The Grove: A new riverfront destination takes shape
In October, Port St. Lucie celebrated the groundbreaking of The Grove, a waterfront dining and gathering space located along the St. Lucie River in The Port District.
For years, residents have said they would like to see more dining and entertainment venues along the waterfront and The Grove brings that to them.
The result of a public-private partnership between the City, SūDā Investments and Atlas Restaurant Group, The Grove will feature open-air restaurants, cafés and inviting public spaces where people can relax, connect and enjoy the outdoors. When completed, it will be a place designed for people, inspired by community input and built to enhance quality of life.
As one of the City’ s most anticipated projects, The Grove is set to become a vibrant hub for residents and visitors alike— and a shining example of how thoughtful planning and collaboration can transform public spaces.
