Buyers and renters who seek downtown urban-style living in Miami will revel in their options in Brickell. Multiple high-rise condominium and apartment buildings offer everything that residents need in close proximity—often just a short walk away. Many luxury condo buildings include spas and fitness clubs. Residents can walk to work at the major banks and financial institutions. They can walk to outdoor restaurants, stroll along the bay, go running or jogging along Biscayne Bay, or just enjoy a cocktail on their terrace overlooking the water and the warm winds.
The opening of Brickell City Centre in 2016 transformed the area by providing residents with world-class options for living, dining, and shopping. This $1.05 billion development now features two residential towers (Reach and Rise), the East Hotel, and a four-story shopping and entertainment complex anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and CMX luxury cinemas.

Market Dynamics:
The most prestigious section, stretching from SE 15th Road to the Rickenbacker Causeway. Home to waterfront estates, tree-lined streets, and the newest ultra-luxury developments including St. Regis, Una Residences, and the upcoming Mandarin Oriental. Lower density than central Brickell with a more residential feel. Simpson Park, one of the last remaining tropical hardwood hammocks in Miami, anchors the western edge.
The pulsing heart of the financial district with the highest concentration of office towers, banks, and residential high-rises. Maximum walkability to Brickell City Centre, Mary Brickell Village, and multiple Metromover stations. This is where you'll find Icon Brickell, Brickell Flatiron, and the Four Seasons. Expect constant energy—this area never sleeps.
A private 44-acre island accessible by a single bridge, offering a quieter, more exclusive enclave. Developed by Swire Properties starting in the 1980s, the island features established luxury buildings (Asia, Carbonell, Tequesta Point towers) and will soon host the Residences at Mandarin Oriental. Shuttle service connects to mainland Brickell. The island feel provides a retreat from urban intensity while remaining minutes from everything.
More affordable options west of I-95 with improving walkability and connectivity via The Underline linear park. Mercedes-Benz Places is transforming this area with its redesigned Southside Park. Several new mid-rise developments target young professionals seeking Brickell access at lower price points. Direct Metrorail access at Brickell Station.
The emerging corridor along the Miami River, anchored by Baccarat Residences at the river's mouth where it meets Biscayne Bay. Superyachts, waterfront dining, and a developing riverwalk create a distinct maritime character. Access to Biscayne Bay by boat without bridge clearance restrictions.

Notable Restaurants:
While Brickell itself is primarily residential and commercial, world-class cultural institutions are minutes away in Downtown Miami:
Brickell has limited school options within the neighborhood itself, but several quality schools serve the area:
Public Schools (Miami-Dade County):
Private Schools:
Note: Many Brickell families with children opt for private schools in Coconut Grove (Ransom Everglades, Carrollton) or Coral Gables, typically a 10-15 minute drive.

Yes, for the right buyer. Brickell offers unmatched walkability, a vibrant dining/nightlife scene, proximity to work (financial district), and excellent transit. It's ideal for young professionals, international buyers, and urban lifestyle seekers. However, it's not ideal for families seeking top schools, those wanting beach proximity, or buyers preferring quiet suburban living.

Brickell Key: Asia, Carbonell, Three Tequesta Point
Brickell Key is a private 44-acre island connected to Brickell by a single bridge, offering a quieter, more exclusive enclave. Home to established luxury buildings like Asia, Carbonell, and the Tequesta Point towers. The island will soon host The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami's most anticipated ultra-luxury development (delivering 2029).
Brickell is more residential and upscale than Downtown. While Downtown has Arts & Entertainment venues (Kaseya Center, PAMM, Frost Museum), Brickell offers more luxury dining, shopping (Brickell City Centre), and polished high-rise living. Downtown condos average $718/sq ft compared to Brickell's $940+ for luxury properties.
Yes. Brickell has strong rental demand from young professionals working in the financial district. Key considerations:
15-20 minutes by car via the MacArthur Causeway (I-395). The Metromover connects Brickell to Downtown, where you can access the Miami Beach shuttle or rideshare.
Varies by building. Many luxury buildings restrict or prohibit short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO). Some newer developments like One Twenty Brickell are explicitly short-term rental-friendly. Check individual building rules before purchasing for investment.
Major projects include: St. Regis Residences (152 units, Q4 2027, from $4M), Residences at Mandarin Oriental (228 units, 2029, from $4.9M), Cipriani Residences (397 units, 2027, tallest in Brickell at 940 feet), Baccarat Residences (360 units, 2026, French crystal brand), Mercedes-Benz Places (791 units, 2027, first US branded residences), 1428 Brickell (195 units, 2028, solar-powered), Una Residences (135 units, early 2025), and One Twenty Brickell (240 units, 2028, sold out).
Brickell City Centre is a $1.05 billion mixed-use development by Swire Properties opened in 2016. The complex features an open-air shopping center with Saks Fifth Avenue and 100+ retailers, CMX luxury cinemas, the East Hotel, and the Reach/Rise residential towers. Its signature "Climate Ribbon" provides natural cooling through elevated walkways.
HOA fees in Brickell vary significantly by building and amenities:
Fees typically include water, cable, internet, building insurance, and amenities. Higher fees at branded residences (St. Regis, Mandarin Oriental, Cipriani) include butler service, housekeeping, and hotel amenities.
Brickell earns this nickname because it's Miami's most densely developed neighborhood with a concentration of high-rise residential and office towers, walkable streets, world-class dining, and 24/7 energy. Like Manhattan, Brickell functions as a true live-work-play neighborhood where residents can walk to their offices at major banks and financial institutions, dine at celebrity chef restaurants, and enjoy vibrant nightlife—all without a car.
Brickell is Miami's mainland financial district with hundreds of high-rise towers, maximum urban density, and constant activity. Brickell Key is a private 44-acre island connected to Brickell by a single bridge, offering a quieter, more exclusive enclave with lower density, established luxury buildings, and a resort-like atmosphere. Brickell Key residents enjoy the privacy of island living while being minutes from mainland Brickell's amenities.
Yes, Brickell has become a global destination for branded residences from luxury hospitality and automotive companies:
These branded residences command premium prices but offer hotel-level services, global membership privileges, and historically strong appreciation.
