New yoga and Pilates fitness studios, along with several food spots to fuel those workouts, are coming to Kendall\u2019s evolving Palms at Town & Country shopping center.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Palms at Town & Country continues to grow, we\u2019re focused on introducing brands that complement the existing mix,\u201d said Katie Wycoff, director of real estate at Kimco Realty Corp., citing the leasing momenturm.<\/p>\n

The newbies at the neighborhood strip center come at a bustling time. Been through its parking lot maze lately? Get back to us once you make it back out.<\/p>\n

Last October, a 3,684-square-foot Starbucks opened where a Burger King once stood just off the Kendall Drive-side of the mall at 8268 Mills Dr. At the same time, a new Barnes & Noble bookstore<\/a> opened in the mall, a replacement for a larger, older store that was closed a mile away at Kendall Village.<\/p>\n

In January, Publix closed<\/a> its 40-year-old Palms store and by mid-April it was demolished to make way for a bigger, contemporary supermarket. Construction work on the foundation for that new store has begun.<\/p>\n

A month later Miniso<\/a>, a China-based retailer selling Japanese-themed low\u2011priced household goods, toys, cosmetics, stationery and Marvel, Disney and Harry Potter-themed collectibles, opened its fourth Miami-Dade store in a 7,000 square-foot space next to Ann Taylor Factory.<\/p>\n

In March, Palms announced a new Tesla showroom<\/a> and service center is opening on its property across the street on Southwest 117th Avenue later this year on the site of a long-gone Toys R Us.<\/p>\n

Property owner Kimco began discussing a redevelopment<\/a> of the portion of the complex that houses a Kohl\u2019s by building a pair of 12-story apartment buildings on the site at 11800 Mills Dr. in 2023. There was talk about relocating the Kohl\u2019s to a smaller space north on the sprawling grounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe referenced plans regarding the redevelopment of Kohl\u2019s are from an earlier exploratory pre-application meeting and don\u2019t represent submitted plans, approvals, or a decision to move forward,\u201d Josh Gelfman, vice president of real estate development for Kimco Realty, said on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince that meeting, we have not filed a formal application, pulled permits, or taken any steps to advance a project at this site. Kohl\u2019s is open and operating,\u201d Gelfman said.<\/p>\n
