Schonfeld Strategic Advisors I The Dorsey in Wynwood

Hedge fund Schonfeld Strategic Advisors signed a long-term, 18,441-square-foot lease at The Dorsey project in Miami. New York-based Schonfeld is opening its second headquarters at the new Wynwood development.

A partnership among Related Group, Tricera Capital and Lndmrk Development is building the 12-story mixed-use Dorsey, roughly along Northwest Third Avenue between 28th and 29th streets. The project will have about 78,000 square feet of office space, 33,000 square feet of retail and 306 apartments.

The development team scored a $87.5 million construction loan in January.

Paul Mas and Randy Abend were part of the JLL team that represented Schonfeld in the deal. Eric Groffman and Cameron Tallon were part of the JLL team that represented The Dorsey.

Schonfeld Strategic initially will operate its Miami headquarters from Tricera’s Cube Wynwd under a one-year lease until The Dorsey space is finished.

Tricera and Lndmrk bought Cube Wynwd for $28 million in April.

Japanese restaurant Sushi Maki signed a 2,500-square-foot lease at 200 East Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale where it will open its first “polished fast-casual” sushi bar concept.

Sushi Maki, whose CEO is Abe Ng, will occupy the Class A space where Beehive Kitchen previously was located. The sushi restaurant plans to hire 25 full- and part-time employees from the area.
