Florida Land Use News: Plans for Redevelopment of 1111 Lincoln Road Unveiled

One of the joys of living on Miami Beach in the 21st century is keeping up with creative land uses. The latest installment is the plan for redevelopment of 1111 Lincoln Road.

Your blogger takes special pride in featuring this latest development, since I represent the developer as his property tax attorney and property tax consultant for the project on a going-forward basis. The most recent press release for 11 11 ("Eleven Eleven") announces the following exciting details.

Miami Beach Mayor David Dermer recently hosted Robert Wennett, visionary behind the ambitious 11 11 project, at his City Hall office for a signing ceremony to ratify the public-private development agreement between the City and Mr. Wennett’s company, UAI Management, LLC. The 11 11 project will reinvent both public and private spaces at the western end of Lincoln Road, heightening pedestrian, commercial and residential experiences, alike, with its breathtaking blend of new urbanism and über architecture.

“Robert has brought Miami Beach a wonderful project – an oeuvre in concrete and glass, if you will – that defines both the new urbanism and creative architecture that are so important to planning for our City's future,” commented Dermer. “Robert’s amazing vision is an unlikely mélange of understated architectural elements, jutting lines, varied functions and organic accoutrements and it will undoubtedly take Lincoln Road, a jewel of Miami Beach, to new heights,” he added.

11 11 is a revolutionary integrated project that will offer an entirely new context for retail, residential, dining and parking experiences on Lincoln Road, Miami Beach’s premier pedestrian promenade. Envisioned by developer Robert Wennett and designed by world-renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron, 11 11 will debut Fall 2008. 11 11 will transform the western corner of the promenade with 11 curated street-level retail spaces. The structure will feature 50,000 square feet of high-end retail with floor-to-ceiling-glass storefronts; four private residences; approximately 100,000 square feet of fully-leased offices for creative businesses in the fields of entertainment, design, fashion and production; a rooftop restaurant and multiple levels of on-site covered parking.
