Miami Worldcenter has secured dining and entertainment concept Sports & Social as its latest restaurant tenant.
It will open in 20,000 square feet within the $4 billion mixed-use development’s “jewel box” retail building, steps away from the FTX Arena. Miami- and New York-based Icrave designed the location.
“Every restaurant and store that will open at Miami Worldcenter is carefully selected to ensure the ultimate live-work-play experience that appeals to downtown Miami’s growing residential and commercial population,” said Nitin Motwani, managing partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates, in a news release.
Sports & Social, owned by the Baltimore-based Cordish Cos.’ Live hospitality arm, currently has nine locations open nationwide. It is slated to open its first South Florida outpost at Sweetwater’s Dolphin Mall this winter.
Sports & Social will join Miami Worldcenter’s lineup of recently announced tenants, including two food and beverage concepts by acclaimed chef Michael Beltran, Brasserie Laurel and El Vecino. Chicago’s Maple & Ash and Etta restaurants have also signed leases there.
Sephora, Lucid Motors and Bowlero are among the tenants signed last year to leases within Miami Worldcenter’s 110,000 square feet of retail space.
The development’s retail leasing is led by California-based CIM Group and Miami-based Comras Co.
The largest completed buildings in the project are the Paramount Miami Worldcenter condominium, Caoba apartments, CitizenM hotel, Bezel apartments by ZOM Living and retail spaces. Construction is underway on the Legacy Hotel & Residences and Blue Zones Medical and Wellbeing Center, an apartment tower by Lalezarian Properties, the second phase of the Caoba apartments, and the “jewel box” retail building.

Shadowwood Square, within the Hamptons neighborhood, was completed in 1982 and totals 220,426 square feet.
“With many businesses seeking to make their mark in the tri-county area, we are seeing an influx of family-focused businesses migrating to Boca Raton, a growing, family-oriented neighborhood,” Terranova Chairman Stephen Bittel said in a news release.
Miami Beach-based Terranova Corp. brokered the leases for the new tenants on behalf of the landlord.
