Miami Worldcenter Retail 84% Leased, Four New Restaurants Announced

Miami Worldcenter is getting four new restaurant brands, all opening in 2024.

The $6 billion development includes a total of 300,000 square feet of retail, restaurant, and entertainment space.

With the latest announcements, Miami Worldcenter’s retail space is now approximately 84% leased.

The newly announced restaurants include:

  • Serafina  – based in New York, with 46 locations across the eastern U.S. and in 8 countries. The new restaurant will occupy 8,176 square feet of space at 652 NE 1st Avenue, Suite H-144, with outdoor patio seating along the development’s 7th Street pedestrian promenade
  • Sixty Vines – known as “the wine lover’s restaurant,” the restaurant has locations across the country in Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida. Sixty Vines’ Miami Worldcenter location will occupy 8,672 square feet of space at 150 NE 8th Street, Suite F-135, with outdoor patio seating overlooking the World Square public plaza
  • BurgerFi and Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings – will be a dual-concept restaurant. The location will have 3,835 square feet of space, located at 851 NE 1st Ave., Suite C-114

Ariete Hospitality Group’s Michelin-star-rated Chef Michael Beltran recently opened three restaurants at Worldcenter – Brasserie Laurel, Chug’s Express, and El Vecino Cigar & Cocktail Bar

Two additional restaurants are expected to open soon, Earls Kitchen & Bar and Chicago’s Maple & Ash.

“Food is a significant factor when people make decisions about where they want to live, work or visit and we have worked diligently to cultivate an array of appealing and popular concepts at Miami Worldcenter,” said Shaul Kuba, Co-Founder and Principal, CIM Group. The company is a partner in Worldcenter, and is co-leading leasing along with The Comras Company.

The World Square in front of the new Sixty Vines restaurant will be a 20,000-square-foot outdoor public plaza and park.

It is being designed as a central gathering place with an abundance of open space, shade trees, and oversized, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks lined with dining, entertainment, and retail concepts.

I want those NYC restaurants in Wynwood to move closer – no clue why they are opening there. They should open closer to Park West and Brickell.

Because Wynwood is absolutely exploding with growth, both residential and commercial.

Wynwood is the future for Miami. It should be seen as a good thing that the city’s urban geography is expanding.

It’s a suburb and no metro mover, and too far away from the core to enjoy.

“other cities” have a better citywide transportation system. the archaic metromover needs to extend up through wynwood to midtown.

Anon

Until then it will be a suburb like it was ORIGINALLY planned. You don’t put the cart before the horse. So Miami SMH – we have plenty of areas around the metro mover that could be updated to be cool like Wynwood. So annoying.

Only if the whole damn thing is rebuilt with bigger cars, and trains of at least three cars, otherwise it’s… archaic and unfeasible to expand beyond its capacity and original purpose.

It’s a 2-mile stretch from the southern tip of Brickell to the northern edge of downtown, where the mover operates. However, if you prefer a more compact core, head west where we have an amazing metro mover and rail system and even waterfront property.

It was a platted as a suburb that’s why there’s so many single family homes still there.

There are single family homes in Brickell.

So explain the historic single-family homes in Riverside, Southside (Brickell west of Miami Avenue), and Lummus Park, both neighborhoods encompassed in Miami’s original Knowlton plat from 1896.

Anonymous

Brickell once extended across Southside from the bay to 95, with a few mansions left. Edgewater wasn’t originally core, hence no metro mover or rail access. While high-rises were absent in the past, now there are downtown-style development plans. Surprisingly, transit expansion doesn’t match the existing buzz. Downtown has empty spaces, and places around the Metromover could adopt a hipster chic, like NYC. Is stretching beyond our infrastructure solely cost-effective for developers? This approach seems rushed, fixing one issue but creating more. Focusing on existing areas over extending the Metromover sounds more reasonable.

If Wynwood, which yes currently is very busy and fair to say has good restaurants, is the future of Miami, then the future is dark. Wynwood is a recession area concept meant to capitalize on foot traffic. I see many retail stores not resign leases, yet the restaurants seem to be doing well.

On the northside of MWC, there is a narrow rectangular lot just west of Hadid building on

for Legacy. I have noticed construction equipment there for a few weeks now. Anyone know
what might be going up there?

That’s the Naftali building. They are building a luxury highrise with retail at the base. Naftali is known for producing high end buildings in New York, usually collaborating with RAMSA. For their first Miami building, they’ve selected a glassy design by Arquitectonica with a gold-toned perforated metal base – complimenting Zaha Hadid’s design next door.

Anon

Though I love Robert Stern, the perforated metal base of the naftali project compliments the perforated base of 1000M really well, architecturally. The design is glassy and modest, and IMO a perfect sister building for 1000M. I’m not sure one of Sterns classical UES high rises would be appropriate on this specific lot.

The next Miami shouldn’t be just skyscrapers. Theatres, art galeries, museums, pubs & restaurants, bowlings, cinemas, entertainments… the offer is soooo limited. Also the city needs to fix the streets and invest in public transportation. No more useless meetings. It’s urgent. Start now.

Two different concepts. Brickell City Center has more things now since it’s been fully opened for a few years now. I personally like how World Center has more street level restaurants and bars, how it’s more integratedwithe city, and more public space. BCC can sometimes feel like a fortress especially since the 3-story Italian food hall closed.

BCC has become more than just a shopping destination. There is lifestyle entertainment, and a sight to see in of itself, and it’s really woven into the fabric of the entire neighborhood branching out to all the nearby blocks, and its impact continues to inspire new blocks of retail, residences, and restaurants. BCC will always be No. 1
