Gridline Properties is pleased to present a rare opportunity to acquire a fully renovated, boutique retail / mixed-use asset located in the heart of Buena Vista, just steps from the Miami Design District, one of the strongest and most dynamic retail submarkets in the country. The property consists of a two-story building, oering a compelling blend of stabilized income and near-term upside. The ground floor retail space is fully leased on a long-term basis to Jeune Aesthetics, a well-established aesthetics and wellness spa, providing immediate and predictable cash flow. The second-floor space is currently vacant, presenting flexibility for a wide range of residential or commercial uses and allowing a buyer to unlock additional value through lease-up or repositioning. Recently renovated, the building oers a turnkey, boutique profile that is increasingly scarce in the immediate Design District adjacency. Its premier location provides seamless connectivity to the Miami Design District, Miami Beach, and the Biscayne Boulevard corridor, positioning the asset at the crossroads of luxury retail, dense residential neighborhoods, and Miami’s urban core. Zoned T4-L, the property benefits from favorable zoning that supports mixed-use density and optionality, further enhancing its appeal to investors seeking both current income and future upside.
