One Million-Square-Foot Wynwood Plaza Financed, Will Begin Construction Immediately

The developers of The Wynwood Plaza have obtained $215 million in construction financing.

They have also announced that two full floors of office space have been pre-leased.

With full project financing now in place, major construction will commence immediately with full completion anticipated in 2025, the developers said in a press release.

Gensler is designing the project, and is also the architect of record.

The Wynwood Plaza will include one of the largest outdoor public plazas in Miami, at 26,000 square feet. James Corner Field Operation, which designed the Underline, is designing outdoor spaces at the project.

There will be 32,000 square feet of retail, including 6,600 square feet of outdoor dining.

A 12-story office tower will have approximately 266,000 square feet of space.

Claure Group, led by Marcelo Claure, will establish its headquarters in 25,400 square feet across the entire eighth floor. Weitz & Luxenberg, an acclaimed nationwide law firm, will open its first Miami office in 18,000 square feet across the second floor.

There will also be residences, with 509 luxury rental apartments.

Developers L&L Holding, Oak Row Equities, alongside project partner Shorenstein Properties and co-investor Claure Group, secured the loan from Bank OZK.

Dustin Stolly and Jordan Roeschlaub of Newmark represented L&L Holding and Oak Row Equities in capitalizing the project, while Scott Wadler and Michael Basinski of Berkadia arranged the Bank OZK financing.

One of my favorite projects coming to Wynwood. Definitely going to help with bridging Wynwood and Midtown together!

What happened to the offers that were supposed to be installed?

The City should add better lit paved walkways and date palm trees on SW 2nd and 1st Avenues and more roundabouts in this part (like they added around the Brightline). It’s almost like there is different leadership in the public facing part of Brickell here, or maybe it’s just taking more time to get up to speed with tasteful improvements.

The Brickell metro stop around the Underline needs enhancements like the streetscapes being proposed in non-metro neighborhoods like Wynwood.

Didn’t the BCC stop just get a full renovation? I think it’s also receiving an elevated walkway to connect it to 1BCC.

Brickell is coming along great – we don’t even have undergrounder power lines in wynwood

I think the City waits for new developments to drop the lines. The City Centre stop is really nice. Around the Brickell stop has gotten better but still has above ground poles. There’s also dark cross walks that drivers speed through, rusted planters and I leveled sidewalks. Hopefully this area gets improved along with Wynwood.

roundabouts are terrible for pedestrians, they are meant for highway intersections so the cars don’t have to stop when they turn

Brickell Gateway Proposal

Well there needs to be a better way of slowing traffic on SW2nd to allow people to cross. Maybe speed bumps and lighting? Traffic lights could be added but that may backup traffic.

There’s a new middle school, and lots of schools including a preschool, and there’s only one blinking yellow light traffic stopper along the entire avenue. it’s very hard to see the yellow blinking light, and often people speed through them… it’s dangerous.

Should we add school zone signs and cameras that fine people for speeding? That’s the standard approach in most school zones.

SW 2nd could also turn some of the narrow parking spots into actual turning lanes (people use them as turning lanes as is).

This will be a good growth spot after the City finishes building out and modernizing road /bike/pedestrian infrastructure and landscaping in Downtown and Brickell.

We need more density and complete infrastructure around existing metro lines and then should budget for metro to Wynwood.

Game-changer for Wynwood – hope the city starts on that master plan for the streetscape sometime soon

Once they’re done with the Metromover study to stick giant flyovers over the streets, making any streetscape improvements pointless. Take your pick, free electric beer can to go to a bar with overpriced beer, or undergrounded utility poles and shade trees.

They could buy a car, but then they wouldn’t have any beer money.

Elevate Existing Metro Masterplan
10 months ago

I’d love to see a metro in Wynwood but also want to make sure existing metros get attention and nice planning.

Is the Brickell area around the Underline going to get a study and drop the utility poles and add unified landscaping?

There’s already a metro stop here in Brickell and throughout downtown and south Miami, and many that need to be worked on at the same time if not sooner…

I’d love to see ROYAL and DATE palm trees on SW 2nd and 1st Avenues and more roundabouts in this part like they added around the Brightline.

When you say “Metro”, what do you mean?
A MetroMover, a MetroRail, a metropolitan area, a GEO Metro, a Metrosexual?
What?

Anon

Can we call all the metros the metro. It’s confusing to distinguish the “Metromover” from the “metrorail”. Can it be one unified system, even if the cars and tracks are different and funded by different sources? This would at least stop people from wasting time thinking of which extension will be a mover versus a rail.

They could be two separate lines, like an orange line and a green line (using UM colors to illustrate the concept.)

They are already doing work at the base of this future building. 29th st will be impressive soon.

Aside from the pedestrian level entourage, the design is bland at best. Mies would be proud.

Metromover and a trirail station on 29th st.

From what I hear metrorail is significantly nicer than Metromover

Overdevelopment is ruining Wynwood. This neighborhood used to be cool until all the construction started popping up. That’s why Miami cant have hip neighborhoods cause of the constant construction and over priced apts and condos.

Downtown north of the Miami River will be exactly like Wynnwood in a few years, cool hip urban nightlife and restaurants, with a metro stop there.

Overtown has potential too from the plans I’m seeing.

Nothing is more cool, hip, or urban than a Metro.
