Construction in the Brickell corridor is booming with more than a dozen major projects underway and nearly as many in the planning stages. One only has to drive two and a half miles north along the Brickell Avenue/Biscayne Boulevard corridor from 25th Road to the Miami Arena to see it firsthand.
A remarkable 5,548 residential units (752 rental and 4,796 condo) are currently under construction, along with 300,000 square feet of retail space and the same amount of commercial space. Add to that nearly 10,000 residential units in the planning and permitting stages, 620,000 square feet in retail space and more than one million square feet in commercial space.
With nearly every parcel developed or under construction along Brickell Avenue between Miami River and the Rickenbacker Causeway, it's hard to phathom that developers need any encouragement or incentive to break ground in this prized area. The current ordinance provides means for developers to increase the size of their projects rather than limit them. 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.
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.
During 2001 alone, almost 1,000 new apartments and condominium residences were erected in the Brickell area and there are plans that will likely double or triple that number in the next several years. As the area continues to thrive, more and more people that work on Brickell are choosing to live on Brickell. Why commute when there is such and incredible quality of life just steps from the office?
