Lincoln Road always seems to be a hive of construction activity, considering its sky-high retail rents and eternal popularity with tourists and locals. (even those locals who proclaim Lincoln Road is dead. Come on.) Lately, construction continues to bring large new flagship stores to the road, as well as two new, dare we say, discount big-box stores. Luckily, due to the influence of the City of Miami Beach government as well as local activists, the architecture has stayed at a fairly high bar.
