MIAMI BEACH, FL – July 30, 2018 – Terranova Corporation, South Florida’s leading commercial real estate firm, has announced a plethora of new tenants opening in two of its most prestigious retail locations in Miami-Dade County – Coral Gables’ Miracle Mile and Miami Beach’s coveted world-famous pedestrian thoroughfare Lincoln Road.
On Lincoln Road, three new restaurants and a café embracing the diversity of Miami Beach’s local and tourist populations, join the vibrant mix of dining destinations and retail outlets on the Road. At the same time, Miracle Mile welcomes two fast casual restaurants and a unisex salon and spa to the Mile in tandem with the completion of the city’s streetscape beautification project. In June 2018, Terranova announced the first wave of vendors (there will be 16 in total) many of them exciting new local concepts in their first brick and mortar location, that have signed on to their new 9,600 square foot food hall, The Lincoln Eatery (TLE), located just north of Lincoln Road. TLE is slated to open in December 2018.
This eclectic group of new restaurants, carefully selected for their local flavor, all have roots in the Miami melting pot:
Taverna, a full-service Argentine-Italian bar & grill opened on July 9, 2018 at 719 Lincoln Road. With a moderately-priced menu featuring salads, steaks, seafood, pizza and pasta, the rustic restaurant encompasses more than 3000 square feet.
7 Spices Restaurant is a full-service Mediterranean-American restaurant serving lunch and dinner daily opened July 29, 2018 at 610 Lincoln Road. With combined seating for over 100 the modern eatery will offer Greek, Turkish and Lebanese cuisine with sharable plates and specialty entrees including chicken and beef shawarma, and a bar serving wine and beer.
From V&E Restaurant Group, who own and operate successful bar, restaurant and nightlife venues in South Florida, Mexico and Las Vegas, La Cerveceria de Barrio will open at 835 Lincoln Road in August. A seafood restaurant with multiple locations throughout Mexico, La Cerveceria’s Lincoln Road location will represent the first U.S. outpost for the concept with indoor/outdoor seating for close to 200 with a full bar and daily lunch and dinner service.
Another V&E concept, Havana to Miami, will open later this year just off Lincoln Road at 1656 Meridian Avenue. Offering a quick stop for cafecitos and pastelitos, the café will be among the first to occupy Terranova’s recently developed micro suites – ground floor units featuring glass nano walls that open to bring the outside in. At approximately 400 square feet, the retail micro unit is a relatively new phenomenon Lincoln Road. “Micro suites create opportunities for more local and start up concepts to locate themselves in a bustling and enviable location without a great deal of risk, “offers Terranova’s chairman and founder Stephen Bittel.
On the heels of a recently completed streetscape project which included widened sidewalks and outdoor seating, Miracle Mile – downtown Coral Gables’ pedestrian friendly major retail corridor, is also welcoming a number of exciting new merchants to The City Beautiful mix.
Opening later this summer, Well Groomed Image Consultants at 261 Miracle Mile, represents the expansion of Well Groomed Gentlemen; a luxurious men’s barbershop and spa located at 130 Miracle Mile. In its new space, encompassing almost 1,700 square feet, the popular concept will add women’s services to its roster.
Popular South Florida concept Carrot Express continues its domination of the healthy fast casual market with the opening of its fifth South Florida location at 259 Miracle Mile later this summer. With something for everyone and perfect for a quick lunch onsite or on the go, Carrot Express offers a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian sandwiches and salads to choose from along with signature wraps, simply grilled chicken dishes and poké bowls.
Established in Spain in 1939, popular multi-unit Rodilla will make its U.S. debut in early 2019 at 135 Miracle Mile. Offering hot and cold sandwiches, pastries, frappes, and ice creams, the first American outlet will occupy 1,900 square feet of café space.
The refurbishment of Miracle Mile ties in perfectly to Coral Gables’ evolution into a city in and of itself. “More dining, entertainment and shopping options are only fitting for an area that offers one of the densest downtown districts in all of Miami,” says Bittel. “It’s no surprise that retailers and restaurateurs are taking a close look at Coral Gables, especially with the completion of the streetscape project. Now everyone is clamoring for space on the Mile to be in the thick of it all.”

Inside the Mind of Stephen Bittel
/in Acquisitions, General, In the newsTHE CORAL GABLES MAGAZINE — August 2018 — BY JP FABER Fifteen years ago Stephen Bittel – Chairman and founder of South Florida commercial real estate powerhouse Terranova – decided to begin buying property on Miracle Mile. Today Terranova is the largest property owner on what Bittel calls Coral Gables’ “high street,” and a firm believer that families today want to live in walkable urban environments rather than in the suburbs. We recently caught up with Bittel and asked him for his insights about Coral Gables, where in recent years he has played a growing role as a civic booster.

Parkinson’s Foundation New Centers of Excellence
/in Bittel on BusinessJuly 25, 2018 – The Parkinson’s Foundation designated three new Centers of Excellence yesterday expanding their care network to 45 centers, worldwide. These exceptional centers currently treat 127,000 patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Twenty-three of the Centers are participating in the Parkinson’s Outcomes Project the largest clinical study of Parkinson’s. A center can only receive this sought after status by meeting the highest levels of care, research, education and outreach standards.
So far, our Terranova family has collectively given and raised over one million dollars for the Parkinson’s Foundation. We desperately wish it were more, and it will be as we keep donating and raising more each year. Bringing attention to this cruel disease gets more people focused on better treatment and engaging in the search for a cure. It’s just not enough, and not nearly too soon.
Many of you know that our Terranova President, Mindy McIlroy got that awful call with her PD diagnosis, just over 4 years ago. It’s a day I will never forget. Mindy fights through stiffness and fatigue every day with a remarkable sunny disposition and positive attitude. While others might have taken a step back in life, Mindy fights forward, not giving anything up in her professional life as she continues to take on more responsibility, and growing the richness of her personal life as well, continuing to travel, garden, and be a passionate advocate on the Parkinson’s Foundation board.
Continuing to give to help someone that has played such a material role in our lives, both personally and professionally, seems so meager compared to her fight. This battle is personal to every one of us who know and love her, and it is the selfishly personal reason we have taken this effort so seriously. For my birthday last week, I posted a Facebook fundraiser, generating almost seven thousand new dollars from 77 donors, some whom I have never met. The longer our PD experience goes, it seems that everyone has a friend or relative facing the same prognosis, including several relatives of our Terranova family.
When we made the commitment to fund the Centers of Excellence designations at three Cleveland Clinics: Dubai, Weston, and Las Vegas as well as the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and the Medical University of South Carolina, we sent the money in a single payment versus the more typical multiyear funding. We also committed to keep raising money with a goal of finding another million dollars to make an even bigger difference. So, you can help today by clicking on the link right here.
If you have a friend or family member that needs another opinion or a different level of care or information, call 1-800-4PD-INFO, because that is why we are in this fight, and don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Together we can and will improve treatment and find a cure, but only together. I have asked and cajoled and begged and thanked so many of you for all you have done to help, and I so wish I could tell you we have a cure and it was enough, but we are just not there yet. So once again, I am asking from the bottom of my heart for you love and help to join all of us at Terranova in making a difference.
