Coconut Grove’s Wellness-Forward Luxury: The Well vs. Arbor
Two Coconut Grove developments illustrate where South Florida luxury is heading: not bigger, but better calibrated. One leans into a brand-led wellness club and technology-forward specifications; the other keeps the footprint boutique, prioritizing day-to-day livability and Grove texture.
