Michelle Gonzalez, licensed broker of record for Coral Gables-based Floridian First Realty, a family-owned boutique real estate firm specializing in commercial, luxury, and residential properties, recently brokered the new 10-year lease for a new MisterO1 Extraordinary Pizza in Pinecrest, Florida. It is expected to open in June 2024. The modern, conceptual and trendy pizzeria is situated in a newly renovated space in Pinecrest Shoppes, located along Miami-Dade’s busiest retail corridor at 11665 S. Dixie Highway, Pinecrest, Florida 33156. MisterO1 Pinecrest is corporate owned by co-founders and original owners Chef Renato Viola and President Umberto Mascagni. All Miami-Dade MisterO1 locations — Aventura, Pinecrest, Bay Harbor Islands, Brickell, Coconut Grove, South Beach and Wynwood — plus Downtown Doral, expected to open by September 2024, are owned by MisterO1 corporate. The other locations are franchise-owned.
Danny Pou from Horizon Properties represented lessor MMG Pinecrest Shoppes, LLC in the transaction. The 2,730-square-foot, newly renovated space (formerly a Mayweather Fit) required a full build-out. Pinecrest Shoppes was sold in 2018 and then redeveloped. Additional retail tenants in Pinecrest Shoppes include Old Bull Athletics, Scenthound, and Pinecrest Family Dentist.
Gonzalez, who founded Floridian First Realty with her husband Kevin Gonzalez in 2006, has also brokered leases for MisterO1’s locations in Miramar, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Aventura, Boca Raton and Downtown Doral, Florida. The company has 17 existing locations (this will be their 18th) in the U.S., including locations in Texas, as well as a location in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It also has additional upcoming franchisees opening locations soon throughout Florida and Texas.
“MisterO1 chose to establish a presence in Pinecrest in response to the significant demand expressed by customers who sought its specialty pizzas in the area,” said Michelle Gonzalez. “Pinecrest's family-oriented environment perfectly aligns with the brand's target consumer base and core values. The neighborhood boasts a vibrant community with numerous families, excellent schools, and a consistent demand for a diverse range of restaurants across all price points.
“The choice to establish a presence in Pinecrest reflects not only the brand's commitment to meeting customer preferences, but also the recognition of the area's potential as a thriving market for restaurant and retail establishments,” she continued.
