RK Centers has acquired the Arena Shops retail plaza in North Miami for $32.5 million. The 2.5-acre property at 14750 Biscayne Boulevard, which includes tenants like Total Wine & More and Chipotle, changed hands in October 2026.
Why it matters
This transaction reflects shifts in local retail property values, as the site sold for $7.5 million more than its 2012 purchase price. For local shoppers, this high-profile sale underscores the continued interest in established commercial corridors along Biscayne Boulevard.
The 44,660-square-foot center sold for an average of $728 per square foot. This property sits in a broader Northeast Miami-Dade market where the average asking rent is $27.65 per square foot and the total vacancy rate is 3.8 percent.
