RCC to Build ZUMA Restaurant at EPIC Residences & Hotel in Miami

MIAMI, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- London's award winning restaurant, ZUMA, has
selected South Florida-based RCC Associates General Contractors to build its
first U.S. location at EPIC Residences & Hotel in Miami, Florida.

With ZUMA, known for its internationally acclaimed style of modern Japanese
cuisine, RCC continues to build upon its reputation as one of the nation's

overlooking the Miami River complete with an outdoor dining area. In its
unique location, ZUMA will be one of the only restaurants in the Biscayne Bay
area accessible by boat.

sushi counter with dedicated master sushi chefs and the Robata Grill, inspired
by the age-old cooking style of northern Japanese fishermen. ZUMA's other
current locations include London, Hong Kong, Istanbul and Dubai.

ZUMA Miami is planned for a 20-week construction schedule, with completion
anticipated in April 2010. Architect for the restaurant is Charles H. Benson
