Solana: Juvia Group’s New Rooftop Culinary Experience at The Standard Residences, Midtown Miami
Midtown Miami, where innovation meets sophistication, a new culinary gem is poised to grace the skyline. The collaboration between Rosso Development, Standard International, Midtown Development, and the esteemed Juvia Group heralds the arrival of Solana, a rooftop restaurant and bar concept set to open at The Standard Residences.
Carlos Rosso, the visionary founder and CEO of Rosso Development, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “Jonas and the Juvia team are the perfect addition to The Standard Residences family.” This sentiment is echoed by Jonas Millán, co-founder of the Juvia Group, who eagerly anticipates bringing their vibrant European concept to this dynamic location.
Juvia Group’s reputation precedes them, known for their vibrant cuisine, innovative cocktails, and exceptional dining experiences set against stunning outdoor backdrops. Solana, spanning approximately 6,000 square feet atop the lush rooftop of The Standard Residences, promises to enchant guests with its relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Inspired by Riviera Cuisine, Solana will offer a diverse menu that tantalizes the taste buds, complemented by signature cocktails such as the tantalizing ‘Bonito Bubbling’. Designed by the visionary AD100 architect Manuel Clavel Rojo, the space will seamlessly integrate with The Standard’s renowned vibe, promising an unforgettable experience for patrons.
Manuel Clavel Rojo, Principal of Manuel Clavel Arquitectos, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing the iconic status Solana is poised to achieve in Miami’s skyline. The design draws inspiration from the timeless elegance of Tropical architecture, paying homage to the city’s rich cultural heritage.
Located at 3100 N.E. 1st Ave, The Standard Residences epitomize luxury living in one of Miami’s most connected and walkable neighborhoods. Boasting meticulously curated interiors and an array of community-minded amenities, including a lobby, Rosetta Bakery Café & Privato Speakeasy, and health and wellness facilities, The Standard Residences redefine urban living.
With completion slated for 2025, The Standard Residences, Midtown Miami, is already 95% pre-sold, a testament to the allure of this exceptional development.
As anticipation builds and construction progresses, Solana stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, poised to elevate Miami’s dining scene to new heights. Whether indulging in a leisurely meal or sipping cocktails against the backdrop of the city skyline, Solana promises an experience that transcends the ordinary—a celebration of flavor, ambiance, and community.
Juvia’s Strategic Pivot-a Testament to Miami’s Flourishing Landscape
In the dynamic world of investment, adaptability is paramount. Similarly, in the realm of Miami’s culinary scene, Juvia, the illustrious rooftop restaurant and bar that once held sway over Lincoln Road’s nightlife, has demonstrated this principle. After an impressive 11-year run in Miami Beach, Juvia is set to transition to the Miami Worldcenter—a staggering $6 billion, 27-acre development poised at the epicenter of downtown.
Jonas Millán, the visionary behind Juvia Group alongside his partner Alexandra, remarked on the city’s transformation, “Over the past decade, Miami has transcended its identity as merely a beach destination. Its metamorphosis into a burgeoning metropolis necessitated our evolution.” After meticulous scouting, the Miami Worldcenter emerged as the unequivocal choice for Juvia’s next chapter. Millán envisions the new establishment, slated for a late 2024 launch, to surpass its predecessor in grandeur, boasting expansive outdoor spaces and a more lavish terrace bar.
The Miami Worldcenter, located at 1010 NE Second Ave., is not just a real estate marvel but a culinary hub. It already houses three ventures from the esteemed Chef Michael Beltran’s Ariete Hospitality Group. Furthermore, 2024 will witness the inauguration of several more dining establishments, including New York’s Serafina and Dallas’s Sixty Vines, among others. Beyond gastronomy, the development is set to feature retail giants like Sephora and Lululemon, as well as avant-garde entertainment venues.
Juvia’s culinary direction remains rooted in its legacy—French cuisine infused with Latin nuances. However, with Miami’s dining scene witnessing a renaissance and the city earning Michelin accolades, Millán acknowledges the heightened benchmarks. “The culinary landscape is evolving rapidly. While some perceive market competition as daunting, I view it as a catalyst—an impetus to innovate and elevate our offerings.”
Nitin Motwani, the strategic mind behind Miami Worldcenter Associates, always envisioned Juvia as the crown jewel of the development’s rooftop. Familiar with Millán’s prowess through Bonito St. Barth, Motwani recognized Juvia’s transformative impact on Miami Beach. “Their influence was palpable. Our initial blueprints often echoed the sentiment, ‘Imagine having an establishment akin to Juvia here.’ Their relocation is serendipitous—a confluence of an expiring lease and the allure of what’s poised to become Miami’s nexus.” Motwani envisions the Worldcenter as a tapestry of diverse experiences, with Juvia serving as both a haven for celebratory occasions and a regular dining fixture.
In the high-stakes world of real estate, we understand the significance of strategic shifts and seizing emerging opportunities. Juvia’s transition is emblematic of this ethos—a testament to the vision, adaptability, and promise of Miami’s burgeoning landscape.
