Miami Worldcenter Delivers 80,000 SF 'Jewel Box' Retail Building In Downtown Miami

The developers of Miami Worldcenter have completed another 80,000 square feet of lifestyle-driven retail space. The stand-alone building, known as Block F-East, marks one of the final retail components of the 27-acre project to be delivered as active vertical development continues at the $4 billion mixed-use development in the heart of Downtown Miami. Featuring a modern design enclosed with floor-to-ceiling glass, Miami Worldcenter’s ‘Jewel Box’ is located at the confluence of the 7th Street Promenade and World Paseo open-air retail pedestrian streets, directly west of the development’s upcoming citizenM boutique hotel and north of the completed luxury apartment tower Bezel Miami.

With the completion of F-East, approximately 255,000 square feet of retail space has now been completed at Miami Worldcenter as tenants actively build out their spaces. Miami Worldcenter’s stellar lineup of recently opened and upcoming tenants includes Sephora (now open), lululemon, Savage x Fenty, Ray-Ban, Posman Books and Lucid Motors, as well as dining and entertainment concepts such as Bowlero, Sports & Social, Michelin-star-rated Chef Michael Beltran’s Brasserie Laurel (now open) and El Vecino eateries, and Chicago’s Maple & Ash and etta restaurants.

As one of the largest private urban real estate developments in Florida, Miami Worldcenter, which is currently coming alive in phases, will feature a diverse mix of residential, commercial and hospitality uses complemented by a total of 300,000 square feet of retail, restaurant, and entertainment space. 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.

“Curating the right mix of diverse retail, dining, and entertainment options is key to creating a vibrant destination that is attractive to Miami locals and visitors,” said Nitin Motwani, Managing Partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates. “Miami Worldcenter’s ‘Jewel Box’ was designed to become a marquee entertainment venue and we have delivered just that with exciting tenants opening soon such as Bowlero, Sports & Social, and more to come.”

“We believe Miami Worldcenter is poised to deliver a captivating infill mixed-use development that weaves together a host of new buildings and businesses with public plazas and gathering spaces in a pedestrian-scaled environment,” said Shaul Kuba, Co-Founder and Principal, CIM Group, which is leading retail leasing at Miami Worldcenter in conjunction with Miami-based The Comras Company.

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. Additionally, construction is underway at phase one of the 52-story Miami World Towers, which will comprise 550 apartment units; at Legacy Hotel & Residences, a 50-story mixed-use tower with 310 branded residences atop a hotel and 50,000 square feet of medical office space; and at the second phase of Caoba, which will encompass an adjacent 40-story tower with 420 apartments.

Planned developments include 600 Miami Worldcenter, a 579-unit fully furnished condominium by Aria Development Group and Merrimac Ventures; The Crosby, a 450-unit turn-key condominium by Related Group and Merrimac Ventures; a mixed-use residential and commercial development by Abbhi Captial; a residential development by New York-based Naftali Group; and a three-tower mixed-use project by The Witkoff Group, which will include up to 2,000 residential units as well as 550,000 square feet of office space and another 50,000 square feet of retail.

Complementing Miami Worldcenter’s retail streets will be World Square, a 20,000-square-foot outdoor public plaza and park. 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 – will transform the streets and buildings of the 27-acre ‘city within a city’ into a permanent outdoor art museum. Once complete, the program will feature 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.

Take An Inside Look At The Lavish Beachfront Bentley Residences Miami Sales Gallery With Scale Model Unit

PROFILEmiami had the exclusive opportunity to tour the beachfront sales center of Bentley Residences Miami with iconic developer Gil Dezer, who has been one of the most influential developers responsible for the transformation of the Sunny Isles Beach skyline into one of the most sought after enclaves in the world for the rich and famous. Gil’s hands-on approach is evident from the moment you arrive at the sales gallery, where a stunning Bentley Speed Form sculpture welcomes you and his prized, newly-arrived, ultra-rare McLaren Speedtail sits outside for all to enjoy to let you know he is on-site. The sales center features the exclusive Bentley diamond-shaped glass pattern panels on the façade, which evokes the diamond motif seen in the detailing on Bentley’s cars and will be used on the tower which is shaped like a Bentley shift knob.

“We did the diamond glass on the exterior, we took all kinds of cues from the cars. If you have been in a Bentley, every touchpoint on the car, whether it’s the radio, shifter or keys, it has a Bentley knurling on it, which is something that you don’t see but you feel. When you grab the doorhandles at Bentley Residences you will notice the Bentley diamond pattern underneath,” explains Gil as he welcomed us into the model unit.

Built with luxury car owners in mind like Dezer himself, each residence will include an in-unit multi-car garage and a patented car ‘Dezervator’ alongside all the most desirable luxury amenities and world-class services. The tower features four ‘Dezervators,’ which are patented hydraulic elevators built to transport residents and their vehicles directly to a private garage their floor complete with EV charging points. The car is identified on arrival by an RFID sticker positioned in the vehicle and a special LED lighting system then guides the driver to one of the ‘Dezervators’ which takes them straight to their residence. The whole process is seamless, with no buttons to press and no need to leave the vehicle.

“Finishing The Porsche Design Tower and having such a huge success, but also being the first of its kind, we took the feedback from our buyers that there was only two-car parking in the unit but that they are all car people so there may be more than two drivers in a unit. A Bentley we did a four car garage. The ‘Dezervator’ will take the car up, drop it right in your unit, and you just walk out of your car and you’re done,” said Gil as he shows the expanded sky garages which will be featured at Bentley Residences Miami.

Designed by world-renowned architectural firm, Sieger Suarez Architects, the luxury residential tower is designed to appeal to Bentley’s and Dezer Development’s most discerning customers. Bentley Residences Miami is set to rise 61-stories, 749’ above the Atlantic Ocean. The tower will feature 216 exquisitely finished residential units, each embracing an exquisite balance of indoor/outdoor living and offering uninterrupted views of the ocean and waterways. Pricing starts at $5 million and every unit will encompass an individual balcony swimming pool, outdoor shower, unobstructed seascapes, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows seamlessly implemented throughout.

“When you wake-up in the morning you can make your coffee by wifi, and then walk outside to your balcony where there is a private swimming pool right off your master-bedroom.” Said Gil about of the indoor/ outdoor living experience.

Bentley Residences Miami’s 12,000 sqft. sales gallery complete with the 6,000 sqft. model unit is located at 18325 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach. Bentley Residences Miami can also be toured in virtual reality, with each of the communal spaces, and luxurious apartments, built in Unreal Engine - a gaming platform providing advanced real-time 3D creation, a tool used by game developers and adapted for use. Within the virtual tour, users can experience the building as the residents will, either traveling in on foot, or arriving by car.

Genting Group Seeking Over $1 Billion For One Of The Largest And Most Valuable Waterfront Development Sites In The U.S.

Genting Group is seeking over $1 billion for its Omni District waterfront land, a ±15.5-acre development opportunity dubbed BayCity Miami at 1431 N Bayshore Drive in Miami. With 800 linear feet of direct Biscayne Bay frontage and highly aggressive zoning in one of Miami’s most dynamic and connected neighborhoods, it is considered the most desirable development site offering in the city’s history and one of the largest waterfront land assemblages currently available in the U.S. Genting Group has tapped Avison Young’s Florida Capital Markets Group to exclusively market the property.

“This site is among the most valuable in the United States, let alone South Florida,” said Michael T. Fay, Principal and Managing Director of Avison Young’s Miami operations who leads the team managing the sale. “The rarity of this opportunity coupled with the potential to build a landmark office, retail, residential, hospitality, and entertainment destination will attract prospective buyers from all over the world.”

Spanning several lots, including the former Miami Herald headquarters site, the property is in the Metromover subzone of Miami-Dade’s mixed-use zoning of RTZ (Rapid Transit Zone). With South Florida’s most generous zoning designation, the site has unlimited buildable square footage, no setbacks, a height limited only by the FAA regulations (649 feet) and a potential density of over 8,000 units. The RTZ zoning provides developers an enormous, highly flexible building envelope and the opportunity to develop a singular waterfront development of incredible scale.

Along with Fay, Avison Young Principals John K. Crotty, CCIM; David Duckworth, and Vice President Brian C. de la Fé will spearhead the marketing and sale of property. Genting Group, one of the largest resort and entertainment and gaming corporations in the world, will remain invested in the Omni area, maintaining ownership of parcels spanning 10 acres west of Biscayne Boulevard.

“South Florida’s popularity only continues to grow, and we are incredibly optimistic about our opportunity to bring a unique development to the area,” said Robert DeSalvio, President, Genting Americas East. “With our focus now locked in on 10 acres of prime real estate, we look forward to accelerating the process of outlining a project, putting shovels in the ground and getting a project built that all South Floridians can be proud of.”

Over the past 2.5 years, Miami has become a Tier-1 American city, on par with New York City and Los Angeles. According to proptech platform AVANT by Avison Young, Orbital Insight, Miami is outperforming most top U.S. metropolitan cities, including New York, as far as daily visitors to the city’s downtown urban core. Additionally, high-income earners and some of the most successful financial services, technology and cryptocurrency firms continue to relocate to Miami from other major metros. Rents across commercial real estate asset classes in Miami are at all-time highs, and development sales continue to break records.

Pre-Leasing Launches For Cascade Luxury Rentals At Link At Douglas

The demand for upscale living near accessible transportation hubs in Miami is stronger than ever as connectivity and location are highly desired attributes. Cascade – the second multifamily tower to be delivered within the seven-acre Link at Douglas masterplan development – is redefining luxury living with this notion. Set adjacent to the Douglas Road Metrorail Station, The Underline linear park, and the city’s main thoroughfare of US-1, the transit-oriented property has officially commenced pre-leasing for its 421 modern apartment homes and will soon welcome residents.

Set at 3050 SW 37th Ave Miami, Cascade is developed as a joint venture between Miami-based real estate developers 13th Floor Investments and Adler Development, in partnership with global investment manager Barings. The 37-story tower is a community-focused centerpiece at the confluence of the city’s coveted neighborhoods – Coconut Grove and Coral Gables – and introduces an all-encompassing lifestyle that unites unmatched amenities, sophisticated living, and dynamic retail. This includes the highly anticipated Milam’s Market on the ground floor, which is set to open in late 2022.

Cascade caters to a variety of lifestyles, from family and young professionals to students and sophisticated dwellers. Residences are thoughtfully designed to work with the rhythm of each day, balancing a lifestyle of 24/7 connectivity with time to unplug, unwind and indulge.

Apartment homes start from $2,600 per month and range from one- to three-bedroom floorplans, encompassing 582 to 1,576 square feet. They are complete with stone-wrapped kitchen islands, floor-to-ceiling windows, and in-unit washer and dryers. Superior features and finishes include tall matte lacquer soft close cabinets, full tile backsplash, modern ENERGY STAR® appliances, porcelain tiled showers, front-lit vanity mirrors, and wood-look flooring. Inboard private balconies are available in select residences. With leasing and property management by Bozzuto, meticulous attention will remain a cornerstone of the project’s DNA, conveying warm hospitality and a strong sense of community

“We are thrilled to launch the leasing program for Cascade and soon unveil this new addition to the Miami skyline,” said Arnaud Karsenti, Managing Principal of 13th Floor Investments. “Our vision for this property, and the entire Link at Douglas community, was to meet the growing needs of today’s contemporary renter who is seeking modern living options linking them to the heart of their city. We have curated a lifestyle that is elevated in every sense, from refined design, thoughtful amenities and ultimate connectivity, to the building’s physical footprint as an eye-catching emergence visible along the US-1 corridor.”

The property’s exquisite details and views — spanning the surrounding lush treetops to the waters of Biscayne Bay — are further elevated by a cascade of amenities that await. From socialites to those who simply desire to bask in South Florida’s sunshine, the 10th-floor amenity deck is a sophisticated oasis for all. At its core is a resort-style pool with luxury lounge seating, cabanas, and a poolside bar. Date nights and family gatherings level up with an outdoor movie screen and a game room complete with billiards, shuffleboard and card tables. Fitness fans can also head to the basketball half-court or yoga studio. Cue grilling stations for gatherings, with outdoor dining or an indoors social lounge complete with comfortable seating, modern kitchen, media room, and a kids’ playroom catering to Cascade’s youngest residents. Plus, pet owners can ensure their four-legged friends feel as much at home as they do with an onsite dog run and wash.

Designed by Arquitectonica, Cascade’s glass-wrapped tower celebrates elements that unite comfort and style with sophistication and a tropical twist. With interiors by Design Agency, the property features teak wood and textured wall designs in contrast with matte black accents, creating effortless elegance without exclusivity. Earth tones can be found throughout, from relaxed greenery and natural wood details in the lobby lounge to a lush garden display outlining the expansive amenity deck, offering serenity in each space.

Cascade’s transit-oriented appeal – direct access to the Metrorail system, bus lines, and Coral Gables’ Trolley – creates a seamless link to popular communities, including Brickell, Downtown Miami and the Health District, and makes car-free living an easy choice for residents. It is just minutes from Miami’s most in-demand shopping, dining and entertainment destinations, from Downtown Coral Gables to Shops at Merrick Park to South Miami and vibrant Coconut Grove, and the University of Miami’s main campus is a quick walk or bike ride away.

In its full vision, the overall Link at Douglas master plan will encompass approximately 1,600 residential units, over 32,000 square feet of retail space, and a public plaza that connects with The Underline. Last year, the development team delivered Cascade’s sister property, CORE, a 22-story multifamily tower encompassing 312 apartment residences and 6,000 feet of ground-floor retail.
