Cora is a 12-story, 74-residence building at 4241 Aurora Street in Coral Gables, connected to the Shops at Merrick Park. It's a WELL certified building, designed by Arquitectonica around air and water purification, natural light and acoustics, with a rooftop padel court the developer describes as the first in Coral Gables.
Residences range from one to three bedrooms, priced from $995,000 as of August 2026. Start here before visiting the sales gallery, and I'll help you narrow the residences that make sense and show you how Cora compares with the other Coral Gables and Coconut Grove options on your list.

Location
Cora sits beside the Shops at Merrick Park, so dining and shopping are a short walk away. Downtown Coral Gables, the University of Miami and Coconut Grove are all a few minutes by car.
"Cora is a rare chance at new construction near the heart of Coral Gables, and the wellness focus goes well beyond a spa. What I help buyers think through is which layout fits, whether a combination residence makes sense, and how it compares with Coconut Grove options like THE WELL."

Who This Is Best For
Coral Gables Buyers
You want a new condo in Coral Gables without buying a house.
Walkable Living
You want to walk to Merrick Park's shops and restaurants.
Health-Focused Buyers
Air quality, materials and wellness amenities matter to you.
Probably not the right fit if you want water views, a large-tower amenity scale or a beach setting.
What Buyers Should Know
- Combination residences are possible. If you need more space than a single plan offers, ask about combining residences.
- Compare square footage carefully. The developer measures to the exterior walls, so compare like measurements when weighing Cora against other buildings.
- Timing and deposits. I'll walk you through the construction timeline and deposit structure for the residence you're considering.
- Have the contract reviewed. Consider having a Florida real estate attorney review the purchase agreement before signing.
