Sports & Social I Miami Worldcenter | Miami

Dining and entertainment venue Sports & Social will open at the $4 billion mixed-use Miami Worldcenter project.

Sports & Social will open a 20,000-square-foot location in the glass-encased “Jewel Box” retail building and include a third-story rooftop and restaurant overlooking the World Square park and plaza at the downtown Miami development, according to a Miami Worldcenter press release.

The venue, known for its sports watching activities and games, will be walking distance from the Miami Heat’s home stadium FTX Arena. The Miami location will include a 53-foot LED display showing multiple sports events at once as its centerpiece. It also will host live music and offer games such as foosball, pop-a-shot and shuffleboard, the release says.

Hospitality company Live! Hospitality & Entertainment, a division of the family founded and owned real estate development firm The Cordish Companies, created the Sports & Social concept. The venue has nine other locations across the U.S., including near Atlanta’s Truist Park baseball stadium, near St. Louis’ Busch Stadium, at the Texas Live! Center in the Arlington Entertainment District, and Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.

Sports & Social also plans to open a location at Dolphin Mall in Sweetwater this winter.

The 27-acre Miami Worldcenter project’s master developer is Miami Worldcenter Associates, led by Art Falcone and Nitin Motwani, in partnership with CIM Group.

Roughly 100,000 square feet of the retail space at Miami Worldcenter has been leased, including to chef Michael Beltran’s Brasserie Laurel and El Vecino, and Chicago’s Maple & Ash and etta restaurants. Beauty retailer Sephora, luxury electric car company Lucid Motors and entertainment complex Bowlero leased retail space last fall.
