Brickell is my favorite neighborhood, and this is going to be a huge upgrade—with the new park and beautifully lit, landscaped retail corridors weaving through this serene yet vibrant enclave.

Everything east of I95 is totally transforming for the better in Miami, and hope to see that growth continue even west along the river, like by Make a Wish and Dream Hotel and eventually all the way to the Miami Airport. Love seeing this!

I totally agree. I just don’t understand why developers aren’t snapping up properties on the W side of the river. Could it be the 12 story height limit? I hope the city/county considers raising the limit W of the river. They did this about 10 years ago but the community cried foul and got them to reverse the decision. Maybe time to reconsider?

Nope Eastside, that’s Southside, Conch Hill, or East Little Havana, depending on what side of the street you are on. It has never been called West Brickell, except by real estate agents with barely a high school education.

Wrong. It has been and is called West Brickell.

With a 5th Grader’s level of research, you will find that 955 SW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33130 is called “West Brickell Apartments”. The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser lists West Brickell Apartments with folio # 01-0207-000-1110

If you have ever submitted plans for redevelopment of any West Brickell parcels, you will see that the the zoning changes from Brickell (East of the Metrorail tracks) to West Brickell (West side of the tracks).

The DDA, the County, the City, and anyone outside of sales and marketing is perfectly fine embracing West Brickell as it’s own identity.

Check out what one of the foremost Real Estate data authorities, CoStar Group, $31.95 billion cap on NASDAQ: CSGP) maps out as “West Brickell” by clicking on this:
https://www.apartments.com/west-brickell-miami-fl/?bb=6s9282vtsGn_5v2D

In my 30+ years of living or running businesses in Brickell, the first time I ever heard West Brickell called Brickell was on this website…by some guy who’s Realtor told him that West Brickell was Brickell but had zero high rise office buildings, gas stations, affordable housing, and hardware stores.
I can hear it now, “Yeah….it IS Brickell! People don’t know it, but you are paying $350 a foot when just on the other side of the tracks, people are paying $600 a foot. Same thing!”

Sheik, is not acting in good faith. He is lying to you. He tried this a year ago. There are lots of addresses west of I95 that use “west” Brickell and lots of addresses on 2nd Avenue that just use “Brickell.”

Buddy…I am acting in good faith and always have.

Are you the same guy who’s Realtor SOLD you on West Brickell?

There are several Realtors who convince VERY gullible people that West Brickell is the same as Brickell.

Relax and embrace it.

The DDA maps around the city show this is Brickell, well it depends which ones they change them every year. Go snag a picture before the erase it. I’ve seen lots of people taking pictures of them to get around the city.

The Real Deal and SOFL business journal call it Brickell too.

The RTZ zoning, which has been in place here and throughout Brickell for as long as I can remember, remains unchanged. It mirrors the zoning found on Bay or Brickell Avenue, with improvements aimed at streamlining permitting.

This area benefits from better zoning that promotes quieter, more upscale living, while maintaining select low-rise lots to preserve airflow and sunlight around neighboring Billionaire’s Row—all supported by thoughtful infrastructure planning around Brickell Station.

Sheik just lost me. Brickell is the entire neighborhood east of I95. There are no tracks, just the Underline in the center. Some call west Brickell west of 95 others say east little Havana or riverside.

Brickell History Teacher

While Brickell did have tracks, they existed during a completely different era than I-95. The Florida East Coast Railway ran through the area starting in the early 1900s, and those tracks were removed in the early 1980s to make way for Metrorail. I-95 didn’t even reach Brickell until 1969. So any claim that the tracks defined “West Brickell” or that Brickell was only east of them is false and historically impossible. Brickell developed on both sides of the old corridor, and the neighborhood as we know it grew up around Brickell Station at the center.

They should consider adding some beach volleyball courts. Other city neighborhoods have them, like Edgewater, and I think locals would love it.

Yes, oddly, the developers who tried to build easterly into Biscayne Bay National Park ran into a few challenges.

Plenty of empty lots still exist in Greater Downtown Miami, with older buildings also needing to/ will be redeveloped. Even with transit access, every other building is a box on top of a parking podium. Can you imagine how bad any new development will be west of I-95?

I think Little Havana would benefit from some development but not the type that is in Brickell. Preserving Little Havana’s architecture and culture will be critical to any plan to re-make the area. I think smaller scale apartments with no cereal boxes nor parking podiums make sense there
