BridgePrep Academy, a charter school network operating 19 locations across Florida, has leased 56,000 square feet at California Club Shopping Center in Ives Estates, a Miami-Dade County community situated 15 miles north of Downtown Miami near Aventura.
The open-air shopping center totals 273,050 square feet and is owned by RK, according to Commercial Observer. This lease marks another expansion for BridgePrep Academy, which continues to grow its footprint throughout the state.
The California Club Shopping Center location represents the school network's strategy to establish facilities in retail properties across South Florida. Ives Estates sits in a suburban area of Miami-Dade County with proximity to Aventura, a major commercial and residential hub in the region.
The specific lease terms, rental rate, and lease duration were not disclosed in the available information. The timing of the school's opening at the shopping center location also remains unspecified.
Retail centers increasingly host educational tenants as school operators seek spaces that serve dual purposes for their communities. This lease demonstrates how traditional retail properties adapt to changing tenant demands and evolving community needs in the Miami-Dade area.
