Destination Miami River

Miami River A New Hot Spot in Miami  

Miami aims to cement the city’s position as an economic, political, and cultural hub for the Americas and reach a new world city status. One of the strategies to pursue that goal is the gentrification of some neglected areas that are part of the core of the city.  Thus the city continues in the process of renewal and rebuilding some of the deteriorating areas bringing a new influx of middle-class and affluent people.

Edge, Sushi Samba, River Oyster Bar and Fox Hole Marketplace and Deli —are just some of the planned new eateries banking on the Miami River. New restaurants, retail and increased public access along the Miami River were among the highlights of a development boat tour of the five-mile-long waterfront district on Thursday. Developers and real estate professionals toured the river Thursday as part of an Urban Land Institute and NAIOP partnership. Brett Bibeau, managing director of the Miami River Commission, said that popular restaurants Seaspice (formerly Sea Salt and Pepper), Garcia’s Seafood and Casablanca have brought business to the area. Among the restaurants awaiting permits or under construction are Sushi Samba, at 40 Southwest North River Drive; Edge at 39 to 55 Southwest Miami Avenue Road; a new location for the River Oyster Bar at 350 Flagler Street, and Fox Hole Marketplace and Deli at Latitude on the River, 615 Southwest Second Avenue. The Miami River has increasingly drawn interest from developers who are embracing the river lifestyle. “It’s a place that people don’t have to see as up and coming. It exists,” said Andy Hellinger, developer of the River Landing project, a massive nine-acre development that will include apartments, retail and a linear park along the riverwalk. River Landing’s retail component will include a five-story vertical shopping center, with a different theme for each floor. Among them: restaurants and supermarkets, sporting goods and entertainment. Two acres of the project are dedicated to parks and pathways. Hellinger compared the linear park, with a 50-foot setback, to the Highline in New York. River Landing recently applied for a seawall permit, and digging for the foundation will be complete in a few weeks, Hellinger told The Real Deal. * The Real Deal
