place. Natural stone, cascading greenery, deep terraces and landscaped open spaces are incorporated throughout the development, creating architecture intended to feel integrated into the Grove rather than separated from it.

The project’s low-rise massing is organized around landscaped courtyards and open-air pedestrian paseos connecting its residential, office and retail components. Landscape architecture by Andres Arcila with Naturalficial further integrates vegetation into the architecture, while the residences feature interiors by Collarte Interiors.

The result is a contemporary interpretation of Coconut Grove living centered around natural materials, indoor-outdoor spaces and the neighborhood’s established pedestrian scale.

Residences

Ziggurat’s residential component introduces an exceptionally limited collection of 19 ultra-luxury condominium residences, designed to provide the privacy and scale of a private home within the center of Coconut Grove. Pricing starts at $3.5 million.

Residence features include:

  • Two- to five-bedroom residences

  • Residences ranging from approximately 1,254 to more than 5,000 square feet

  • Ceiling heights up to 11 feet

  • Private elevators and foyers with double-door entries

  • Expansive terraces measuring approximately 12 feet deep

  • Full summer kitchens on terraces

  • European oak flooring and travertine stone

  • Spacious walk-in closets with customizable wood cabinetry and shelving

  • Chef’s kitchens with custom Italian cabinetry

  • Full pantries and oversized chef’s islands

  • Italian stone countertops

  • Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances

  • 60-inch refrigerators and gas ranges

  • Built-in wine refrigeration

  • In-residence laundry rooms

  • Primary bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and dual-function showers

  • Dornbracht bathroom fixtures

  • Fully integrated smart-home technology

Office & Retail

Ziggurat’s commercial component will introduce approximately 100,000 square feet of trophy office space within a boutique five-story office building, offering companies a differentiated workplace environment in the heart of Coconut Grove.

The office building will be complemented by approximately 45,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, dining and wellness offerings integrated throughout landscaped open-air paseos and a central courtyard. Plans call for a mix of bistros, boutiques and wellness concepts designed to create activity throughout the development and reinforce the pedestrian-oriented character of the surrounding neighborhood.

At the top of the office building, a rooftop restaurant and lounge by a local Michelin-starred chef is planned to offer views toward Biscayne Bay.

Office leasing is being led by Ryan Holtzman, Andrew Trench and Brian Gale of Cushman & Wakefield, alongside Thad Adams of The Allen Morris Company. Daniel Cardenas and Michael Sullivan of Vertical Real Estate are leading retail leasing.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Ziggurat’s residential experience extends beyond the individual homes through a collection of hospitality, wellness and entertainment amenities designed around private-club-style living.

Amenities and services include:

  • Expansive rooftop amenity deck

  • Resort-style swimming pool

  • Hydrotherapy circuit

  • Private cabanas and lounge areas

  • Chef’s grilling station

  • Exclusive rooftop restaurant membership

  • State-of-the-art wellness concept

  • Custom-designed spaces for private events

  • 24-hour valet

  • Hospitality-trained concierge

  • Mail and package delivery directly to residences

  • Dog walking and pet-care services

  • Dry-cleaning services

  • Immediate access to the development’s dining, retail and wellness offerings

Location

Located at 3101 Grand Avenue, Ziggurat sits in the heart of Coconut Grove, placing residents and office users within walking distance of the neighborhood’s restaurants, shops, parks and waterfront destinations.

The development is positioned directly across from Kirk Munroe Park and near Coconut Grove’s established commercial core along Grand Avenue and Commodore Plaza. Coral Gables, Brickell, Downtown Miami, Key Biscayne and Miami International Airport are all within convenient reach, while the project’s location allows residents to experience the walkability and village-like atmosphere that distinguishes Coconut Grove from many of Miami’s other luxury residential markets.

The planned approximately $8 million renovation of Kirk Munroe Park will further enhance the immediate neighborhood, creating an improved public green space directly across from Ziggurat.

Development Team

Ziggurat Coconut Grove is being developed by The Allen Morris Company in partnership with the Espinosa family, bringing together a multidisciplinary team focused on architecture, landscape, residential design and placemaking.

Oppenheim Architecture is leading the project’s architecture, with residential interiors by Collarte Interiors and landscape architecture by Andres Arcila with Naturalficial.

Residential sales are exclusively represented by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. Office leasing is being handled by Cushman & Wakefield alongside The Allen Morris Company, while Vertical Real Estate is leading retail leasing.

Sales Information

The residential component of Ziggurat Coconut Grove is nearly sold out, underscoring demand for the project’s limited collection of just 19 homes.

Residences range from approximately 1,254 to more than 5,000 square feet, with pricing ranging from approximately $3.5 million to $15 million. Residential sales are exclusively represented by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.

With demolition complete, the development is advancing toward site work and vertical construction. Completion is anticipated in early 2028.

The Allen Morris Co. has unveiled the amenity collection for Ponce Park, offering a first look at the wellness, hospitality and social spaces that will define everyday life within one of Coral Gables' most anticipated mixed-use developments. Designed by Meyer Davis, the newly released spaces build upon the residences’ recently unveiled interiors, extending the same design philosophy throughout the building.

Reflecting Meyer Davis’ warm interpretation of Mediterranean modernism, the amenity collection carries the residences’ emphasis on craftsmanship, materiality and architectural intention into each shared space. Balancing stone, wood, plaster and natural light, the spaces are defined by warmth, texture and permanence while reinforcing a cohesive design language throughout the building.

“From the beginning, Ponce Park was envisioned as a complete living environment, where the resident experience extends well beyond the units.," said W. A. Spencer Morris, President of The Allen Morris Co. " We approached the shared spaces with the same level of care, craftsmanship and intention as the homes themselves, creating a collection that feels enduring, highly considered and genuinely connected to daily life.”

Anchoring the wellness program is a dedicated spa featuring a reception lounge, private treatment rooms, dedicated sauna and steam rooms, and a yoga and Pilates studio. Composed with a restrained palette of natural stone, wood and plaster, the wellness spaces emphasize openness, clarity and functional design

The collection also includes landscaped gardens, intimate lounge areas, a fire pit, and a private conference room. At street level, Quintín will introduce indoor-outdoor dining along Ponce de Leon Boulevard, further activating the project’s ground-floor retail experience. Crowning the building, a rooftop pool and residents’ lounge will offer expansive views across Coral Gables within a setting conceived for relaxation, gathering and entertaining.

“Our vision for Ponce Park was rooted in a warm, contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean living,” said Will Meyer. “Natural materials, sculptural forms and filtered light create continuity throughout the building, while each environment maintains its own character and rhythm. The result is a collection that feels refined, comfortable, and deeply connected to Coral Gables.

Through its integration of wellness, hospitality and community, Ponce Park continues to redefine luxury residential living in Coral Gables, placing equal emphasis on the experience of the building as it does the residences themselves.

Located at 3000 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Ponce Park is an 11-story mixed-use development introducing 58 boutique residences and 22,000 square feet of curated retail. Designed by John Cunningham of Zyscovich Architects with interiors and amenities by Meyer Davis, the project is currently under construction with completion anticipated in early 2028.

Sales are exclusively handled by ONE Sotheby's International Realty, with residences starting at $3.1 million.

Development Spotlight: Ponce Park Coral Gables

Few locations in South Florida offer the combination of architectural heritage, walkability, and enduring value found in the heart of Coral Gables. Rising directly across from Ponce Circle Park, Ponce Park represents one of the city's most significant new mixed-use developments, combining luxury residences, destination retail, and public realm improvements within one thoughtfully designed address.

Few locations in South Florida offer the combination of architectural heritage, walkability, and enduring value found in the heart of Coral Gables. Rising directly across from Ponce Circle Park, Ponce Park represents one of the city's most significant new mixed-use developments, combining luxury residences, destination retail, and public realm improvements within one thoughtfully designed address.

Developed by The Allen Morris Company, the project has been envisioned as a long-term addition to Downtown Coral Gables—one that respects the city's architectural character while introducing a contemporary level of luxury and mixed-use activation.

Project Overview

Ponce Park is an 11-story mixed-use development located at the intersection of Ponce de Leon Boulevard and University Drive in Downtown Coral Gables. The project brings together a boutique collection of luxury residences above premium retail space, creating a walkable destination designed to complement the surrounding neighborhood.

Beyond the building itself, the development includes significant enhancements to the adjacent Ponce Circle Park, reinforcing the connection between architecture, public space, and the pedestrian experience that defines Coral Gables.

Why It Matters

Ponce Park represents the continued evolution of Downtown Coral Gables into one of South Florida's premier mixed-use urban neighborhoods.

Unlike many large-scale luxury towers throughout the region, the project embraces a boutique scale while emphasizing timeless architecture, curated retail, and public gathering spaces. The development also demonstrates the continued strength of the Coral Gables luxury residential market, where limited new inventory and enduring demand continue to support premium pricing. When delivered Ponce Park Coral Gables will be the highest end condominium in Downtown Coral Gables.

Its combination of residential, office, retail, and public improvements reflects a growing trend toward mixed-use environments designed for both residents and the surrounding community.

Architecture & Design

Designed by John Cunningham of Zyscovich Architects, Ponce Park draws inspiration from the historic Mediterranean Revival architecture that has defined Coral Gables for more than a century.

The building incorporates handcrafted materials, natural stone, arched openings, landscaped terraces, and architectural detailing intended to create a timeless rather than trend-driven design. The development team recently traveled to Italy to personally select the stone that will define the project, establishing a direct connection between Ponce Park and the historic quarries from which its materials originate.

Interior design is led by Meyer Davis, whose hospitality-inspired approach emphasizes warm materials, refined finishes, and understated luxury throughout the residences and shared amenity spaces.

Residences

Ponce Park will include just 58 luxury residences, creating an intentionally boutique residential experience. Residences are priced from $3.1 million.

Homes range from approximately 1,900 to more than 6,500 square feet, with expansive floorplans featuring two- to five-bedroom layouts, generous outdoor terraces, private elevator access, and elevated finishes throughout.

Amenities

Residents will have access to a collection of private amenities designed to emphasize wellness, hospitality, and outdoor living.

Highlights include:

  • Resort-style rooftop pool

  • Fitness and wellness facilities

  • Private owners' lounge

  • Hospitality-inspired gathering spaces

  • Landscaped outdoor terraces

  • Concierge services

  • Secure parking

  • Dedicated resident amenities designed for boutique living

Additionally, acclaimed Madrid dining institution Quintín Ultramarinos will open at the project in 2028.

Location

Situated directly across from Ponce Circle Park, Ponce Park occupies one of the most desirable locations within Downtown Coral Gables.

Residents will enjoy immediate walkable access to Miracle Mile, Giralda Plaza, premier restaurants, boutique shopping, cafés, hotels, cultural destinations, and numerous professional offices, while maintaining convenient connectivity throughout Miami via nearby major roadways.

The location combines the charm of one of South Florida's most established neighborhoods with the convenience of a vibrant urban center.

Team

Ponce Park is being developed by The Allen Morris Company, one of the Southeast's longest-established real estate development firms, with a history spanning more than six decades.

The Allen Morris Company has developed and invested across office, multifamily, hospitality, mixed-use, and residential sectors throughout Florida and the Southeast, with an emphasis on placemaking and long-term value creation. Ponce Park continues the firm's commitment to creating architecturally significant developments that become lasting components of their surrounding communities. The Allen Morris Company is led by Spencer and Allen Morris.

The architecture is led by John Cunningham of Zyscovich Architects, whose design draws inspiration from the timeless Mediterranean Revival character that defines Coral Gables. Interior design is by Meyer Davis, bringing a refined, hospitality-driven approach to the residences and amenity spaces, while landscape architecture is by Naturalficial, creating lush outdoor environments that complement both the building and its connection to Ponce Circle Park. Sales are exclusively represented by ONE Sotheby's International Realty Development Division (ONE | SIR Development Sales).

From Tivoli to the Apuan Alps, Allen Morris Company Defines a New Standard in Design Provenance at Ponce Park Coral Gables

The Allen Morris Company, has unveiled the interior design program for Ponce Park, advancing a design approach rooted in material provenance, craftsmanship, and architectural intention. Rather than sourcing finishes through traditional catalogs, the development team traveled to Italy to personally select the stone that will define the project, establishing a direct connection between Ponce Park and the historic quarries from which its materials originate.

The Allen Morris Company, has unveiled the interior design program for Ponce Park, advancing a design approach rooted in material provenance, craftsmanship, and architectural intention. Rather than sourcing finishes through traditional catalogs, the development team traveled to Italy to personally select the stone that will define the project, establishing a direct connection between Ponce Park and the historic quarries from which its materials originate.

Spanning Tivoli and the Apuan Alps, the journey reflects a focus on origin and authenticity, with each material chosen at its source. This process reinforces a design language shaped not only by aesthetics, but by lineage, craft, and permanence.

“Going to the quarries fundamentally changes the way you design,” said W. A. Spencer Morris, President of The Allen Morris Co. “You’re not selecting from samples, you’re understanding the material in its original context, its history, its variation. That level of engagement allows us to be incredibly precise in how Ponce Park comes together. Every stone we chose has a purpose.”

In Tivoli, just outside Rome, the team sourced travertine from a quarry with more than 2,000 years of history, the same source used in the construction of the Colosseum. This stone will cover the exterior base of Ponce Park and appear throughout key architectural moments, introducing warmth, texture, and permanence to the building’s foundation.

In the Apuan Alps, the team selected Calacatta Borghini marble, one of the rarest stones in the world, for the kitchen countertops within the residences. Defined by its luminous white background and bold veining, each slab was hand-selected directly from the quarry, reinforcing the uniqueness of every residence. The same mountain range has supplied marble for works by Michelangelo, reflecting a continuous lineage of craftsmanship that informs architecture today.

Together, these materials establish the foundation of Ponce Park’s design identity, where origin and execution remain inseparable.

The interiors, designed by Meyer Davis, extend this material-driven approach through a warm interpretation of Mediterranean modernism. The vision prioritizes continuity across spaces, balancing stone, wood, bronze, plaster, and natural textiles to create a cohesive residential atmosphere.

The lobby introduces a residential-scale environment anchored by custom seating, travertine and oak detailing, and sculptural lighting in bronze and Murano glass. Layered textiles and soft neutral tones create warmth, while filtered natural light shapes the experience.

Wellness spaces emphasize calm and restraint, with spa, sauna, and hammam areas defined by natural stone, oak, plaster, and soft ambient lighting. The fitness areas focus on openness and clarity, combining refined materials with functional design.

At the rooftop, the project transitions into an indoor-outdoor living environment, where teak, travertine, rope, and soft upholstery define lounge and dining spaces, creating a layered social landscape above Coral Gables.

“Ponce Park was designed to feel deeply connected to Coral Gables, not just in architecture, but in how it lives and feels,” added W. A. Spencer Morris. “The interiors bring a level of detail and warmth that make every space feel residential and lasting.”

According to Meyer Davis, the intent was to create continuity across all amenity levels while allowing each space to retain its own identity. “We approached Ponce Park as a sequence of lived-in moments,” the studio noted. “Every finish, material, and piece of furniture was selected to create comfort and texture throughout the building.”

Through this focus on material provenance and restraint in execution, Ponce Park positions itself within Coral Gables as a project defined by discipline rather than scale.

Located at 3000 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Ponce Park is an 11-story mixed-use development introducing 58 residences and 25,000 square feet of curated retail. Designed by Zyscovich Architects with interiors by Meyer Davis, the project is currently under construction with completion anticipated in late 2027.

Sales are exclusively handled by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, with residences starting at $3.1 million.

Iconic Madrid Restaurant Quintín Ultramarinos Coming to Ponce Park in Coral Gables

Allen Morris Co, developer of the Mediterranean-inspired luxury condominium Ponce Park in Coral Gables, has revealed that acclaimed Madrid dining institution Quintín Ultramarinos will open at the project in 2028. The highly anticipated restaurant will anchor the curated retail experience at Ponce Park, reinforcing the development’s vision of blending international lifestyle, design, and hospitality within one of South Florida’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

Allen Morris Co, developer of the Mediterranean-inspired luxury condominium Ponce Park in Coral Gables, has revealed that acclaimed Madrid dining institution Quintín Ultramarinos will open at the project in 2028. The highly anticipated restaurant will anchor the curated retail experience at Ponce Park, reinforcing the development’s vision of blending international lifestyle, design, and hospitality within one of South Florida’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

Quintín Ultramarinos, beloved in Madrid for its fusion of historic Spanish culinary tradition with contemporary dining flair, represents the second U.S. venture from Grupo Paraguas following the Miami debut of Amazónico in September 2025. Its arrival at Ponce Park further underscores Miami’s growing role as a gateway city for world-class hospitality brands while reflecting the Mediterranean character that defines the development itself.

Located in the heart of Coral Gables, the restaurant will showcase Quintín’s celebrated all-day dining format, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner alongside a carefully curated wine list highlighting both Spanish and international selections. The design will echo the warmth and sophistication of its Madrid flagship while embracing Miami’s tropical energy, featuring inviting materials, counter seating for casual dining, and expansive windows connecting the restaurant to the lively pedestrian streetscape.

Founded in 2015 in Madrid’s prestigious Barrio de Salamanca, Quintín began as a traditional Spanish gourmet market before evolving into one of the city’s most cherished dining destinations, known for seasonal ingredients, refined yet approachable cuisine, and a convivial atmosphere. The Miami location will bring that same Mediterranean spirit, hospitality, and culinary authenticity to South Florida.

Ponce Park is an 11-story Mediterranean-inspired luxury condominium featuring 58 bespoke residences and approximately 25,000 square feet of curated ground-floor retail. Designed by architect John Cunningham with interiors by Meyer Davis, the project blends classic Mediterranean architectural character with contemporary luxury living. Residences offer expansive layouts, private elevators, Italian-crafted kitchens, generous terraces with summer kitchens, and refined European-inspired finishes throughout.

Completion is anticipated in early 2028. Residences are exclusively represented by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, with pricing starting at approximately $3.1 million.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Quintín to Ponce Park,” said Spencer Morris, President of The Allen Morris Co. “Their Mediterranean heritage, attention to detail, and vibrant hospitality align perfectly with the lifestyle vision behind this project. Bringing such a respected international concept to Coral Gables elevates the experience not only for our residents but for the broader community.”

"For Quintín, Coral Gables felt like a natural fit,” say Sandro Silva and Marta Seco. “With its Mediterranean Revival architecture, thoughtfully planned community and old-world charm, the neighbourhood embodies a sense of heritage, craftsmanship and warmth that naturally complements our vision.”

Together, Grupo Paraguas and D.ream International — the global hospitality group behind internationally acclaimed venues such as, Amazonico, COYA, and Zuma — are set to launch Quintín at Ponce Park in Coral Gables in 2028.

Vertical Real Estate is the exclusive retail leasing broker for Ponce Park, led by Daniel Cardenas and Michael Sullivan.

Located at 3101 Grand Ave., Ziggurat is a bespoke sanctuary for the community to live, work and gather, introducing world-class office, residential and retail offerings while honoring the neighborhood’s character, walkability and natural beauty.

The milestone was celebrated with a lively block party at the Ziggurat Sales Gallery, where project partners, top brokers and community members gathered for an evening that reflected the spirit of the neighborhood. Guests enjoyed live music alongside curated wine offerings, Italian specialties by Stanzione, charcuterie by Chèvre and jamón ibérico by Cinco Jotas.

Developed in partnership with the Espinosa family, Ziggurat is supported by a $138.5 million construction loan from BDT & MSD Partners and BHI. Completion is anticipated in early 2028.

W.A. Spencer Morris, President of The Allen Morris Co., Daniel de la Vega, President of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, and Ziggurat sales team Justin Neyra and Sean Presti addressed attendees, highlighting the long-term vision, collaboration and commitment behind the project, which is already 65% sold.

“Breaking ground at Ziggurat marks an important moment not just for our company, but for Coconut Grove,” said W.A. Spencer Morris. “This project reflects a long-term vision to deliver a thoughtfully designed, mixed-use destination that enhances the neighborhood while setting a new standard for quality and integration.”

Ziggurat will comprise two architecturally distinct buildings: a five-story, 100,000-square-foot trophy office tower and a three-story residential building featuring 18 ultra-luxury condominium residences above approximately 45,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.

Designed by Oppenheim Architecture with interiors by Collarte Interiors, the development blends natural stone, lush landscaping and modern architecture to create an open, pedestrian-oriented environment. Open-air paseos will lead to a central courtyard activated by bistros, boutiques and wellness offerings, while the office tower’s rooftop will feature a restaurant and lounge by a local Michelin-starred chef with views of Biscayne Bay.

“Ziggurat stands apart in the market for its emphasis on experience and authenticity,” said Daniel de la Vega. “From the residences to its one-of-a-kind sales gallery, the project reflects the character of Coconut Grove while delivering the design and placemaking today’s buyers seek.”

The residential component, exclusively represented by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, will offer residences ranging from approximately 1,254 to over 5,000 square feet, priced from $3.5 million to $15 million. Homes will overlook the soon-to-be revitalized Kirk Munroe Park, which is slated for an $8 million renovation through a partnership between The Allen Morris Co. and the City of Miami.

Allen Morris Co., one of the leading real estate firms in the Southeast U.S., is proud to announce the opening of its Ziggurat Sales Center in Coconut Grove. The pioneering space reflects the character of Coconut Grove, blending Ziggurat’s design vision with a multi-sensory guest experience supported by Chèvre, an affiliate of Think Hospitality.

The debut introduces a first-of-its-kind sales center where visitors can get an inside look at Ziggurat while enjoying a curated experience in collaboration with Chèvre, Miami’s acclaimed artisan café and wine concept – and an integral part of the vision for the whole of Ziggurat.

Located at 3065 Fuller Street, the Ziggurat Sales Center invites visitors to experience the development with all five senses.

Ziggurat’s thoughtfully designed interiors, a full model kitchen and curated material finishes throughout the space allow guests to see and feel the spirit of Coconut Grove that will define Ziggurat’s architecture and lifestyle. Concurrently, Chèvre will be offering a selection of breakfast items and specialty coffees, its signature gourmet sandwiches, refined cheeses, and thoughtfully curated wines.

“Sales centers are traditionally straightforward presentation spaces, but we wanted ours to embody the character of Coconut Grove and the vision behind Ziggurat,” said Spencer Morris, President of The Allen Morris Company. “The result is an environment that feels authentic to the neighborhood and enables visitors to understand the project’s connection to the Grove’s history, natural landscape, and energy.

Designed by Oppenheim Architecture, Ziggurat will deliver a five-story, 100,000-square-foot trophy office building, a three-story condominium featuring 18 ultra-luxury residences and approximately 45,000 square feet of retail space. The mixed-used development is positioned as a new community hub, defined by lush paseos that lead to a central courtyard, a rooftop restaurant overlooking Biscayne Bay and interiors curated by Collarte Interiors. Landscape design by Andres Arcila of Naturalficial will further advance the integration of natural materiality and architecture.

“We are thrilled to bring Chèvre’s offerings to the Ziggurat Sales Center and be part of such a unique, immersive experience,” said Mario Naar, CEO of Chèvre Miami. “This collaboration goes beyond food and drinks, allowing visitors to engage all their sense while exploring Ziggurat and giving them a real feel of the lifestyle, design and energy that define the Grove.”

The residential component, exclusively represented by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, will offer homes ranging from approximately 1,250 to more than 5,000 square feet, with prices ranging from $3.4 million to $15 million. Office leasing is led by Cushman and Wakefield and retail leasing is led by Vertical International Real Estate.

With the opening of the Ziggurat Sales Center and its partnership with Chèvre, Allen Morris Co. continues to set a new precedent for how real estate developments can engage the community, creating spaces that blend lifestyle, culture and vision and reinforce a deep commitment to placemaking.

The Ziggurat Sales Center will be open seven days a week, with hours from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 8:00 p.m Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.
