The deal brings Melissa’s first store in Florida as the shoe brand is exploding onto the fashion scene through other retailers, including Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Melissa is the original “jelly” shoe born in 1979 in Brazil. For over 30 years the Melissa label has been creating and designing shoes that are exported to all parts of the world. Melissa shoes have risen to the top of musthave list as designers Vivienne Westwood, Jason Wu, Alessandra Ambrosio and Karl Lagerfeld have collaborated with Melissa’s owner to create an entire array of feminine, flattering styles favored by fashion icons that include Carey Mulligan, Kate Moss and Pamela Anderson. Mini Melissa, a line for kids, has become a footwear staple of Victoria Beckham’s toddler Harper Beckham. The first and only U.S. Melissa store opened last year in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood.

Eco-friendliness is part of the Melissa brand appeal. Melissa shoes are made from a companypatented malleable plastic that molds to the foot, breathes well, is hypoallergenic and odorless. Melissa recycles 99.9% of factory water and waste, and overstock styles are recycled into next season’s collection.

“Melissa is the kind of cutting-edge fashion we want Lincoln Road to be known for,” said Courtial, who frequently sports Melissa shoes. “Shoppers are going to love them.”

Terranova Signs Lease With Le Macaron For Miracle Mile

MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA – April 3, 2013 – Terranova Corpora is pleased to announce it has signed a deal with sweets shop Le Macaron French Pastries, which will sell its signature almond-meringue based confections out of a new location on Coral Gables’ Miracle Mile.

Le Macaron signed a three-year deal for 1,497 square feet at 208 Miracle Mile, where it is projected to open in fourth quarter 2013. Terranova Executive Vice President Mindy McIlroy and leasing director Isabelle Courtial represented the landlord in the Miracle Mile deal, valued at nearly $250,000. The Miracle Mile location will be Le Macaron’s second store in Miami-Dade County, and its owners say they plan additional locations.

The new pastry shop on Miracle Mile will serve coffee, gelato and other sweets, but its piece de resistance is the macaron, a traditional French treat that has had its own renaissance, becoming the most fashionable sweet in Paris and the trendiest gift for holidays and special occasions.

Macarons (which have nothing to do with similar-sounding but completely different coconut macaroons) look like tiny pastel-colored hamburgers, and have a light, crunchy, airy texture made of almond powder, egg whites and sugar. Pastry chefs at Le Macaron then take this to the next mouthwatering level by sandwiching chocolate ganache, gourmet-flavored homemade jam or pastry crème in between two of the almond cookies.

“I was delighted to find macarons here in South Florida, because it was a taste of home that hadn’t crossed the Atlantic until very recently, and only to New York,” said Courtial, a French native who now lives in Miami Beach. “They’re getting increasingly popular as more people discover them, and the new Miracle Mile store will give them great exposure in a European-style café that people will visit for desert or a snack or to get a macaron arrangement for a gift or an event.”

Terranova leases space for temporary gap store in lincoln road district

/in ,

MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA – November 27, 2012 – Terranova Corporation is pleased to announce it has signed a lease with Gap, providing a temporary store for the popular retailer while it builds its new multi-story location on Lincoln Road.

Terranova executive vice president Mindy McIlroy and leasing director Isabelle Courtial represented the landlord in the transaction.

Gap will open a new location just off Lincoln Road at 1669 Meridian Ave., two blocks away from Gap’s current location at 1001 Lincoln. The existing Gap store will close by early 2013, when Gap will begin redeveloping the building into a two-level, 20,000-square foot flagship store. During construction, Gap will stay open for business at the Meridian Avenue location.

“Gap will be able to maintain an active presence on the Lincoln Road district, while going through construction of their fabulous new store,” Terranova’s McIlroy said. “We were really happy to be able to provide this solution, which also contributes to the ongoing spread of Lincoln Road’s intense retail activity onto the connecting streets.”

Gap plans to demolish most of the 1001 Lincoln building and create a new store with a modern look but will preserve the building’s historic contribution to Lincoln Road’s architecture.
