Expanding Horizons: Morabito Properties’ Wyncatcher Development in Wynwood
In the vibrant heart of Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, a new chapter in urban transformation is unfolding. Morabito Properties, led by developer Valerio Morabito, has embarked on an ambitious expansion of their Wyncatcher development, adding another dimension to the dynamic landscape of this iconic neighborhood.
The recent acquisition of an adjacent warehouse at 2150 NW Miami Court marks a significant milestone for Morabito Properties. This strategic move amplifies the firm’s commitment to redefining urban spaces, breathing new life into forgotten structures. With the support of a $35 million loan from BridgeInvest, Morabito Properties is poised to reimagine Wynwood’s skyline, one building at a time.
Wyncatcher is not just a development; it’s a testament to the fusion of creativity and functionality. Designed to blend seamlessly with Wynwood’s artistic flair, Wyncatcher embodies the spirit of adaptive reuse, transforming once-abandoned spaces into thriving hubs of activity. The existing Wyncatcher I, a boutique mixed-use property, is a testament to this ethos, boasting a distinctive facade adorned with murals by acclaimed artist VHILS.
Now, with the addition of Wyncatcher II, Morabito Properties is poised to set new standards in commercial innovation. Collaborating with Vagabond Architecture, known for their expertise in retrofitting existing buildings, the new structure will redefine the concept of contemporary workspace. From dynamic event spaces to cutting-edge offices and vibrant retail outlets, Wyncatcher II will cater to the diverse needs of Wynwood’s burgeoning community.
At the heart of this development lies a commitment to fostering collaboration and growth. Knotel, a flexible workspace operator backed by Newmark, has already committed to leasing Wyncatcher I, signaling confidence in Wynwood’s future as a premier business destination. With its elegant design and prime location, Wyncatcher I promises to be a magnet for innovation and creativity, offering a home for forward-thinking companies seeking to thrive in Wynwood’s dynamic ecosystem.
Valerio Morabito, CEO of Morabito Properties, encapsulates the vision driving this ambitious project. “Wynwood has evolved into a cultural hub where people want to spend their days,” he remarks. “Wyncatcher will be the community for it all.” Indeed, as Wynwood continues to attract millions of visitors annually, the expansion of Wyncatcher heralds a new era of growth and opportunity for this vibrant neighborhood.
BridgeInvest, the financing partner behind this endeavor, shares Morabito Properties’ vision for Wynwood’s future. Managing Partner Alex Horn highlights the synergy between creative financing and innovative development, underscoring the transformative impact of projects like Wyncatcher on the fabric of Wynwood’s urban landscape.
From its humble beginnings as a warehouse district, Wynwood has blossomed into a global destination for art, fashion, and innovation. With leading tech companies and top-tier hospitality offerings, Wynwood is a testament to Miami’s dynamism and diversity. And as the neighborhood continues to evolve, projects like Wyncatcher serve as beacons of progress, reshaping the city’s skyline and redefining urban living for generations to come.
Discover the Future of Luxury Living in Wynwood with Clara Homes
Miami’s vibrant Wynwood neighborhood is about to welcome an exciting addition to its skyline, and it’s set to redefine the concept of luxury rental living. Clara Homes, the renowned real estate development firm founded by James Curnin, has just secured a $7.7 million residential development site at 2601 NW 6th Avenue, spanning an impressive 17,000 square feet. This prime location in Wynwood will soon transform into a 154-residence luxury rental building, designed by the renowned architect Kobi Karp.
What sets this development apart is its commitment to providing affordable workforce housing. Clara Homes is embracing the Live Local Act by allocating at least 40% of the residences for affordable housing, ensuring that a diverse range of residents can enjoy the Wynwood lifestyle. Rising to approximately 200 feet, this luxury rental building promises to offer an unparalleled living experience.
The acquisition of this prime Wynwood site at $450 per square foot is a game-changer. It represents a remarkable 40% discount compared to other Wynwood land sales, which typically command prices ranging from $750 to $1,000 per square foot. This strategic purchase was made as a cap rate play, with attractive below-market seller financing at 5% and a sale leaseback agreement for at least a year to a year and a half.
James Curnin, the CEO and Founder of Clara Homes, is excited about the venture. He stated, “Wynwood is one of the hottest Miami markets to invest in and only continues to increase in value as new cultural, dining, and art institutions open in the neighborhood. When presented with the rare opportunity to acquire the land at such an attractive rate, we jumped at the chance to create a new rental experience in this rapidly growing part of town.”
While the project is still in the planning stages, the luxury rental building is poised to offer a comprehensive suite of premium amenities and sophisticated touches. Residents can look forward to 24-hour doormen, valet service, dedicated ground floor retail spaces, and a unique feature that’s bound to make waves – Miami’s first rooftop padel court, catering to the city’s growing interest in this global racquet sport sensation. Construction is expected to commence within the next 12-15 months and will take approximately 18 months to complete.
But that’s not all. Clara Homes is also making waves in South Florida with its first multifamily development, Clara Bay Harbor. Following the firm’s success in developing, building, and selling numerous luxury spec homes at above-market rates, Clara Bay Harbor is set to be a remarkable addition to South Florida’s real estate landscape. The development will be completed in three phases, with construction already underway for the first building located at 10281 West Bay Harbor Drive.
The future of luxury living in Wynwood is bright, and Clara Homes is at the forefront of this exciting transformation. Stay tuned for updates on this remarkable project and Clara Homes’ continued dedication to redefining real estate development in South Florida.

Both projects were created by Rilea Group. Jaxi Builders is in charge of demolishing Mohawk in Wynwood, and DeForma Studio is in charge of the design. The exterior of Mohawk at Wynwood will emulate metal-accented Chicago brick facades. Mohawk in Wynwood is located at 50 N.E. 29th Street, Miami, Florida 33137.
111 Wynwood Mixed-Use Project Plans Have Been Filed
The 111 Wynwood mixed-use project’s plans have recently been submitted with plans to add 12,106 square feet of commercial space to the current structure. 111 Wynwood will be located on First Avenue in Wynwood, which was originally designated as a pedestrian walkway.
The mixed-use building will be used for multiple restaurants/bars, meetings, and office spaces.
The building exterior, created by Touzet Studio, consists of a low level that swoops widely as it turns from 25th Street to First Avenue. A designated woonerf, First Avenue, is where the lower level interacts with the taller level, which is the main façade. The Mezzanine and Second Floor venues are accessed primarily by a wide staircase off of First Avenue as part of the building layout that accommodates pedestrians. First Avenue also leads to the recessed elevator’s lobby.
Large vitrines that protrude beyond the building’s surface and the deep recess that houses the stairway and benches are used to break up the taller volume’s architectural concrete surface. The lobby’s glass wall and a two-story, fissured, cast-concrete wall that has pockets of plant growing in it line one side of the stairway. From linear beams that go from the fissured wall to the multi-story lobby, flowering vines cascade down over the staircase.
The length of the ground level of the lower volume consists of a vitrine punctuated by glass entry doors set back into the volume. The double-height volume that fronts the corner and a portion of the 26th Street facade is illuminated by a long horizontal glass band. At the western end of the volume, the glass gives way to an open-air terrace at the Mezzanine level. The roof terrace above the lower volume serves as a dining terrace for the Second Floor venue. Horizontal planes, with rendered soffits, hover over portions of the roof terrace and over the arrival court at the top of the staircase.
The mural, which was created by Carlos Prio-Touzet and Touzet Studio, is a stylized representation of a coral rock surface that would appear on an architectural drawing. Here, a trompe l’oeil effect is subverted by the graphic’s sarcastic transformation into the cladding itself. Astro created the spiraling murals on the two bigger faces.
On July 18, there will be a hearing before the Wynwood Design Review Committee. The application was submitted by BH Wynwood Hotel LLC.
Arlo Hotel Now Open and it’s Wynwood’s Very First Hotel
Wynwood now has the newest hotel from independent, experience-driven hotel chain Arlo Hotels, which already operates hotels in Miami Beach and other parts of New York City. Arlo Wynwood, a new hotel in Miami’s most unique area, combines art and peace with nonstop entertainment.
The hotel is the first to open in Miami’s premier creative and cultural neighborhood, which is home to the most street art in the entire world. With guest rooms starting at $239 a night, the 9-story hotel, with 217 rooms will be a cultural hub for locals and tourists alike and offer intelligent travelers prime access to the best of the area.
The hotel’s signature restaurant, MaryGold’s, a “Florida brasserie,” was designed by the James Beard-nominated team of Brad Kilgore and Bar Lab and is located to your right as you enter.
The hotel was created by Meyer Davis, a highly esteemed company at the forefront of international, luxury commercial design. It embraces an eclectic industrial look where organic meets modern while drawing on the neighborhood’s bold and well-curated creative nature.
A flawlessly balanced tension between the natural and the artificial is achieved by contrasting warm, earthy materials with crisp, modern finishes and vibrant accents that create subtle richness through a delightfully welcoming palette. In keeping with the Arlo Hotels brand, the establishment’s sizable living room and lounge areas foster amicable interactions and creative connections among visitors, employees, and members of the neighborhood. The spaciousness of the main spaces reflects the friendly vibe that distinguishes Wynwood.
The property’s rooftop pool and bar, which are now only accessible to guests, are its main attractions. Huge red and white striped umbrellas and cabanas line the edge of the pool.
The airport is only roughly 15 minutes away from the hotel, and the Brightline station is even closer. Wynwood is Arlo’s fifth site; the other four are the Nautilus in Miami and three other hotels in New York City.
According to CEO of Quadrum Global of Arlo Hotels, Oleg Pavlov, “Wynwood is one of the most vibrant districts in Miami. We’ve been eager to develop a hotel in the neighborhood, and with an increasing number of tech-forward businesses moving their headquarters to Wynwood, we feel this is a great time. The year-over-year hotel occupancy in the broader downtown market has grown nearly 30%. We’re thrilled to debut Arlo Wynwood as the premier hotel in the neighborhood. The property will embody Wynwood’s renowned artistic flair and offer first-rate restaurants, bars, wellness programming, and entertainment for guests and locals alike.”
Pharrell Williams Unveils Billionaire Boys Club’s Wynwood Flagship
Fans of the upscale streetwear company Billionaire Boys Club (BBC)/ICECREAM are in for a treat with its newest 5,000-square-foot location designed by Snarkitecture in Miami’s Wynwood. Pharrell Williams and NIGO founded the retail company, which has been shaping societal conventions since 2003 with its cutting-edge collaborations and statement artwork with a sporty flair.
Williams has a long history of influencing Miami culture through several hotel-related projects, most notably The Goodtime Hotel, which he co-founded with Groot Hospitality chief David Grutman. His most recent BBC location in Wynwood is sure to bring about a fresh surge of success for the retail industry.
According to Williams, “I’m very grateful that we have the opportunity to bring our flagship store to Miami. It’s going to be a place where people can come in to get inspired by the mix of fashion, culture, art, and design. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve created here, it’s really special.”
By designing the store as an art gallery in an effort to inspire new forms of customer connection, the founders have produced an immersive brand experience that has transformed the D2C paradigm, the brand’s other U.S. flagship located in New York.
While the inside design was imagined through the eyes of an artist and will display regional and international works, the exterior walls of the store will act as a blank canvas for specific art installations by affiliated artists.
With its brick-and-mortar facility situated in a neighborhood infused with the same street spirit the company is established upon, BBC ICECREAM intends to tap into the creative energy of the locals.
The store, which is both modern and earthy, serves as an appropriate backdrop for enduring brands like Bee Line, Human Made, Adidas, MEDICOM, and more, as well as for special collaborative products from designers like Bunny Shapiro and CDG Play, selected by Sarah Andelman.
According to Alexandre, the overall goal of BBC ICECREAM is to act as a platform for creatives, which is what Pharrell and NIGO kept in mind while they created the brand and incorporated its numerous cultural facets.
