Located just outside downtown Miami, Brickell includes office, retail and residential developments in one of the most prestigious urban communities in the country. Brickell is also home to the second largest financial district in United States. Centrally located it's only seconds from downtown and minutes from South Beach, Key Biscayne, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and Miami International Airport.
Brickell was initially developed as a neighborhood of wide, gently curving avenues with tree-lined medians and expansive water front estates that would appeal to a young nation's landed gentry. The area became so prestigious, that before long it was referred to as "Millionaire's Row." The mansions have since given way to towering office buildings and luxury condominiums.
In recent years, Brickell has come to the forefront of international business and luxury living. Desire for waterfront property and Brickell's emergence as Miami's cosmopolitan center have encouraged considerable development and even grander plans for the future. One trip down Brickell Avenue and you're sure to see why it is referred to as the "Wall Street of the South."
As a booming hub of world commerce, Brickell is home to over 100 international and domestic financial institutions. This proliferation, along with Brickell's proximity to the State and Federal courthouses, has given rise to tremendous growth in the accounting and legal professions as well, particularly real estate and trade law.
Rising above the beautiful waters of Biscayne Bay the luxury condominiums on exclusive Brickell Key and those that line Brickell Avenue provide an incomparable life of luxury to their residents. Though much has changed in the last 100 years, the friendly neighborhood charm of Brickell endures. The greatest luxury enjoyed by Brickell's diverse population of young professionals, empty nesters, and international businesspeople is the sense of community that is so rare in most urban settings. Brickell residents are secure knowing they can jog, walk their dogs or simply take a nighttime stroll along the streets of the neighborhood they call home.
Magnificent panoramic views allow those who live and work on Brickell to see virtually all that is within their reach. The glistening neon lights of eclectic South Beach, the pulsing streets of Coconut Grove and the natural beauty of Key Biscayne are all minutes away. For the sports enthusiast, there is plenty to cheer about. The NBA Heat plays at the Miami Arena downtown and the NFL Dolphins and MLB Marlins just 45 Minutes north at Pro Player Stadium.
Brickell is centrally located to the Vizcaya Museum, Miami City Ballet, New World Symphony, Florida Grand Opera, Miami Art Museum, Gusman Center for the Performing Arts and Coconut Grove Playhouse. Being at the center of the city also puts many transportation options within easy reach.
