Lyle Stern - Co-Founder, Vertical Real Estate

Ben Hoffman & Felipe Azenha

In this episode, we're joined by the one and only Lyle Stern—a true gentleman and an absolute legend in the Miami Beach retail scene. For over 40 years, Lyle has been the driving force behind transforming Miami Beach into a shopping mecca, bringing iconic brands like H&M, Brandy Melville, J.Crew, Banana Republic, Ted Baker, and Victoria’s Secret to its vibrant streets. But his journey wasn’t always glamorous. Tune in as Lyle takes us from his humble beginnings in real estate to becoming one of the most respected retail brokers in Miami Beach. It's a story of vision, grit, and the art of deal-making you won’t want to miss!
