Craig Robins

Chief Executive Officer, Dacra

Craig Robins, part of the Robins family dynasty, has built his reputation transforming the Miami Design District into a luxury retail and design destination. He’s also married to Jackie Soffer, CEO of Turnberry Associates, and together they form one of Miami’s most powerful real estate couples.

Robins, CEO of his Design District-based firm, partnered with Brookfield Properties and LVMH subsidiary L Catterton Real Estate to become the district’s largest landowner. The neighborhood is home to brands such as Hermès, Gucci, Chanel and Cartier, as well as Michelin-starred restaurants. Robins also serves on major art boards, co-founded Design Miami, and played a key role in establishing the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami. He can be spotted walking around the neighborhood. 

The death of family patriarch Jerry Robins in 2022 sparked a bitter estate battle between Robins’ sister, Stacey, and his siblings Gina and Scott. Scott and Stacy are also in the real estate business: Scott is a developer and broker who leads the Scott Robins Companies, and Stacy owns her own residential brokerage, the Stacy Robins Companies.
