What is the Friends & Family period at 619 Brickell?

The Friends & Family period is the exclusive reservation window before the official public launch of 619 Brickell — and it historically represents the lowest pricing a new development will offer. This is standard practice for luxury pre-construction in Miami: early reservers secure units before the developer adjusts pricing at official launch. Given the current market, the launch price is expected to be double digits higher. As construction progresses and inventory decreases, pricing has traditionally trended upward across comparable Brickell developments. The Friends & Family window is expected to close by April 2026, making now the best opportunity to secure a residence at introductory pricing. Contact us to learn about current availability.

What is the deposit structure at 619 Brickell?

Contact us for projected maintenance costs once available.

Can foreigners buy at 619 Brickell?

Financing options may differ for non-US residents — some developers offer extended deposit schedules for international buyers. Contact us for guidance on international purchase procedures, wire transfers, and any applicable tax considerations.

Is 619 Brickell a good investment?

619 Brickell is positioned as a strong investment opportunity due to several factors: Nobu-branded residences command premium resale values globally, Foster + Partners architecture adds lasting prestige, its direct Biscayne Bay waterfront location is irreplaceable, Brickell is Miami's fastest-growing financial district with major employers like Citadel relocating, and pre-construction pricing typically offers 15–30% appreciation by delivery. However, all real estate investments carry risk and buyers should consult with financial advisors.

Is 619 Brickell a good choice for foreign investors?

Yes. Miami is the capital of Latin America — a multilingual, globally connected city with no state income tax and no inheritance tax. For international buyers, branded residences like 619 Brickell serve as a proven vehicle for wealth preservation: the Nobu name carries global recognition, providing resale confidence across borders. All preconstruction deposits are held in escrow for buyer protection. With established EB-5 investor pathways and a deep international banking infrastructure, Brickell is one of the world's most accessible markets for foreign real estate investment.

How does preconstruction pricing work at 619 Brickell?

Preconstruction pricing allows buyers to purchase at today's prices for a residence that delivers in the future — in this case, Q4 2030. Historically, comparable Brickell towers such as Brickell Heights, SLS Brickell, and Icon Brickell have appreciated 15–30% or more between preconstruction launch and delivery — and in the current market, with record demand and limited bayfront inventory, appreciation could be even higher. Buyers pay staged deposits tied to construction milestones rather than the full purchase price upfront, with the balance due at closing. The Friends & Family period — open now through spring 2026 — offers the lowest pricing the building will ever see, before the developer raises prices at public launch.

What is the investment potential of 619 Brickell?

Branded residences globally command a 25–35% price premium over comparable non-branded units, according to Knight Frank and Savills research. 619 Brickell benefits from multiple macro tailwinds: Miami's population growth and corporate migration, Brickell's transformation into a global financial hub, limited remaining bayfront development sites, and the Nobu brand's global cachet for resale and rental demand. Combined with Florida's zero state income tax and strong asset-protection laws, 619 Brickell represents a compelling preconstruction investment opportunity. Consult with qualified financial and legal advisors regarding individual investment decisions.

Can I rent out my 619 Brickell residence?

Yes. 619 Brickell residences are expected to be available for rental, subject to the condominium association's rental policies. Nobu-branded residences command premium rental rates due to the brand's global recognition, full-service amenities, and hospitality-level concierge. Brickell's strong demand from finance professionals, corporate relocations, and international tenants supports a robust luxury rental market. Contact us for specific rental guidelines and projected rental income.

What are the estimated property taxes at 619 Brickell?

Property taxes in Miami-Dade County are assessed annually based on the property's assessed value. For luxury condos in Brickell, the effective tax rate is approximately 1.8–2.1% of the assessed value. For a $2.5 million residence at 619 Brickell, estimated annual property taxes would be approximately $45,000–$52,500. Florida offers a homestead exemption of up to $50,000 for primary residents, which can significantly reduce the tax burden. Consult a tax advisor for personalized projections.

The 40% deposit structure (10/5/15/10/60) spreads payments across construction milestones, with the 60% balance due at closing.

Why is Brickell considered ideal for wealth preservation through real estate?

Florida offers no state income tax, no inheritance tax, and robust homestead and asset-protection laws — making it one of the most favorable jurisdictions in the United States for real estate-based wealth preservation.
