Urban X Group and the Toronto-based H&R Real Estate Investment Trust have officially celebrated the grand opening of River Landing Shops & Residences, located at 1400 NW River Drive along the Miami River. The announcement comes on the heels of the projects completion earlier this year where the first phase of retailers were allowed to open in May 2020. The ownership team delayed the official grand opening for the project until retailers were more comfortable with the economy in the post-COVID-19 world. The project originally broke ground in March 2017 and cost roughly $425 million to develop.

River Landing Shops & Residences brings in excess of 2.2 million SF of total development to the Miami River including 528 market-rate apartments; 135,000 square feet of office space; 345,000 square feet of retail; and, 2,200 parking spaces. The retail component of the project is currently 70% leased. Retail tenants include Publix, Chase Bank, Planet Fitness, TJ Maxx, AT&T, West Marine, Ross Dress For Less, Burlington Stores, Chick-Fil-A, Old Navy, Ficellas Bakery, Five Below and a Hobby Lobby. The project will also bring a 50’ wide linear park designed by Savino & Miller Design Studio, who is the landscape architect for the project.

Leasing for the office component at River Landing Shops & Residences launched in August 2020 with the first residents moving into the residential component in October. The residential component is managed by Lantower Residential, a subsidiary of H&R REIT.
