Dinner Key (Modified)

The  Story

Located in the historic and fashionable Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Dinner Key Marina is Florida’s largest wet-slip marina with spaces for 582 boats. As host to more than 14 different sailing regattas each year that bring in countless sailing racers, crew, coaches, and families from around the world, the marina is an epicenter of activity. To stay in step with ever growing demand, the area recently underwent a massive renovation, including the addition of the newly constructed, 9,700 square-foot Dockmaster Facility.

The Dockmaster Facility is a multifunctional service center for the marina that answers the modern sensibilities of the bustling area it calls home yet remains in keeping with the rich, storied style for which Coconut Grove has been known since its original glamor days in the 1930s and 40s. The space is abundantly functional, housing offices, showers, and lockers, but it’s also become a crown jewel within the marina and the Coconut Grove neighborhood, as well. The meticulously designed building is LEED Gold Certified and beautifully demonstrates and educates visitors on practical, sustainable design tailored to the South Florida environment.
