Commercial Real Estate
| 2026 tax roll | 33129 | 33131 | Miami-Dade County |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial & industrial parcels | 161 | 1456 | 56,871 |
| Building area (million SF) | 1.58 | 32 | 626.68 |

Commercial property here is mostly Class A and B office, ground-floor retail inside mixed-use towers, and hotels; very few stand-alone buildings trade. Sales are thin and prices per square foot run high because land is scarce and nearly every site is a tower site. Condominium office units also change hands, which can pull medians around from year to year.
Brickell has about 33.6 million square feet of commercial buildings and recorded 16 arm's-length sales at a median $538 per square foot, above the county's $373. There were 9 distress signals; we score them with Linton Global Technologies' CREDDS Framework (see our distressed commercial real estate hub).
On the commercial side, Brickell trades at $538 a foot, above the county, because buyers are paying for location and newer buildings. The distress that exists is worth a close look.
