NeueHouse Announces Casa Tua Partnership and Miami Expansion

NeueHouse, the private workspace and cultural home for creators, innovators and thought-leaders, has announced its expansion into Miami, bringing its US locations to a total of five. NeueHouse Miami, in partnership with private members’ club, hotel and restaurant, Casa Tua, will be the second east coast location, alongside NeueHouse Madison Square, located in Manhattan. The build out of the space, located on the border of Midtown and Design District, is expected to be completed by late 2020.

“We are thrilled to bring NeueHouse to Miami in collaboration with Casa Tua to provide the local community with access to the best elevated work and event spaces, as well as refined hospitality and culture, which is true to our shared mission of delivering new and original concepts and experience,” said Josh Wyatt, CEO of NeueHouse. “A leader in art, design and fashion, Miami is an exciting addition for our members and growing community, and we’re looking forward to bringing our combined brand offering to the tastemakers and industry leaders of Miami.” 

To deliver on its hospitality promise and to captivate Miami’s discerning, local creative and entrepreneurial communities, NeueHouse’s Miami location will offer a culinary partnership with Casa Tua. Founded in 2001 by Italian-born visionary Miky Grendene and his wife Leticia Herrera-Grendene, Casa Tua’s flagship property, nestled in a historic villa in the heart of Miami Beach, is part culinary destination, part boutique hotel and private members club. NeueHouse Miami will offer F&B by Casa Tua, providing NeueHouse members their singular approach to soulful Italian cuisine and impeccable service.

“We are excited to partner with NeueHouse for their first Miami venture,” says Grendene. “Both Casa Tua and NeueHouse are committed to offering best in class experiences in each city we operate. Our brands share a similar DNA and passion for developing cultural communities and meaningful hospitality experiences. With this natural synergy, together we will achieve a far greater result through this strategic partnership. We look forward to creating something unbelievable with NeueHouse and supporting the City of Miami’s growth in this emerging cultural corridor.” 

The property is slated to open in late 2020, adding to the list of notable activities, which have taken place in recent months, including a series of cultural events in partnership with Frieze art fair, highlighted by the commission of a notable piece of public art by the iconic Barbara Kruger.

NeueHouse, which raised $30 million in funding in Fall 2018 under the new leadership of CEO Josh Wyatt, continues to innovate across workspace design and hospitality and scaling its cultural programming platform, to deliver a truly differentiated experience to a community of original thinkers and thought-leaders. Both the New York and Los Angeles flagship locations (Madison Square and Hollywood) are at capacity and have waitlists, including the latest luxury private suite product, Eleven Madison Square. 

NeueHouse offers four membership tiers.
