The neighborhood is also home to popular caf\u00e9s such as Almatcha, Aura Matcha, Maman, Pura Vida and Rosetta, as well as in-store outposts including the Dior Caf\u00e9 and Sadelle\u2019s at Kith.<\/p>\n<p>Sant Ambroeus\u2019 space at 4218 Northeast Second Avenue will be designed by architect and interior designer Fabrizio Casiraghi, who has worked on several of the brand\u2019s locations globally.<\/p>\n<p>The brand was founded 90 years ago in Milan and has expanded from Italy into high-end markets including New York, Aspen and Paris. .<\/p>\n<p>The lease comes shortly after Mirai secured an $85 million construction loan from Monroe Capital, and started construction on Kuma\u2019s first mixed-use project in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/therealdeal.com\/miami\/2023\/11\/28\/first-kengo-kuma-designed-project-in-us-planned-in-miami\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The development<\/a> will include a three-story building with 41,000 square feet of Class A office space and 16,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and hospitality space, as well as a 2,000-square-foot standalone structure designed as a sculptural centerpiece. Completion is expected in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Developers are bullish that continued migration by financial firms and creative companies to Miami will fuel demand for boutique office space in the Design District as an alternative to larger workspaces in Wynwood and the Brickell Financial District. Mirai\u2019s office portion is targeted toward family offices, small and midsize investment firms, and design-focused businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Cushman &amp; Wakefield is handling office leasing, while
