Design 41 in Miami Design District is now fully leased after Breitling signed a lease and opened a 1,832-square-foot boutique on the district’s prime Northeast 41st Street corridor. The 112 NE 41st St. store will showcase the latest watches modeled by Breitling’s “Spotlight Squad,” which includes Charlize Theron and Misty Copeland. Other tenants that have opened in Design 41 include bespoke perfumery Bond No. 9 New York, Rosenfeld Gallery – which only has one other location in New York City, and the first U.S. flagship store for Argentine leather goods brand Gaucho.
The lease was overseen by DWNTWN Realty Advisors Co-Founder and Managing Partner Tony Arellano and Executive Joe Fernandez, who represented the landlord to lease the entire 40,000-square-foot building. Design 41 was developed by Design District Development Partners.
“It is fitting that Breitling moves into the final available space on this important block and joins some of the world’s most luxurious retailers, such as Louis Vuitton, Ermenegildo Zegna, Tiffany & Co. and Burberry, in the Design District,” Arellano said. “We are proud of our role in leasing up Design 41 and helping the entire neighborhood reach its full potential.”
“We drew upon our unique knowledge of the neighborhood and strong relationships to accomplish a successful lease-up of Design 41,” Fernandez said. “Breitling’s new store there will undoubtedly rival its top-performing boutiques in major U.S. markets.”
Arellano and DWNTWN Co-Founder Marinoff have also played a pivotal role in Miami Design District’s evolution. Over the last seven years, the brokers have completed 22 transactions totaling more than $205 million in the neighborhood’s four-block pedestrian core. These sales represent most of the district transactions not involving Dacra’s assemblage, filling the gaps around the district’s core and making DWNTWN the neighborhood’s market leaders.
