The ground-floor retail/restaurant space at 900 Biscayne Bay has had a series of tenants sine the building’s completion in 2008. but will the building’s latest entree be the right fit? Kukaramakara, a live band venue just opened over the past weekend. Up until 2 or 3 weeks ago, the space was occupied by Libar Steakhouse, before that Doma Polo Bistro, and before that another place, which, if we remember correctly, was an Argentinian restaurant. Meanwhile the space itself was put on the market for sale earlier this year.

The space is a great example of the amount of retail turnover on this stretch of Biscayne Boulevard, the so-called Biscayne Boulevard wall. The Marquis had a hotel, and now it’s about to have another hotel. 888 Biscayne Boulevard/Marina Blue is getting a CVS in their corner space. The ground floor retail space at Ten Museum Park has never had tenant. And soon One Thousand Museum will be adding more retail square footage to the row. With new construction happening nearby, a neighborhood in transition, and lots of traffic along Biscayne Boulevard, when will the stretch reach some stability?
