Grove Towers
Some Grove buildings impress with height. Grove Towers impresses with shape. The curvilinear 18-story tower at 2843 S Bayshore Dr has watched over Sailboat Bay since 1982, and its curved glass lines still stand out on a street of rectangles. Inside are 99 classic residences across ten floor plans, most of them renovated for modern life. Grove Towers condos for sale appeal to buyers who want bayfront square footage without new-construction prices, and the rental market gives the building a steady mix of owners and long-term tenants. The location is the real amenity: the bay in front, the village behind.
Grove Towers Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is Grove Towers?
The address is 2843 S Bayshore Dr in the heart of Coconut Grove, facing Sailboat Bay. Regatta Park, the Bayshore Club and the marinas sit within easy walking distance, and the restaurants and shops of the village center are minutes away on foot.
How old is the building, and how has it held up?
It was built in 1982. Recent listings note the 40-year recertification is complete and the amenities have been renovated, including the fitness center, pool and tennis courts. With 99 residences, it is a mid-sized building by Grove standards, big enough for full services and small enough to know your neighbors.
What do the floor plans look like?
Ten different layouts run two and three bedrooms, roughly 1,200 to over 4,200 square feet for combined penthouse units. Expect floor-to-ceiling windows, large wrap-around balconies off the living areas and bedrooms, and direct views of the bay, the marina masts and the downtown skyline.
Which amenities come with the building?
Residents use a heated swimming pool and jacuzzi, a tennis and pickleball court, a basketball court, a renovated fitness center, a clubroom and an elegantly appointed lobby. Day-to-day services include concierge, valet and covered garage parking.
Is there an active rental market here?
Yes. Both resales and rentals trade regularly, which keeps pricing transparent for buyers comparing monthly costs against ownership. The building's full-service staffing and renovated amenities make it one of the easier classic towers in the Grove to lease.
What is the neighborhood like for daily life?
Genuinely walkable. CocoWalk's shops, cinema and restaurants are a short stroll, Greenstreet Cafe anchors the sidewalk scene on Main Highway, and the bayfront parks and marinas host sailing regattas through the winter season. Brickell is about ten minutes by car.

A classic tower on the Sailboat Bay waterfront
Grove Towers belongs to the generation of Grove condos built when bay frontage was the whole pitch, and the pitch still works. The curved facade was designed to pull the water into nearly every room, and from the upper floors the view runs from the sailboat moorings to the downtown skyline. Neighbors on this stretch include Grove Hill Tower just up the road, another 1990s boutique building with the same wraparound-terrace philosophy, and the estate-scale Grovenor House further north on Bayshore. Together they form the established core of the Grove's waterfront condo market.
For boaters, the setting is hard to beat. Dinner Key Marina, Florida's largest municipal marina, sits minutes away, and the Yacht Harbour community keeps the sailing culture visible from your balcony. On land, CocoWalk and Greenstreet Cafe cover the daily routine, while Peacock Park offers bayfront lawns for picnics and weekend sports.
Why buyers pick a 1982 building over new construction
New Grove towers trade at a premium for finishes. Grove Towers trades on proportion. The floor plans are larger than most new two bedrooms, the balconies are genuinely usable outdoor rooms, and the HOA has already worked through the big-ticket milestone of recertification. Monthly fees buy concierge, valet, a renovated gym and pool deck, and a tennis court steps from your door. For buyers comparing a new one bedroom against a classic two bedroom with a bay view, the math here usually wins.
