New Restaurants to Open at Miami Worldcenter in 2024
The long list of tenants at Miami Worldcenter, a $6 billion, 27-acre mixed-use complex remaking the center of Downtown Miami, will grow by four national food and beverage concepts.
A dual-concept location for BurgerFi and Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings has been signed by the development’s ownership group, as well as leases with Serafina, an internationally renowned Italian restaurant group founded in New York City; Sixty Vines, a sustainable restaurant with an exciting wine-on-tap program and food inspired by vineyards.
The development’s exceptional lineup of recently opened food and beverage outlets, which already includes three concepts from Michelin-starred Chef Michael Beltran of Ariete Hospitality Group’s Brasserie Laurel, Chug’s Express, and El Vecino Cigar & Cocktail Bar, as well as two more eateries anticipated to open soon, Earls Kitchen & Bar and Chicago’s Maple & Ash, will be strengthened by the development’s newest restaurants, which are anticipated to open in 2024.
The 300,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment space at Miami Worldcenter, one of the largest privately owned and developed urban real estate developments in Florida, complement the diverse mix of residential, commercial, and hospitality uses that it offers. Approximately 84% of the retail space in the property is leased. In collaboration with CIM Group, Miami Worldcenter is being built by master developers Miami Worldcenter Associates, headed by Managing Partners Art Falcone and Nitin Motwani.
Ten city blocks make up Miami Worldcenter, which is next to Museum Park, home to the Frost Museum of Science and Pérez Art Museum Miami, Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, and Wolfson Campus of Miami Dade College. Miami Worldcenter is the largest and best-connected transit-oriented development in Florida thanks to its proximity to Brightline’s MiamiCentral station, which provides direct train service to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando and access to Tri-Rail, the Metromover, and the Metrorail.

The Wharf Miami to Close and Reopen as Riverside Wharf
The Wharf, a Miami River outdoor entertainment destination that influenced the direction of regional hospitality, is officially closing. Breakwater Hospitality’s waterfront gathering place, which debuted in 2017, is making way for the Riverside Wharf project, which is anticipated to break ground before the year’s end.
A new iteration of The Wharf is one of the development’s goals. However, the 30,000 square foot original Wharf Miami, which featured seven bars, five culinary concepts, and 185 feet of dock space, will no longer exist
The 10-story Riverside Wharf project will also have a new wharf, a 30,000 square foot nightclub and rooftop dayclub, 16,000 square feet of eateries, a 12,000 square foot event space, and a marina in addition to the opulent Dream Hotel. The new home’s architecture was created by Cube3 architects’ Jon Cardello, with help from iCrave for the interior design and Savino-Miller Design Studio for the exterior landscaping.
Along with erecting a new seawall to prevent sea level rise, the developers are also constructing a new public riverwalk on the property. Additionally, there will be a Garcia’s Fish Market where people may purchase fresh fish. According to Mantecon, the new Wharf will have a similar design to the first one but be a permanent structure rather than a pop-up. There will be new eating concepts, with chefs working in dedicated kitchens rather than food trailers. However, don’t anticipate an elegant, red carpet setting.
The Wharf Miami will officially be closing on September 17th, and of course, there must be a party or two to say goodbye. The venue has a history of hosting theme parties, and according to Guerra, they intend to celebrate all the memories shared by bringing out all the old favorite props.
One of the parties is schedule for Friday, September 15, 4 p.m.–3 a.m., 114 SW North River Dr., Miami. includes enormous inflatables and unique bars with particular themes, such as Christmas, the ’90s, Blowfish & Friends, St. Patrick’s Day, and Cinco de Mayo. The last party will take place on September 16th from 12 noon to 3 a.m. With an RSVP, the first 500 visitors can spin the prize wheel to win prizes.
Tesla to Open 3rd Florida Sales Center in Miami
The third service and sales facility for Tesla is slated to open in Miami-Dade County. The multi-million dollar project would need to renovate a 78,026-square-foot warehouse that was originally built in 1984.
Additionally, 150 parking spaces are planned, with 2/3 of them being outside the structure. The 5.3-acre construction site was purchased by EV 9900 LLC in late 2021 for $19.75 million. The building wasn’t occupied when it was purchased.
The original structure will be transformed into a service center, showroom, and office space in accordance with Tesla’s concept. This would entail that the facility would be open for the transfer of new cars to owners, the acceptance of end-of-lease vehicles, and the provision of basic services like tire repair and software upgrades.
The project was created by Stantec. It shared conceptual illustrations of a mid-rise glass structure with many web outlets. The proposal will be presented to Miami-Dade city officials on August 23, 2023, according to Tesla North.
If permitted, the business would complement the Tesla service centers that are already located in Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. The business may be found in Miami-Dade County at 9950 N.W. 25th St., Miami, FL, 33172. The construction would be located north of Dolphin Expressway.

Bentley Residences Set to Break Ground in Q4 of 2023
Following the start of sales in early 2022, this innovative development has quickly elevated Bentley Residences to the top of Miami’s real estate market. Dezer Development’s brilliant auto-inspired design has generated a lot of attention and heralded a new era in Miami’s real estate future.
Bentley Residences will be better positioned for success as a result of the next development milestones, which include the impending demolition of the current site and the highly anticipated groundbreaking.
Bentley Residences is planned to rise 62 stories at 18401 Collins Avenue in Miami’s Sunny Isles Beach district, offering 216 luxurious units with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects in collaboration with Bentley Motor’s unmistakable design trademarks, craftsmanship, and exquisite details. The homes will include all doors, knobs, and pulls with Bentley’s distinctive textured handles, chrome finishes, and famous diamond patterning.
Each residence features extensive outdoor terraces with sundecks and private heated pools, top-tier Gaggenau kitchen appliances, roomy interiors with 10-foot ceilings, Italian kitchen cabinets with motorized door handles, premium quality stone countertops, backsplashes, and master bathroom saunas. The Dezervator, a cutting-edge car elevator that delivers vehicles and people directly to their apartments, is a major highlight.
Bentley Residences, which spans 3.6 acres of Sunny Isles beachfront, offers 20,000 square feet of facilities over three levels, evoking a luxurious five-star resort vibe. The extensive amenities include an oceanfront beauty salon, cabanas, a well-being spa, a wellness center, a whiskey and cigar bar, a wellness cinema, and a private dining establishment created by renowned celebrity chef Todd English. Beginning in 2023, work is anticipated to be finished in 2026. Pricing starts at $5.6 million.
Jeff Bezos Buys Waterfront Mansion on Indian Creek Island for $68 Million
Third-richest man in the world and billionaire Jeff Bezos reportedly paid $68 million for a waterfront mansion on Miami’s Indian Creek Island. An organization that bought the demolished home at 11 Indian Creek Island Road was controlled by the founder of Amazon.
Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez, a former news reporter, and pilot, were searching for a new or restored property in the Miami region. He probably began looking for a home when in Miami in May for the Formula One Grand Prix. Given that he has looked at residences on La Gorce Island, Star Island, and North Bay Road in Miami Beach, he might potentially be prepared to buy additional properties.
The home was originally built in 1965 with some additional renovations completed in 1985. The home features 9,300 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on 2.8 acres. According to tax records, the sellers are listed as hotelier Tulia Soucy de Gonzalez Gorrondona.
Other notables on Indian Creek Island include hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert, businessman Carl Icahn, Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, musician Julio Iglesias, and auto dealer magnate Norman Braman.
David Guetta is also under contract to purchase the beachfront spec home at 37 Indian Creek Island Drive, which has a $69 million asking price.
St. Regis Residences Miami Construction Update
Construction is progressing at St. Regis Residences Miami with the newest construction permit submission.
The application was submitted on August 9 but without the full plans, the permit review will not begin. The permit has not yet been assigned to a contractor. The owner is identified as 1809 Brickell Property Owner, LLC, and the contact information is a Related group email. According to the permit, the hard construction cost will be $201,740,547.
By a 4-0 vote in June, the UDRB recommended approval of the project, subject to the developer’s agreement to “study the balconies at the lower levels in an attempt to widen areas that cannot currently be fully furnished.”
After around four months of evaluation, the Federal Aviation Administration authorized the tower’s permanent height at 630 feet above the ground, or 639 feet above sea level, on July 14.
For the location, total demolition permission was requested in June and is currently being handled.
St. Regis Residences Miami is planned to rise 52 stories or 639 feet and will include 391 parking spaces as well as 152 residential units.
Robert A.M. Stern Architects is creating the project with a nautical concept. CFE is the architect of the records.
