Chef Clay Conley is bringing three of his Palm Beach concepts to Miami's western suburbs at once. According to an Instagram post circulating this week, Conley's group will open Buccan, Imoto, and Buccan Sandwich Shop together under one roof at 100 Miracle Mile in Coral Gables — the operator's first known expansion beyond Palm Beach County.
The three-concept build is an unusual structure for a South Florida expansion. Buccan, the small-plates and wood-burning oven restaurant that established Conley as one of Palm Beach's most closely watched operators, would anchor the project. Imoto, the Japanese-inflected sibling that has shared a South County Road address with Buccan in Palm Beach, brings a distinct program — raw preparations, izakaya-style plates — that expands the group's menu range without requiring a second address. Buccan Sandwich Shop, the pressed-sandwich offshoot that became a Palm Beach lunch staple, rounds out the trio and adds a daytime revenue layer.
The logic of the format is clear: three identities, one landlord negotiation, one kitchen infrastructure, and a combined offering that can support a Miracle Mile rent structure. Multi-concept builds of this type have become increasingly common among operators looking to maximize square footage while differentiating across meal periods and price points.
The 100 Miracle Mile address puts the project on the pedestrian-oriented stretch of Coral Gables' central commercial corridor — a block-by-block mix of independent operators, national tenants, and a growing number of chef-driven arrivals that have steadily repositioned the street over the past several years. The walkable residential base and above-average household incomes in Coral Gables fit the Buccan Group's existing customer profile in Palm Beach closely enough to make the move legible.
The sourcing here warrants a note. The announcement came through a third-party South Florida hospitality Instagram account, not through Buccan's own channels. No permits or lease filings at 100 Miracle Mile have been independently verified as of this writing. The concept details and location should be treated as operator-stated intent until a permit filing, signed lease, or direct confirmation from the group surfaces.
If the project proceeds on the terms described, it marks Conley's first direct-operated expansion outside Palm Beach. The operator has not franchised or licensed the Buccan name; what is being described is a new flagship, not a satellite.
Permit activity at 100 Miracle Mile will be the clearest early indicator of the timeline. No opening window has been announced, and the Coral Gables building department's public filings will confirm whether construction is underway before the operator makes a formal announcement.
