The restaurant is located within the Kimpton Palomar South Beach, with a separate, waterside entrance along the Collins Canal on Alton Road.

Award-winning New York-based Altamarea Group, the global hospitality company behind Michelin star-rated Marea and Ai Fiori, as well as Osteria Morini and Nicoletta brands, has officially opened Osteria Morini Miami Beach. The restaurant is located within the Kimpton Palomar South Beach, with a separate, waterside entrance along the Collins Canal on Alton Road. Conveniently nestled between the Sunset Harbour and West Avenue neighborhoods, Morini aims to appeal to locals in the Miami Beach community. Morini Miami Beach joins locations in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey and Washington, D.C.

“After a long search, we found the right balance of neighborhood, community and Miami vibe in this location, and we’re thrilled to finally open the doors of Osteria Morini Miami Beach,” said Ahmass Fakahany, Altamarea Group founder and CEO. “Morini is your year-round neighborhood restaurant, and we were very selective about choosing a location that appeals to residents while still catering to visitors and hotel guests. Our clientele spans the globe, and recently, many have moved south or visit often. They know they can count on Morini, and we look forward to introducing our quality and vibrant style of dining to those we haven't met yet.”

Altamarea Group partnered with Finvarb Group, the owner and developer of the Kimpton Palomar South Beach, to bring Osteria Morini Miami Beach to fruition.

“We're confident that through Kimpton's collaboration with Altamarea Group, along with our collective expertise in the South Florida market, we'll be able to create an amazing experience for hotel guests and Miami locals alike,” said Ronny Finvarb, principal of Finvarb Group.

Led by Corporate Executive Chef Bill Dorrler, who has launched all Morini restaurants, and Altamarea veteran Chef de Cuisine Julio Cesar Ramos, the menu highlights the soulful cuisine and convivial spirit of Northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region with authentic, high-quality dishes in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

"We’re bringing many of Morini’s trusted favorites to Miami, and we’re excited to adapt part of our menu to align with the local vibe and Miami lifestyle with some new, lighter options as well," said Altamarea Group Corporate Executive Chef Bill Dorrler. "This is my fifth Morini opening, and Chef Ramos and I are particularly looking forward to incorporating Miami flavors and products – think locally caught seafood and the freshest Florida produce – creating the perfect balance of cuisine and cocktails."

Designed by New York City-based nusla design, the 3,700 square-foot space has an intrinsically ‘Miami-meets-New York’ feel that combines the rustic design of an Italian farmhouse with clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows spanning the yacht-shaped building. The buildout features modern elements with red brick and wood to clad the walls and ceiling, and Morini’s trademark floating Italian Murano glass-domed lights that dot the dining room, creating a soft amber glow. The dining room has seating for 100, bar seating for 15 and al fresco dining on the canal-front patio space for 45. Private dining with seating for up to 20 is also available.

Terra and New Valley have broken ground on Natura Gardens, a 27-acre multifamily development encompassing 460 garden-style rental apartments. The news comes approximately one year after the partnership finalized the purchase of a 72-acre development site in northwest Miami-Dade and as the joint venture also completes the sale of the parcel’s remaining 45 acres to Butters and Greystar for $53.5 million. Site work at Natura Gardens is currently underway, with vertical construction expected to take place in Spring 2021. Delivery is anticipated in early 2022.

“Northwest Miami-Dade is experiencing a surge of demand for new residential and commercial development, which is why we initially zeroed in on this parcel as a prime development site,” said Terra CEO David Martin. “Shortly after our JV announced plans for Natura Gardens, we were approached by several developers that shared our vision for bringing new housing options and infrastructure to this part of the County, and that opened the door to selling our originally planned second and third phases of the development site to Butters and Greystar. This is a good example of how forward-looking development that meets market demand can serve as a magnet for new investment in underserved areas.”

Situated along NW 170th Street between I-75 and Florida’s Turnpike, Natura Gardens is located a short drive from several of South Florida’s largest employers, including Boeing, Royal Caribbean International, Preferred Freezer Services, and The Home Depot.

Tour GameStop Short Seller Gabriel Plotkin of Melvin Capital’s $44 Million North Bay Road Mega-Mansion

Miami Beach’s newest, ultra-luxurious mega-mansion has been unveiled by EWM Realty International top-producer and Senior Vice President Nelson Gonzalez. The newly-completed modern masterpiece has been designed to offer the ultimate in waterfront living and year-round entertainment.

Melvin Capital’s Gabriel Plotkin has been in the news quite a bit recently after his hedge fund may have posted a loss in the billions in the stock market shorting GameStop. Plotkin made his first splash when he acquired the Choeff Levy Fischman-designed 6360 North Bay Road and 6342 North Bay Road on Miami Beach in November 2020 for $44 million. He then applied to demolish an 80-year-old home on the 6342 North Bay Road site to build a tennis court for the compound.

The residence at 6360 North Bay Road was designed by Choeff Levy Fischman and completed in 2018. The home offers the ultimate in waterfront living and year-round entertainment. eight-bedroom eight-bath main house, a four-bedroom four-bath guesthouse, and a cabana house. The ultra-luxe modern home was designed to blend the outdoors with inside with floor-to-ceiling glass sliding walls. The mansion is spread over 13,381 square foot with 2,700 square foot of covered outdoor space and a 3,000 square foot rooftop deck which offers sweeping panoramas of Biscayne Bay and sunsets over the water. The backyard features a resort-style mosaic glass pool, built-in spa, detached cabana house, and a summer kitchen. The 27,608 SF lot features a new 60’ pier dock and seawall with 112’ of waterfrontage.

Melvin Capital suffered serious losses after his short position in GameStop was targeted by members of the Reddit community Wall Street Bets. The group of retail traders pooled together to drive up GameStop’s market price and squeeze out short-sellers. Melvin Capital received a $2.75 billion bailout following the trading fallout from Ken Griffin’s Citadel and Steven Cohen’s Point72. Melvin Capital previously had $13 billion under management.
