Swanky seafood hotspot CATCH will return to Miami Beach after inking a lease at Robert Rivani’s Black Lion Investment Group’s Continuum restaurant space. Led by the powerhouse team behind Catch Hospitality Group (CHG), Tilman J. Fertitta, Mark Birnbaum, and Eugene Remm, CATCH MIAMI BEACH will open in 2023 and will mark the seventh outpost of the highly acclaimed brand, with locations in New York, LA, Las Vegas, and Aspen, with more in the pipeline.

Swanky seafood hotspot CATCH will return to Miami Beach after inking a lease at Robert Rivani’s Black Lion Investment Group’s Continuum restaurant space. Led by the powerhouse team behind Catch Hospitality Group (CHG), Tilman J. Fertitta, Mark Birnbaum, and Eugene Remm, CATCH MIAMI BEACH will open in 2023 and will mark the seventh outpost of the highly acclaimed brand, with locations in New York, LA, Las Vegas, and Aspen, with more in the pipeline.

“On the heels of two successful openings on the west coast, we are ready and eager to continue our expansion,” said Tilman Fertitta, Catch Hospitality Group partner. “Miami Beach has experienced tremendous growth over the last few years and the city’s evolving dining scene makes it the perfect time to bring our iconic brand to one of the greatest destinations in the world.”

Slated to open in the fall of 2023, the globally-influenced seafood restaurant will be located in Miami Beach’s illustrious SoFi neighborhood. CATCH MIAMI BEACH will be perfectly situated alongside Miami’s premier waterfront real estate, near some of the city’s highly-coveted and highest-grossing restaurants, including Prime One Twelve, CARBONE, Joe’s Stone Crab, and Milos.

Much like its New York, Los Angeles and Aspen counterparts, the expansive 22,000 sq ft restaurant is divided evenly between indoor dining and an open air terrace with retractable rooftop and will be designed by Rockwell Group, the famed interdisciplinary design team behind CATCH STEAK ASPEN and CATCH STEAK LA. With this location, Rockwell Group took the energy and excitement of the original Los Angeles location, an open-air haven, and amplified it to create a fantastical, tropical escape. CATCH MIAMI BEACH’s design celebrates the many elements of its vibrant surroundings from the neighborhood’s history as a golden playground in the 1920s to the city’s lush landscape and balmy nights and the iconic Floridian "Mediterranean Deco" architecture. Refined materials, such as bronze, antique mirror, bold marble, lacquer paints, venetian plaster and rich contrasting woods, are intricately layered with lush florals and dramatic lighting inside a sumptuous conservatory-inspired atmosphere.

“We are thrilled to bring the CATCH experience to Miami Beach,” said Mark Birnbaum, Catch Hospitality Group partner. “With its unparalleled indoor / outdoor dining and expansive retractable rooftop, this location is the perfect place for the next CATCH outpost. We look forward to welcoming the community into CATCH and hope they are as excited as we are to enjoy all the restaurant has to offer.”

Featuring modern renditions of classic dishes, CATCH’s streaming, shareable style of dining marries simple yet elegant seafood, sushi, and steak with excellent service and a lively vibe. The menu at CATCH MIAMI BEACH will offer many of the classic CATCH dishes the brand has become known for, alongside locally influenced dishes. In addition to a la carte service, the restaurant will be available for private and semi-private events, offering the quintessential Miami Beach backdrop.

“Following our recent openings in Aspen and LA, I am so excited to announce this location in a city that has become a second home for me. Miami Beach is a very special place, and I am looking forward to bringing CATCH’s three pillars of great food, service and vibe to this coastal city.” said Eugene Remm, one of three Catch Hospitality Group partners.

CATCH MIAMI BEACH will be located at 200 South Pointe Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33139 and occupy the crown jewel restaurant space at the iconic Continuum building, owned by President of Black Lion, Robert Rivani.

“CATCH MIAMI BEACH is a game changer for the neighborhood and Miami Beach as whole,” said Rivani. “Black Lion acquired this one-of-a-kind building with a mission to curate a distinctive hospitality scene in South Point’s ‘Restaurant Row’ and CATCH is the ideal brand to usher in a new era of elevated hospitality and dining.”

Since its launch in 2002, Art Basel Miami Beach has served as a dynamic platform uniquely bridging the art scenes of North and South America, Europe, and beyond. The edition marking its 20th anniversary will be the largest to date, featuring 282 exhibitors from 38 countries and territories – more than half of which hail from the Americas. In addition to its Galleries, Positions, Nova, Survey, and Edition sectors, the fair will host 20 large-scale projects as part of the Meridians sector, 29 curated installations within exhibitors’ booths in the Kabinett sector, as well as nine panels with leading art world voices in its renowned Conversations series.

Meridians

The Meridians sector invites exhibitors to showcase monumental works which extend beyond the standard art fair format. Magalí Arriola, Director of Museo Tamayo in Mexico City, will curate the sector for the third consecutive year.

Highlights from Meridians include:

  • An immersive visual environment by Cauleen Smith including the film ‘Sojourner’ (2018-2022), whose title pays homage to the feminist abolitionist. Presented by Morán Morán and Corbett vs. Dempsey.

  • ‘Let The Mermaids Flirt with Me’ (2022), a presentation of a new suite of stained-glass paintings in lightboxes by Christopher Myers, installed within a freestanding octagonal structure evoking a chapel. Exploring the relationships between Black bodies, diaspora, and the ocean, this deeply poetic work will be activated by a performance, animating the figures depicted in the glass. Presented by James Cohan Gallery.

  • Devan Shimoyama’s ‘The Grove’ (2021), which monumentalizes the common sight of shoes joined at the laces and dangling from utility wires to evidence both presumed gang territory or violence and moments of celebration and play. Presented by Kavi Gupta.

  • ‘Columbus Day’ (2019-2020) Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds, which consists of 24 primary ink mono prints and 24 ‘ghost prints’, which are the secondary pull of the print plates and represent how Indigenous communities are often viewed– namely, as "not there," faded and having disappeared. The text of the prints highlights the destruction of these communities and their lands by Columbus and consequences through the present day. Presented by K Art.

  • ‘Birth’ (1984), a monumentally scaled, hand-crocheted wall-hanging by pioneering feminist artist Judy Chicago and the largest of her seminal Birth Project (1980-1985) works. ‘Birth Project’ was an international collaboration of female needleworkers and responded to the absence ofimagery related to birthing as one of the most foundational female experiences. Presented by Jessica Silverman.

  • An installation of chairs suspended from the ceiling and 6-hour daily performance work by Colombian artist María José Arjona, ‘Silla’ (2011), on matter, object hood, experience and the body’s critical role in movement as a form of political choreography. Presented by Rolf Art.

  • A sculptural work by Simon Denny adapted from a delivery drone – ‘Amazon delivery drone patent drawing as virtual Rio Tinto mineral globe’ (2021) – employing augmented reality to facilitate a series of performative group experiences activated by viewers’ devices. Presented by Petzel and Altman Siegel.

  • A performance titled ‘Corpo Ranfla 2.0’ (2022) by rafa esparza, in which the artist will impersonate a lowrider cyborg turned into a 25-cent ride-machine. Consisting of a one-time occurrence, with the remnants of the performance – the retrofitted, 25-cent pony ride structure – on display over the course of the week, the work is a reflection on the social and political landscapes that lowrider car culture has existed and evolved in for decades into the present. Presented by Commonwealth and Council.

  • Visual activist, humanitarian, and photographer Zanele Muholi’s ‘Muholi V’ (2022)a new bronze sculpture that marks a new chapter of self-expression and self-assertion for the artist. Presented by Stevenson and Yancey Richardson Gallery.

Magalí Arriola, Art Basel's curator for Meridians, says: ‘Sculpted bodies, sexualized bodies, performing and singing bodies –brown, black, and white bodies– have made themselves present in this new edition of Meridians, challenging art historical canons and their relationship with the representation of power, opening new perspectives for art’s activism around gender and race, and infusing optimism and hope to how we might envision our future.’

Related Companies, led by the billionaire owner of the Miami Dolphins Stephen Ross, has revealed the first renderings of the Frank Gehry-designed two tower project proposed to replace the Deauville Beach Resort in Miami Beach at 601 Collins Avenue. The two towers would feature 125 residential units and 175 hotel units with the tallest tower rising 373’. Initial plans point towards an Equinox-branded project.

Related Companies, led by the billionaire owner of the Miami Dolphins Stephen Ross, has revealed the first renderings of the Frank Gehry-designed two tower project proposed to replace the Deauville Beach Resort in Miami Beach at 6701 Collins Avenue. The two towers would feature 125 residential units and 175 hotel units with the tallest tower rising 373’. Initial plans point towards an Equinox-branded project. Related Companies owns both fitness and lifestyle brand Equinox and developed the Equinox Hotel in New York City’s Hudson Yards. On November 8 a voter referendum will decide if the developers can proceed with an increased density on the site. The proposed project has already successfully received a zoning amendment in before the Miami Beach Commission voted in favor of placing the referendum on the November 8 ballot.

The existing historic Deauville Beach Resort was designed by Melvin Grossman and was where the Beatles had their second performance in the United States on February 6, 1964. The 540-room hotel was built in 1957 but ownership in recent years has left the structure fall into a decrepit, uninhabitable state and has been declared an unsafe structure.
