Brickell Real Estate

The financial district on the bay

Brickell is a Miami neighborhood directly east of Interstate 95, north of Coconut Grove, and south of the Central Business District and the Miami River. It reaches east to Biscayne Bay and south to SW 26th Road, at the Rickenbacker Causeway. It is part of Greater Downtown Miami, is known as the city’s financial district, and its ZIP codes include 33129, 33130 and 33131.

North of Broadway, which is SW 15th Road, the buildings are mostly financial and residential; south of it, mostly residential. Brickell Avenue is part of U.S. Route 1, becomes Biscayne Boulevard north of the Brickell Avenue Bridge, and is lined with office towers, condominiums, banks and restaurants.

From Millionaire’s Row to a residential district

The avenue and the neighborhood are named for Mary and William Brickell. The mansions built along Brickell Avenue in the early 20th century made it Miami’s “Millionaire’s Row,” and from the 1970s office towers, hotels and apartments began to replace them. In recent years a run of residential and mixed-use towers has turned the financial district into a residential community.

The Miami Circle, an archaeological site discovered in 1998, is believed to be 1,700 to 2,700 years old. It was listed on the National Register on February 5, 2002, and declared a National Historic Landmark on January 16, 2009.

Brickell Key and Brickell City Centre

Brickell Key, also called Claughton Island, is a man-made island off the mainland, built out with some of Miami’s tallest buildings and the Mandarin Oriental, Miami. Brickell City Centre, at Miami Avenue and Eighth Street south of the river, covers 9 acres with two residential towers, two office buildings, a hotel and a five-story shopping center. Mary Brickell Village opened in 2006 as the center of the neighborhood’s entertainment district.

Transit and green space

Metrorail stops at Brickell station, and the free Metromover’s Brickell Loop adds five stations, roughly every two blocks. The Underline, a linear park running south beneath the Metrorail, begins at the Miami River; its first phase, in Brickell, was completed on February 26, 2021.

Simpson Park Hammock is a 7.8-acre park and nature preserve between Brickell and The Roads, on the Miami Rock Ridge more than 15 feet above sea level, which is high for the Miami area. Alice Wainwright Park, also a nature preserve, is at Brickell Avenue and the Rickenbacker Causeway.
