Wynwood Haus announces first retail tenant – Raccoon Coffee

Wynwood Haus, a newly opened mixed-used, multifamily development designed to encourage living, working, wellness, and community in one central locale, has announced the signing of its first retail tenant, Raccoon Coffee.

A coveted brand among Miami coffee enthusiasts, the dining establishment will connect directly to the building’s lobby in a welcoming space that brings the people together with a versatile menu of fresh brews and delectable bites.

Developed by Black Salmon, along with LD&D (which collaborated with IGEQ), and Bridge Investment Group, Wynwood Haus features 224 luxury apartment homes and nearly 5,500 square feet of ground-floor retail.

Raccoon Coffee will encompass approximately 1,790 square feet and is slated to begin welcoming patrons by the year’s end. But visitors don’t need to wait until opening to delight in the shop’s offering. Throughout construction of its interior space, Raccoon Coffee will operate a full-service food truck parked directly outside its future location, welcoming residents and visitors to experience what awaits.

Raccoon Coffee seeks to offer much more than specialty coffee, but an unforgettable experience by joining it with its quality, distinct blend of premium beverages, gourmet pastries, and inviting atmosphere. Established in 2019, the inaugural site debuted in the heart of Brickell, and the brand has continued to grow with another establishment in Edgewater. Its expansion to Wynwood Haus marks a significant milestone, being the first outpost in proximity to the lively Wynwood neighborhood.

“Our vision for Wynwood Haus has been centered around creating a vibrant hub that caters to our residents and fosters meaningful connections. Welcoming Raccoon Coffee to our property is a strategic move that perfectly aligns with this mission,” said Camilo Lopez, managing partner and co-CEO of Black Salmon. “This will curate an exceptional culinary and social experience right at our residents’ doorstep, ensuring that Wynwood Haus truly becomes the heart and soul of our dynamic community.”

Located in a sheltered enclave at 23 NE 17 Terr., Wynwood Haus was created to satisfy the demand of today’s progressive renters, from young professionals to entrepreneurs and starter families, as a place for those who are drawn to innovation and aspire to enhance their quality of life.

Presenting studios, one- and two-bedroom floor plans, ranging from 394 to 945 square feet, residences rival those of other luxury high-rises and are adorned with intricate wood paneling, concrete accents, and luxe lighting throughout to elevate the modern aesthetic.

Wynwood Haus sets a superior standard of urban sophistication with sweeping views, contemporary design, and ample green space, complemented by wellness-centric offerings.

Designed by acclaimed architecture firm Corwil Architects and with interiors by LD&D’s design division, the building presents a community-focused vibe. Spaces are built to connect with others, with thoughtful programming to satisfy every passion and pursuit.

The property’s impressive rooftop amenity and pool deck offers incomparable city and bay vistas, while amenities include a clubroom, fitness center with steam and sauna, yoga room, outdoor barbecue area, and private and coworking spaces, offering a fusion of activity, relaxation, and work-from-home ease.

With leasing and property management by Bozzuto, Wynwood Haus has experienced unprecedented success since opening in January, having achieved over 30 percent in leasing.

As a true live-work-play apartment destination, Wynwood Haus’ location affords walkability to the conveniences of everyday life. Steps away are new offices, tech-centric businesses, and expanding retail, dining, and bustling art scenes. It also is just minutes from major thoroughfares and the Design District, Midtown Miami, and Downtown. To further enhance connectivity throughout the city, the project is a designated transit-oriented development (TOD) within walking distance of the School Board Metromover station.

Sylvester researchers and collaborators call for greater investment in bereavement care

Sylvester researchers and collaborators call for greater investment in bereavement care

1 of 2

The public health toll from bereavement is well-documented in the medical literature, with bereaved persons at greater risk for many adverse outcomes, including mental health challenges, decreased quality of life, healthcare neglect, cancer, heart disease, suicide, and death.

Now, in a paper published in The Lancet Public Health, researchers sound a clarion call for greater investment, at both the community and institutional level, in establishing support for grief-related suffering.

The authors emphasized that increased mortality worldwide caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, suicide, drug overdose, homicide, armed conflict, and terrorism have accelerated the urgency for national- and global-level frameworks to strengthen the provision of sustainable and accessible bereavement care.

Unfortunately, current national and global investment in bereavement support services is woefully inadequate to address this growing public health crisis, said researchers with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and collaborating organizations.

They proposed a model for transitional care that involves firmly establishing bereavement support services within healthcare organizations to ensure continuity of family-centered care while bolstering community-based support through development of “compassionate communities” and a grief-informed workforce. The model highlights the responsibility of the health system to build bridges to the community that can help grievers feel held as they transition.

The Center for the Advancement of Bereavement Care at Sylvester is advocating for precisely this model of transitional care. Wendy G. Lichtenthal, PhD, FT, FAPOS, who is Founding Director of the new Center and associate professor of public health sciences at the Miller School, noted, “We need a paradigm shift in how healthcare professionals, institutions, and systems view bereavement care. Sylvester is leading the way by investing in the establishment of this Center, which is the first to focus on bringing the transitional bereavement care model to life.”

What further distinguishes the center is its roots in bereavement science, advancing care approaches that are both grounded in research and community engaged.

The authors focused on palliative care, which strives to provide a holistic approach to minimize suffering for seriously ill patients and their families, as one area where improvements are critically needed. They referenced groundbreaking reports of the Lancet Commissions on the value of global access to palliative care and pain relief that highlighted the “undeniable need for improved bereavement care delivery infrastructure.” One of those reports acknowledged that bereavement has been overlooked and called for reprioritizing social determinants of death, dying, and grief.

“Palliative care should culminate with bereavement care, both in theory and in practice,” explained Lichtenthal, who is the article’s corresponding author. “Yet, bereavement care often is under-resourced and beset with access inequities.”
Transitional bereavement care model

So, how do health systems and communities prioritize bereavement services to ensure that no bereaved individual goes without needed support? The transitional bereavement care model offers a roadmap.

“We must reposition bereavement care from an afterthought to a public health priority.

Transitional bereavement care is necessary to bridge the gap in offerings between healthcare organizations and community-based bereavement services,” Lichtenthal said.

“Our model calls for health systems to shore up the quality and availability of their offerings, but also recognizes that resources for bereavement care within a given healthcare institution are finite, emphasizing the need to help build communities’ capacity to support grievers.”

Key to the model, she added, is the bolstering of community-based support through development of “compassionate communities” and “upskilling” of professional services to assist those with more substantial bereavement-support needs.

The model contains these pillars:
Preventive bereavement care – Healthcare teams engage in bereavement-conscious practices, and compassionate communities are mindful of the emotional and practical needs of dying patients’ families.

Ownership of bereavement care – Institutions provide bereavement education for staff, risk screenings for families, outreach and counseling or grief support. Communities establish bereavement centers and “champions” to provide bereavement care at workplaces, schools, places of worship or care facilities.

Resource allocation for bereavement care – Dedicated personnel offer universal outreach, and bereaved stakeholders provide input to identify community barriers and needed resources.

Upskilling of support providers – Bereavement education is integrated into training programs for health professionals, and institutions offer dedicated grief specialists.

Communities have trained, accessible bereavement specialists who provide support and are educated in how to best support bereaved individuals, increasing their grief literacy.
Evidence-based care – Bereavement care is evidence-based and features effective grief assessments, interventions, and training programs. Compassionate communities remain mindful of bereavement care needs.

Lichtenthal said the new center will strive to materialize these pillars and aims to serve as a global model for other health organizations. She hopes the paper’s recommendations “will cultivate a bereavement-conscious and grief-informed workforce as well as grief-literate, compassionate communities and health systems that prioritize bereavement as a vital part of ethical healthcare.”

“This paper is calling for healthcare institutions to respond to their duty to care for the family beyond patients’ deaths. By investing in the creation of the Center for the Advancement of Bereavement Care, Sylvester is answering this call,” Lichtenthal said.

Summer Youth Internship Program connects students with businesses

April 6, 2024

The Summer Youth Internship Program (SYIP), which gives high school students job experience over the summer by connecting them with hundreds of employers, had its kickoff event recently. The focus was on welcoming new, potential, internship partners as well as signing up Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) students for the summer.

SYIP gives students five weeks of paid workforce experience in myriad fields from July through August.

“The Summer Youth Internship program is a unique and valuable opportunity for our students to gain workforce experience in a number of fields and for employers to take advantage of an army of enthusiastic, smart, and motivated workers who may in the future decide to turn that experience into a career,” said M-DCPS superintendent Dr. Jose L. Dotres.

M-DCPS is partnering with The Children’s Trust, Miami-Dade County, Career Source South Florida, EdFed – The Educational Federal Credit Union, and the Foundation for New Education Initiatives to offer these internships, which are available for 10th to 12th grade students who complete the application process by May 24. All new and former employers must register at miamiinterns.org and can hire up to 10 interns during the program.

“Miami-Dade County is proud to be part of the Summer Youth Internship Program that not only provides our students with income and opportunities for their summer, but also prepares them for the jobs of the new economy and makes them future-ready,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Our local government has an exceptional role to play in the success of our students through programs just like this one, and we are grateful to welcome many of them as our interns every year.”

The student interns will work 30 hours each week, five days a week, and will be paid by SYIP, not employers, and will carry accident insurance. Students must be eligible to work in the U.S., be enrolled in a Miami-Dade County public school and must register and complete a pre-internship course.

Last year 3,060 students from 58 schools participated in internships with 702 employers.

M-DCPS and its partners invested $6 million in the program. All students enrolled in the SYIP receive high school credit and may be eligible to receive college credit through dual enrollment with Miami-Dade College.

“As a proud founding funder of SYIP and a collaborative partner for many years, we are especially proud of how far this program has come. The Children’s Trust also hosts several SYIP interns every year, and they add vibrancy and fresh perspectives each time. We highly encourage other organizations to do the same,” said James R. Haj, president and CEO of The Children’s Trust.

Students have been placed in Miami-Dade County offices, veterinary offices, restaurants, engineering firms, daycare centers, law offices, and many other fascinating places. Giving students the opportunity to explore future careers while getting paid and earning high school credit is another example of why M-DCPS is your best choice.

“Employers get an opportunity to expose young people to their industry and create interest in pursuing a potential career in it,” said Ann Stith, executive director of the Foundation for New Education Initiatives. “At no cost to them, they get to mentor these students and they get bright, highly motivated individuals to perform whatever tasks they need to help them with their businesses or practices.”

For additional information on SYIP, call 305-693-3005 or visit miamiinterns.org.

MIAMI MARLINS AND CERVECERÍA LA TROPICAL TEAM UP TO HONOR AND CELEBRATE CUBAN HERITAGE AT LOANDEPOT PARK

April 5, 2024

The Miami Marlins and Cervecería La Tropical are teaming up to honor and celebrate Cuban heritage at the ballpark through a series of exciting events and activations. As Cuba’s oldest brewery, La Tropical has a deeply rich history – one that is directly tied to Cuban baseball and now Miami. Originally founded in 1888 in Havana, Cuba on a site that featured a baseball stadium with infield sand made of crushed Tropi Crystal bottles, baseball runs deep in both La Tropical history and Cuban culture, where baseball is the national sport.

As the brand’s first-ever brewery outside of Cuba, the Wynwood site features a state-of-the-art brewing operation, taproom, restaurant, botanical garden, and entertainment stage. And now, La Tropical’s Tropi Crystal brand is the Official Imported from Miami Cerveza of the Marlins and loanDepot park, once again cementing its association to baseball, but now in Miami. Tropi Crystal Pilsner, along with La Tropical’s full lineup of beers, is available at the Tropi Crystal branded bar outside of Section 7 on the Promenade Level and other locations throughout loanDepot park.

“With an incredible history connected to the game of baseball and the Cuban community, Tropi Crystal is the perfect partner to continue our efforts of providing a great fan experience and infusing the community into the ballpark experience,” said Rob Gelman, Marlins Vice President and Head of Partnership Development and Strategy. “We look forward to bringing many exciting initiatives to loanDepot park in partnership with Tropi Crystal.”

“Originally built in 1930, el Gran Stadium Cerveza Tropical was the cradle of Cuban baseball, hosting both national and MLB teams, as well as the World Baseball Cup series,” said Manny Portuondo, Cervecería La Tropical CEO. “Our association with béisbol spans almost a century, and we are very proud that the tradition lives on now in Miami with the Marlins.”

Tropi Crystal will also serve as the presenting sponsor of Cuban Heritage Celebration when the Marlins host the New York Mets on Saturday, May 18, at 4:10 p.m. With the purchase of a Cuban Heritage ticket package, fans will receive an exclusive and stylish Cuban Heritage Marlins jersey. A portion of each ticket purchased will be donated to local Cuban non-profit organizations. As part of the celebration, fans will be able to pair La Tropical beers, featuring Tropi Crystal, with exciting activations from Cervecería La Tropical. To join the celebration, head to Marlins.com/Cuban.

There is no better way to consume a La Tropical beer than by coupling it with a smash burger and Marlins Béisbol. With Burger and Beer Fridays presented by Tropi Crystal, fans can purchase ticket packages to every Friday Marlins home game and receive a game ticket, smash burger, and delicious craft beer from Cervecería La Tropical. Head to Marlins.com/Offers to get in on this All-Star deal.

More exciting collaborations between the Marlins and La Tropical are in the works and will be announced ahead of Cuban Heritage Celebration on May 18, including a watch party for a Marlins road game and much more!

District 5 School Board Member Danny Espino hosted his second annual Silver Knight Recognition Ceremony at the Doral Yard. This special event honored exceptional students nominated for the prestigious Silver Knight Award, recognizing their remarkable achievements and contributions to their communities.

The ceremony, held in collaboration with City of Doral Mayor Christi Fraga and City of Miami Springs Mayor Maria Mitchell, brought together students, parents, educators, and community leaders to applaud and celebrate the dedication and talent of these outstanding scholars.

Students from District 5 schools were presented with certificates of recognition, acknowledging their remarkable accomplishments and commitment to excellence. In addition to the certificates, students were also awarded prizes generously donated by local establishments, including restaurants in the Doral Yard, VME Kids, and CMX Cinebistro.

“This event is a testament to the incredible talent and dedication of our students in District 5,” said School Board Member Danny Espino. “It’s truly inspiring to see the passion and commitment these young individuals bring to their pursuits, and I have no doubt that they will continue to achieve great things in the future.”

Attendees of the ceremony also had the chance to enjoy refreshments and food generously donated by restaurants in the Doral Yard.
