A 2-acre padel club is set to open at a planned $2 billion mixed-use development in Midtown Miami, which developers say will be the largest padel venue in the United States. Ultra Padel’s Ultra Club Midtown pop-up will feature 11 outdoor courts, three children’s courts, a food and beverage concept, and community programming. The opening is scheduled for December.
The Midtown Park project is being developed by Carlos Rosso’s Rosso Development and Alex Vadia’s Midtown Development on a nearly 5-acre site at 3055 North Miami Avenue. This location had previously been the subject of controversy over a proposed Walmart years ago. The first phase of the project includes the construction of Midtown Park Residences by Proper, a 28-story condominium tower with 288 units and 40,000 square feet of amenities. Proper Hospitality from Santa Monica is partnering on this development.
Ultra Club Midtown’s pop-up will operate on part of the site that will later become phase two of Midtown Park. After completion of that phase, Ultra Padel plans to open a permanent eight-court Racquet & Padel Club at the development. Guillermo Barragan leads Ultra Padel, which also operates facilities in Aventura and Little Haiti.
In Coconut Grove, an Italian restaurant called La Sponda will open at CMC Group’s Vita at Grove Isle luxury condominium. Gioia Hospitality Group from Miami will operate La Sponda in a 4,500-square-foot space above Vita at Grove Isle Club. The restaurant is expected to launch next year after condo construction finishes this year.
Gioia Hospitality Group is led by Thomas Angelo and runs other South Florida restaurants including Daniel’s Miami in Coral Gables and Daniel’s, A Florida Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale—both recognized by Michelin Guide. La Sponda will serve Mediterranean coastal cuisine with interiors designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio.
CMC is developing Vita at Grove Isle as a seven-story building with 65 condominiums offering three- or four-bedroom layouts as well as bi-level penthouses. Prices start around $8.4 million; remaining penthouses are priced from about $21.5 million. Grove Isle already has three condo towers built between 1979 and 1981.
Atlantic Village in Hallandale Beach has signed leases with three new tenants: Wagyu House (which will include a Meat N’ Bone butcher shop) leased 2,700 square feet; Murano by Ferraro leased 2,600 square feet; both expect to open in September according to developer Grupo Eco. Indoor virtual golf venue Tee Box plans to open its own facility there early next year.
These businesses are joining Atlantic Village’s third phase located at 601 North Federal Highway—a four-phase development featuring retail space and office buildings totaling more than 118,000 square feet across its first three phases on North Federal Highway between Northeast Sixth Street and Atlantic Shores Boulevard; its fourth phase features a new office condo building at 800 North Federal Highway developed with Apollo Companies.
By year-end, Atlantic Village will also host the Americas headquarters for FIBA (International Basketball Federation), which paid $3.9 million for three office condos spanning 6,400 square feet on the eleventh floor of the new building at 800 North Federal Highway. FIBA is relocating from its current offices in Coconut Grove after five years there.
