Lincoln Road Shopping Center History

The first steps in the development of the mall were taken in the middle of the last century. Then businessman Karl Fischer got the idea to equip the alley and make it look like New York's Fifth Avenue and Los Angeles Rodeo Drive. But he even exceeded his expectations — Lincoln Road Mall became the pioneer in the field of outdoor trade.

In the 1960s, responding to the growing trends of pedestrian shopping zones, renowned architect Morris Lapidus was hired to reimagine Lincoln Road. Lapidus, who also designed the famous Fontainebleau Hotel, transformed the street into a pedestrian mall, adorned with lush greenery, fountains, and open-air cafes, a move that was innovative in urban design at the time.

Over time, the mall has undergone several renovations, each time enhancing and expanding its offerings to visitors. In the early 21st century, another major renovation was carried out, incorporating modern design elements and further solidifying Lincoln Road's status as a leading commercial and cultural hub in the region.

Today, Lincoln Road Mall is not just a shopping center; it is a cultural and social hub where art fairs, concerts, and festivals take place, becoming an integral part of life in Miami Beach. An architectural ensemble with a summer mini-theater, stage and modernized canopies made this place even more attractive.

The pedestrian street also houses the Florida Arts Center, a musical theater, a cinema, and art galleries. Initially, this place was filled with an atmosphere of luxury and wealth thanks to fashion shows held there, gathering a large crowd of tourists.
