Grove Isle Condo in Miami

Grove Isle is a private island in Biscayne Bay just off Coconut Grove, master-planned with three waterfront residential towers and club amenities. The association engaged TISW CORP to modernize exterior openings while meeting Miami-Dade impact and water-infiltration standards and preserving panoramic bay views. (Approx. 20-acre island; three condominium towers.)Wikipedia
The Grove Isle towers are each 18 stories and sited at 1, 2, and 3 Grove Isle Drive; the original development was completed around 1979–1981. Miami ResidenceMiami Condos For Sale & Rent+2Miami Condos For Sale & Rent+2Lux Life Miami Blog

Client Goals

Achieve full compliance with Miami-Dade/Florida Building Code for impact, pressure, and water performance

Refresh the façade with slimmer sightlines and uniform finishes without altering view corridors
Minimize disruption in an occupied, high-rise condo environment
Improve comfort through reduced exterior noise, solar control, and tighter air/water seals

Challenges & Our Solutions

Challenges

Ocean-exposed elevations with wind-driven rain and salt air
Oversized sliding door panels requiring engineered rigging at height
Strict performance submittals/approvals (impact, structural, water infiltration)
Access logistics on a private island (swing stages, hoisting, elevator scheduling, dock coordination)

Our Solution

TISW CORP delivered a turn-key retrofit program tailored to Grove Isle:

Impact-rated assemblies specified to design pressures and exposure for waterfront towers
Performance glazing (laminated + low-E/solar-control) to improve acoustics and interior comfort
Resident-centric phasing: stack-by-stack scheduling, daily communications, and clean work areas
Precision installation using swing stages and crane/smart-lift handling for oversized units
QA & documentation: targeted water testing, punch-list control, and closeout packages for the association
