While South Beach has been considered the gem of Miami for decades, the neighborhood of Brickell is gaining major attention and has actually seen its own population more than triple in the last two decades.
In fact, the area is projected to be home to just under 110,000 residents by next year. So what is Brickell and why are so many native South Floridians falling in love with the upstart part of town?
Here are some of the top reasons.
Huge new residential developments
One of the top reasons why Brickell is becoming so popular is because there seem to be more and more Brickell apartments for rent as the days go by. There are tons of new residential developments and mixed-use developments. Perhaps the most notable is the Brickell City Centre, which opened up in 2016 and features condo towers, officers buildings, a hotel, and 500,000 square feet of shopping area. Other major residential properties include the Brickell corridor, Brickell Key and more.
It is a modern neighborhood
One of the primary benefits of being a relatively new part of town is the fact that it has things that people use and love today, rather than things that people used to love and use in generations past. Many of the most popular residential developments in the neighborhood come with top-class amenities. On top of that, the financial district of Brickell has the fast and bustling feel to cities like New York and San Francisco more so than the laid back vibe of South Beach.
High culture
Brickell is quickly becoming a cultural center for Miami and is nearby to many of the city’s top cultural and artistic venues. Brickell lies just north of Museum Park which is host to Miami’s major music festivals as well as the Pérez Art Museum Miami as well as the Museum of Science. Whether you live in Brickell or are simply visiting for business or pleasure, there is no end to what you can see, do and learn in Brickell.
Delicious dining
As long as we are talking about what you can do in Brickell, we simply cannot go one without talking about the bountiful and delicious dining experiences that are right around each and every corner of the Miami neighborhood. Whether you are looking for authentic Cuban and South American food, imports like sushi and Italian cuisine, or anything in between, there is no doubt that you will be able to find exactly what you are craving night and night out while in Brickell.
Major staycation potential
This summer, you may feel as though hopping on a plane and heading somewhere far for vacation isn’t the best idea. Luckily, Brickell offers major staycation appeal with some of the best and most luxurious hotels in Miami dotting the neighborhood. One of the top hotels in the area is the Mandarin Oriental. With its spa and incredible view, you can truly feel like you are far away from home while possibly being just a few blocks away!
