Dadeland Mall draws Spanish brand and six other new tenants
Eager to shop, South Dade residents? Dadeland Mall has seven new store and food options coming in 2023 to the gigantic shopping mecca.
The 71-acre Dadeland Mall at 7535 N. Kendall Drive inked leases with seven additional retailers and eateries, including Spain’s Bilbao clothing and accessory brand Bimba y Lola making its U.S. debut, said Dailen Rodriguez, the mall’s manager.
Some of the new stores — which include glasses vendor Eye Center Boutique, men’s clothing store Maceoo, French lingerie chain Etam, consumerelectronics and video-game store Razer, frozen-cocktails vendor Fat Tuesday and Chinese restaurant chain Pei Wei — could open this month.
This is the latest mall in Miami-Dade and Broward counties announcing a wave of newcomers. Others include Brickell City Centre and Sawgrass Mills. Mall owners and managers point to the region’s population growth for drawing international, national and local brand expansions.
The retailing trend here runs contrary to much of the rest of the country as online shopping and home delivery of goods have crushed malls.

Mall has seen residential developments built within walking distance over the past few years.
“There is much more density now with the Dadeland area,” said Ligia Labrada, founder of Unum Consulting, a commercial real estate consulting firm.
Open since 1962, Dadeland Mall celebrated its 60th anniversary last year. It opened with
400,000 square feet of retail space. Today, it covers roughly 1.5 million square feet. It’s home to the state’s largest Macy’s, JCPenney, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom.
