Gateway of Wynwood Welcomes OpenStore, a Platform Launched to Offer Instant Liquidity to eCommerce Entrepreneurs 

 

As tech companies continue to rapidly expand and enter the Miami market, OpenStore has moved into its new office space in Wynwood. Founded by Keith Rabois of Founders Fund; Jack Abraham of Atomic; and Michael Rubenstein, the former president of AppNexus, OpenStore is a platform that allows entrepreneurs with Shopify businesses to sell their companies and receive liquidity for what they’ve built. The tech company occupies 14,914 square feet at the Gateway of Wynwood, located at the intersection of the iconic Wynwood and Midtown Miami neighborhoods. It is the first tenant to move into the recently completed building. R&B Realty Group, the developer behind The Gateway at Wynwood, was represented by Colliers’ executive managing director Stephen Rutchik, managing director Tom Farmer and director Tyler de la Pena. OpenStore was represented by JLL’s Adam Bernstein and Jeffrey Gordon. 

“We are very excited to welcome OpenStore to The Gateway at Wynwood,” says Shelby Rosenberg, R&B Realty’s head of development and acquisitions, asset and property manager, US Portfolio. “OpenStore is a fantastic fit for our spec suite program, offering the tech company flexibility as it continues to scale up and grow.” 

OpenStore connects merchants and customers into a single unified shopping experience through access to data, information and capital. The company announced in July that it raised $30 million in Series A funding, with a valuation of $250 million. OpenStore’s goal is to offer instant liquidity for eCommerce entrepreneurs.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
