The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Coconut Grove is a twin-tower luxury condominium community integrated with a five-star hotel campus in the heart of Coconut Grove, steps from Dinner Key Marina and Biscayne Bay. The association engaged TISW CORP to modernize exterior openings—impact windows and large-format sliding glass doors—while preserving panoramic bay and skyline views and meeting Miami-Dade impact and water-infiltration performance requirements. (Two residential towers, ~22 stories; addresses 3350 & 3400 SW 27th Ave; c. 2001–2002 delivery.)Miami Condos For Sale & RentMiamiCondos.comVickie Arcuri Real Estate
Client Goals
Achieve full Miami-Dade / Florida Building Code compliance (impact, pressure, water).
Refresh sightlines and finishes to align with Ritz-level aesthetics.
Minimize disruption in an occupied high-rise with hotel and residential operations.
Improve comfort via better noise reduction, solar control, and air/water tightness.
Challenges & Our Solutions
Challenges
Ocean-influenced exposure with wind-driven rain and salt air.
Oversized sliders requiring engineered rigging and precise handling at height.
Strict submittals/approvals and QA water-testing standards.
Shared-campus logistics (swing stages, hoisting, loading, valet/traffic flow, and elevator scheduling).
Our Solution
TISW CORP delivered a turn-key, occupied-building retrofit tailored to the Ritz-Carlton campus:
Impact-rated assemblies matched to tower design pressures and exposure zones.
Performance glazing (laminated + low-E/solar control) tuned for acoustics and thermal comfort.
Resident- & guest-centric phasing: stack-by-stack scheduling, quiet hours, and daily coordination with management.
Precision installation via swing stages and crane/smart-lift handling for oversized units; shop-drawing + submittal control.
QA & documentation: targeted water testing, punch-list management, and closeout packages for the association.
