Condos with a prestigious Brickell Avenue address have always been high in demand. Why? Because living in Brickell means residents are right in the middle of the second-largest business and banking center in the U.S. that is also the biggest gateway to businesses in Latin America. 

Not to forget, with the recent business exodus from Silicon Valley and up North, Brickell is now home to a majority of influential offices in South Florida, and is also fondly nicknamed “Wall Street of the South.”

Sandwiched between S. Miami Avenue and the dazzling waters of Biscayne Bay, Brickell Avenue begins at the mouth of the Miami River and stretches down to the Rickenbacker Causeway. This somewhat 1.7-mile-long stretch is bordered by several consulates, foreign offices, financial institutions, schools, fine restaurants, bars, a marina, a Metromover station, and of course, the Bay – making it a true live-work-play environment fit for young professionals and families alike.

Here’s a list of things you should know before moving to a Brickell Avenue address:
