David Martin has made a career reshaping Miami. The Terra Group CEO has put up area-redefining towers across the region, but projects in his native Coconut Grove solidified his legacy as one of the Magic City’s most ambitious developers. While Martin’s business has expanded — he has projects as far north as West Palm and all along Miami Beach —the Grove maintains a special place in his heart. Martin spoke with The Real Deal Weekend about his lifelong relationship with the neighborhood, his favorite spots, and his daily Grove lifestyle.
