A new mixed-use development is heading to Miami Beach's Lincoln Road, with an expected completion of 2017. The Miami Beach Design Review Board approved the long awaited plans after a 1 year extension as tenants relocated. The newly approved development will be a five-story building filled with a mix of a hotel, luxury retail and dining. The hotel will include 100 boutique hotel units across 45,000 SF with a European-style market in the 93,000 SF of retail space. The building will be designed by Perkins + Will and will help upgrade the existing aging infrastructure that currently makes up Lincoln Road. The project will help expand Lincoln Road across the street at 16th and Alton. Developer Crescent Heights has plans to build 2 more developments on Lincoln Road as this neighborhood gets an exciting shake-up.

Lincoln Road is starting to age and it is time to shake it up and make the shopping or recreational experience more enjoyable for all. James Corner Field Operations has been working on the redesign under close watch by the public and city alike. A revised plan for the Lincoln Road District Masterplan has been released by James Corner Field Operations.

The classic Miami styling and old-time charm of Lincoln Road do not appear to be lost. The revisions address the side streets, the Lincoln Lane North and South Alleys and redesigned sections of the road. Euclid Oval will now have a children's play area and an amphitheater. A "catwalk-style" fountain will run through the middle and renderings show that it can be turned into an actual catwalk for fashion shows, a great way to bring people and excitement back to Lincoln Road. There will also now be public "outdoor living rooms" featuring shaded recreational areas and areas specifically for table seating to help bring the congestion off of the sidewalks. The future for Lincoln Road appears to be bright as James Corner's plan continues to come together.
