When the Plantation, Florida, Fashion Mall opened in 1988, developers had high hopes for the location. Over 1,000 people attended its grand opening. Vanna White was there. Then, in less than 15 years, the Fashion Mall closed, and a 32-acre “gravesite” has remained in its place. But not for long.
Miami Worldcenter Associates, led by Nitin Motwani, Art Falcone and the CIM Group, has 280,000 square feet of retail and commercial spaces in the works at Miami Worldcenter (MWC), a 27-acre, $4 billion mixed-use mega project in Downtown Miami’s Park West neighborhood. The managing partners have planned to develop a plethora of venues and outlets throughout multiple buildings in the 10-block complex, including some buildings solely dedicated to that purpose, with several other mixed-use buildings housing variously sized spaces. The retail spaces at MWC will be a mix of food and beverage/fast casual, specialty and service establishments, and the developers are hoping to lease as locally as possible, as opposed to strictly onboarding large and recognized anchor tenants and national chains.
Presently, The Bohemian, a $23 million mixed-use residential venture, is continuing construction. Construction began on the project in the second quarter of 2021, per the Construction Journal. Ideally, the venture will reach completion within the next few years.
