Tenant Update: Brickell City Centre
The 500,000 square-foot shopping center, anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and Cinemax, is set to open in November. Co-developers Whitman Family Development and Simon Property Group recently announced new additions to its diverse roster: Armani Collezioni, Intermix, Audemars Piguet, Diptyque, Pandora, Stuart Weitzman, Italia Independent, and the largest Apple store in Florida. The mall will bring a mix of luxury and accessible brands to an under-served market, while creating hundreds of local jobs.
City Center will appeal to foodies as well: an Italian food hall the likes of which has yet to open in Florida - until now - will be debuted, along with a variety of familiar and new eateries like Dr. Smood, Luke’s Lobster, Haagen Dazs, Pasion del Cielo, and Pubbelly Sushi.
The mall will be conveniently accessible by a Metromover stop and will have an underground garage to accommodate the influx of traffic.
1212 Lincoln Road
A new mixed-use development is heading to Miami Beach's Lincoln Road, with an expected completion of 2017. The Miami Beach Design Review Board approved the long awaited plans after a 1 year extension as tenants relocated. The newly approved development will be a five-story building filled with a mix of a hotel, luxury retail and dining. The hotel will include 100 boutique hotel units across 45,000 SF with a European-style market in the 93,000 SF of retail space. The building will be designed by Perkins + Will and will help upgrade the existing aging infrastructure that currently makes up Lincoln Road. The project will help expand Lincoln Road across the street at 16th and Alton. Developer Crescent Heights has plans to build 2 more developments on Lincoln Road as this neighborhood gets an exciting shake-up.
Bentley Residences Miami hosted the Torcal’s Florida debut, pairing Bentley’s first fully electric production vehicle with a tour of its model residence and private garage.
