Mimi Yoga Expands South Florida Footprint
NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (April 15, 2025)– Macken Companies is pleased to announce that Aura, the highly anticipated 533,835-square-foot mixed-use development spanning a city block at 17071 West Dixie Highway in North Miami Beach, has secured a new long-term lease with Mimi Yoga. The eight-story development features 373 luxury rental units and 17,000 square feet of prime ground floor commercial space plus 9,000 square feet of exterior covered retail terrace space. With this latest addition, Aura has reenforced its position as a premier destination for lifestyle-oriented businesses in South Florida. The project is slated for completion in Q2 2025.
Mimi Yoga, an infrared heated Yoga and Mat Pilates studio with existing locations in Wynwood and Coconut Grove, has secured approximately 2,650 square feet of space. Luchy Hermoso of Coldwell Banker represented Mimi Yoga, while Barrett Wolf of Wolf Co. represented the landlord.
“Aura continues to attract high-quality retailers and restaurants looking to expand their presence in South Florida,” said Alan Macken, CEO, Macken Companies. “The addition of Mimi Yoga reflects the strong demand for well-positioned commercial space in this growing market. We are excited to see Aura take shape as a vibrant hub that both residents and the surrounding community will enjoy.”
These new tenant will join The Missing Peace, an early childhood occupational therapy center, and Sunrisas Dental Miami, a dental practice, which will offer services that cater to the everyday needs of residents and visitors alike.
“Aura has been a passion project from the very beginning,” added Macken. “Growing up here, I always saw the area’s potential, and seeing our vision come to fruition is incredibly exciting. Being involved in shaping the city’s new master plan and now witnessing the positive changes take shape is truly rewarding. We’ve been very strategic in curating a dynamic mix of tenants—businesses that not only complement one another but also enhance the experience for both Aura’s residents and the surrounding community. This project is about more than just development; it’s about creating a vibrant, thriving destination that elevates the entire area.”
Aura’s leasing momentum underscores North Miami Beach’s growing appeal for businesses seeking prime locations with access to a thriving residential and commercial community. Macken Companies anticipates continued exciting leasing activity as the project approaches completion.
Developed in partnership by Dallas-based Trinsic Residential Group and South Florida-based Macken Companies, Aura will play a significant role in revitalizing the City’s Downtown area and its major corridors. Trinsic owns the residential portion of the project, and Macken Companies owns the full commercial component.
Designed by Coral Gables-based Corwil Architects, and taking cues from sustainable design, portions of the building are elevated above street level on a stilt-like framework, referencing the area’s maritime history and coastal environment. The project offers sweeping views of Greynolds Park to the Intracoastal Waterway, Sunny Isles Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The ground floor will feature a lush courtyard, and the retail has been designed to integrate the surrounding community and improve the walkable streetscape.
Situated at the gateway to North Miami Beach directly on the West Dixie Corridor at 16955-17071 West Dixie Highway, Aura is bordered by neighboring Aventura and nearby Sunny Isles. The project directly is north of the historic Ancient Spanish Monastery and Arthur Snyder Tennis Court Complex, and in close proximity to the county’s 265-acre Greynolds Park. Aura offers easy access to Biscayne Boulevard, I-95 and all major arteries.
