Just four years after opening in a meticulously restored Miami Beach Art Deco building, Apple’s Lincoln Road store is nearly always mobbed, so much so that the company wanted to build a grander, and edgier, glass-enclosed new store down the block.
But that would have meant tearing down a building that, while nearly nondescript in style, sits inside a protected historic district. And when the city’s historic preservation board balked at the idea of demolition, Apple pulled the plug on the proposal.
As the New World Symphony lowers the curtain on the Lincoln Theatre to move onto its new campus, the historic building is being transformed from a performance venue into a multilevel retail center.
Lyle Stern, a retail veteran, along with a group of real estate investors teamed up to buy the 1935vintage theater at 541 Lincoln Road and an adjoining four-story office building last February.

Developer MDM Development is to start construction in November at Metropolitan Miami, at 200 S.E.

Miami Beach’s Lincoln Theater has inked its first retail tenant as it prepares for a second life as a multi-level shopping center after existing as a theater since 1935. Miami Today reported that H&M will take some of the 35,000 square feet of space at the theater for its first Miami location, and will be one of three or four stories in the space at 541 Lincoln Road in Miami Beach.
