This project represents a transformative development in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, heralding the neighborhood’s first Class-A office building. Located at the key intersection of 29th Street and North Miami Avenue, this 12-story structure stands out as a premier addition to the Wynwood/Midtown submarket, combining modern office space with vibrant retail and restaurant provisions. This project, developed by New York-based R&B Realty and designed by the acclaimed Kobi Karp, is poised to redefine the commercial landscape of one of Miami’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
This project encompasses a substantial 220,000 square feet of rentable office space. The building’s design reflects a modern aesthetic while addressing the practical needs of today’s businesses. The office floors are designed with large, flexible layouts that cater to a wide range of business types, from startups to established firms. Floor-to-ceiling windows enhance the interior with abundant natural light and offer sweeping views of the surrounding cityscape, reinforcing the building’s connection to its vibrant urban environment.
One of the defining features of this project is its environmentally responsible design. The building incorporates a range of sustainable practices and materials, aligning with contemporary standards for green construction. The façade, designed with a combination of glazing, perforated aluminum metal mesh, and vertical aluminum fins, not only creates an eye-catching appearance but also provides effective sun shading. This design element contributes to energy efficiency and enhances the overall aesthetic of the building, reflecting the artistic spirit of the Wynwood district.
In addition to office space, this project features ground floor retail and restaurant spaces that integrate seamlessly into the building’s design. Spanning over 25,000 square feet, this street-level area is set to become a vibrant hub of activity, offering a range of dining and shopping options that will enhance the building’s appeal and contribute to the district’s lively atmosphere.
The project also includes an enclosed parking structure with a capacity for over 650 vehicles, addressing one of the critical needs in the Wynwood/Midtown area. This ample parking capacity, combined with the building’s prime location, ensures that this project is one of the most accessible office spaces in the region. The integration of five levels of parking further enhances convenience for tenants and visitors, facilitating easy access to both the office and retail components of the building.
A standout feature of the building is its private rooftop terrace, which offers an exclusive outdoor space for relaxation and events. This amenity provides tenants with a unique vantage point to enjoy panoramic views of the city and the surrounding area. Additionally, this project includes state-of-the-art security measures to ensure a safe and secure environment for all occupants.
This project embodies a modern, urban design that harmonizes with the artistic and cultural character of the Wynwood Arts District. Its combination of flexible office spaces, vibrant retail offerings, and sustainable design makes it a significant addition to Miami’s commercial real estate market. By bridging the gap between the historic charm of Wynwood and the contemporary demands of business, this project stands as a landmark project that reflects the dynamic evolution of one of Miami’s most exciting neighborhoods.
