Brickell’s roots trace to Mary Brickell and her family, who settled on the Miami River in the late 1800s and helped plat much of the city. By the early 20th century, South Miami Avenue was lined with opulent estates that gave rise to “Millionaire’s Row.” Post-World War II, the mansions gave way to low- and mid-rise apartments. By the 1970s, Brickell began transforming into Miami’s financial district, attracting international banks and corporate offices. The 2000s sparked a high-rise residential boom, as young professionals and investors sought city living. Brickell today is a global skyline, home to 60+ towers, Brickell City Centre, and the most walkable environment in Miami.
