CocoWalk announces new eclectic mix of tenants

As the redevelopment of CocoWalk progresses, four new retail concepts have signed leases to move in when they reopen to the public next year. Joining the center’s tenant mix will be Mister 01 Extraordinary Pizza as we shared with you here. They are an Italian pizzeria that has become one of Miami’s most popular pizzerias; Edward Beiner, a homegrown luxury eyewear boutique that will return to CocoWalk; School of Rock, a national concept that offers music lessons led by veteran composers for both children and adults; and The Spot Barbershop, which offers classic and contemporary haircuts along with grooming services for the gentlemen of Miami.

The Spot Barbershop offers a modern setting. From hot towel shave treatments and trendy haircuts to straight razor shaves and additional a la carte services, the ambiance and skilled barbers make each visit more than just a haircut, they make it a true gentleman’s experience. The Spot Barbershop, set to occupy 1,200 square feet on the second floor of CocoWalk, has 14 locations across Florida.

School of Rock is very popular at the King Mango Strut ever year, these kids are excellent, you've probably seen, and heard them. They are open to children and adults, rookies and experienced musicians, the programs at the school are designed to inspire students to learn and develop a strong musical proficiency. The School of Rock will span 3,200 square feet on the second floor at CocoWalk. The music school, with several locations in South Florida, performs thousands of shows across the world each year. 

And Edward Beiner was a long-time tenant at CocoWalk, who many of you have probably visited or at least seen. A brand known for its carefully curated selection of artisanal eyewear, Beiner was inspired by a lifelong quest to create the world’s most imaginative, trendsetting, and high-tech eyeglasses.

In addition to 150,000 square feet of new experiential retail, dining and entertainment space, the redevelopment will encompass a 85,762-square-foot, Class A office building – One Cocowalk – which includes a 21,000 square-foot Penthouse on the 5th floor. They have been putting beautiful dark blue/black glass on the face of the building these past two weeks and you can really get a look and feel for the place now.

CocoWalk is scheduled to open in phases over the next 18 months.

Los Generales Mezcal & Grill was the first restaurant to sign on at the new CocoWalk. It is the creation of several top chefs from Mexico, including TV personality Chef Aquiles Chavez. Located on the third floor of CocoWalk, the 7,500-square-foot space will include a rooftop terrace overlooking the new interior courtyard and Grand Avenue.

“Our vision for CocoWalk is to attract a diverse mix of local concepts and national and international brands that will meet the everyday needs of Coconut Grove’s residents and families, businesses and visitors,” says Stuart Biel, Senior Vice President of Regional Leasing at Federal Realty Investment Trust.

CocoWalk was just given an "approval of noise ordinance" by the City of Miami, where they can work through the night from 7 pm to 5 am from June 17 through August 17, 2019, so things should be moving fast now that they have the extra work hours.
