Mary Brickell Village — a progress report May 25, 2006 • The first two businesses have opened in the Mary Brickell Village complex, but shoppers will have to wait at least three months for the marketplace to boom. While customers begin to trickle into the P.F. Chang’s Chinese Bistro and the Region’s Bank branch — the first businesses to open at the long-awaited Mary Brickell Village — neighbors will have to wait at least until the end of the summer to visit the next wave of restaurants and shops. Starbucks, Enerjuicer juice bar and the La Romainville Bakery are poised to open within the next three months in the complex’s plaza east of South Miami Avenue. Construction on the west plaza should be done in July, said Marcus Freire, general manager of Mary Brickell Village, with businesses opening toward the end of 2006. But Freire said the wait will be worth it when Mary Brickell Village, on South Miami Avenue between Southeast Ninth and 10th Streets, fills out and becomes a complete one-stop shopping center. “The purpose here is to solve peoples’ day to day problems,” Freire said. Other tenants will fill in as construction finishes, including seafood and Cuban restaurants, a martini bar, a gourmet Publix, a hair salon and Bally’s Total Fitness. Miami-Dade residents might recognize several businesses from their other locations, like Downtown Liquors, which has a store in downtown Miami, the fashion boutique Blush and Coral Gables-based cooking school ARS Magirica. The shopping center was designed with plazas for open-air meandering. A 40,000-square-foot plaza sits on the east side of South Miami Avenue. On the other side of the street will be a 155,000-square-foot plaza. “We expect customers to come on foot and bicycle,” Freire said. Tori Jacobs, president of the Brickell Homeowners Association, said that Mary Brickell Village should enhance the social life of Brickell. The plaza will have a large influx of customers when SKYLINE at Mary Brickell Village is completed in 2008. The condo/apartment building, with its 369 units, will sit on top of a seven-story parking garage that already holds 900 cars and will add two new stories to accommodate the condo’s residents. Units sell from $400,000 to $1.2 million, and the building will rise to 35 stories, SKYLINE chairman and CEO Evangeline Gouletas said. Freire said the garage and the four valet parking stations around the plaza should solve parking problems. Source: www.MiamiHerald.com.
