Completed in 2002, the eight-story building served as headquarters for Starwood Capital and has been primarily vacant since the former anchor tenant left in 2022. The property also includes 30,000 square feet of retail space and a 499-space parking garage. The new ownership plans to implement a multimillion-dollar capital improvement plan at the asset.
Located at 1601 Washington Ave., Lincoln Place is off Collins Avenue and roughly 8 miles from downtown Miami Beach. It is also within walking distance of the Lincoln Road mall, in a walkable area featuring various retail options.
Miami’s office market stays strong
Newmark Senior Managing Directors Jeremy Hakala and Clay Sidner brokered the transaction. Black Lion Founder & President Robert Rivani stated in prepared remarks that the acquisition was in part driven by corporate migration to South Florida from markets such as Los Angeles, New York and Chicago.
Miami was the most expensive office market in the South with an average listing rate of $46.14 per square foot as of August, marking a 3.5 percent drop year-over-year, a recent CommercialEdge report shows. However, the metro had the lowest vacancy rate in the region at 11.6 percent, the same source shows.
In terms of transactions, Miami registered a volume of $408 million in the first eight months of the year, assets trading at an average $251 per square foot.
