How these figures are calculated

* Market condition. Market condition compares a county's share of active listings with a price reduction and its median days on market with the Florida statewide figures Realtor.com publishes for the same month. Both above the statewide figure: leaning buyer's market. Both below: leaning seller's market. Anything else, including a tie or one missing metric: balanced. Both metrics missing, or no statewide figure for that month: shown as —. This is a read of asking-side listing data only; it is not months of inventory or a measure of closed sales. Florida statewide, September 2026: 20.1% of listings with a price cut, 81 median days on market. Methodology · Data dictionary

Residential. Realtor.com® Economic Research, monthly. Listing counts, days on market and listing prices come from the monthly history; price-cut share and $/SF are stored for the latest month (September 2026) only. Earlier months show the snapshot for that month, not an average. YoY compares a month with the same month a year earlier; for September 2026 it uses Realtor.com's published YoY figures.

Commercial. Florida Department of Revenue tax roll (NAL/SDF) and Florida Department of State (Sunbiz), via LGData; Linton Global calculations. Commercial (DOR 010-039) and industrial (040-049) parcels. Sales and $/SF = arm's-length single-parcel sales (DOR qualification codes 01-02) on the current roll, excluding hotels/motels (DOR 039, which in resort counties includes condo-hotel and vacation-rental units). Areas with fewer than 5 parcels, and $/SF medians from fewer than 5 sales, are suppressed.

How much commercial property is in Brickell (ZIPs 33129, 33130, 33131)?
The 2026 final tax roll lists 3,410 commercial and industrial parcels with 43.6 million square feet of buildings.
What are median sale prices per square foot in Brickell (ZIPs 33129, 33130, 33131)?
ZIP 33130: $488 on 28 sales; ZIP 33131: $538 on 13 sales. A median mixes property types and ages, so compare the building to similar recorded sales.
How many bank REO transfers appear in the sales data for Brickell (ZIPs 33129, 33130, 33131)?
ZIP 33129: 0, with 3 arm’s-length sales; ZIP 33130: 1, with 28 arm’s-length sales; ZIP 33131: 7, with 13 arm’s-length sales. The count shows what was recorded, not what is for sale today.
Who owns commercial property in Brickell (ZIPs 33129, 33130, 33131)?
ZIP 33129: 85.1% held by entities, 6.2% out-of-state owners; ZIP 33130: 79.8% held by entities, 14.4% out-of-state owners; ZIP 33131: 87.8% held by entities, 7.8% out-of-state owners. To reach an owner, you may need an entity’s registered agent or a mailing address outside Florida.

Median year built: ZIP 33129: 1980; ZIP 33130: 2010; ZIP 33131: 1982. Age alone doesn’t set condition, so check the roof, HVAC and electrical systems and their records.

Work the numbers

What is the average building area per parcel in Brickell (ZIPs 33129, 33130, 33131)?
43.6 million SF ÷ 3,410 parcels ≈ 12,795 SF. An average can hide a few very large buildings.
Hypothetical: a 13,000 SF building in Brickell priced at the ZIP 33130 median of $488 per SF. What is the price?
13,000 × $488 = $6.34 million. That is arithmetic on a median, not an appraisal or an opinion of value.
Same hypothetical 13,000 SF building, with an assumed 7.5% cap rate. What NOI would $6.34 million need?
$6.34 million × 7.5% = $475,800 a year. The cap rate is an assumption for practice, so check the actual rent roll and expenses.
With $475,800 of NOI, what is the most annual debt service an assumed 1.25 DSCR allows?
$475,800 ÷ 1.25 = $380,640 a year. Lender terms vary, so treat 1.25 as an example.
ZIP 33131 has a median of $538 per SF and ZIP 33130 $488. What is the gap on a 13,000 SF building?
$50 × 13,000 = $650,000. ZIP medians can rest on few sales, so check what actually sold.
About how many industrial parcels are in Brickell (ZIPs 33129, 33130, 33131)?
ZIP 33129: 0.0% of 161 ≈ 0; ZIP 33130: 0.9% of 1,793 ≈ 16; ZIP 33131: 0.0% of 1,456 ≈ 0.

Brickell: Market Overview

Brickell grew from a banking corridor into a full live-work district. Office towers sit beside thousands of high-rise condominium and rental units, with Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village anchoring retail and dining.

Corporate and financial-firm relocations to South Florida have favored Brickell, pushing top-tier office rents well above the rest of the county. Older Class B towers trade differently from the new trophy buildings, which is where most of the pricing gap shows up.

Metrorail and Metromover connect Brickell to Downtown, and the Rickenbacker Causeway links it to Key Biscayne. Little land remains, so new supply comes mostly from redeveloping older low-rise sites.

What makes Brickell different from Downtown Miami?

Brickell is the financial district, with the newest office towers and the highest office rents. Downtown has more government, courts and older office stock, plus the arena and cultural venues.

Is Brickell office space in demand?

New trophy space has led the Miami office market on corporate relocations. Older Class B towers compete on price and face more vacancy.

Where do distressed and REO commercial properties show up in Brickell?

Mostly in older office and condominium buildings that need capital, and occasionally in retail condos. They usually reach the market through lender dispositions, note sales and foreclosure auctions run by the Miami-Dade Clerk, and many trade before they are ever listed.

Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, and Linton Global Solutions advise on Brickell acquisitions, dispositions, financing and bank-owned (REO) and distressed commercial property. Our Miami-Dade numbers come from LGData, our database of Florida Department of Revenue tax-roll records.
