A Vision for “Billionaires’ Beach”: The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach Hosts Lincoln Road Reimagined

In a city where the skyline is constantly evolving, few addresses command attention like South Beach’s Collins Avenue. On May 16, the energy behind that evolution took center stage at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, South Beach, which hosted an exclusive panel event, Lincoln Road Reimagined, bringing together Miami’s top minds in real estate, architecture, and development to discuss the transformation of the 100 block of Lincoln Road and the entrance to the iconic beachwalk.

Katherine Kallergis, Frederik Eklund, Kobi Karp, Russell W. Galbut, Dayssi Kanavos, Lyle Stern & Andres Arcila

Moderated by The Real Deal’s Katherine Kallergis, the conversation unfolded inside a sleek new sales gallery, just unveiled within The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. The event spotlighted how this landmark stretch—fittingly nicknamed “Billionaires’ Beach”—is rapidly reshaping thanks to a collaboration between the State of Florida, the City of Miami Beach, and the ownership families behind The Ritz-Carlton and Sagamore Hotels.

Paul Kanavos & Pietro Belmonte

Panelists included real estate star Fredrik Eklund of EKLUND | GOMES, renowned architect Kobi Karp, and Flag Luxury’s Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos and Peter Kanavos Sr., who are spearheading the residential vision. Also contributing were Andres Arcila of Naturalficial, Russell W. Galbut of Crescent Heights, and Lyle Stern of Vertical Real Estate—each offering sharp insight into Miami Beach’s next chapter, which is being shaped as much by thoughtful design as by walkability, culture, and lifestyle innovation.

Following the discussion, over 150 guests enjoyed a rooftop reception complete with elevated bites and desserts by Chef José Andrés. With signature flavors like Tuna Tataki, Mini Lobster Rolls, and Garides in garlic-lemon beurre blanc, the fare matched the event’s upscale tone—an ode to the luxurious and communal spirit the new Ritz-Carlton Residences promise to deliver.

TALEA Beer Co. is the only exclusively woman and veteran-owned and founded production brewery (and taproom) in NYC.

On a mission to disrupt the beer bros dominating the craft beer industry, TALEA founders, LeAnn Darland and Tara Hankinson were both avid homebrewers with MBAs who met after leaving their corporate jobs in tech and media to join the beer industry. Working together at beer startup, Hopsy, they quickly realized that despite the booming craft beer market, no breweries were actively trying to speak to customers like them.

The taproom in Williamsburg is bright and airy. It's cafe by day, taproom by night, offering beer flights, wine, beer cocktails, coffee, kombucha on draft, pastries, guided tastings, and light bites like cheese and charcuterie plates. They also have a rotating selection of food trucks. The space was brilliantly designed by the architecture and design firm, Carpenter + Mason.

Our/New York is the first vodka distillery + bar in New York since the Prohibition. Our/Bar, re-opened in Chelsea last Summer and serves specialty cocktails specifically using the Our/New York Vodka. They also offer distillery tours and vodka tastings for individuals and groups.
