Miami, FL. [Sept. 20, 2021] -- One year after River Landing Shops & Residences opened, five new tenants are set to join the 8.14-acre development along the scenic Miami River west of Downtown Miami. Four new retail tenants and one new office tenant will occupy close to 9,000 square feet of space, bringing River Landing Shops to approximately 90% leased. 

The new national and locally based tenants are a perfect complement to the existing tenant mix at River Landing, which has become the heart and soul of the community surrounded by the up-and-coming Allapattah and Miami’s Health District. The tenant mix offers customers a unique experience on the bank of the Miami River, one of Miami’s jewels.

The new leases signed recently are:

• P.Pole Pizza, a Coral Gables-based restaurant geared toward millennials and Generation Z, is leasing 1,400 square feet of retail space on the center’s first floor. The restaurant is known for its skateboard-shaped, 13-inch thin-crust artisan pies featuring pizza doughs made fresh daily, a variety of sauces, more than 40 toppings and low prices. P.Pole Pizza is scheduled to open at River Landing Shops in the first quarter of 2022.

• Publix Liquors will occupy 1,290 square feet on its first floor and is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2021. The liquor store, part of the popular Publix Super Markets brand that currently has a location at River Landing, offers a variety of wine, beer, soft drinks, and accessories, all in one convenient location. 

• Carrot Express will occupy 2,000 square feet on the first floor and is scheduled to open in first quarter of 2022. Since 1993, Carrot Express has been a hub for wellness in Miami. The restaurant offers a balance of delicious and nutritious foods to make their health-conscious meals tasty. 

• CKO Boxing Gym will occupy 3,100 square feet on its third floor and is on track to open in the first quarter of 2022. Founded in 1997, the gym offers fun and engaging group fitness classes to help the everyday person lose weight by burning fat and toning muscle.

• The Charter Agency signed a lease for 1,000 square feet of office space. The Charter Agency delivers best-in-class yachting and deep-sea fishing charters, from Florida to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, and will also operate the boat docks at River Landing Shops via the “River Landing Yacht Club” coming soon.

“As our project has come to life over the last year, we have continued to see strong interest in River Landing Shops & Residences from both retailers and office tenants,” said Andrew Hellinger, co-partner of Coral Gables-based Urban-X Group, the developer behind the 2.2 million-square-foot development owned by Canada-based H&R REIT. “River Landing was designed to become the heart and soul of this community, and our carefully curated retail and lifestyle tenants are the perfect fit for the residents who live in the region, those who work in River Landing and the surrounding area, and those who visit the Mid River District on a daily basis. We couldn’t be more proud of the impressive list of tenants who have chosen to call River Landing home. River Landing is not only creating jobs, but also creating a vibrant environment where the community congregates and gets to enjoy Miami at its finest.” 

Some of River Landing’s other national and regional retail and restaurant tenants include Publix Supermarkets, Ross Dress For Less, Burlington Stores, Hobby Lobby, Five Below, Chase Bank, AT&T, Planet Fitness, Old Navy, Ulta Beauty, Sapphire Prive Med Spa, Pediatric Dental Center, Aspen Dental, Chick-fil-A, Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, Ficelle Boulangerie & Pâtisserie, and Tanuki. 

River Landing is located at 1500 NW North River Drive, just steps away from the Health District, with a daytime population of more than 50,000. Strategically located between downtown Miami and Miami International Airport, River Landing is helping to meet the growing demand for quality discount retail, grocery, banking, and lifestyle services. It is one of the few retail, office, and residential developments that is accessible by boat in Miami.

By incorporating the Miami River into the project, River Landing offers shoppers an experience that can’t be replicated by online shopping. The development offers a large open, outdoor atrium that connects the retail stores and creates a communal space for residents and visitors to enjoy. Its design merges interior and exterior environments, allowing retailers to extend into the riverfront patio and atrium spaces to enhance the overall customer experience.

River Landing consists of approximately 360,000 square feet of retail/commercial space, 135,000 square feet of Class A office, 528 market-rate apartments, more than 2,000 parking spaces and a landscaped Riverwalk. The diverse retail tenant mix serves residents of River Landing, the surrounding community, and River Landing’s office tenants. Office tenants at River Landing include the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office (SAO), which is set to occupy 49,379 square feet, among others. 

River Landing is close to two Metrorail stations and the rapid transit system that connects all the major hospitals and research centers to Downtown Miami, East Kendall and Hialeah as well as the Tri-Rail, a commuter rail line linking Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. River Landing is also served by Miami's Trolley system and is located at the crossroads of Miami-Dade’s main thoroughfares: Interstate 95 and State Road 836.
