Brickell is the financial center of Miami and South Florida. The skyscrapers of banking, law, medical, and multi-national offices are surrounded by condominiums inhabited by a bustling community that embraces the ultimate in the “live, work, play” philosophy. Biscayne Bay, with boats large and small leisurely enjoying the year-round sunny weather, serves as the picturesque background, with a waterside promenade frequented by residents, workers and visitors to the area for a walk or exercise. The restaurants and shops on Brickell Avenue and Mary Brickell Village were joined in recent years by Brickell City Centre, the 4.9 million-square-foot, mixed-use complex that has made Brickell the urban destination of South Florida.
