Coming Soon – Bayview Market in the Arts District of Miami

May 1, 2009 by Lucas Lechuga
Bayview Market

Earlier this week, the Miami Today News reported that construction is scheduled to begin on Bayview Market in the first quarter of 2010.  The commercial development will consist of up to 535,000 square feet of retail and office space and cost approximately $200M.  The 7.35 acre site will be located in the Arts District of Miami on the corner of NE 17 Street and NE Second Avenue and will include big-box retailers and a supermarket.

Bayview Market has been a highly anticipated commercial development in Miami and will be a great boon for the Arts District as well as Downtown.  Both neighborhoods currently lack quality retailers and a nice supermarket.  Lowe's, the home improvement store, will act as one of the anchor stores at Bayview Market. It is estimated that the development should take about 18 months to complete.

It will be nice to have more shopping near downtown. A grocery store is long overdue. Put a WalMart on the other corner and it will be great. The Mid-Town (Target) is nice and the garage parking is a great design. The Omni shopping seems doubtful since people prefer more open space today. Now if they would run a train up those rusty tracks so customers didn’t need to drive it would be more urban.

Wild Bill

This is the Slum District, not the Arts District. This project will never happen. Midtown Miami is already failing.

Isabel

Wild Bill…MidTown is hardly failing in terms of the initial tenants. The only closure has been Linens & Things and that was part of a nationwide bankruptcy of the chain.

Now, have they been successful in leasing all of the space? No, of course not. But the initial phase has indeed been successful and is obviously weathering the current economy just fine.

Drew

Unless all the homeowners from Miami Beach decide to shop at Lowe’s, I doubt it make it in that location…empty condos don’t generate business neither do renters who have no right to perform any “home improvement.”

AJ

It is so friggin wierd coincidence. I have visited MCI after a long time and I have to find this post. Unbelievable coincidence. OK, today for the first time I went visiting Madison Condos and Park on Bay Apts in Park West. The views from the later are really nice. I was quite surprised. The location is not that bad. Next for the first time I went visiting Parc Lofts and the filling station. The parc Lofts valet is busily parking very expensive cars including a lamb. Snow White ladies and Gentlemen look as if they are about to go… Read more »

the streetcar is a great idea. i mentioned this months ago. the entire brickell/biscayne stretch is perfect for a streetcar. will definitely make the downtown miami area more pedestrian/resident friendly.

Seriously AJ, do write romance novels or something….it is getting a bit deep.

Drew

I am now thoroughly convinced that AJ is actually City of Miami District 2 Commissioner Marc Sarnoff…because I can think of no other person who could have such an agenda in shamelessly promoting the Pace Park area.

And WTF are “snow white ladies?” Christ.

1800 Club location is fine but your delusional to say Madison and Park On Bay location is not bad. And Park On Bay is nowhere near the bay.
And yeah wtf are snow white ladies and gentlemen?

Remember that SNL ad for “Bad Idea Jeans”?

IT is great that they are building it. IT is very much needed in the area. I hope the supermarket is going to be a good one. In re to Cynergi. I visited it in 2004- beginning of 2005. Due to the spike of prices I think that prices were around $300/sq.ft. I thought that it was too high considering emerging location but I looked at some developer’s lofts in the building and I loved them. IT was a real artistic nest. So if they can survive this dowturn eventually it can be a very attractive place. Unless it is… Read more »

Cynergi is totally foreclosed. The whole building is for sale

I heard yesterday that Cyerngi is under contract for $8.5M with a few back-up offers. 4 units closed. The remaining 96 units are now under contract as well as a 6,600 square foot commercial space. It works out to about $88 per square foot.

Wild Bill

The downtown Miami area needs another 10,000 residential units to make all this retail space work. Not going to happen. When I mentioned Midtown as a failure I was thinking of the original plans compared to what is their now. Linens-n-Things and Circuit City spaces are now empty. National retailers are closing under performing stores. Miami is an under performing city. These retailers don’t open stores because a few people in new condos want or need them. They have to do studies of the entire surrounding areas. Remember my six block rule.

Joe on the go

DREW …..is AJ talking about “COCAINE” is that what snow white ladies means???What is all this coming to???

jcrimes

isabel – two of the anchor tenants are bust with nobody coming in to fill that space ANYTIME soon. west elm…i wouldn’t be surprised if it folds up shop as well. aside from the commercial space, half of the residential project has been scrapped, with no chance of it going forward for at least another five years. i hardly consider midtown to be what it was originally planned (not to mention, will they ever get rid of the damn railroad tracks running alongside the project? it’s a dump) aj – i’ve always been a fan of parclofts although i think… Read more »

Hahahaha! Snow white ladies!?

I tried to negotiate with the agent at icon but they will not drop the rent. They claim the units are filling up fast. 18% rented. No negotiation with jorge…

I passed. Too condescending for my tastes.

jcrimes

BMW
what were they asking? i heard 2 large for a small one bedroom.

regardless the rental income doesn’t cover the monthly nut on the loan and certainly not the balloon. not to mention, the hotel aspect of the loan can’t be “rented”…and that space ain’t getting sold anytime soon.

AJ

Finally visited the Midtown Buildings. I always loved Midtown and its open air Mall and pedestrian roads. If I was not such a sucker for being at the water front and have unrestricted waterviews, I would have lived in Midtown. OK, I like the Mid block but it is not for sale. So I looked at Midtown 4 (I already saw M2 last year). The 7th floor pool deck looks great. The views are nothing to sneeze at. The gym is so so. I liked the lobby very much. The sales guy then takes me around, shows me the only… Read more »

wild bill, its true its an underperforming city but retailers sometimes tend to open stores in areas =which anybody with common sense knows they wont make $, and then they stay open for several years…..so they could get tenants, although with credit so tight and job losses , etc…….it looks like a long shot……theres going to be alot of banks closing branches all over the place as well…………

anybody ever been inside the bank 81 st and us 1 ???

corus bank stock is 30 cents hello !!! put a fork in it

jcrimes

AJ
if you believe what he’s shoveling…come on. those people that signed a lease to own would be stupid to buy at a price they went to contract at a year ago…six months ago…o even three months ago. just look at the prices in mid2 where real unit closings occurred (did you ask the sales guy how many actual buyers closed in mid4?). huge dropoff.

as for cynergi…no f$%king way. unless you’re prepared to live there for ten years and don’t mind driving all the time to places where there are actually things to do.

jcrimes

the bank is nice but in the middle of nowhere.

yeah but you could rent it out pretty easy i bet ??? and maybe get a unit for 100 ish ??

Richard

Mid Town will be great by 2015 so the Bank on 81st should be great by 2030??? What happened to the plans for 2 towers on 79th and Biscayne across from immigration. Location Location.

Isabel

==reminds me of the home depot the built on 23 rd st in nyc, it closed a while back==

Drew 299…your information is unreliable. I live 2 blocks from the Home Depot on 23rd in NYC and it is still very much open. Just sayin’!

AJ

Drivers in Miami are F@#$%^n crazy. I just hate them. 90% are arseholes. They peel off at 60 miles an hour to a red light 50 meters away, not to speak of other horrible horrible acts of “driving” (if you could call that). I personally will never buy a used car. But anyone thinks of doing it, check to make sure it was never registered or driven in South Florida. 100% possible they beat the shit out of that car.

isabel,

unless they converted it to a egular home depot which i cant believe, its done…..they are closing down the whole division…..(I FORGET THE NAME) BUT ITS LIKE A HOME DEPOT FOR CITY FOLK

pass by and ask a cashier how much longer they will have a j o b

BMW M3

they were asking a little under 1700 for the one bedroom at icon.. I think with all the um student leases ending early this month, Everglades opening up, and wanabes upgrading to icon, the rental market will really collapse by June…..

Drew

Home Depot recently announced they are shutting down their all-Spanish web site. They discovered that about 50% of the site traffic came from outside the US…which is funny because they don’t even ship anything internationally.

how big was the one bedroom? i was told 2k for the 750sq ft 1bd line.

Price choice? Excuse me I’ve been to price choice and I must say other then a large amount of homeless people outside ,the staff was not bi-lingual and only spoke Spanish and I needed to return somthing and was treated like a criminal with them stating that they don’t refund anything unless it’s damaged.. Rude manager. Price choice is for thee consumer with no transportation and very little options.

BMW M3

I was told I could get a pretty hooked up 1 bdrm in Everglades with more square feet than marina blue for less money ~1300/month…unfortunately I like the finishes in marina blue better. The finishes are equal quality, just different styles.

I’ve heard noise complaints about marina blue. Anyone with info on this?

lara

AJ,

I hope you’ll go to Edgewater meeting at 4p.m. today. Also if you cannot then I would ask George who posted info about this meeting to report a brief summary of the meeting. I am very curious and would like to know since I have my investments in this area.

Also is there any website for this organization or at least email where people who are out of towners but invested in the area can communicate?

Thank you

george

Lara Re #42

The meeting is at 6:30 PM -not 4 pm -at 2426 NE 2nd Ave.
The guy in charge is Richard Strell and his email : [email protected]

Everglades says they closed 100 units. They encourage rent to own with all the rent going toward purchase price. They are looking for offers on purchases and salesman said would run them by the bank (out of developers hands???) 4 pools but water view nothing to write home about.

isabel
you said something along the lines that midtown is a success. maybe in five/ten years that synopsis will ring true…but definitely not today.

Wild Bill

I was implying that Miami has several million feet of empty commercial space. The two bankruptcies at Midtown open up more unused space. South Beach is just finishing a project with 185,000 feet of more retail. Midtown is a failure. Park West is a failure. Jungle Island is a failure. Old Miami Arena is a failure. Bayside Marketplace is a failure. Miami Herald is a failure. Omni is a failure. Downtown Macy’s is a failure. Homeless sex offenders living under a bridge, another failure. No movie theater in your are means even Magic Johnson cinemas thinks Miami is a failure.… Read more »
