Avra Estiatorio Opens Second South Florida Location at Lofty Brickell

Avra Estiatorio, a Greek eatery with a Manhattan origin, will open a second location in South Florida at the newest residential tower, Lofty Brickell.

Restaurateurs Nick Tsoulos, Nick Pashalis, and Marc Packer, the partners behind the upscale brand, have secured a lease for the bottom level of Brickell's Lofty condo complex by Newgard Development Group.

The 15,000 square foot, 15-year contract, which has the possibility to be extended, can seat up to 300 patrons and a 3,000 square foot outdoor seating space with views of the Miami River. The triple net asking rent was $150 per square foot.

Once Lofty Brickell is complete, Ava Estiatorio will open. Only 1,500 square feet of retail space remain at the Lofty property after the Avra lease.

The first Avra Estiatorio restaurant debuted in New York's East 48th Street in 2000. Now, the restaurant has three locations: two in Manhattan and one each in Beverly Hills.

The second South Florida location for Ava includes The Estates at Acqualina in Sunny Isles Beach which opened in November 2022.
