Glasshaus
Glasshaus in the Grove does exactly what the name promises. The five-story boutique at 3161 Center St is wrapped in glass from the lobby to the rooftop, a Bauhaus-inspired box set among the treetops of Center Grove. Completed around 2020, it holds only 23 residences, each with 11-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that pull the greenery inside. Glasshaus in the Grove condos for sale attract design-minded buyers who want something architecturally distinct, and the rental market is active for tenants who want the boutique lifestyle in the middle of the village.
Glasshaus in the Grove Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Glasshaus located?
The address is 3161 Center St in Center Coconut Grove, steps from the village shops and restaurants and a short walk to Biscayne Bay. CocoWalk, the bayfront parks and the marinas are all within easy reach on foot or by bike.
What is the design story behind Glasshaus in the Grove?
Glasshaus in the Grove follows Bauhaus principles: clean lines, honest materials and light as the main event. The all-glass facade was designed by Varabyeu Partners, the European architecture and interiors firm with offices in Miami and Europe, to sit quietly among the mature trees rather than compete with them.
How many residences are there?
Just 23, with about five per floor. One, two and three bedroom layouts run roughly 1,080 to 2,950 square feet. Interiors feature 11-foot finished ceilings, glass-rail balconies and terraces, Italkraft kitchen cabinetry with stone countertops and Duravit bathroom fixtures.
What amenities does the building have?
The rooftop is the showpiece: a resort-style pool with private cabanas, a summer kitchen, an alfresco dining area and a lounge with 360-degree views of the bay, the Grove and the downtown skyline. There is also a fitness center, a Zen garden, electric bicycles for owner use and secure underground parking with EV charging.
Is Glasshaus pet friendly?
Yes, the building welcomes pets. Between the Zen garden, the tree-lined streets of Center Grove and the nearby bayfront parks, it is an easy building for dog owners.
Can I rent at Glasshaus?
Yes. Rentals appear regularly, with recent listings from around $7,200 per month. The 24-hour attended lobby, controlled access and turnkey finishes make it one of the simpler boutique buildings in the Grove to lease.

The bet behind Glasshaus in the Grove was that the Grove's canopy is the view. Instead of chasing height, the architects kept the building low and transparent, so the mature trees read as part of the interiors. From the rooftop deck the payoff is the full panorama: Biscayne Bay one way, the downtown skyline the other, green everywhere in between. Owners also receive a complimentary one-year membership to the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, a fitting perk for a building aimed at people who live half their lives outdoors.
The design credit belongs to Varabyeu Partners, the award-winning European firm behind the building's minimalist lines and light-filled residences. In the village, Glasshaus pairs naturally with Grove Garden on Main Highway, the Zyscovich-designed boutique with the opposite aesthetic, and with Fairchild, the bayfront boutique for buyers who want the water at their door. For the classic loft alternative, Lofts at Mayfair sits nearby.
Center Grove on foot
The location is the other half of the pitch. CocoWalk is a genuine stroll for dinner, drinks and film, Greenstreet Cafe anchors the Main Highway sidewalk scene, and Le Bouchon du Grove covers the French bistro nights. Peacock Park adds the bayfront lawn for weekends. It is exactly the village-first lifestyle that draws buyers to Glasshaus in the Grove.
