A sun protection apparel manufacturer just moved its corporate office to Miami’s Wynwood Arts District from downtown Minneapolis.

The firm, Coolibar, announced on July 2 that they now occupies the whole third floor of the Wynwood Annex Building at 215 N.W. 24th St.

About 45 people work in the 8,200-square-foot office, said Robert Burns, Coolibar’s public relations and events manager. The office serves as a base for Coolibar’s e-commerce, finance, marketing, HR, sales, customer support and product design teams, he added.

After more than 20 years in Minneapolis, Coolibar moved to Miami because “being in the Sunshine State allows us to design and, more importantly, test [our] products year round,” said Chief Brand Officer Sebastien Ozanne.

Hidrock And Robert Finvarb Use Live Local Act To Propose 39-Story Rental In Wynwood

live local act 1170x435

Another set of developers are shooting their shot to build tall in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood, using the Live Local Act, a Florida law that grants developers density hikes in return for designating a portion of apartments as workforce housing.

Hidrock Properties and Robert Finvarb Companies together filed plans to build a 39-story building with 336 rental units at 2534 North Miami Avenue, between Northeast 25th and 26th streets. In 2021, New York-based Hidrock Properties purchased the half-acre site for $13 million, according to property records.

In accordance with state law that was passed in 2023, 40 percent of residences will be affordable for people earning no more than 120 percent of the area’s median income. Developers can build up to the height of any building within a one-mile radius if the affordability requirement is met.

According to the proposal, the Arquitectonica-designed project is 21 stories shorter than the maximum height. The 436,934-square-foot development would also house 7,781 square feet of commercial space and 326 parking spots.

The Wynwood Design Review Committee will hear the application July 16. The lawyer representing the joint venture, Brian A. Dombrowski of Greenberg Traurig, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
