Fairchild
The Fairchild Coconut Grove is named for the man who taught Miami to love its trees, and the building takes the tribute seriously. At 3581 E Glencoe St on the bayfront, the five-story boutique holds just 26 residences wrapped in native landscaping inspired by the botanist's own garden, The Kampong. Completed in 2020, it pairs a decidedly Grove exterior of oolite limestone, wood and white stucco with interiors by AD 100 designer Rafael de Cárdenas. Fairchild condos for sale sit at the top of the boutique market, and the one-annual-rental policy keeps the tenant pool small and long-term.

Fairchild Frequently Asked Questions
Where is The Fairchild?
The address is 3581 E Glencoe St in the exclusive Glencoe neighborhood of Coconut Grove, directly on Biscayne Bay. Village restaurants, galleries, marinas and CocoWalk are minutes away, with downtown Miami, Brickell and Coral Gables all a short drive.
What is the story behind the name?
For the pioneering botanist whose private garden, The Kampong, still grows on Douglas Road in the Grove. The building's landscape draws directly from his plantings, with native Florida foliage and trees that echo the historic estate. The Kampong is open for tours through the National Tropical Botanical Garden.
Who designed the building?
Coconut Grove architect Max Strang of Strang Architecture designed the building, giving it the site-sensitive modernism his firm is known for. Interiors are by Rafael de Cárdenas, an Architectural Digest AD 100 designer, with Poliform cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and quartz countertops.
What are the residences like?
Twenty-six bespoke residences run two to four bedrooms and 1,714 to 4,114 square feet. Expect 11-foot ceilings, 13 in the penthouses, dedicated elevator lobbies, natural stone floors, spa baths with soaking tubs and private outdoor living areas with bay views. Select homes add service quarters and private outdoor showers, and the building offers private boat slips.
Which amenities come with the building?
A rooftop pool deck with private cabanas and sun deck, a sunset rooftop deck with an outdoor living room and serenity garden, a holistic wellness spa with hammam, steam room and sauna, a bayside fire lounge, a state-of-the-art gym and 24-hour security with valet parking.
What is the rental policy?
The building allows one rental per year, which keeps turnover low and the community genuinely residential. Pets are permitted. For buyers, the policy protects long-term value; for tenants, it means the few available leases go to people planning to stay awhile.

Max Strang's bayfront tribute to the Grove
Max Strang is a Grove architect in the truest sense: he lives and works in the neighborhood, and his buildings read like love letters to its landscape. At Fairchild he wrapped 26 residences in oolite limestone and native wood, then let the grounds do the talking with plantings drawn from the botanist's own palette. The Strang Architecture touch shows in the details: deep terraces, glass-panel balconies and floor-to-ceiling impact glass that keep the bay present in every room. To understand the namesake, visit The Kampong, the historic garden on Douglas Road, where the building's landscape story begins.
The bayfront boutique set is small, and Fairchild belongs at its center. Design-minded buyers also tour Glasshaus in the Grove, the all-glass Bauhaus boutique in Center Grove, and Grove Garden on Main Highway for the Key West style alternative. For the grand-hotel version of Grove luxury, the Ritz Carlton Coconut Grove sits a short drive away.
Boat slips and the bay at your door
Few new Grove buildings offer private boat slips, and that single amenity defines the Fairchild buyer. Days end at the bayside fire lounge or the sunset deck; weekends start at Dinner Key Marina or with lunch at Monty's Raw Bar on Bayshore. CocoWalk covers the village nights out. It is waterfront living with the volume turned down: 26 neighbors, one rental a year, and the bay as the backyard.
