Deli Lane Café & Sunset Tavern, a South Miami icon since 1988, is getting ready for a big change. Their property at 7230 SW 59th Ave has been sold to a local developer with ambitious plans to turn the space into a modern mixed-use complex, featuring both residential units and retail spaces. This shift is part of a wave of development across South Miami, as the area evolves into a lively, mixed-use community with a lot to offer both residents and visitors.
For Deli Lane regulars, the good news is that the café isn’t going far. Owners Jahn Kirchoff and Mike Maler are moving just a few blocks away, setting up in a new location with an expanded indoor area and even more outdoor seating. They’re keeping all the classics on the menu, adding some new touches, and keeping that same inviting vibe that locals love. The new spot is set to open in early 2025, and until then, Deli Lane will keep serving up comfort food and cocktails at the current location.
The Deli Lane property is only one piece of the broader transformation unfolding across South Miami. The site of the former Winn-Dixie is now being turned into a high-rise apartment building, offering new housing options right in the heart of the city, with quick access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Nearby, the Shoppes of Sunset Mall has also been acquired by developers, with exciting plans to update the retail center, bringing in fresh stores, restaurants, and entertainment options.
Meanwhile, SW 80th Street has been undergoing its own major facelift. The once-traditional street now features sleek, modern architecture as stylish new buildings and homes sprout up along the corridor.
Southwest 80th Street is undergoing a remarkable transformation that’s redefining South Miami’s landscape, merging sleek, modern aesthetics with the city’s distinctive charm. This blend of contemporary architecture creates a stunning display of artistry along one of South Miami’s most iconic streets, showcasing the area’s evolution while honoring its unique character. The new designs make SW 80th Street a standout destination, capturing the eye and adding a fresh, sophisticated touch to the neighborhood’s appeal.
