Lincoln Road continues to evolve

Miami Beach residents were heard on Election Day. With several developments proposed in and around the Lincoln Road District, voters didn’t see the need for more.

Lincoln Road already generates more pedestrians than Miami’s other neighborhoods, attracting 8 million visitors in the past year. With five acres of shops, cafes, public art and culture, visitors can spend an entire day in a single destination.

This appeal is fueling a robust commercial scene, with 85% of storefronts occupied and a new generation of concepts from across the United States and the world opening. This year has seen the arrival of 16 retailers, 14 of which are new to Miami. Another 12 brands will debut by year’s end.

Dining hotspots Mila and Chotto Matte are thriving, and new additions include Bogota’s Andres Carne de Res,

New York’s Tacombi, Portland’s Salt & Straw, and the Cheesecake Factory.

Lincoln Road will also soon feature three office projects developed by Michael Shvo and designed by renowned architects Sir Norman Foster, Peter Marino and Kobi Karp. A Thompson Hotel and Grand Hyatt are also underway.

With the holidays,

World Cup soccer and Art Basel approaching, we invite locals to experience the new Lincoln Road. Visitors will be greeted by free public art, including the largest Keith Haring mural in the world, and 12 monumental sculptures by Richard Orlinski. Visitors also will experience programming by our cultural anchors New World Symphony, Miami New Drama and Peekaboo Studios.
