Apple to Open Adjacent to Nichols Architects Jewel Box – Commercial Observer
After months of speculation, Apple is officially coming to Miami Worldcenter, the 27-acre megadevelopment in Downtown Miami, according to a leasehold agreement filed to Miami-Dade County.
Construction of the one-story, stand-alone retail building at 725 NE First Avenue has been underway since November. The $12 million development, which sits on a 18,600-square-foot site, is at the corner of Northeast Eighth Street, just west of Nichols Architects’ Jewel Box retail building.
Miami Worldcenter is one of the largest private projects in the country, similar to New York’s Hudson Yards. Led by master developers CIM Group, Art Falcone and Nitin Motwani, the mixed-use development is set to feature about 300,000 square feet of retail space.
Sephora, Lululemon, and Ray-Ban stores have already opened. Other upcoming retail tenants include Starbucks, The Container Store, Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty, and a bar concept by Nick Jonas on the Jewel Box rooftop, among others.
