CATCH Returning To Miami Beach After Signing Lease With Robert Rivani's Black Lion At Continuum Space

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.”

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.

Fueled by Miami's Growing Tech Sector, Wynwood's Luxury Residential Market Continues to Skyrocket

As tech companies and financial institutions flock to the graffiti-soaked streets of the Wynwood Arts District, Miami’s cultural and creative capital is swiftly becoming the city’s tech epicenter — and that’s having a profound impact on luxury residential sales, including several record-breaking transactions.

The former warehouse district turned canvas for contemporary street art is now home to some of the country’s most innovative companies, including Spotify, Live Nation, PwC and venture capital firms Founders Fund and Atomic — all of which recently opened offices in Wynwood.

“Wynwood is the destination of choice for relocating tech and finance firms and their respective talent, many of whom are looking to put down roots in Miami,” said Nick Pérez, Senior Vice President for real estate powerhouse, Related Group. “It’s undoubtedly become one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in what is already a white-hot residential real estate market.”

As a neighborhood pioneer, Related was the first residential developer to enter Wynwood, delivering the neighborhood’s first newly-built residential property, Wynwood 25. With its 2019 opening, Related kicked off a wave of development that has since transformed the area into one of the hottest residential markets in the country. Related alone has a total portfolio, including units completed and under development, of more than 1,250 luxury rental apartments in Wynwood, with practically zero vacancies.

Now, the developer is betting big on the future of Wynwood’s luxury condominium market. Earlier this year, Related, in partnership with New York-based developer Tricap, introduced the NoMad Residences Wynwood, the first hospitality-infused condominium in the area. As the first residential concept from the global hospitality icon, NoMad Hotels, the property is seeing significant demand from buyers. In fact, the developer reports having signed contracts on more than 50% of the homes, including a unit at roughly $2,000 per square foot, shattering neighborhood price records.

“Many in the industry thought we had lost touch when they saw how much we were investing in the area,” adds Pérez. “Fortunately, our bet paid off big and today we’re the single most active developer in the area. Much like we did with our rental projects, we hope to set an example that other condo developers can follow. Not only are we delivering a high-quality product that buyers can be proud to call home, but doing so in a way that is authentic to Wynwood.”

Designed in collaboration with globally-renowned partners DesignAgency and Arquitectonica, the nine-story NoMad Residences Wynwood offers 329 turnkey condominium homes. Layouts range from studios to two bedrooms, each featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies. All units will come fully furnished, with packages thoughtfully curated by DesignAgency.

Developed with no rental restrictions, buyers will also have the option to rent their units to guests for any length of time. An expert in-house property management team will spearhead check-in and check-out and assist unit owners with the overall process.

Surrounding the property is a vibrant, walkable community that boasts over 70 art galleries, luxury boutiques, seven Michelin-star and many five-star restaurants, and the world-famous Wynwood Walls. Much like how NoMad New York helped transform Manhattan’s North of Madison enclave into one of the city’s most in-demand neighborhoods, Related and NoMad anticipate this new property will contribute to Wynwood’s impending growth.

At the heart of this promise is the property’s best-in-class food and beverage offerings, which will be open to the public and include a signature rooftop restaurant and mixology bar concept, The NoMad Bar. The restaurant will be helmed by James Beard Award Winner Leo Robitschek, VP of Food and Beverage at Sydell Group and the former Bar Director for New York City’s three-Michelin Star restaurant Eleven Madison Park. On NoMad Wynwood’s ground floor, residents and the community will be able to enjoy a Casa Tua Cucina, an expansive open-kitchen concept offering simple, yet expertly crafted Italian and Mediterranean fare.

In addition to the showstopping eatery and bar, the development offers a full suite of resort-style amenities, including an expansive rooftop lounge with striking panoramic views of downtown Miami, a fully serviced pool and sun deck, private cabanas, and a state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor fitness lounge. The signature NoMad Library and Lounge, located on the ninth floor, will serve as a secondary resident hub, featuring NoMad-curated experiences and events, ample shared workspaces, and more.

Additional on-site highlights include an outdoor theater with a seating lawn and grilling area, 24/7 valet service, and museum-quality art handpicked from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection.

NoMad Residences Wynwood has achieved several important construction milestones, including the application for permits after the building’s plans were approved by the Urban Development Review Board. The sales team has also begun converting reservations to contracts.

Pricing for NoMad Wynwood’s available units begins at $600,000. For more information or to arrange a private tour of the sales gallery, please visit nomadwynwood.com or call (786) 437-3355.

Robert Rivani's Black Lion Investment Group Expands South Beach Holdings With One Ocean Acquisition For $12.25 Million

Real estate investor Robert Rivani’s Black Lion Investment Group has expanded their South Beach holdings with the acquisition of the ground floor restaurant space in One Ocean, a 50-unit luxury condominium building in Miami Beach’s exclusive South of Fifth neighborhood. Rivani paid $12.25 million for the space which offers an indoor area of 10,404 SF and an outdoor area of 3,588 SF. The property is at the intersection of South Pointe and Ocean Drive, surrounded by high-end retail and residential towers including Continuum South Beach and Apogee.

The transaction was overseen by Fabio and Sebastian Faerman of FA Commercial who represented Black Lion. Rivani plans to bring a world-class restaurant from a global hospitality brand to the space.

“South of Fifth is one of the hottest neighborhoods in the world and we wanted to own another piece of it,” said Robert Rivani. “I have assembled a powerhouse portfolio of fine dining hospitality locations along South Pointe Drive totaling over 50,000 square feet. Our vision is to impact the industry with our foothold in the market and proven track record for conceptualizing unique lifestyle experiences and bringing in global brands–kickstarting a domino effect that will set the precedent for future cities to follow.”

Rivani now controls what he has dubbed “Restaurant Row” on South Pointe Drive which includes roughly 19,000 SF at the nearby Marea which he acquired for $19 million and the 12,000 SF restaurant space at Continuum South Beach for $11.5 million, which announced Catch as their future tenant today.

Rivani specializes in acquisition and ownership of flagship restaurant properties, having quickly expanded his South Florida holdings with the acquisition of over $100 million in commercial real estate assets across South Florida. Black Lion’s recent acquisitions include the restaurant space in Marea which features Kosushi and RED Steakhouse as tenants, the restaurant space in One Thousand Museum, SLS LUX’s restaurant space which now features Gekko by David Grutman and Bad Bunny, Continuum South Beach which today announced Catch as its future tenant, the Amara at Paraiso space which features the bayfront Amara restaurant operated by Chef Michael Schwartz, Wynwood Jungle which will soon welcome Fables Supper Club and the soon-to-open Delilah at the Brickell Bay boardwalk.

Former CEO of SoftBank Marcelo Claure Lists Vacant North Bay Road Lot For $39.9 Million Complete With Permitted Plans By Iconic Architect Kobi Karp

The former CEO of SoftBank, Marcelo Claure, has listed one of the largest and most spectacular waterfront vacant lots to recently enter the Miami Beach prime property market for $39.9 million. The property is listed with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty Senior Vice President and top-producer Nelson Gonzalez and comes complete with fully permitted plans by renowned architect Kobi Karp.

Presented for $39.9 million, the listing, 5212 North Bay Road, is an expansive, 27,334-square-foot vacant lot – equating to $1,459 per square foot. The property offers 150 feet on Biscayne Bay, providing stunning, unobstructed panoramas of the Miami skyline, sunset, and Biscayne Bay. The vacant property’s availability is unique for the area, which currently has few, if any, empty lots for sale, and none comparable to this property’s size and scope.

The property comes with permitted plans by internationally revered architect Kobi Karp, whose vision calls for a nine-bedroom, 14-bath (eight full-bath and six half-bath) mansion with 14,000 square feet of lavish interiors, an abundance of amenities, and extraordinary exterior spaces, including a rooftop that has been positioned to capture the sheer magnitude and entirety of the views. A new seawall and dock are also currently under construction.

“This is a landmark opportunity for a savvy buyer who’s looking to build their waterfront dream home,” said Gonzalez. “For someone seeking a large piece of land with the best price and location, this listing cannot be overlooked. And because of Kobi’s permitted designs, a buyer can put a shovel in the ground on the day they close.”

Featuring a central and tranquil location, the property is additionally located within minutes of the La Gorce Country Club and golf course, beaches, the Sunset Harbour and Bal Harbour neighborhoods, downtown Miami, and the Brickell financial district.
