Real Estate Marketing & Beyond
One of the oldest and most coveted neighborhoods in Miami, Coconut Grove’s rich unique history has attracted locals and tourists for decades. A popular locale to dine, shop and engage in recreational activities, the once vibrant, booming neighborhood is set to face a long-awaited revitalization.
Situated along Dinner Key, Regatta Harbour will play an integral role in the transformation projected to revamp the beloved Coconut Grove community. Overlooking Biscayne Bay, the project joins several up-and-coming developments poised to contribute to the massive resurgence of the area, including Regatta Park, Cocowalk, Park Grove, Peacock Park, Mary Street, City Hall and Grove at Grand Bay.
Developed by The Treo Group, the mixed-use project includes retail, three signature restaurants, elevated event space, a food hall, and the renovation of the historic Pan Am airplane hangars. The 100,000 square feet of retail and industrial waterfront redevelopment also includes Regatta Harbour Marina, which replaced the former Grove Key Marina site, following a $5.5 million investment.
The TREO Group Principals Otto Boudet-Murias and Eddie Garcia shared some unique project highlights as Regatta Harbour rises:
Q: What unique project elements featured will draw crowds from all over Miami and the world?
Regatta Harbour is one of several revitalization projects currently underway in Coconut Grove that will serve as an epicenter to celebrate the long history of Dinner Key. Home to the first Naval air station base and former Pan Am sea operations, the project will include 13,000-square-feet of indoor and outdoor event space, onsite parking, three signature restaurants and more than 80,000-square-feet of retail and dining space. The changes will impact an area that was in need of this comprehensive makeover and promises to draw crowds from all over the world.
Q: What dynamic features does the property offer that are one-of-a-kind to South Miami
The development includes the preservation and renovation of historic airplane hangars once used as the first Naval air station and later bought by Pan Am. Formerly used as a port for flights to Central America and the Caribbean, the station is not only unique to South Miami, but to the entire United States. These hangars are being carefully restored and repurposed for retail. The preservation of this site accompanied with the gourmet food hall attracts locals and tourists to be a part of a unique piece of history. Preserving the old while raising interest in an appealing new locale to create memorable experiences.

With the substantial investments currently taking place, the economy will begin to see a significant increase growth trajectory.
Q: Predictions on what the new era of Coconut Grove living will be like in 5 to 10 years with the addition of this significant project
