Ezio’s Steakhouse | Miami Beach
An Italian-inspired steakhouse and seafood restaurant will open at Lefferts’ recently completed 72 Park condo tower in Miami Beach.
Ezio’s Steakhouse, co-founded by Brandon Hoy and chef Carlo Mirarchi, leased 2,200 square feet on the ground floor of the 22-story, 266-unit condo tower at 580 72nd Street in the North Beach neighborhood, according to the landlord’s news release. The restaurant, which will open in late fall, will wrap around the northwest corner of 72 Park.
Hoy and Mirarchi launched Ezio’s last year as a pop-up inside their original Roberta’s, a pizzeria known for its wood-fired Neapolitan-style pies in New York’s Bushwick neighborhood.
Founded by Mendy Chudaitov, Lefferts completed 72 Park in March, marking the first new luxury condo tower in North Beach in more than five years, according to the release. The tower, which allows short-term rentals, is 97 percent sold.
Lefferts, which Chudaitov started in New York, expanded to South Florida in 2019, where it’s focused on North Beach with plans for three more residential towers. The firm has offices in Miami Beach and New York.
Galderma | Miami
Swiss dermatology company Galderma will open its U.S. headquarters in Miami’s Brickell.
Galderma, which owns several skin care and injectable aesthetics brands, including Alastin, Cetaphil, Differin and Dysport, leased at the 801 Brickell Avenue office tower, according to the tenant’s news release. The square footage of the office wasn’t provided.
The firm –– led by Flemming Ørnskov, with Heather Wallace appointed president of its U.S. division –– expects about 150 employees in the Brickell office by 2028.
New York-based Monarch Alternative Capital and Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania-based Tourmaline Capital Partners own the 28-story 801 Brickell tower. The pair paid $250 million for it in 2023, records show.
The Bungalow by Gypsy, Bindu Yoga and Wellness, more | West Palm Beach
The Warehouse District, a collection of industrial buildings repurposed into retail and dining in West Palm Beach, scored four new tenants.
Real estate investor Alex Griswold bought the 85,000-square-foot district along Clare and Elizabeth avenues last year for $19.5 million. Since then, he’s worked to secure new tenants.
Most recently, The Bungalow by Gypsy leased 4,600 square feet at 1300 Clare Avenue, according to Francis X. Scire Jr., the landlord’s broker. The tenant, which will open in December, will be a sister shop to the existing Gypsy Life Surf Shop at the Warehouse District. Both stores are owned by Tracy Smith.
Also, construction firm Marker opened a 1,400-square-foot office at 1250 Elizabeth Avenue; and Bindu Yoga & Wellness opened a roughly 4,000-square-foot studio at 1530 Elizabeth Avenue, Scire said. Furniture and home decorations store Show Pony Palm Beach leased 13,000 square feet in two spaces: a store for its more traditional furniture at 1400 Elizabeth Avenue, and a store for outdoor furniture and sculptures at 1035 Clare Avenue.
Scire, who also is handling leasing for the Nora District in downtown West Palm Beach, is representing Griswold in the retail leasing. Constance Thomas of TCRE is representing the landlord in the office leasing.
The new deals come as food hall Grandview Public Market closed its Warehouse District space.
“We are now working on redeveloping the food hall. Our goal is to bring in a full-service restaurant,” Scire said.
The district’s occupancy is about 80 percent, he added.
The Warehouse District was developed from 1925 to 1968 along the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, which in the 1920s carried tourists and South Florida newcomers eager to settle in the state, according to the district’s website. The warehouses were formerly used as machine shops and distribution centers.
In 2018, Palm Beach-based Johnstone Capital Partners completed redevelopment of the long-neglected warehouses and sold the properties to Charlotte, North Carolina-based Asana Partners for $18.5 million. Griswold bought the district from Asana.
Gymshark | Miami
British athletic apparel retailer Gymshark will open a store in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood.
Gymshark signed a 10-year lease, with the option for a five-year renewal, at Third Point and KAR Properties’ building at 2041 Northwest Miami Court and 2050 North Miami Avenue, according to a June lease record.
The one-story, 19,500-square-foot building was built in 1949 on a 1-acre lot, property records show.
New York-based hedge fund Third Point is led by Dan Loeb. New York-based KAR is led by Shahab Karmely.
The lease follows Gymshark’s plans for its first U.S. store in New York announced earlier this year.
