Major Food Group (MFG), led by the creative forces and Co-Founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi of some of America’s most celebrated restaurants, partnered with powerhouse developer and builder JDS Development Group, led by Chief Executive Michael Stern, to conceive, build, and operate MAJOR. : a new residential-hospitality tower located at 888 Brickell Avenue in Miami, Florida. 

MAJOR. marks a milestone in the evolution of Major Food Group, which currently operates a global portfolio of over thirty restaurants, hotels, and private clubs. MFG established roots in South Florida in 2021 with several smash successes: CARBONE and HaSalon in the South of Fifth neighborhood and the private membership venue ZZ’s Club in the Miami Design District. MFG will launch a range of additional projects in the region in the coming year, including several outposts of the brunch institution Sadelle’s, beginning with Coconut Grove, and Dirty French Steakhouse in Brickell.

​

Located at 888 Brickell Avenue, MAJOR. will feature 259 custom residences and offer the most impressive collection of food and beverage amenities of any building in Miami, if not the United States. MFG will oversee all branding and hospitality programming. Standalone restaurants and private clubs will be among the concepts.
