Büro,
the shared office trendsetter, is coming to Coconut Grove. Main Highway Partners
entered into a lease with Büro for the entire second floor of the former Engle
building at the corner of Main Highway and McFarland Road. It offers 100
offices and workstations.. The former
Engle building, redesigned by Arquitectonica, has a new bunch of tenants
including Panther Coffee, Michael Schwartz’s Harry’s Pizzeria, and the Clyde Butcher
Gallery, among others. Büro is part of the Main Highway Partner's strategy in
bringing a new breed of tenants and new era of vibrancy to Coconut Grove.
“We
wanted to bring an incubator space to Coconut Grove,” said Raymond Fort,
designer at Arquitectonica and principal of Main Highway Partners. “We are pleased to have Büro spearhead
the innovative power of new businesses that have always made the Grove the progressive
neighborhood of Miami.”
Büro
will open in the summer, following extensive renovations.
Hmmdon. Saim Oishi closed. Word on the street is that Panther Coffee is not coming and the Surf Shop will be closing. Incubator or Inhibitor. WTF.
ReplyDeleteI think we are doomed
ReplyDeleteGood luck to them they will need it. Lots of it.
ReplyDeleteMenchies closed?
ReplyDeleteNoooooooooo I loved Menchie's. Oh well.
ReplyDelete"Oh well"? Do you know that the owners of these commercial spaces are charging such a high rate that they are pushing lower-rent places out so they can transform the area of high-end boutiques and even give the "business failures" as the excuse to demolish every single-story area in center grove.

ReplyDeleteI can't imagine they're charging a higher rate than what the former landlords were already charging.
At some point if a business is failing, than maybe the business model should be examined rather than blame it all on some conspiracy theory.
