The Lincoln, a boutique condominium, officially broke ground Thursday in Coconut Grove, signaling the start of construction on an eight-story building with just 48 residences tucked into the neighborhood’s tree-lined core. Developers are touting roomy floorplans, a wellness-heavy amenity list and a rooftop pool as a calmer, lower-scale alternative to Miami’s shiny glass towers.
According to South Florida Business Journal, LORE Development Group and Miami-based Element Development led the ceremonial shovel work at the Lincoln Avenue site. The 48-unit project and its roughly $1.5 million entry price were first detailed when sales launched, as reported by The Real Deal.
What the Lincoln Will Offer
Developer materials describe a 91,000-square-foot building with one- to four-bedroom residences, each with an in-suite den, ceilings up to 11 feet and private outdoor space. Planned amenities include a resort-style rooftop pool and observation deck, a 40-foot lap pool, a 2,133-square-foot wellness center with hot and cold plunge tubs, a co-working owners' lounge featuring a golf simulator, and a covered dog park. Those specifications and finish selections are outlined on The Lincoln's official site.
Where It Fits In The Grove
The Lincoln sits across from Glasshaus and just north of the bayfront cluster of recent projects that have reshaped Coconut Grove, including Grove at Grand Bay, Park Grove and Mr. C Residences. Developers say the building’s boutique scale (48 larger units rather than a dense tower) targets families and buyers who want space for remote work. The site’s entitlements and the developers’ plans were previously reported by The Real Deal, while nearby delivery and revival stories in the neighborhood have been tracked in coverage of after foreclosure drama.
Sales And Timeline
ONE Sotheby’s International Realty is handling sales for The Lincoln, which launched its marketing push earlier this year and lists starting prices around $1.5 million. Developers have not put a firm completion date on the calendar, with sales materials instead leaning on finishes and design details while construction moves into site work. For floor plans, pricing and the official breakdown, see the project’s fact sheet.
As shovels hit the dirt, neighbors and potential buyers will be watching how a compact construction site manages staging, deliveries and parking on a half-acre parcel. The Lincoln’s arrival underscores that boutique, low-rise luxury is still a bet developers are willing to place in Coconut Grove’s increasingly competitive condo market.
