Sant Ambroeus to Open Second Planned Miami Location at MIRAI Design District, Bringing Milanese Café Culture to Miami’s Design District

MIRAI Design District has signed Sant Ambroeus as a signature hospitality tenant, marking the heritage Italian brand’s second planned Miami location and further reinforcing the project’s position as a design-, hospitality-, and culture-driven destination within the evolving Miami Design District.

Sant Ambroeus will occupy approximately 5,000 square feet at MIRAI Design District, where the concept will include a full-service restaurant, coffee bar, and outdoor dining experience slated to open in 2028. The space will be designed by internationally acclaimed architect and designer Fabrizio Casiraghi, whose work is known for blending timeless European elegance with contemporary sensibility. More than a traditional restaurant outpost, the space is envisioned as an all-day gathering place woven into the daily life of the neighborhood, extending MIRAI’s broader vision of hospitality, design, and community. The addition reflects the continued evolution of the Design District into one of the country’s most globally recognized luxury and cultural destinations, where fashion, art, architecture, hospitality, and daily life increasingly intersect.

Developed by WellDuo, Leviathan Development, Lionheart Capital and The Lane Organization, MIRAI Design District is the first mixed-use development in the United States by internationally acclaimed architect Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA). The project marks a significant milestone for the influential Japanese architect, whose work has become synonymous with blending architecture, nature, and cultural experience.

Positioned along Northeast Second Avenue, MIRAI has emerged as part of the next phase of growth at the Miami Design District, emphasizing boutique retail, hospitality, architecture, and pedestrian-oriented experiences over traditional large-scale commercial development. Conceived as a more intimate and design-forward extension of the district, the project aims to create a curated environment where luxury retail, hospitality, and community life coexist more seamlessly.

“At Sant Ambroeus, we’ve always looked for locations that already possess a strong sense of identity, culture, and creative energy,” said Gaetano Guarducci, managing partner of SA Hospitality Group. “MIRAI immediately felt aligned with that philosophy. The architecture, the emphasis on thoughtful design, and the evolving energy of this part of the Design District made it feel like a natural fit for our next chapter in Miami. As Miami continues to evolve into a truly global city, we’re excited to deepen our roots here in a neighborhood that already speaks so

Founded in Milan in 1936, Sant Ambroeus has become internationally recognized for blending Milanese sophistication with contemporary New York energy, cultivating a loyal following across fashion, art, design, and hospitality circles. With locations spanning Milan, New York, Palm Beach, Aspen, Paris, and now expanding further into Miami, the brand has long positioned itself within neighborhoods where culture, creativity, and lifestyle naturally converge. The brand’s arrival at MIRAI further reinforces the project as a curated cultural destination where hospitality, architecture, fashion, and daily life intersect.

“Sant Ambroeus represents exactly the kind of thoughtful, design-conscious hospitality we envisioned for MIRAI,” said Eduardo Pelaez, principal of WellDuo. “The brand has a rare ability to create spaces that feel simultaneously international and deeply personal, rooted in elegance, culture, and everyday experience. Their presence helps define the type of environment we’re building at MIRAI: curated, design-driven, and centered around how people actually want to gather, linger, and experience Miami beautifully.”

MIRAI Design District is designed as a “floating lantern,” with a transparent ground floor, lush central garden, boutique retail spaces, and hospitality-driven public areas intended to create a more intimate and experiential extension of the Design District. The project also includes approximately 41,000 square feet of boutique class A office space tailored toward family offices, and design-oriented businesses seeking highly curated environments.

The addition of Sant Ambroeus marks a significant milestone in MIRAI’s leasing strategy, which has focused on securing tenants aligned with the project’s emphasis on architecture, culture, hospitality, and long-term neighborhood placemaking.

Global financial services company Rothschild & Co. will open a Miami office at 830 Brickell after leasing space at OKO Group and Cain International’s premier Class A+ office tower which is nearing completion in the city’s Brickell Financial District. Rothschild & Co. is one of the world's largest independent financial advisory groups, employing 3600 people in 40 countries across the world.

The deal marks a continuation of the influx of new-to-market companies to South Florida, with many firms opting to take space at 830 Brickell. The 640,000-square-foot project, which is over 90%, is slated for completion this year. It will be the first new standalone office tower in Brickell in more than a decade.

Brian Gale and Andrew Trench led the Cushman & Wakefield team that represented the developers in the deal. Scott Quick and Alan Wildes, also of Cushman, represented the tenant.

"The ownership behind 830 Brickell in Miami has completed a 5,000 square foot lease with global financial firm Rothschild & Co. Rothschild becomes the latest new-to-market firm to join a roster of best-in-class tenants that will move into the building upon delivery this year. With more than 90 percent of 830 Brickell’s tenants being new to the Miami market, the tower has solidified its position as the address of choice for inbound firms spanning banking and finance, technology, and law and professional services.”

Rothschild will join a roster of world-leading companies at the building, including Microsoft, financial services company Citadel, international law firms Kirkland & Ellis, Sidley Austin, Winston & Strawn LLP and Baker McKenzie, New York-based insurance firm A-CAP, private equity firm Thoma Bravo, CI Financial, Marsh Insurance, AerCap and others.

830 Brickell will feature spectacular only-in-Miami panoramic ocean and city views, floor-to-ceiling windows, column-free spans, state-of-the-art digital infrastructure with Wired certification and a LEED Silver certification due to its progressive environmentally efficient design. The tower offers tech-forward, first-class amenities including an upscale rooftop restaurant and bar, a sky lobby with a nearly 2,500 SF health and wellness center and first-class conference facility, a 14th floor outdoor terrace designed by Enea Landscape Architecture, valet parking, electric vehicle charging stations, cafés and white-glove customer service including a 24-hour concierge.

Robert Rivani's Black Lion To Bring Philippe by Philippe Chow To One Ocean In Miami Beach's South of Fifth

New York-based restaurant Philippe by Philippe Chow has signed a 15 year lease to occupy the coveted restaurant space at One Ocean South Beach which was acquired by Robert Rivani’s Black Lion Investment Group in November 2022. With plans to open the flagship outpost in Q2 2024, Abraham Merchant and Richard Cohn are bringing the brand's legacy of sophisticated Beijing-inspired dining to Black Lion’s entire ground floor space at One Ocean in the heart of the South of Fifth neighborhood.

“Landing a legendary restaurant brand with an incredible following is in step with Black Lion’s vision to curate an epicenter for elevated dining and nightlife experiences,” said Robert Rivani. “Philippe by Philippe Chow will deliver a culinary cornerstone unique to the neighborhood and is the perfect fit for its future.”

Philippe by Philippe Chow will occupy 13,500+ square-feet on the corner of South Pointe and Ocean Drive. Attached to multi-million dollar residential condos, the space interiors span 10,000-square-feet with 3,500-square-feet of exteriors. An iconic restaurant for almost two decades, Philippe Chow’s first, and now flagship, location opened in Uptown Manhattan in 2005. Since then, the restaurant remained an undisputed favorite among New York City’s power crowd—including athletes, musicians and film stars—who crave Chef Chow’s interpretation on traditional Chinese cuisine.

Known for his modern, flavorful, and theatrical style, Chef Philippe Chow—the brand’s visionary and namesake—is world-renowned for his lavish, Beijing-style dishes and pioneered the way for fine-dining Chinese cuisine in the U.S.

“The expansion of Philippe Chow to such an iconic location in this taste-making gateway city is a key milestone for the brand both here in the United States and overseas,” says Abraham Merchant, president and CEO of Philippe Chow.

This will be Philippe by Philippe Chow’s southern flagship in the United States, following its Washington DC Wharf outpost opening in April of 2023, along with a downtown Nashville location targeted for a 2024 Q1 opening. In addition to the US expansion, the Middle East expansion continues, in addition to a multi-unit agreement in KSA, a new agreement in Kuwait City has been signed, and discussions are proceeding in Egypt and Dubai.

With nearly two decades of storied history, the Chinese eatery is a carefully crafted offering where substance drives notoriety. Meticulously designed signature dishes are infused with the flavor of Chow’s upbringing and made with the freshest ingredients, including the legendary Peking Duck, carved tableside for an unparalleled experience.

Black Lion was represented by Fabio Faerman and Sebastian Faerman with FA Commercial, while Philippe Chow was represented by Jeremy Modest and Ryan Tucker of RIPCO Real Estate.

“We were thrilled to work with Phillipe Chow to support the company’s expansion to South Florida. The Miami market continues to showcase strength and remains an attractive location for world class operators,” said Jeremy Modest, Executive Managing Director at RIPCO Real Estate. Our goal at RIPCO Florida is to help guide the best tenants New York City has to offer down to Florida by focusing on finding excellent locations and the right Landlord’s to partner with which was demonstrated in our work with Philippe Chow.

Specializing in ownership of flagship restaurant properties, Rivani’s vision for Black Lion’s transformative “Restaurant Row” along South Pointe Drive is now complete, with Philippe by Philippe Chow anchoring One Ocean South Beach, Catch Miami Beach opening at the Continuum high-rise this fall, and Marea Condominium’s multi-restaurant space reaching 100% occupancy with Kosushi Miami, a Brazilian-based Michelin Star restaurant; RED, a locals-favorite steakhouse; and a soon-to-be-announced, world-renowned tenant.

Since 2022, Black Lion has secured over $100 million in acquisitions across South Florida with a rapidly expanding portfolio of restaurant/hospitality properties from Miami Beach to Wynwood, Brickell and Downtown – including the space for Gekko by David Grutman x Bad Bunny; Amara at Paraiso with chef Michael Schwartz; Wynwood Jungle with a newly opened Fable rooftop restaurant; the ground floor of Zaha Hadid’s iconic One Thousand Museum; and Delilah at Brickell Bay boardwalk.

The development’s ownership has completed leases with a new high-end fitness concept called Club Studio, popular dining spot Earls Kitchen + Bar, and luxury swimwear brand Luli Fama through Leap – a platform that develops and operates immersive retail stores for modern and emerging brands. These latest tenants will occupy a combined 45,000 square feet of retail space at Miami Worldcenter, bringing the development’s retail component to approximately 75% leased.

Approximately 255,000 square feet of retail space has now been completed at Miami Worldcenter as tenants actively build out their spaces.

The project is being developed by master developers Miami Worldcenter Associates, led by Principal Art Falcone and Managing Partner Nitin Motwani, in partnership with CIM Group.

Leap’s platform enables brands to deploy stores that work in concert with e-commerce more rapidly and at significantly reduced cost and risk. Brand stores powered by Leap bring modern brands to life with compelling, immersive customer experience and operations driven and informed by millions of data points. Leap’s first concept at Miami Worldcenter will be Luli Fama, a women’s luxury swim and resort wear brand, globally recognized for its universally flattering fit, immaculate designs and eclectic mix of vibrant hues. Luli Fama will operate out of a 1,246-square-foot space at the base of the PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter tower in Block D-West.

“Retailers and restauranteurs are judicious in the selection of new locations and we view the strong leasing activity, and ongoing interest, from a mix of top quality businesses, as a testament to the compelling destination we are creating with Miami Worldcenter,” said Shaul Kuba, Co-Founder and Principal, CIM Group.

Miami Worldcenter is now home to three completed residential towers – PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter, Caoba, and Bezel Miami. Development of a 351-room citizenM hotel is now complete and expected to open at Miami Worldcenter in early 2023.

Designed as a central gathering place, World Square will serve as the heartbeat of the development featuring an abundance of open space, shade trees, and oversized, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks lined with dining, entertainment, and retail concepts.

Miami Worldcenter’s $5 million public art initiative – curated by international art dealer Jeffrey Deitch and Miami-based curatorial collective PRIMARY – transforms the streets and buildings of the 27-acre ‘city within a city’ into a permanent outdoor art museum. Now complete, the program features a variety of contemporary and modern art works – in the form of large-scale murals, paintings, and sculptures – created by globally acclaimed artists including Nina Chanel Abney, Woody De Othello, Viktor El-Saieh, Nick Cave, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Hernan Bas, Serge Toussaint, Zadok Ben-David and Franz Ackermann.

Miami Worldcenter occupies 10 city blocks within walking distance of Museum Park, home to Pérez Art Museum Miami and the Frost Museum of Science; FTX Arena; the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts; and Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus. It is also adjacent to Brightline’s MiamiCentral station, which offers direct train service to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and will soon reach Orlando, together with access to Tri-Rail, the Metromover, and the Metrorail – making Miami Worldcenter the largest and most connected transit-oriented development in Florida.

World-Renowned Spanish Master Architect Albert Campo Baeza's First U.S. Commercial Building THE FIFTH MIAMI BEACH To Launch Leasing And Break Ground

Sumaida + Khurana and Bizzi & Partners, two internationally recognized real estate development firms, will begin leasing and start construction in the coming months for their new Class A+ office building designed by renowned Spanish master architect Alberto Campo Baeza named THE FIFTH MIAMI BEACH. This will be the first commercial building in the United States and first building in Miami designed by Baeza, who won Spain’s National Prize for Architecture last year. It will also be the first new commercial building to be built in Miami’s South of Fifth neighborhood in more than 15 years. This summer, less than one year after acquiring the site, Sumaida + Khurana and Bizzi & Partners received unanimous design approval by the Historic Preservation Board of Miami. Sumaida + Khurana is led by Founding Partners Saif Sumaida and Amit Khurana. Bizzi & Partners is led by CEO Davide Bizzi and Managing Director Alessandro Pallaoro.

The Fifth Miami Beach will redefine the modern office experience with a design that evokes poetic architecture through simplicity, beauty, and exquisite detailing. Its striking jewel box shape features a facade of precious white marble, transparent glass, and clean white concrete. Sumaida + Khurana and Bizzi & Partners decided to emphasize health and wellness throughout every aspect of the development.

The building incorporates a number of biophilic design elements which make it an elevated oasis, including massive, landscaped outdoor terraces, a majestic triple-height atrium at the building’s core and an impressive rooftop with expansive ocean and water views. It also includes an abundance of amenities including two dining venues, indoor and outdoor gyms, and a spa. With interiors designed by renowned architectural firm, Gabellini Sheppard Associates, the quality level of interior details, finishes and materials are what would be expected in a custom home.

"At The Fifth Miami Beach, we have sought to deliver a singular boutique office product that has not previously existed. By thoughtfully integrating contemporary architecture and craft, private fitness and spa amenities, expansive outdoor space and lush landscaping, curated dining options, and bespoke building services, our objective has been to think of the office building as a holistic ecosystem that supports the well-being and spatial experience of its tenants," said Amit Khurana, Founding Partner, Sumaida + Khurana.

“Alberto Campo Baeza’s architectural design features understated elegance, purity of design and subtle detailing that creates a calm, meditative ambiance that sets the tone for the rest of the building. We have assembled a stellar team to create an environment that is of the highest quality. In addition to Campo Baeza and Gabellini Sheppard Associates, award-winning firm Cube 3 serves as the executive architect and renowned firm, Miami-based Urban Robot Associates will be the project’s landscape architect,” said Alessandro Pallaoro, Managing Director, Bizzi & Partners.

Global commercial real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield will oversee office leasing efforts and is being led by Brian Gale, Ryan Holtzman and Andrew Trench. Miami Beach-based commercial retail brokerage firm, Avenue Real Estate Partners will be handling retail leasing and is led by Aaron Butler.

“The Fifth Miami Beach, which measures 60,000 square feet, will be the highest quality boutique office building ever built in the United States. We have never seen a product at this scale that offers the same architectural pedigree, custom finishes, and best-in-class amenities. It will be the perfect offering for flight to quality tenants,” said Brian Gale, Vice-Chairman, Cushman & Wakefield.

The building spans five floors and each appears to effortlessly float due to the custom steel edge details found along the concrete slabs. Office ceiling heights reach 14 feet and offer an abundant sense of light, air, and outdoor space throughout every level. Each floor includes extensive wraparound terraces created for relaxation or group gatherings, where colleagues can meet. The building includes a monumental marble lobby with 33-foot ceiling heights as well as a large atrium that runs through its core. It also incorporates multiple amenities for tenants to share including a crowning rooftop space offering unobstructed views of the ocean and Miami Beach; a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa wrapped in custom oak millwork and tundra marble; on-site dining venues providing healthy dining options; and a best-in-class dining establishment that will occupy the ground floor and mezzanine space. Two historic houses located on site will be carefully restored and incorporated into the building’s design. One will be geared towards becoming a café that will serve healthy options and another will include a private courtyard seating and a butterfly sanctuary garden.

The project has been designed to meet LEED certification standards and will feature environmentally friendly materials and construction methods, high energy efficiency, reduced water consumption, and advanced air quality and filtration systems. The building is situated at the entrance to Miami Beach from the MacArthur Causeway, in the South of Fifth neighborhood at the corner of Michigan and Fifth Street. SoFi has quickly become an exclusive enclave home to many popular restaurants, hotels, hot spots, and high-end condos.

Sumaida + Khurana and Bizzi & Partners are individually known the world over for developing some of the most significant real estate projects in the world, collaborating with critically acclaimed and architects and designers. New York-based Sumaida + Khurana collaborated with Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Tadao Ando to design 152 Elizabeth Street, as well as Pritzker Laureate, Alvaro Siza for 611 West 56th Street. Bizzi & Partners, which has offices in New York, Milan, São Paulo, and Tallinn, worked with Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano to design both 565 Broome SoHo in Manhattan and Eighty Seven Park in Miami. The firm also developed the Langham Hotel in New York, designed by Charles Gwathmey.

Uchiko, recently recognized by Open Table as one of the top 100 restaurants in the US and lauded by GQ Magazine as one of the best new restaurants in America when it first opened, will open its third location in Miami Beach, following locations in Austin and Houston.

The menu at Uchiko constantly evolves. Uchiko Miami guests can expect signature bold flavors with hints of smoke and char that differentiate Uchiko from its sibling Uchi. Uchiko balances richness and delicacy with its interpretation of raw fish at the sushi bar alongside wood-fired items and Yakitori-grilled options. Uchiko Miami will also offer a full bar with hard-to-find Japanese whiskeys and a well-rounded and inventive cocktail menu.

“We quickly fell in love with the energy of Miami when we opened our first Florida Uchi location in 2021,” said Hai Hospitality CEO Tony Montero. “When we found the Eighteen Sunset development, we knew it would be the perfect location to continue to grow in Miami with Uchiko, and we’re looking forward to adding to both the energy of the city and Sunset Harbour with Uchiko Miami.”

“Uchiko is one of the country’s most innovative restaurant concepts, and Miami Beach is among the world’s most vibrant dining destinations. Uchiko at Eighteen Sunset is destined to become a favorite spot for the growing number of residents and visitors setting their sights on South Florida,” said Deco Capital Group Founder Bradley Colmer.

Eighteen Sunset is Deco Capital’s latest mixed-use development, rising five stories directly across from Biscayne Bay. The ground floor is home to 17,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, a central cobblestone breezeway and cantilevered, covered sidewalk connecting to Maurice Gibb Park. The building has parking on the second level, and Class A+ office totaling 40,000 square feet on the third and fourth, topped by an exclusive penthouse encompassing nearly 30,000 square feet of interior and exterior space, including a spectacular rooftop and pool deck. Construction is currently underway, with delivery slated for late 2023.
