Go Greek Yogurt has expanded its footprint in Miami, securing a second location in Coconut Grove’s iconic Mayfair, alongside its highly anticipated debut at the Miami Worldcenter. By introducing authentic Mediterranean yogurt to these two vibrant areas, Go Greek continues to enhance Miami's culinary offerings and establish itself as a standout in the local market. The Miami Worldcenter deal was represented by Irma Figueroa and Max Gelband for the tenant in both locations, with Michael Silverman and Jeff Evans representing the landlord. Comras Company played a pivotal role in bringing Go Greek Yogurt to both Miami Worldcenter—now 95% leased and home to tenants like Sixty Vines, Savage Fenty, and Apple—and Coconut Grove, demonstrating their expertise in curating premier retail destinations across South Florida.

Food halls across the UK and Europe have increased by 50% over the past seven years. Over the last few years, we’ve seen a decline in physical retailers and firms reducing their office spaces due to the increase in hybrid/remote working. Thanks to their "pop-up" nature, food halls offer an attractive development opportunity for these empty spaces. By sharing infrastructure costs, they sidestep the lengthy lead times and financial burdens which often come with development. And as the market continues to grow, several key players are emerging: → Time Out: They host nine food halls across four continents, with seven more sites in development. Time Out Market Lisbon has become the city's most popular tourist attraction. → Boxpark: Expanding its hybrid retail and food-and-beverage model, they opened sites in Liverpool and Camden earlier this year and will be in Birmingham in 2025. → Mercato Metropolitano: Successfully opened three new sites in the past five years, building on the popularity of its original location in Elephant & Castle. Do you think food halls are here to stay? #hospitality #retail #realestate

The challenge in Sydney is clear: creating vibrant Food & Beverage destinations to drive repeat visitation. Sydney's waterfront areas like Bangaroo and Darling Harbour struggle post-6 pm, needing more vitality. Without repeat visitors, finding fresh faces daily is a hurdle. The City of Sydney needs a transformation. It's not a walkable city and lacks amenities to attract locals and families. A celebratory hub, a sense of place, needs to be included. Decades of insufficient affordable rental accommodation have pushed key city workers to the Outer suburbs, turning Sydney into a "Tuesday to Thursday" CBD. This shift poses a threat to small businesses citywide. To thrive, new strategies must address Sydney's historic rental accommodation shortage, the worst in its history. #Sydney #CityTransformation #RentalHousingChallenge #Harropfactor

It’s not all shiny restaurants and vibey venues at onepoint2. We take pride in the network that we’ve built, and the knack that we have developed to connect people and places, and to add value very quickly. What seemed like an off-hand comment, a footnote to one conversation with our client Amy Poon Mackenzie actually became the main event of the call. As their business grows, with a restaurant site on the way, Amy mentioned that they’d love to find a small light industrial facility for storage, production and, ideally, somewhere with a group of likeminded independent food businesses, and maybe even a place where tenants rolled up their shutters from time to time to sell to the general public. Amy didn’t suppose that there were many such locations - but it turns out that we had the key to the door of one of them, and I connected the dots immediately. Because we are also proud to represent the iconic Monmouth Coffee Company (have we ever mentioned that we love coffee?), who carefully manage the Spa Terminus estate in Bermondsey. There, they protect the mix of artisans and independent food businesses, opening up the doors now and then, precisely as Amy had described. Almost instantly, we introduced Poon’s to the opportunity and facilitated a speedy deal. Not our biggest deal, but a proud example of how the network and market knowledge that we have developed over years in the business saved our client valuable time trawling the market looking at different light industrial units (come on, not exactly a barrel of laughs) to focus on accelerating the business unimpeded, with delicious, authentic Chinese delights. #property #leisure #hospitality #opportunitiesunlocked #onepoint2

Are You Set Up to Succeed? The wave of restaurant closures in Miami isn’t just about mom-and-pops anymore...it’s hitting big names like TGI Fridays and Outback. The cause? A perfect storm of inflation, sky-high rents, rising food costs, and cutthroat competition. In Miami, the golden rule of keeping rent at 10% of your sales is almost impossible. Add in labor shortages and razor-thin profit margins, and it’s easy to see why so many doors are closing. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be this way. A smart lease, a solid business model, and knowing how to adapt to market pressures can mean the difference between shutting down and staying in the game. And success starts with the right location. Not every neighborhood is built for your concept—and putting your business in the wrong spot can cost you everything. Whether it’s an area oversaturated with similar offerings or one where your target customers just don’t go, location matters. At F+B Miami, we don’t just look for available spaces—we dig into the details. What makes sense for your concept? Where’s the audience that will show up for you again and again? And how can we avoid the traps that sink so many restaurants before they even get started? It’s not just about finding a space. It’s about finding the right space, in the right neighborhood, with the right strategy. 💬 Ready to make it happen? Hit us up—we’ll help you land in the perfect spot for your concept to succeed. #miamihospitality #miamicommercialrealestate #miaminews #miamifoodscene #realestatemotivation #miamibroker #southfloridabroker #newtomiami #miamiforrent #dealclosed #miamiforsale #miamibrokerage #realestatelifestyle #miamiforlease #realestateinspo #miamirealtor #realestatemiami #southfloridabrokerage #southfloridarealestate #realestatemiamifl #realestatecontent
