Brickell Avenue is the
name given to the stretch of U.S. Route 1 in
Miami, Florida just south of the Miami
River.
It is the main road through the
Brickell district of Downtown Miami, and is
considered to be one of the most prestigious
avenue names, as it is associated with big
business, wealth and finances.
It is an off-grid plan main north-south
thoroughfare through the south part of
downtown Miami.
From the Miami River south it continues
south-southwest and upon crossing Broadway
it curves southwest and continues in that
direction until it terminates at Southeast
26th Road/Rickenbacker Causeway, becoming
South Federal Highway for a short distance
(about 1/4 mile) until it becomes South
Dixie Highway.
Brickell (pronounced "BRICK-uhl") is a
neighborhood partly within Downtown Miami,
Florida. It lies south of the Miami River,
extending south to SE 26th Road (the
Rickenbacker Causeway), and is mostly mixed
financial and residential north of Broadway,
and mostly residential south of Broadway.
Brickell Avenue is home to Miami and South
Florida's financial district as well as the
site of many high-rise luxury condominium
and office towers that constantly redefine
the Miami skyline. Referred to as the
"Manhattan of the South", Brickell is home
to the largest concentration of
international banks in the United States,
mostly along Brickell Avenue, Brickell's
main north-south avenue and along Miami
Avenue, home to many of Miami's top
restaurants, shops and places of
entertainment. A few hundred feet east of
the northeastern side of Brickell is
Brickell Key, an island of upscale,
high-rise residential and hotel towers.
The area of Brickell south of Broadway and
is mainly low and mid-rise residential
buildings west of Brickell Avenue and
high-rise residential to the east of
Brickell Avenue. This area of Brickell
includes the "Millionaires' Row" section of
Brickell Avenue, home to many expensive
residences, and home to many of Miami's most
expensive apartments and condominiums, as
well as some iconic Miami skyscrapers, such
as the Atlantis Condominium.
Although Brickell Avenue has traditionally been
known as a financial district, in recent
years, construction of numerous condominium
and apartment towers in Brickell, has
extended the upscale residential
neighborhood feel of lower Brickell into
upper Brickell. Recent construction in
Brickell has also enlarged the urban core of
Brickell from Brickell Avenue west to the
Metrorail line, with new office and
residential towers, such as Axis at Brickell
Village and Mary Brickell Village, built
west of Miami Avenue. Today, over 25,000
residents live in Brickell.
At the center of Brickell Avenue , is Mary Brickell
Village with an assortment of restaurants,
boutiques, services that create a gathering
area for high-class retail and restaurants.
Some the best and most well-known names are
leasing space in the project. The project is
designed after a French style village and
attracts social gathering and entertainment. |

Brickell
Avenue Miami - History and Culture in Miami Florida
Just north of Brickell Point where the Miami
River flows into Biscayne Bay, you can see
the statue of a proud Tequesta Indian. It
stands as homage to the indigenous people
who first settled this area. And in the
1870's, along the same shores of this river,
pioneers William and Mary Brickell commenced
development by operating their trading
outpost. It was Mary who first envisioned
the Brickell we know today, 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. So prestigious did
the area become, that before long it was
referred to as "Millionaire's Row." The
mansions have since given way to towering
office buildings and luxury condominiums,
yet Brickell is still a center for trade and
commerce, where the pioneering,
entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well.
A window on the future.
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. Certainly the
significance of being the second largest
booming international financial center in
the United States will further stimulate
Miami's entire downtown area and lure new
residents and business alike.
And just as diversity has always been the
key to Miami’s growth and success, so too is
it the key to Brickell's. Be it the wealth
of cultural influences, the many
international business interests
represented, or even the simple contrast of
the many modern office structures with quiet
shady streets, Brickell is a dynamic area
that the world is recognizing as a leader
for the next century.
Windows on the world of commerce.
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. It is the country's second
largest international banking center. 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.
In keeping with the pioneer spirit of
William and Mary Brickell Avenue trading
post, Miami has earned the respected title
of Free Trade Capital of the Americas. Rest
assured, its prominence is not limited to
Latin America. Miami hosts more than 64
consulates from around the globe, 29
bi-national chambers of commerce and 21
foreign trade offices.
With over 5 million square feet of office
space, Brickell Avenue is adjacent to the
Port of Miami and within minutes of Miami
International Airport, which services more
scheduled international flights than any
other airport in the Western Hemisphere.
It's no surprise that when the world looks
to the leader in international commerce, all
eyes are on Brickell.
Windows on the world of luxury living.
Rising above the beautiful waters of
Biscayne Bay is one of the most unique and
identifiable skylines in the world. The
luxury condominiums on exclusive Brickell
Key and those that line Brickell Avenue
provide an incomparable life of luxury to
their residents. It seems only fitting that
they be located on the same precious strip
of land that was once known as
"Millionaire's Row," in honor of the grand
estates that stood upon it. Though much has
changed in the last 100 years, the friendly
neighborhood charm of Brickell endures.
From 2001 through 2005, over 4,000 new
luxury apartments and condominium residences
were erected in the Brickell Avenue area and
that trend shows no sign of abating. As the
area continues to thrive, more and more
people who work in Brickell are choosing to
live in Brickell. Why commute when there is
such an incredible quality of life just
steps from the office?
And perhaps 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.
The cultural riches from our window on the
world.
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. And if you’re a sports
enthusiast, you’ll have plenty to cheer
about. The Heat plays at the Miami Arena
downtown and the Dolphins and Marlins just
20 Minutes north at Pro Player Stadium.
For cultural pursuits, Brickell Avenue 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. Metro-Mover and
Metro-Rail give you access to downtown and
all of Miami, and the connecting Tri-Rail
can take you north to Ft. Lauderdale and
Palm Beach. And should looking out at the
painted horizon turn your thoughts to
travel, you are just a short drive from two
major international airports, not to mention
the world’s busiest cruise port. |
