About the project

MIRAI Design District is the first mixed-use development in the United States from internationally acclaimed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and Associates, rising at 4218 NE 2nd Avenue in Miami's Design District. The project introduces approximately 41,000 square feet of Class A boutique office space — positioned for family offices, small and mid-sized funds, and design-led businesses — alongside 16,000 square feet of luxury high-street retail and hospitality space, all conceived as a "floating lantern" with a transparent ground floor, layered façade screening system, lush central garden, and hospitality-driven public spaces. Landscape architecture is led by Island Planning Corporation under Nathan Browning, with celebrated Italian lighting firm Viabizzuno designing a dynamic façade lighting program. Developed by a consortium of Leviathan Development (led by founder Allison Greenfield), Lionheart Capital (led by founder and CEO Ophir Sternberg), Well Duo, and The Lane Organization, with WD Capital Group advising on the capitalization. Ground broke in June 2026 following the closing of an $85 million construction loan from Monroe Capital LLC; completion is anticipated in 2028.
