A second Soho House, called Miami Pool House, will be launched in Miami in the fall/winter of 2022 by the Membership Collective Group Inc.
The Membership Collective Group (MCG) is a vibrant, and international membership platform that links members through physical and digital places.
The Miami Pool House will be located at 105-107 NE 25th St. at an old printing press called Windward Publishing, which was most recently a private residence. It will house the new Miami facility near the border between Wynwood and Edgewater.
There will be a pool, lounge areas, a restaurant on the terrace, a club area, and a cottage bar in the House. As a result, there will be a laid-back, laptop-friendly workspace where people can hang out during the day and enjoy some entertainment in the evening.
Miami Pool House will emphasize the local Miami artist community through committed relationships, programming, and its art collection.
According to the Area General Manager, Philip Spee, “Soho Beach House has been a part of Miami for nearly 12 years since we opened in 2010, and we’ve loved to help connect a diverse, vibrant, and creative set of members and guests over that time. The team and I are delighted to bring another location to our local and visiting members that will provide a platform for them to come together and connect socially and professionally.”
Exclusively for members and their guests, Miami Pool House will be accessible. Miami Pool House is open to Local House members. Those who belong to a House, however, have access to every Soho House in the world.
Nick Jones established Soho House in 1995. It serves as a space for our varied members to interact, develop, enjoy themselves, and create an effect.
Today, there are members and houses all over the world, along with eateries, spas, offices, and movie theaters. A location where people can exchange ideas and build connections in both physical and virtual environments, Soho House is a platform that supports all forms of creativity.
There are currently 30 Soho Houses, 9 Soho Works, The Ned in London, Scorpios Beach Club in Mykonos, Soho Home, interiors and lifestyle retail brands, and digital outlets are all ways that members from all over the world interact with MCG. The larger portfolio of MCG also includes the LINE and Saguaro hotels in North America.
Newest Wynwood Hotspot Features 2 Restaurants and a Nightclub
“Bad friends, Good Drinks & Expensive Taste,” that’s the Moto for Wynwood newest spot Burdo. Opened just north of Cerveceria La Tropical on North Miami Avenue, Burdo has a 2,700-square-foot dining room and a 4,000-square-foot outdoor terrace that, like so many other new Miami hot places, morphs from restaurant to late-night party location after dark.
The concept was developed by SinMente Group, a Colombian hospitality company that established a comparable venue in Medellin in 2014. Burdo was brought to Miami by SinMente in collaboration with Buenavista Investment Group. Burdo’s main menu features American fare such as bowls, pizzas, and burgers, as well as sushi rolls.
Green apple and cheese pizza ($20) with blue cheese, mozzarella, bocconcini, green apples in maple syrup, almonds, basil, and spinach; truffle grilled cauliflower ($20); and “Black Wings” ($28) with sesame seeds, chives, and black barbeque sauce are among the highlights.
However, that isn’t the only food available on the premises. Criminal Taqueria at Burdo is located on Burdo’s patio. Tacos aren’t illegal, so don’t be alarmed. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, esquites, and elote bowls are served at the taqueria, which has a few chairs but is mostly meant for grab-and-go purchases. It has its own separate kitchen and serves tacos, burritos, quesadillas, esquites, and elote bowls.
The design of Burdo is just as exquisite as the menu! Mixing a modern yet reclaimed design makes for an inviting atmosphere. A white marble surfaced bar adorns the bar and tabletops with outdoor inspired wood chairs. Mixing with green vegetation, wood paneled walls, and black steel touches creates a unique look that will be an excellent side to your food.
Prices range from $4 to $13 per pound. At the taqueria, you can order a margarita or Michelada, or try Burdo’s more extensive cocktail menu, which includes mezcal-based drinks like La Parca and El Chingon, as well as specialty gin cocktails. Bottle service is provided after dark, when the high-tech sound and lighting systems come on.
Burdo is located at 2509 North Miami Avenue in Wynwood and they are opened from Wednesday to Sunday from 5pm to 3am. Don’t forget happy hour is from 5pm to 8pm.
Brick & Timber Collective Recently Purchased a Wynwood Mixed-Use Property for $9 Million
Brick & Timber Collective just increased their Wynwood portfolio with an off-market $9 million purchase of a newly finished mixed-use property.
The developer and real estate asset manager from San Francisco purchased a 3-story office and retail property at 2724 and 2734 Northwest First Avenue.
The mixed-use property is located across the street from Wynd 27 and Wynd 28. Kushner Companies and Block Capital Group are developing the site, with 152 apartments, 79,500 square feet of office, and retail space.
The building was purchased for $900 per square foot by Brick & Timber Collective, managed by partners Jesse Feldman and Glenn Gilmore. The property is leased to a bay area tech business that finished a 10,000 square feet makeover was finished one month ago.
According to public records, the seller, a subsidiary of Miami-based Fortis Design-Build, paid $1.8 million for the two properties in 2018.
The structure, designed by Florida International University Dean of Architecture Jason Chandler, has ground-floor retail, second-floor office space, and a rooftop deck that may be expanded, according to Polinsky.
This isn’t the first Wynwood project Brick & Timber Collective has been involved in. The company purchased a Wynwood Annex Class A office building in February for $49 million but plans on buying more properties in Wynwood in the future.
Brick & Timber Collective specializes in leasing office space to technology startups, and has been exploring Miami, notably Wynwood, for more than a year. “We were scanning the rest of the country to see which market would profit from the tech industry in the same manner that San Francisco has and we landed in Miami and Wynwood. There is a significant migratory change in progress.”

Sales Launch for NoMad Residences Wynwood
Sales of NoMad Residences Wynwood, a NoMad Hotel-branded condo building featuring a Casa Tua Cucina on the ground floor, have launched sales thanks to a joint venture between Related Group and David Edelstein’s Tricap.
Located at 2700 Northwest Second Avenue in Wynwood will house 329 units in a nine-story structure. The plans were officially approved by the Wynwood Design Review Committee on March 12, 2022.
Tricap, Related, and its project partner, Alex Karakhanian’s Lndmrk Development paid $26.5 million for the development site last year. The almost 1.3-acre property was sold by Chinese lender Seven Valleys, which took over the land from RedSky Capital and JZ Capital Partners.
The project will be NoMad Hotels’ first residential development, according to Andrew Zobler’s Sydell Group. (Last year, Zobler purchased a property in Miami Beach.) Sydell sold its stake in the NoMad hotel in New York, which reopened as the Ned last year as a Soho House property. The NoMad hotels are located in London, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.

This development will have not rental restrictions and there will be in-house management team that will handle check-ins and check-outs.
According to Nick Pérez, senior vice president at Related, buyers will be a mix of investors and end users, similar to the buyer pool at Related’s two short-term rental friendly condo projects, the Crosby at Miami Worldcenter and District 225. Pérez also mentioned the slew of IT firms that have or are planning to open headquarters in Wynwood.
The building will feature a rooftop restaurant and bar, which will be directed by James Beard Award winner Leo Robitschek, who was previously the bar director at New York City’s Eleven Madison Park, a three-Michelin-star restaurant.
On the bottom floor of the building, Casa Tua, which has a flagship store in Miami Beach and a food hall at Saks Fifth Avenue’s Brickell City Centre site, will open. Casa Tua has additional sites in Aspen and Paris.

As More Companies Migrate to South Florida-Miami Commercial Real Estate Booms
As more companies migrate to south Florida, we are seeing more office spaces renting out, new mixed-use construction and now more than ever, new mixed-use projects. More recently, RAL Tricap Wynwood LLC has proposed a mixed-use twin tower project in the Wynwood Arts District.
Located at Northwest Fifth Avenue and 27th Street, these two 8 story buildings are proposed to have over 250,000 square feet of office and retail space. Dubbed the names, Wyn on 5th North and WYN on 5th South, this twin developments was review by the city in March 2022 and the developers are just waiting on final approvals.
Wyn on 5th North will feature 106,414 square feet of office plus 6,961 square feet of retail and 268 parking space with available bike spaces. Wyn on 5th South will showcase 139,254 square feet of offices, 16,000 square feet of retail, and 377 parking spaces. Each garage will be enclosed and will feature a roof deck.
The project was envisioned to encompass work and play into one creative space. The developer is looking to advertise to local and national companies who wish to be at the beginning stages of the Miami’s financial and tech scene.
According to the attorney, Steve Wernick, “Together, the buildings create a landmark arrival and visual gateway into the Wynwood Arts District from NW 5th Avenue, and significant public realm improvements that will enhance the connectivity and pedestrian experience of Wynwood – extending 24/7 activity to the Fifth Avenue corridor.”
The project itself will be designed Arquitectónica. Although the board recommended approval they still had some commend concerning the design, which were called “two decorated boxes.” They wish to see buildings that resembled more of what the Wynwood Design District is and what the area is all about. Another recommendation included the artwork on the exterior of the building to encompass the vibe of Wynwood.
Miami NFT Week is Here and Here are all the Details

LIVWRK Wynwood Proposed for Miami’s Wynwood Neighborhood
The Brooklyn-based developer LIVWrk has submitted its second set of construction plans for their recently acquired Wynwood site. The site itself is located at 2400-2418 N Miami Ave. and 29 NW 24th St. from East End Capital.
The proposal themselves is included to have 2 separate buildings covering 922,466 square feet of total area. Both buildings will have rooftop terraces, while amenities will be separated between the 2 towers.
Building Information
Architect: Morris Adjmi
420 residential units (located in building 1)
59,461 sq. ft. of office space (located in building 1)
122 apartment/hotel units (located in building 2)
29,057 sq. ft. of ground-floor commercial (located in building 1)
556 parking spaces and 798 bike rack spaces in a 3-story garage (located in building 1)
8,996 sq. ft. of ground-floor retail (located in building 2)
Building Amenities:
Fitness center (building 1)
Social club (building 1)
Bar and lounge (building 2)
The developer purchased the 2.45-acre development site for $38.86 million. through Thorofare Asset Based Lending REIT Fund V based in Los Angeles, with a mortgage of $28.44 million. Asher Abehsera, the firm’s founder, leads LivWrk.
This is LIVWrk’s first Miami development in South Florida. Most of their current project is in progress in New York but the developers are also working on a collection of historic buildings in Los Angeles.
On March 8, 2022, the Wynwood Design Review Committee is scheduled to review the development plan which will include the design renderings.
Wynwood’s First Mixed-Use Project with Over 1M Square Feet
L&L Holding Co. and Carpe Real Estate Partners are partnering for one of the largest mixed-use projects to rise in Wynwood. Working with the City of Miami Planning Department, the approval process is officially in the final stages.
Dubbed the name, The Wynwood Plaza, formerly 29N, will be sited on 95 NW 29th Street in the heart of Wynwood. The plan was originally brought in from Miami’s Urban Development Review Board in October where it was recommended for denial. The development team didn’t take no for an answer and continued to work on the board’s concerns over the project.
The concerns of the project included massing along 30th Street and the cross-block passage car access along NW 29th Street. The one-way vehicle passage was refined with a small footprint. One of the mitigations included the midblock access point would be limited to visitor cars managed by the valet.
The project, designed by Gensler, would feature two towers, one 12 and one 8 stories with 509 apartments. There would also be 266,000 square feet of offices, 32,000 square feet of commercial/retail spaces, 688 parking spaces, and 954 bike spaces.
The design itself will incorporate indoor and outdoor spaces that will benefit not only the residents but also the surrounding neighborhood. This design will include 25,000 square feet of a public plaza on the ground floor.
The groundbreaking for the project is scheduled for early this year with an anticipated completion date in 2024.
Chillax: Diesel Wynwood to Include a Sensory Room for Residents to Disconnect
We are constantly seeing innovative and unique amenities in new developments in Miami. Those include helipads, a Dezervator (car elevator), and a “soccer field in the sky.” Now we can add a sensory room to the list thanks to the new pre-construction tower DieselWynwood.
Sensory rooms are environments designed to provide the user with an immersive sensory experience that includes varying lights, sounds, colors, sensory cues to calm, and other sensories that promote emotional and cognitive development. They are intended to assist users in engaging with their senses and reaping the advantages of sensory stimulation in a safe and calm atmosphere.
Sensory rooms have been in the news more recently especially in South Korea with the opening of a sensory cafe near Seoul Forest. According to Insider.com, South Koreans are so stressed that they are paying to visit this indoor sensory room so they can relax and do absolutely nothing for any amount of time they would like.
This cafe known as the Green Lab features floor-to-ceiling glass windows looking out at the lush vegetation of the Seoul Forest. In this room, customers must silence their phones and they cannot speak during the experience. According to a Green Lab employee, Bae Hyum, “It’s so hard to find spaces in Korean society where it’s acceptable to do absolutely nothing.”
As for the newest pre-construction tower in Miami, the Diesel Wynwood sensory rooms will feature restorative seating for relaxation, meditative visual features, and media installations. New information on these sensory rooms is being released every day and we are very excited to fo this newest amenity in a soon-to-be iconic tower in Miami.
