WEST PALM BEACH, FL  -– Native Realty, the industry disrupting real estate brokerage, is increasingly demonstrating its placemaking prowess in Palm Beach County. For instance, Native CEO Jaime Sturgis, Sales Director Kaley Tuning and Associate Spencer Scalzitti just finalized a lease with popular wine bar The Blind Monk on behalf of the brand-new AKA Hotel in downtown West Palm Beach.

 

The Blind Monk bar is set to relocate
 from its current location to the
695 South Olive Avenue hotel in
Downtown West Palm Beach, FL

 It leased a ground-floor space with 2,209 interior square feet and a 1,197-square-foot outdoor patio. The Native trio is in active negotiations with prospective tenants for additional retail and restaurant spaces at the hotel.

 AKA Hotel is scheduled to open in November 2022.

Founded by former U.S. Marine Capt. Ben Lubin in 2010, The Blind Monk is a big hit with downtown West Palm Beach residents, professionals and visitors. 

Lubin is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute and a Certified Sommelier. The Blind Monk serves wine by the glass or bottle, craft beer, tapas, build-your-own cheese and charcuterie boards – and more.

“This lease is a great example of how Native activates the retail and restaurant components of hotel and multifamily developments,” Sturgis said.

 “The Blind Monk has a huge following and should enjoy tremendous success at the AKA Hotel. Our team is actively securing new leasing and investment sales assignments in West Palm Beach and throughout Palm Beach County to place the other top-tier tenants we are representing.”

The 8-story AKA Hotel consists of 215 hotel rooms, with on-site parking for the retail and restaurant spaces. It benefits from proximity to Rosemary Square, City Place and the Brightline high-speed rail station connecting Palm Beach County with Broward and Miami-Dade counties.

 Native recently relocated its corporate headquarters to a new Fort Lauderdale office that is double the size of its previous headquarters. The 4,000-square-foot office is located at 1926 E. Sunrise Blvd. in the city’s Victoria Park neighborhood.
