A new food hall is set to open in the former Time Out Market space in Miami Beach. City Food Hall has leased a 20,900-square-foot venue at 1601 Drexel Avenue, near Lincoln Road, and plans to open next summer, according to information from the tenant’s broker.
Irma Figueroa of Comras Company represented City Food Hall in the lease agreement, while Dillon Maya of Avenue acted for the landlord. The Miami-based company, led by Peter Rounce, already operates locations across Florida in West Palm Beach, Destin, Gainesville, and Orlando. It also intends to expand into Athens, Georgia. Camila Dulcetti of Nova Design will be responsible for designing the interior of the South Beach location.
Time Out Market previously operated at this address but closed its South Beach branch in 2023 after four years. The venue was closed for almost a year during pandemic-related lockdowns. Paul Cejas—former U.S. ambassador to Belgium under President Bill Clinton and chairman of PLC Investments—owns the building through an affiliate.
In another development, Blu Hospitality Group will bring its first South Florida restaurant to River Landing Shops & Residences on Northwest North River Drive in Miami. Blu has signed a lease for 6,500 square feet at River Landing’s restaurant row overlooking the Miami River and expects to open next year with features such as a terrace bar and private mezzanine.
River Landing is a mixed-use complex completed by Urban-X Group in 2020 that includes apartments, retail space, offices and dedicated restaurant areas.
