The Gateway at Wynwood, a Class A office building developed by R&B Realty Group and designed by renowned Miami architect Kobi Karp, is nearing completion. The long-awaited exterior garage cladding, which depicts a vibrant mural, has been fully installed just in time for Art Basel next month. Additionally, the rooftop deck has been completed and signage is going up around the building. Located at the intersection of Wynwood and Midtown, the office building, which found inspiration in Wynwood’s innovative spirit and modern vibe, will allow Wynwood's new residents to walk to their offices and shops without having to get in their cars. Wynwood, which used to be home to neglected warehouses, is seeing a construction boom of condos and apartments and, now, office buildings as well.
The Gateway at Wynwood will offer about 195,000 SF of leasable Class A office space and nearly 25,900 SF of prime street-level retail space. Kobi Karp designed the environmentally responsible building with flexible floorplans, a private rooftop terrace, gym, unique bay window system, 24/7 on-site security, vibrant exterior cladding, and 2:1,000 on-site covered parking. This summer, R&B Realty Group announced the building's first office lease signed with biotech company Veru Inc. The eight-year, 12,155-square-foot lease will serve as the company's global headquarters and triple Veru's current office space.
Wynwood has developed into a new office submarket in Miami, creating competition for more established office markets such as Downtown Miami, Brickell, Aventura and Coral Gables. Several big-name companies have made Wynwood their home, such as Spotify, Live Nation, Veru and Founders Fund. New zoning has also attracted many multifamily developers such as Related Group, Lennar, Fisher Brothers, and AMLI Residential, who recently broke ground on one of the largest mixed-use multifamily developments to ever break ground in Wynwood.
