The Brickell Condo Market: A Comprehensive Guide for Buyers and Sellers

This article covers all you need to understand regarding the Brickell Condo Market, catering to both buyers and sellers. We’ll explore the current market status, its future outlook, and which Brickell condos to consider, whether you’re interested in existing condos or new construction condos.

Brickell in a Nutshell

Brickell, often referred to as the Manhattan of the South, stands as Miami’s vibrant urban hub. Renowned for its plethora of luxury residential towers, it serves as the center of Miami’s activity. This dynamic neighborhood attracts numerous young professionals who both work and socialize here. Brickell hosts a multitude of financial institutions and companies and offers a diverse array of bars, restaurants, and shops. Lately, it has garnered significant attention from hedge funds and international companies, driving the neighborhood’s ongoing expansion. To meet the influx of companies relocating to the area, Brickell is currently witnessing the construction of 6 million square feet of Class A office space.

The Changing Dynamic of Brickell and The Brickell Condo Market

Historically, Brickell condos primarily targeted renters, with 80% of the market consisting of rental units. During the previous cycle, there was a significant surge in the market, particularly with the introduction of smaller 1-2 bedroom units, catering to young professionals seeking rentals. This segment of the market performed relatively well despite fluctuations common in investor-driven markets. However, in 2021, the landscape shifted as more companies announced their relocation to Brickell. This influx of residents altered the area’s demographic significantly. Now, there is a growing demand for larger units from residents intending to make Brickell their year-round home. Consequently, new condo projects are tailored to meet the needs of these primary residents.

The Best Existing Brickell Condos

The market for properties under one million dollars remains strong. However, perceptions of a slowdown are not uniform across all buildings. Older properties face challenges, while those built in the last decade are performing better. Rising HOA fees and assessments are hitting older condos particularly hard. Brickell’s market has long lacked truly luxurious condos, especially larger units. Until recently, the Four Seasons Residences were the only genuine luxury option.
