New York-Based Hospitality Concepts Add a New Level of Sophistication to Wynwood’s Culinary Scene
As the Wynwood Arts District continues to evolve into a vibrant enclave marked by world-class restaurants, stylish cocktail bars and eclectic cafes, some of the most notable names in New York City hospitality are now making a play for the neighborhood.
Offering a diverse mix of dining options, designer boutiques and a thriving arts scene, including more than 70 art galleries, Wynwood inspired many Silicon Valley companies such as Founders Fund and Atomic to relocate in recent years. New restaurant and hospitality concepts — several with New York origins — soon followed, adding to Wynwood’s dining and nightlife.
“Wynwood is swiftly becoming the SoHo of South Florida,” said Nick Pérez, Senior Vice President for Related Group, the developer behind the forthcoming NoMad Residences Wynwood and the single most active developer in the neighborhood. “The culinary transformation is pretty incredible, especially when you consider that seven of the restaurants listed in Miami’s Michelin guide are located in Wynwood, alongside many five-star restaurants. The impact that’s having on the neighborhood’s appeal cannot be understated.”
Among the many world-class culinary offerings now calling Wynwood home is Pastis, which will open its doors at New York-based developer Tricap’s 380 Northwest 26th Street in 2023. Driven by two James Beard Award-winning restaurateurs, Keith McNally and Stephen Starr, the Wynwood restaurant signifies Pastis’ first South Florida location, and will feature the classic bistro fare for which the Manhattan institution is known.
Other New York transplants include the Brooklyn import, Freehold, a unique hospitality concept that offers a hotel-like experience without hotel rooms. Encompassing more than 10,000 square feet, Freehold Miami includes a cafe, two bars, a coffee shop and ample co-working space. Wynwood residents can now also snag a slice of New York-style pizza, thanks to the arrival of Shelter, a popular Brooklyn shop, along with iconic eateries Joe’s Pizza and Prince Street Pizza.
The most highly anticipated New York arrival is the NoMad Residences Wynwood, the first hospitality-infused residential concept from global hospitality icon, NoMad Hotels. Developed by Related Group in partnership with Tricap and co-created with the acclaimed hospitality firm Sydell Group, NoMad Residences Wynwood will soon set the standard for the area’s food and beverage experiences.
“Similar to how NoMad New York is credited for transforming Manhattan’s North of Madison enclave into one of the city’s most in-demand neighborhoods, we feel strongly that the NoMad Residences Wynwood will contribute to Wynwood’s explosive growth, leading it to become a top destination within Miami,” said Pérez.
At the heart of this promise is the property’s best-in-class food and beverage offerings, which will be open to the public and include a signature rooftop restaurant and mixology bar concept, The NoMad Bar. The restaurant will be helmed by James Beard Award Winner Leo Robitschek, Vice President, Food & Beverage at Sydell Group and the former Bar Director for New York City’s three-Michelin Star restaurant Eleven Madison Park. On NoMad Wynwood’s ground floor, residents and the community can enjoy a Casa Tua Cucina, an expansive open-kitchen concept offering simple, yet expertly crafted Italian and Mediterranean fare.
The popularity of the NoMad brand has directly translated into robust sales activity at NoMad Residences Wynwood. Related reports having signed contracts on more than 50% of the building’s condominium homes, including a unit at roughly $2,000 per square foot, which shattered neighborhood price records.
“We know that buyers appreciate the luxury and exclusivity that comes with living in a hotel-branded residential property, especially one that is associated with an established flag such as NoMad,” adds Pérez. “We are confident that the NoMad Residences Wynwood will exceed their expectations for a hospitality-centric living experience.”
Designed in collaboration with globally-renowned partners DesignAgency and Arquitectonica, the nine-story building offers 329 turnkey homes. Layouts range from studios to two bedrooms, each featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies. All units will come fully furnished, with packages thoughtfully curated by DesignAgency.
Uniquely developed with no rental restrictions, buyers will have the option to rent their homes to guests for any period of time. A skilled in-house property management team will efficiently manage check-in and check-out processes.
Adding to the hospitality-focused experience, residents and their guests can take advantage of a full-suite of resort-style amenities, including an expansive rooftop lounge with panoramic views of downtown Miami, a fully serviced pool and sun deck, private cabanas, and a state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor fitness lounge.
Additional on-site highlights include a card room and private dining room. For art enthusiasts, many of the walls throughout the building will feature museum-quality works from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection, with sections of the building commissioned to artists in ode to Wynwood.
Pricing for NoMad Wynwood’s available units begins at $600,000. For more information or to arrange a private tour of the sales gallery, please visit nomadwynwood.com or call (786) 437-3355.
