After being announced practically a year ago, the lid is finally coming off of Starchitect Rem Koolhaas's Coconut Grove condo project Park Grove. It was announced last year at Design Miami, when Rem Koolhaus won a competition juried by mega-design-curator Terry Riley, to design a follow up luxury development to the Terra Group's Grove at Grand Bay, designed by fellow starchitect and former Koolhaus student Bjarke Ingels. And, as if to maximize the combined effect, the buildings are practically next door to each other.

7:49pm: It's clear that this party is an intimate affair. Little pre-launch party thing, and benefiting Fashionably Conscious. (It's Miami Fashion Week this week) The building is still a little mystery.
7:58pm: The crowd:
8:04pmThis is the future park that gives Park Grove its name. They're calling it Regatta Park:
