Balloo, the James Beard nominee who spent nearly a
decade at the popular Sugarcane restaurant in Miami’s Design District,
is leasing 1,568 square feet at the former home of Foxy Brown in the
city’s Victoria Park neighborhood.

Sturgis exclusively represented Balloo in his search for Fort Lauderdale restaurant space, which is becoming increasingly scarce amid intense demand, and in lease negotiations.
In December 2021, Balloo plans to open The Katherine, featuring the chef’s beloved seafood dishes that
blend his Chinese, Indian and Trinidadian heritage.
The 46-seat restaurant at 723 E. Broward Blvd. is
just steps away from Flagler Village and two blocks from Las Olas Boulevard.

Foxy Brown relocated from
its longtime home to North Federal Highway earlier this year.
The Katherine builds
on the momentum created by Balloo’s food truck – Mrs. Balloo – at the
Wharf Fort Lauderdale. Mrs. Balloo serves Asian street food favorites including
dim sum and bao buns.
“It is exciting to
help star chef Timon Balloo realize the dream of opening The Katherine,”
Sturgis said.
“Second-generation restaurant space is nearly
impossible to find in Fort Lauderdale, as top-tier local and out-of-state
restaurateurs covet new locations here.
"We leveraged our on-the-ground knowledge and
relationships to identify the perfect home for Timon’s new concept.”
