Regatta Harbour
Transforming Coconut Grove's historic Dinner Key into a vibrant bayfront destination for dining, retail, events, and boating.
Vision
Regatta Harbour is a multi-phase, mixed-use waterfront redevelopment transforming more than 9.5 acres of Coconut Grove's historic Dinner Key — one of Miami's most storied waterfronts — into a vibrant lifestyle destination. The project represents a landmark public-private partnership between The Treo Group, the City of Miami, and the Miami Parking Authority.

Dinner Key has been a center of Miami's maritime and aviation history since the early 1900s. Originally an island connected to the mainland in 1914, it served as the first continental Naval air station during World War I. Through the 1930s and 1940s, it was the base for Pan American World Airways' famous flying boats — the Sikorsky S-41 and S-42 "Clipper" seaplanes were housed in the very hangars that Regatta Harbour has preserved and restored.
Development Phases
Phase 1 — Marina (2019): A $5.5 million overhaul replaced the former Grove Key Marina with a state-of-the-art facility featuring coveted dry storage racks for 400+ vessels (fully occupied with a waiting list), three launch points with boat lifts, two floating docks for launching, 700 linear feet of transient floating dockage with three finger piers, and an upgraded fueling station.
Phase 2 — Parking Garage (2020): The City of Miami and Miami Parking Authority delivered a 127,000-square-foot, three-story municipal parking garage with 253 spaces and 33,000 SF of ground-floor commercial retail space at 3351 Pan American Drive.
Phase 3 — Retail & Restaurants: Individual tenant build-outs of more than 100,000 SF of specialty retail, chef-driven restaurants, and entertainment concepts. The development secured a $33 million construction loan from FirstBank Florida in September 2018.
Phase 4 — Historic Hangars: The restoration and renovation of two historic airplane hangars, creating approximately 40,000 SF of unique space. The south hangar — "The Hangar at Regatta Harbour" — is now a 20,000-square-foot premier event venue. The Harbour Terrace rooftop event space offers 6,000 SF of air-conditioned interiors and 7,500 SF of outdoor space, each accommodating up to 300 guests with sweeping views of the city and bay.
