Ofeature the environmentally friendly Climate RibbonTM architectural design, integrated access to the Miami Metromover light rail station, and an underground car park.
Brickell CityCentre will have competition to its immediate north and south – The Village of Merrick Park, located just over 5 miles south, with its already existing haute shopping and dining, and the Miami Design District, situated just under 5 miles north, with its current vogish restaraunts and planned insurgence (by 2014) of nearly 50 high-fashion luxury retailers. Undoubtedly, Brickell, with its small neighborhood feel and the sizzle of a major metropolis, will prevail. For it, unlike the Miami Design District and the Village of Merrick Park, will have it all – unparalled shopping, retail and dining, gorgeous sky-reaching residences, and a multitude of professional office spaces.

Brickell CityCentre will boast not only twin high-rise office buildings, a much needed addition to Brickell’s skyline, but will also host a sumptuous 243-room hotel (yet to be named), an 800 unit twin-tower condominium, a 120,000 sq. ft. wellness center and a 500,000 sq. ft luxury retail and entertainment haven, just to name a few of the project’s highlights. And for the ecoconcious consumer, Brickell CityCentre will
