Brickell City Centre Mall Reaches 97% Leased, Retail Sales Rising

Retail occupancy and sales volume continues to rise at Brickell City Centre’s shopping mall.

Publicly traded Swire Properties told investors this month that the shopping mall was 97% occupied as of September 30 (compared to 89% on December 31, 2022).

Occupancy figures include space allocated to prospective tenants who have signed letters of intent.

Retail sales volume at Brickell City Centre is also rising this year – up 16.% through September 30, compared to the same period in 2022.

The mall is majority owned by Swire (62.93%), with minority stakes by Simon Property Group (25%) and Bal Harbour Shops (12.07%).

Swire is planning to break ground on the next phase of the project soon, a near-supertall office tower called One Brickell City Centre. The new phase will be nearly all office, and only add an additional 17,014 square feet of retail/food and beverage space.

BCC is a beacon of walkability and a blueprint to be followed! Great that it is finally cementing its place in Miami’s cultural landscape. Hope Worldcenter is just as good!

Worldcenter has wider sidewalks and it’s an open space concept so it’s set to be even more walkable and neighborly.

BCC is a mall, of course it’s walkable, I don’t expect people to drive inside it😂

Why not. Miamians are obsessed with their cars.

A mall is the lowest form of walkability. Shaded, mixed-use neighborhoods like coconut grove are the gold standard. An even better example is the West Village in Manhattan.

Miami Worldcenter will be the next example.

Cementing its place in Miami’s cultural landscape? Oh come on. It’s a nice shopping center, but it’s generic and could literally be picked up and put into any major city center and it would fit right in. It has nothing to do with Miami’s culture. Notwithstanding, credit is due for the “Climate Ribbon” (which was a good idea to implement).

True, it could be in any major city but very few places would it actually thrive. Malls are a dying breed outside Florida.

As folks on here love comparing it, The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards is still doing quite well, despite losing Neiman Marcus. Also, every largest mall in the U.S. apart from maybe Mall of America and American Dream (a.k.a. Meadowlands). So no, Miami is not immune to the retail apocalypse.

BCC looks like a dog park. There is more dogs than people shopping and pee all around the mall.

Thats because Brickell doesn’t have parks so they have nowhere else to go.

Manhattan has plenty of parks and yet the dogs do their business wherever they want. Owners do not take their dogs to parks to relieve themselves. Dogs also mark their territory, so they will in any outdoor environment.

Swire should donate some parks to a brickell of create them in new projects

Wow. Miami is growing and evolving so rapidly and in so many ways. Judging by all the whining and criticizing on this message board, one would think it was little more than another Detroit, Cleveland or Pittsburgh. Or worse yet, another Oakland! Lighten up, people, no matter what you may think about what’s happening in Miami, it could always be much worse!

How much residential is Airbnb leased for mongroids?

What makes people think that, in 10 years, BCC won’t be another Sunset Place? These outdoor-indoor malls tend to age horribly.

Miami World Center is a better urban design because it maintains a traditional street grid+ground floor retail+wide sidewalks. These 3 things never go out of style. Multi-level malls, even those with no roofs, are subject to a domino effect – if a few main anchors leave, the entire mall eventually goes with it.

Mark my words. In 10-15 years, there will be talk of demoing the entire thing and mimicking MWC
