South Monroe (SoMo) Walls Project

Tallahassee Tornado: Aftermath & Impact

The recent tornadoes in Tallahassee have left a profound impact on the community, with devastating effects for many. Our hearts go out to all those affected by this event. While the Somo Walls project site was fortunate to have escaped major damage, there is still significant cleanup required. Multiple trees fell, and debris from surrounding areas littered our site.

We are grateful that the damage to our buildings was minor. Designing a visually appealing building that can also withstand major winds is no easy task. Faced with 100+ mph winds and still seeing our tower, patio canopy, rooftop platforms, fins, awnings, etc., standing, is a testament of our design team's quality work. We will continue to assess this week, but at this point, it seems we can quickly repair our issues and move forward with only a week or two delay.

Final Construction Update

By the end of April, we completed all of the active construction which included our parking lot, sidewalks, landscaping, and the shell of our building. The construction fences are down, and we are finishing up the final touches of our tenant build outs. Walls Distilling Company and The Monroe Restaurant are near interior completion, with only a few items left until we close out our permits.

Upcoming Expected Openings: Our anchor tenants are diligently working to put the final touches on their respective spaces. With the hiring process in its early stages, each establishment is assembling a dedicated team of professionals ready to deliver exceptional service and experiences to the people of Tallahassee. As anticipation builds, these tenants are set to make a vibrant addition to the community in the coming months. Here is a recap of what is opening soon at SoMo Walls:

• Walls Distilling Company (Distillery): Brace yourselves for a fusion of tradition, innovation and modernity. The distillery's state-of-the-art facilities are a unique addition to Tallahassee, offering residents a fresh and distinctive experience.
   

• The Monroe (Restaurant): Get ready to be taken on a contemporary culinary adventure. Offering a modern dining experience, paired with delicious cocktails and a spacious patio setting, The Monroe aims to be your go-to local destination.

   

•   Burn Boot Camp (Fitness): Among the initial tenants to sign their lease, Burn will bring in transformative 45-minute workouts, comprehensive nutritional support, trainer-focused meetings, complimentary childwatch, and the backing of one of the premier fitness communities in Tallahassee.
