With a keen eye for world trends, culture and design, the proprietary lifestyle publication of ONE Sothebys International Realty covers the latest in South Florida luxury living and luxury real estate. With the launch of the latest issue, were putting a spotlight on the unique content available in this exclusive publication with a blog series highlighting the various sections featured. In the second installment of the series, were diving into the latest developments of Miamis flourishing cultural center in The Design District: The Hub of Miamis Culture Club.
With master planner Craig Robins hard at work on the completion of Miamis renovated Design District, a handful of new luxury retailers are set to open this fall. Valentino, Tom Ford,Fendi, Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs are just some of the shops ready to open their doors, joining the likes of Celine, Dior Homme, Prada and Marni already in place. Shortly, the temporary Herms store will be replaced by its permanent locationa 14,000-square-foot, three-story masterpiece with a rooftop garden.
The openings are the next phase in a multimillion-dollar redevelopment plan by Robins, president and CEO of Dacra, and his partner, L Real Estate. When Robins initiated the plan a few years ago, he wanted to transform the once-dilapidated area into a centralized hub of art, fashion and dining. When completed, the area will boast more than 130 luxury retailers, art galleries, antiques dealers, boutiques, showrooms and upscale eateries.
Most of the shops on 40th Street are already open, and after this fall phase, the remainder of boutiques and restaurants south of the street should follow suit by next summer. Palm Court, a center of various designer stores, is scheduled to open by the end of the year. Robins also has plans for luxury residential units in the heart of the district, with approximately 80 expected to be available by the end of 2015 or the first quarter of 2016.
It may be difficult to envision whats to come. But when fully realized, the architecture, art installations and landscape design of this unique district will give a nod to the tropical modernism of Miami. It feels more like a park rather than a streetscape, says Nathan Browning, principal of Island Planning Corp., the company behind the landscaping. A functional park that also incorporates art and sculptures and murals to soften the concrete atmosphere.
Architecturally, each building draws distinct inspiration from Miami, from faades that replicate rainfall and foliage to geometric, art deco storefronts. Work by ArandaLasch, Sou Fujimoto, Moorhead and Moorhead and K/R, adds simplified modernity to the area, as their commissioned buildings continue to evolve the landscape of the district. A pedestrian promenadenamed Paseo Ponti, after Italian architect and designer Gi Pontistretches over four blocks and three streets.
Anchored by two plaza areas, the promenade emphasizes the importance of a relaxed atmosphere, where visitors can take their time strolling through the districts plethora of sophisticated stores. Ben Aranda of ArandaLasch says his firm was hired to design two of the districts buildings: the Buena Vista Building and the ArandaLasch Building (an event space). He says his design goal is to convey a new appreciation for the neighborhood and how it has transformed, adding that the event space will provide a commanding view of the area.
Our idea was to emulate and do a contemporary reinterpretation of art deco, which we think works for this new profile of luxury retail in the design district, he says. Already attracting artists, fashionistas and culinary aficionados,the new Miami Design District is quickly on its way to becoming a mecca of cutting-edge culture.
