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.
