Berkowitz, led by Jeff Berkowitz, was long-time client of Miami-based TotalBank, which was acquired by City National Bank in June for $529 million, according to a release. Berkowitz Development Group said the new facility plans to be completed in the first quarter of 2019, with a projected store opening by the second quarter of 2019.

Kendall Village was developed by Berkowitz in 2000 and renovated in 2005. The firm also built Dadeland Station in Miami and the Fifth and Alton shopping center in Miami Beach. — Keith Larsen
