Metro Jewelry Plaza, a well-known landmark in Downtown Miami, is set to open its doors this June under new ownership. The revitalized plaza will offer a fresh space for emerging jewelry designers, diamond dealers, bridal experts, and luxury watch companies. The transformation is led by Elysee Investments, a New York and Florida-based real estate firm owned by Avi Dishi and Haim Yehezkel.
The Plaza, located at 1 N.E. 1st Street, will become a key destination for cutting-edge jewelry and watch designs. Spanning over 225,000 square feet, it will provide space for innovative talent looking to make their mark in the luxury market. The Plaza aims to offer a mix of retail space and showrooms, making it a prime location for those in the jewelry and watch industries.

Our goal is to create a creative hub where designers can grow and introduce modern designs to a global audience.”
