FORT LAUDERDALE, FL –– Native Realty, the pioneering Fort Lauderdale-based real estate firm led by Founder and CEO Jaime Sturgis, finalized a lease for popular restaurant Mitch’s Westside Bagels to open a new location at Flagler Village development Motif.

Sturgis and the firm’s John Brewer arranged the transaction.

Mitch Shidolfsky
 A longtime staple for deli enthusiasts in Weston, Mitch’s is set to open a 2,000-square-foot restaurant on the ground floor of Motif.

ArchCo Residential and Bluerock Real Estate Holdings are building Motif at 500 N. Andrews Ave. 

The site of the 385-apartment project with nearly 25,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space spans a full block from North Andrews Avenue to Northeast First Avenue and from Northeast Sixth to Fifth streets.

Native is exclusively marketing the retail and restaurant space at Motif. Financial terms of the Mitch’s lease were not disclosed.

John Brewer
 A traditional New York-style deli owned by Mitch Shidolfsky, Mitch’s is known for its fresh bagels made on site, homemade salads, smoked fish shipped from Brooklyn and more.

“Mitch’s is sure to have a big following among residents of Motif and others who live, work and spend time in Flagler Village,” Sturgis said. “We are excited to secure this lease with the restaurant and look forward to announcing additional tenants at Motif soon.”

The North Phase of Motif is scheduled to be completed in January 2020, with the South Phase to follow in April 2020. 

Motif’s design includes a paseo that will connect North Andrews Avenue to Northeast First Avenue and double as an entertainment venue, with market stalls, outdoor restaurant seating, a 7,396-square-foot public plaza and courtyard.

Jaime Sturgis
Motif is an example of how prominent developers and investors who historically would have hired large national real estate brokerages to market their commercial projects are increasingly turning to Native in the Flagler Village area.

The latest transaction keeps the momentum going from a historic year for Native and Sturgis. 

The year began with the January 2019 milestone sales of The Hive and Flagler Uptown in Flagler Village, which set neighborhood records on both a price per building square foot and land square foot basis and was the culmination of Sturgis’ multi-year efforts successfully curating the properties with a vibrant mix of tenants.



On Oct. 30 in Miami, Sturgis was honored by Urban Land Institute (ULI) Southeast Florida/Caribbean as the 2019 Young Leader of the Year. Sturgis earned the prestigious award for his holistic approach to placemaking in Flagler Village and the other urban core neighborhoods he lives, works and plays in.

Native Realty is headquartered at 719 NE Second Ave. in Flagler Village.
