JPMorgan Chase Bank Coming To Coconut Grove

JPMorgan Chase Bank will open a branch in Coconut Grove’s trendy CocoWalk retail, dining and entertaining complex.

The banking giant signed a 10-year lease for 3,117 square feet in CocoWalk, at 3015 Grand Avenue, according to the property owner.

It should open in January. It will occupy GAP’s former first floor space.

According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., only six banks were in the zip code 33133 as of June 30, 2013. This would be Chase Bank’s first location there.

Chase Bank ranked fourth in South Florida deposits with $12.4 billion for a 7.1 percent market share. It had 175 branches here in 2013.

Board Reviews Controversial Plan For Coconut Grove Waterfront

,

A plan to remake the Coconut Grove waterfront is up for review by Miami’s Historic Preservation Board.

The plan includes the demolition of Scotty’s Landing and the Chart House, and the addition of new boat storage space, restaurants, retail, and a promenade along the water.

Miami voters approved the project last year, although activists claim that the majority of voters in Coconut Grove precincts voted against the proposal. Several lawsuits that could halt the project remain pending.

Arquitectonica is handling architecture and landscape design.
