The area's famous 'work, live, and play' lifestyle attracts residents looking for luxury Miami condos with a different flare

Miami's Brickell neighborhood is rich with history and Miami luxury real estate, yet it's growing like never before. Brickell's legacy began in the late 1800's when Mary and William Brickell settled in an area south of the Miami River. As Brickell Avenue and its surrounding neighborhood progressed, it quickly became known as the home of Miami and South Florida's financial district. It is often referred to as the 'Manhattan of the South,' because of its claim to the largest concentration of international banks in the United States.

However, although the Brickell area historically has a widespread reputation as a financial district, in recent years, construction of numerous condominiums and apartment towers has brought new attention to the area. Prior to the recent building boom, lower Brickell was the portion of the area known for Miami luxury real estate, which includes well-known luxury homes and Miami condos on 'Millionaire's Row' located east of Brickell Avenue and Brickell Key, an island of upscale high-rise residential and hotel towers, located just east of the northeastern side of Brickell.

Today, Brickell is perhaps the fastest growing neighborhood in Miami as evidenced by its rapidly changing skyline.These Miami condos are sought-after by residents looking to live in a neighborhood where they virtually never have to leave.This 'work, live, play' lifestyle that the Brickell area offers has brought renewed attention to the area.Some of the newer condominium buildings include:

• Jade
• Four Seasons
• Icon
• Skyline on Brickell
• Axis
• Vue at Brickell
• Asia
• Brickell on River
• The Plaza
• Espirito Santo
• Infinity at Brickell

In addition to its increasing popularity as a residential neighborhood, the one-time business district is now a popular attraction for locals and tourists.Now many of South Florida's top restaurants, shops and places of entertainment are a part of the Miami luxury real estate in Brickell.One such attraction is Mary Brickell Village, which includes such eateries, retailers, and services as:

• Grimpa Steakhouse
• P.F. Chang's
• Rosa Mexicano
