Leading real estate developer Related Group (Related), alongside partners Torose Equities and LNDMRK, announced that national furnishings brand West Elm has signed a lease for over 12,000 square feet at The Dorsey Wynwood.
“As one of our region’s most vibrant communities, Wynwood continues to attract businesses and residents seeking a walkable neighborhood rich in creativity and culture,” said Jon Paul Pérez, CEO of Related. “The Related team helped ignite Wynwood’s transition into a well-rounded neighborhood and we continue to work with our partners to bring its full potential to life. By establishing a presence at The Dorsey, West Elm deepens its connection to Miami’s cultural fabric while contributing to Wynwood’s continued transformation.”
The Dorsey Wynwood is a 12-story mixed-use development featuring 78,000 square feet of flexible office space, 33,000 square feet of retail, and 306 luxury residences with floor plans ranging from 450 to 1,600 square feet. The property features a highly curated suite of on-site amenities, including a cutting-edge fitness center with a spin and yoga room, a first-class pet spa, a resort-style rooftop pool and a sprawling outdoor courtyard as well as a collection of world-class art from the renowned Pérez Collection, displayed throughout the property for the enjoyment of residents and their guests.
Spanning six combined storefronts, West Elm’s over 12,000-square-foot space will occupy a prominent corner at NW 28th Street and NW 3rd Avenue. The expansive layout offers the brand a seamless retail environment in one of Wynwood’s most highly trafficked areas, positioning it at the heart of the neighborhood’s ongoing evolution.
With eight locations across Florida, West Elm’s move to Wynwood from Midtown underscores its commitment to shaping communities through inspired design and purpose-driven retail. The brand brings a curated selection of modern, high-quality pieces that align with Wynwood’s eclectic and creative identity. This relocation offers the community a distinctive shopping experience and sustainable design solutions.
“Having invested in Wynwood for the last 15 years, it’s been remarkable to witness the neighborhood mature from a burgeoning arts district into one of Miami’s most dynamic and desirable destinations,” said Scott Sherman, Founder and Principal of Torose Equities. “West Elm’s arrival is an indication of how far Wynwood has come, and the caliber of tenants it will continue to attract. This lease reflects the confidence that national brands have in the neighborhood’s long-term development. We’re proud to play a role in shaping its growth.”
The deal continues a period of exponential growth for Wynwood. Spurred in part by the migration of major tech and financial institutions, Wynwood has transformed from a purely entertainment and nightlife district to a true work-live-play community. The arrival of blue chip companies like Amazon, Spotify, Live Nation, PwC, Founders Fund and Atomic in recent years has brought thousands of new employees to the area, leading to massive growth in residential and commercial development. The Wynwood Business Improvement District (BID) reports that since 2020, 1,482 residential units have been completed in the neighborhood, with an additional 1,737 units under development. The district has seen impressive leasing activity, with leasing in 2024 outpacing the previous year — more than half occurring in the first two quarters.
