Scott Robins, former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, and Ben Mandell’s Tricera Capital Close on Lincoln Road Retail Asset for $13.6 Million





MIAMI, FL –– Scott Robins from Scott Robins Companies, Inc., former Mayor of Miami Beach Philip Levine, and Ben Mandell’s Tricera Capital, closed on 318-334 Lincoln Road, a ~24,000SF property located in the heart of Miami Beach, for $13.6 million.

The property was sold by RFR Realty, a New York-based real estate investment firm founded by Michael Fuchs and Aby Rosen.


Philip Levine

Scott Robins, known for transforming neighborhoods in Miami Beach, stated, “This part of Lincoln Road has long been the 'Times Square' of Miami Beach. Our acquisition of this asset marks the start of a new chapter in this area. 

Scott Robins 

"My partners and I are excited to restore this iconic location to its former glory, bringing back the bustling energy and allure it once had.”

Current tenants at 318-334 Lincoln include Mr. Jones Miami, South Beach Munchies, and Sweet Life Gelato Italian Ice Cream. Ownership is actively leasing and is currently in discussions with several tenants for the vacant units.

“We are excited to enter this market at such a unique time,” said Tricera Capital CEO Ben Mandell. “This part of Lincoln Road has seen strong performance over the last few years and continues to be a service-oriented and convenient staple for travelers to Miami Beach.”

The timing of this purchase aligns perfectly with the broader revitalization efforts on Lincoln Road, especially in the 100, 200, and 300 blocks. A significant investment of approximately $12 million—contributed equally by the State, the City, and the Ritz-Carlton South Beach—is being dedicated to enhancing infrastructure, implementing art and landscaping, creating pedestrian-friendly streets to harmonize with the rest of Lincoln Road.

“With major capital improvement projects on the horizon, including the construction of a beautiful, pedestrianized streetscape, enhanced public beach access, and the addition of new hotels, restaurants, and retail stores, Lincoln Road is poised to regain its splendor of years past," said Levine.
