La Cosecha will be a 20000 SF Latin market in the ground floor of the 1270 4th Street N.E. building designed by Shalom Baranes Associates Architects. The market, designed by Gensler, will include the second U.S. location of elcielo from international celebrity chef Juan Manuel Barrientos. Elcielo's first locations were in Colombia, and Miami has the only other American location.
Ali Pacha, which means ‘the plant universe’ in the Aymara language, will serve plant-based fine Bolivian cuisine. Fans of Venezuelan cuisine will want to check out Federico Tischler’s White Envelope Arepa + Ceviche Bar. Pedro J. Rodriguez and Julio Robledo will open a second location of their popular Shaw Grand Cata wine shop at the market. And Giuseppe and Mario Lanzone of Peruvian Brothers fame will open their first bricks-and-mortar concept here.
There will be more than food at La Cosecha, however. Brazilian native Carolina Furukrona’s NOVA BOSSA will curate artisanal Latin American brands, offering art and home décor, bain couture, fashion
accessories, handbags, jewelry and ready-to-wear fashions. At the market, there will be film screenings, art exhibits, and live performing arts. And the Culinary Immersion Studio will give top chefs and novices alike a chance to show their culinary skills. Additional tenants, including a coffee shop and a bookseller, are planned for the future.
La Cosecha is expected to open in June.
