“Wynwood is the second most expensive office market in Miami after Brickell, according to last year’s report from CRE Daily. Real estate prices are set by the real demand for mixed use and the neighborhood’s ability to serve as a true daily center and not just a weekend destination,” ALP.X Group founder Sebastian Lüdke – who works with Goldman Global Arts – told Fox News Digital. “This transaction is just the latest example of the opportunity Wynwood offers to investors in the greater Miami market.”

Citadel also began construction on its new 1.2 million-square-foot global headquarters tower in Miami’s financial district at Brickell but currently has a short-term lease at 830 Brickell Plaza, according to the company’s website.

Griffin moved his hedge fund from Chicago to Miami in 2022, and he recently opened up about what led to that decision during an appearance at the America Business Forum in November.
