CBRE Group, Inc., arranged the lease for Bousa Brewing Company’s first location at 7235 NE 4th Ave, Miami, Florida. The newest craft brewery in South Florida will occupy a 12,000-square-foot property in the up-and-coming Little River District, becoming the first and only independent brewery in this area. CBRE’s Andrew Lehrer, Devin White, and David Albert arranged the transaction for Bousa Brewing Company co-owners Juan Pablo Vergara and Enrique Garcia.
“Our clients Juan Pablo and Enrique are two young, ambitious entrepreneurs new to the market, and our goal was to find the perfect location that was functional for a commercial brewery, had room for expansion, and was a prime location for a tasting room that would be fun and inviting to the public,” said Devin White, senior vice president at CBRE. “Only a few minutes away from Wynwood, Midtown and South Beach, the Little River District is the ideal location for Bousa to add a unique twist to the booming craft brewery market in Miami.”
Continuing the trend of repurposing industrial buildings in Miami, Bousa Brewery will operate in a recently renovated and rehabbed multi-tenant warehouse, with an initial capacity to make 4,000 barrels of beer annually. In partnership with Eagle Brands, Bousa sells draft beer in more than fifty bars and restaurants in Miami-Dade and expects to open the tap-room by May 2017.
“Addressing our current needs and considering our future plans, the CBRE team understood our vision for the company and was able to find the ideal first location for us,” said Enrique Garcia, co-owner of Bousa Brewing Company. “Little River is becoming an Innovation district, and we are excited to be on the border of two other dynamic neighborhoods, Little Haiti and MiMo District. We are bullish on the growth of this community and look forward to collaborating with local businesses to grow the craft beer footprint in Miami.”
