Ivan & Mike’s Coconut Grove Listing
A combined residence at Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove, represented by the Ivan & Mike Team at Compass, is the subject of an October 30, 2026 editorial feature in Cottages & Gardens. Written by Hadley Cucco, the Cottages & Gardens feature focuses on the home’s colorful interiors, generous scale and wide views, and quotes listing agent Ivan Chorney.
The home joins two condominium residences on the 18th floor of the building’s Bayshore tower, at 2655 S. Bayshore Drive, into a single home with 4,833 square feet of interior living area. Our listing page presents it as Combined Residence #1801/#1802, and you can review the residence details there, including current information.
Our team was founded by Ivan Chorney and Michael Martirena. Ivan is the voice in the published story, while Michael, a Broker Associate, advises clients alongside him across Miami’s luxury condominium market.
A Coconut Grove Residence Recognized for Its Individuality
Many luxury condominiums aim for a neutral backdrop. This one does the opposite, and the feature emphasized that contrast: patterned walls, natural textures and a palette with real personality, within a floor plan far larger than a typical single unit.
Two residences joined into one create a scale more often associated with a house, while the setting keeps an owner close to the village center of Coconut Grove. For a second home in Miami, that pairing of space and neighborhood life deserves a careful look.
Editorial coverage is a prompt for that look, not a verdict; it does not establish value, condition or suitability for your household. The feature reported an asking price of about $14 million, and current pricing and status are kept on the listing page and should be confirmed directly.

Color, Materials, and a More Personal Approach to Luxury
The interiors have a clear point of view. Custom wallpapers bring pattern and color into rooms that might otherwise feel conventionally modern, and capiz shell wall coverings add a soft, pearly texture that shifts as the light moves through the day.
Made-to-measure millwork and warm wood accents balance lacquered, high-gloss cabinetry, and that warmth plays against cooler surfaces: white Italian terrazzo floors, quartz countertops and porcelain tile from Europe.
Floor-to-ceiling glass carries daylight deep into the plan, which matters in a combined home where inner rooms could otherwise feel removed from the outlook.
For a buyer, the question is fit. Expressive finishes are the appeal for some households and a starting point for others, and any planned alterations should be reviewed against the association’s rules.
A Combined Layout, Terraces, and Views
Joining two residences produced 4,833 square feet of interior living area with six bedrooms. The feature described six bathrooms; the current listing details six full baths plus a powder room.
For a second-home owner, that scale could allow a principal suite well separated from guest rooms, space for visiting family, and a bedroom used as an office or studio. The right arrangement depends on how much time you plan to spend in Miami and who will be with you.
The feature describes expansive terraces, and our listing page describes a private wraparound terrace. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the feature reports 180-degree views reaching Downtown Miami and beyond, and the listing page describes bay-facing outlooks toward Peacock Park and Key Biscayne. Sightlines should be confirmed in person, and no view should be assumed permanent.
How the combined units are recorded, how assessments apply and whether the combination could ever be reversed are questions for the condominium documents and your attorney.
Ivan Chorney’s Perspective on the Property and Location
In the feature, Ivan points to two qualities: the versatility of the home’s views and its closeness to the Grove itself. He describes the residence as placing its owner within “walking distance from all the restaurants and retail of Coconut Grove,” and suggests that few properties bring those elements together.
The developer places the building across S. Bayshore Drive from Regatta Park and the city-operated Dinner Key Marina, with CocoWalk and Peacock Park to the south. For part-time residents, that mix of parkland, dining and boutiques shapes the rhythm of a stay. Proximity to the marina does not include a boat slip.
Sightlines vary by floor, exposure and room, and nearby construction can change an outlook over time, so we suggest visiting at different times of day and walking the routes you would actually use. Our Coconut Grove luxury real estate guide offers wider context on the neighborhood.
Ivan Chorney, Michael Martirena, and the Ivan & Mike Team
Ivan and Michael founded the Ivan & Mike Team in 2015 and have been with Compass since 2020. The team’s work centers on new development, branded residences, waterfront homes and luxury condominiums, and Coconut Grove is among the markets it prioritizes. You can meet the full group on our team page.
Ivan began his career in Miami new-development and pre-construction sales, a useful background in a newer branded building, where buyers benefit from understanding how amenities and the association are organized.
Michael is a Broker Associate and co-founder. He comes from a family of real estate investors, earned a business degree from the University of Florida and works with clients in English and Spanish, which allows international and Spanish-speaking buyers to discuss priorities in the language most comfortable for them.
For buyers, our role is comparing Coconut Grove luxury condos on layout, services, association terms and day-to-day fit rather than headlines. For sellers of distinctive homes, it is describing what sets a property apart clearly and accurately; press attention is never something we promise.

What Buyers Should Review at Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove
Terra developed Mr. C Residences Coconut Grove with the Mr. C brand, with architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by Meyer Davis, across two towers, Bayshore and Tigertail. According to the developer, shared amenities include a rooftop pool, a garden-level lap pool, a fitness center, a spa with sauna and steam rooms, residents’ lounges, concierge, and 24-hour valet and security. Services such as housekeeping, in-residence dining and personal training may be offered à la carte with additional fees. The residences are separate from the Mr. C Coconut Grove hotel, and hotel privileges should not be assumed. Current availability and terms should be confirmed with the association.
Before considering this or any combined residence, buyers typically review:
- Current asking price and listing status
- Approved floor plans and documented square footage
- How the combined units are recorded and assessed
- Association documents, fees, reserves and parking
- Rules on renovations, leasing, guests and services
- Insurance, financing and an independent inspection
Second-home owners should also plan how the residence will be looked after between visits; management, housekeeping and leasing should not be assumed to be included or permitted.
International buyers should obtain independent cross-border legal, tax, financing and ownership advice, as requirements vary by circumstance. A purchase should not be viewed as a path to immigration or residency status.
Property details, pricing, availability, association requirements, and service access may change. Buyers should review current listing materials and condominium documents and consult qualified legal, tax, financial, and insurance professionals before making a purchase decision.
Conclusion
This residence stands apart for its scale, its expressive interiors and its place in the daily life of Coconut Grove. Those qualities are best judged through residence-specific due diligence, from documents and fees to sightlines seen in person. Ivan Chorney, Michael Martirena and the Ivan & Mike Team are glad to guide that process.
