Miami Tennis Open Weekend Updates-Now through April 2nd
Miami’s tennis scene is returning! The Miami Open is taking place at the Hard Rock Stadium from now until April 2, 2023, featuring the best tennis players in the world. The event features the best in tennis as well as the best in entertainment, cuisine, art, and culture—all hallmarks of Greater Miami & Miami Beach.
While tennis is the main attraction at the Miami Open, there is also plenty of time for music, fashion, and dining, and the enormous event space has lots of locations to party like a pro. A variety of songs will be performed by musicians, while DJs will blast club music across the campus. Visitors will also see colorful murals painted by six local artists throughout the area because Miami is a global cultural powerhouse. If you like to shop, you can find Lacoste goods there as well. Experience Display, a new offering from Cadillac will also be there as well as large screens are strategically placed so that spectators won’t miss a single play.
Food pop-ups from restaurants like Casa Tua Cucina, Kiki on the River, The Wharf, Bodega, Cheeseburger Baby, Omakai Sushi, Dos Croquetas, and many more scattered throughout the venue, guests may choose from a variety of delectable international cuisine prepared by Miami favorites. Also, there are bars that provide speciality cocktails, beer, and wine.
The Miami Open moved to Hard Rock Stadium in 2019, bringing fans improved parking, more room, and a better experience, after 32 years at Crandon Park on Key Biscayne. Tennis fans can benefit from the same opulent accommodations that Miami Dolphins supporters are used to at football events. A 13,800-seat stadium, the stadium court, has 360-degree LED displays that enhance the viewing experience. On the outside courts, there is additional seating, including a Butch Buchholz Court with a 3,500-seat capacity. In other words, there is plenty of space to enjoy fantastic tennis.
Over the years, The Miami Open has featured matches between the top tennis players including Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer who played their first match against each other in Miami in 2004. We have also watched Serena Williams win a record eight singles titles in Miami. Hubert Hurkacz of Poland won his first Masters 1000 trophy at the competition in 2020.

Plans Filed for 3 Tower Development – Biscayne 21
Plans for the highly anticipated three-tower mixed-use development called Biscayne 21 has been submitted to the Urban Development Review Board located at 2121 North Bayshore Drive in Edgewater, Miami.
The project will feature 606 multifamily units spread across three residential towers that are 649 feet tall, 8,433 square feet of ground-floor retail space, 971 parking spots, a complete amenity package, and more than 800 linear feet of a new waterfront promenade. Arquitectonica, EDSA, Longitude Surveyors, and Langan Engineering are just a few of the project’s remarkable roster of architects and engineers.
The property, which is in a superb location with stunning views of Biscayne Bay to the east and the Biscayne Bay Inlet to the south, is located on the southeast corner of North Bayshore Road and Northeast 22nd Street.
The Edgewater skyline will be dominated by two twin skyscrapers that rise 56 stories in height and a third that is 55 stories high. The twin towers (South Tower One & South Tower Two), which are unbranded, will each have 210 residential units, while the structure known as the East Tower, also known as EDITION Residences, will have 186 residential units. The overall square footage of the project is divided into 333,463 square foot parking garage, 430,132 square feet between the two unbranded buildings, and 639,824 square feet For EDITION Residences. The project’s outstanding overall square footage is 1,841,984 square feet.
The buildings at Biscayne 21 will have an exterior that combines a variety of high-quality materials. Glass with clear view, white-painted stucco frames, and other accessories will produce a contemporary and uncluttered appearance. Mechanical screens and painted metal or fiberglass with fake foliage, together with a creative painting, will add a natural touch to the parking structure. Moreover, mechanical screens will wrap around the tops of each tower. The project’s most recent renderings are shown here, along with the project’s cover image.
The East Tower (EDITION) will have a more sinuous and elliptical form, distinguished by a carve into the structure on the north side that creates concave balconies and a sense of architectural grandeur on the skyline, while the twin towers will have a striking rectilinear design, with the superstructure punctuated by cuts lined with concrete frames that reveal elegant balconies.
EDITION will offer condominiums with unit sizes ranging from one to four bedrooms and five-bedroom penthouses covering 1,952 square feet to 8,466 square feet. The two additional buildings have condominiums as well, with one to three-bedroom units measuring 915 to 2,190 square feet each.
Amenities:
Pool deck
Indoor fitness center
Sauna
Lounge and juice bar
Multi-use space

Two Roads Development is requesting a number of waivers for the Biscayne 21 project, including a small reduction in tower spacing, two driveways separated by less than 60 feet, a reduction is required parking of up to 30%, parking above the first story to extend into the second layer, and pedestrian entrances more than 75 feet apart. Due to the property’s special configuration with two waterfront frontages and to guarantee compliance with the Transect Zone regulations, the exceptions have been requested.
The proposed project for Biscayne 21 and the waivers requested by Two Roads Development adhere to Miami 21’s guiding principles, which include fostering infill and redevelopment, encouraging mixed-use development, offering public transportation as an alternative to driving, and supporting compact, pedestrian-friendly communities. The project offers public spaces, such as waterfront walkways along the South and East frontages, as well as an energy-efficient design. On March 15, 2023, Two Roads Development will present the project to the Urban Development Review Board.

Townhomes have double-height great rooms that are 18 feet tall, as well as private terraces with landscaped gardens and a summer kitchen.
Residents will enjoy a palm-tree shaded pool deck with daybed lounge chairs and tanning areas, a summer kitchen with barbeque and dining area, an outdoor shower, and direct access to a dedicated beach club. The Art Deco-inspired geometrical design of the building is complemented by lush landscaping with terraced walls and cascading greenery, water features, and a natural color palette, creating an immediate sense of serenity.

The Queen Restaurant and Lounge Opens in Miami Beach
What was previously Miami’s Paris Theater is now The Queen Restaurant and Lounge!
The Queen located at 550 Washington Avenue in Miami Beach will offer a unique blend of Japanese and French inspired cuisine. Small plates such as maitake tempura with scallion ash and truffle mayo, dressed oysters East and West with an apple Szechuan mignonette, and duck and pork tsukune with tare, scallion, and baby gem lettuce kick off the menu.
Following that are crudos such as steak and tuna tartare, beef carpaccio with uni and caviar crème, and deluxe seafood towers. The Josper Charcoal Oven or the Robata Flame Grills are used to prepare Japanese Wagyu, Prime Ribeye, roasted Branzino with Thai chili ponzu, and Australian lamb with chipotle miso.
Sushi made from fish flown in from Japan will also be available, as will a special selection at the eight-seat Omakase Counter. Following that, craft cocktails, many of which incorporate Japanese spirits, will be served in whichever lounge guests choose.
But The Queen isn’t just about the food – the atmosphere is just as noteworthy with the transformation of the Paris Theater. A custom mosaic created in Italy using Venetian and Palladian techniques and a black and white mural, “Parade of the Carmens,” by Miami artist Gonzalo Fuenmayor celebrating Carmen Miranda can be found at the entrance. The Salon Lounge features curved burgundy chairs and a central banquette, burgundy carpet with plum and apricot fanned leaves, gilded original crown moldings, Lobmeyr brass, hand cut crystal, Swarovski crystal and gold finish chandeliers, and a Calacatta Viola marble bar.
The main dining room is expansive, with lighted cutout walls, a large concentric circle of hand carved teak finished in gold leaf surrounding a bronze mirror, and a ceiling dome that transforms with a kaleidoscope of LED images. Above, on the mezzanine level, is a members-only VIP lounge with 80 seats and a view of the dining room. However, both serve the regular menu, which is overseen by chef Julien Jouhannaud, who was previously in charge of the culinary program at Annabelle’s in London, and produced by executive chef Mitchell Hesse, a Miami native.
The Variety Theater, as it was known in 1946 was a venue for classic revival films such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Suspicion, its opening film. Later renamed The Paris, it has been transformed into an event space and photo studio. However, it retained its Deco elements, which have been restored and enhanced by designer Carlos Rodriguez of Miami’s ModPlay Studio.
The Queen is open Tuesday through Saturday from 6pm until late. So if you’re looking for a fancy night out with exquisitely prepared food, The Queen is the perfect spot. Make sure to make a reservation, as this trendy new spot is sure to fill up quickly.
Sales Launch for Rivage Bal Harbour
In Bal Harbour, the Related Group, Two Roads Developers, and Rockpoint have started taking reservations for an opulent condo on the beach.
At 10245 Collins Ave., Rivage Bal Harbour will include 61 “sky villa” condos spread over 24 stories. By purchasing the Carlton Terrace condo building and ending its association, the developers, acting via Carlton Terrace Owner LLC, obtained the 2.55-acre site. The high-end skyscraper will take the place of the existing condo.
This is part of a pattern where developers are purchasing older condos along the ocean in South Florida since the property is now worth more than the older condo towers, which frequently need a lot of upkeep as they get older.
In the meantime, there is a significant demand for large condos on the ocean in Miami-Dade County due to an inflow of wealthy residents from high-tax areas.
The Rivage Bal Harbour will include apartments ranging in size from 3,300 square feet to 13,000 square feet for penthouses. Prices range from $8 million to $64 million for them.
In addition to a fitness pavilion, a hammam spa, and pickleball courts, the property will have more than 25,000 square feet of wellness-related activities. A pool, a cocktail lounge, a VR game simulator, and a kids’ playroom will all be available as extras.
CFE Architects in Miami Lakes and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in New York collaborated to create Rivage Bal Harbour. The interior designer is Rottet Studio.
Before the end of 2023, the developer claimed they intended to start construction on the condo.
