Wynwood Urby in the Design District

Ironstate and Brookfield Developers are teaming up to build their first Miami mixed-use project in the Wynwood Arts District, Wynwood Urby. Wynwood Urby would be located at 26-60 N.E. 27th St. and 61 N.E. 26th St on a 1.29 acre site.

The site is the former home of the Art by God fossil and taxidermy store with over 13,000+ square foot building. Ironstate and Brookfield purchased the property in 2021 for $15.6 million.

Between the two developers, they have built over 3,000 condos using the ‘Urby’ name throughout New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. If approved, this will be their first project in Florida.

The project is scheduled to be reviewed by the Wynwood Design Review Committee on April 12, 2022. Wynwood Urby would rise 8 stories tall and span over 371,632 square feet. There would be 289 residential unites, 17,000+ commercial space, and 197 parking spaces with spaces for electric parking. The units would range from 443 to 893 square feet of living space.

The amenities would include a fitness center located on the 3rd floor, rooftop amenity deck with a pool, outdoor kitchen, and garden room.

According to the plans, the commercial space would wrap around 27th street and expand to a pedestrian paseo where a cafe will be located as well. The project is to be designed by 5G Studio Collaborative in Dallas and Concrete in Amsterdam.

According to a representative of Brookfield developers, “This residential is geared toward a younger demographic who will utilize Wynwood as an amenity and be out and about in the neighborhood.”

Wynwood's W28

Related Group along with W5 Group Break Ground on Wynwood Project-W28

Wynwood's W28

In Miami’s Wynwood art’s district, the Related Group has partnered with W5 Group on a massive mixed-use project. According to a press conference, the Related Group has officially began construction with the ground breaking of the project, W28.

W5 Group has been the lead equity partner in the development, committing 80% of the capital for the project. The location of the development will be at 33, 45, and 51 NW 28th Street in Wynwood. The tower is being designed by Arquitectonica.

W28 will feature 200 fully furnished units that will be designed for co-living. The development will also feature 3,600 square feet of ground floor retail, co-working space, common areas, fitness center, rooftop pool, and outdoor space for activities.

The concept came to the founder of W5 because he believed that millennials needed affordable house with a co-living concept.

“As neighborhoods become more desirable, young people are often priced out. Co-living is an exciting proposition that offers tremendous value, enabling them to experience modern living in highly attractive units – all while meeting like-minded individuals and forming rewarding new bonds in coveted metropolitan areas,” stated found of W5.

The Related Group purchased the 2.1 acre site for $6.5 million in June 2021 for the 3 properties that consisted of a 12-unit apartment building, 4 bedroom house, and an additional vacant lot.

The Related Group has already completed Wynwood 25, a different co-living project that was co-developed along with East End Capital. The Related Group is also planning an additional project located at 2801 NW 3rd Avenue that they paid $32 million for last year.

“According to The Related Group executive vice president Jon Perez. “This collaboration with W5 Group is consistent with our commitment to ensuring that every new project in Wynwood, regardless of size and scale, enhances the neighborhood’s livability without compromising its rich culture.”

The Wynwood Plaza Wynwood

Wynwood’s First Mixed-Use Project with Over 1M Square Feet

The Wynwood Plaza Wynwood

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.

Pastis Restaurant in Miami

South Miami Welcomes NYC Restaurant in Summer 2022

Pastis Restaurant in Miami

Over the past year, Miami has seen a swarm of NYC eateries heading south including Carbone and COTE. Now we can add the Parisian-style bistro Pastis to the list. Pastis is famous for being the go-to French fare in the Meatpacking district and many celebrities have been known to frequent this famous restaurant.

The design of the new location will be similar to NYC’s location. Designed by Paisely Design, the Miami location will feel like a “time-worn Parisian bistro.” Hardwood plans, a curved zinc bar, dark banquettes, subway tile, and vintage mirrors will flow effortlessly through the space. Handwritten daily specials along with the mosaic-tiled floor will bring the space together forming the vibe of the bistro.

According to Starr, “For the last few years, I’ve had my eye on Wynwood. I’ve witnessed the vibrant and artistic neighborhood transform into a booming cultural hub with an incredible dining scene. People want great food, energy, and a great location; Pastis Miami will be a perfect addition to the community.”

Pastis originally opened in 1999 in Manhattan, while quickly becoming the “go-to” spot for a-listers. In 2014, the building that the restaurant was in sold, and in the summer of 2019, they reopened and Starr joined the team.

Their classic menu includes French classics like steak tartare, onion soup, snails with garlic butter, trout amandine, filet au Poivre, and tuna Crudo.

World’s Largest Cryptocurrency Conference is Coming to Miami – Bitcoin 2021

Bitcoin 2021 World Conference in Miami

In the last few weeks, Miami has been swarmed with vacation goers and visitors from all over the world. But this week, Miami will be taken over by big tech with the world’s largest cryptocurrency conference, Bitcoin 2021. There is no doubt that Miami is the place to be!

Bitcoin 2021 will take place on June 4th and 5th at Wynwood’s Mana Convention Center. This will be considered one of the largest events to occur since the pandemic. This conference was originally set to take place in Los Angeles.

Notable speakers for this conference include Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez as well as other leaders in cryptocurrency. The conference will explore technology advancement and give opportunities to actually utilize Bitcoin in a real setting.

According to the Chairman and Co-founder of the Wyndwood Business Improvement District Albert Garcia stated, “Wynwood’s residents and businesses have shown their resiliency in the face of this pandemic, and we are ready to safely welcome back visitors for the first major in-person event in the last 16 months. Conference attendees will enjoy the unique, open-air offerings of the Wynwood Arts District- from our colorful streets to our internationally recognized culinary and brewery scene.”
