FORT LAUDERDALE, FL , Nov. 22, 2021 – Native Realty Founder and CEO Jaime Sturgis finalized a lease for renowned chef Timon Balloo’s first brick-and-mortar restaurant location in Fort Lauderdale.

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.”

 Levy Realty represented landlord Chapman Properties LLC in the transaction.
