The 5 Most Luxurious Condos on Brickell Key, Ranked by Price Per Square Foot

Brickell Key is Miami's hidden island — a private, gated, 44-acre triangular enclave floating off the tip of Brickell, reached by a single bridge and wrapped by a 1.5-mile waterfront promenade. Originally a pair of spoil islands created from Henry Flagler's 1896 channel dredging and merged in the 1940s, it sat largely empty until Swire Properties acquired it in 1978 and spent four decades transforming it into a self-contained urban sanctuary: condominium towers, the Mandarin Oriental hotel, parks, a Japanese garden, and a man-made beach, all within a guarded gate minutes from the Brickell financial district.

This guide ranks the best condos on Brickell Key by average list price per square foot — drawn from our own live building data at the time of publishing — with our read on each building's architecture, amenities, and the buyer it fits. Because nearly the entire island was master-planned by a single developer, the buildings share a remarkable consistency of quality — and the differences between them come down to vintage, position, and amenity depth. We close with the island-redefining redevelopment now underway.

Why Choose Brickell Key?

Brickell Key offers something genuinely rare in Miami: a quiet, secure, resort-like island that's still a five-minute drive (or a pleasant walk over the bridge) from the restaurants, offices, and nightlife of Brickell. The island operates almost like a gated community within the city — guarded entry, low through-traffic, and a residents-first sense of calm.

The island's amenities are a major part of the appeal. A 1.5-mile Baywalk linear park rings the entire perimeter, popular with runners and walkers for its unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline, and the cruise ships entering PortMiami. The island also offers a Village Green, pocket parks, a Japanese garden, and a small man-made beach — a level of green, walkable open space that the dense Brickell mainland can't match.

For buyers, Brickell Key combines the energy and convenience of Brickell with the privacy and security of an island address — water views from nearly every building, a true neighborhood feel, and proximity to Downtown, the airport, and Key Biscayne.

5. Courvoisier Courts — The Island's Amenity-Rich Original

Courvoisier Courts is one of Brickell Key's foundational residential towers — a 27-story building at 701 Brickell Key Boulevard, completed in 1997 by Swire Properties with architecture by J. Scott Architecture, the firm responsible for most of the island's residential skyline. With 270 residences in one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts plus penthouses, it occupies a prime waterfront position near the island's entrance.

What makes Courvoisier Courts notable, even as one of the island's earlier buildings, is the breadth of its amenity program — unusually deep for its era. Residents enjoy a two-story fitness center, a large heated pool, a Jacuzzi hot tub, and racquetball, squash, and croquet courts, alongside a business center, a full-service concierge, and 24-hour valet parking. That mix of recreation facilities is genuinely rare and gives the building an active, club-like character.

The position on the island delivers wide water views — Biscayne Bay, the Miami River mouth, and the Brickell skyline — and the building's established status means a deeper, more liquid resale market than the newer, smaller towers. As the most accessible per-foot entry on this list, Courvoisier Courts is a practical way onto a famously exclusive island, with full amenities and a walk-everywhere position along the Baywalk.

For buyers who want an island address with a genuine recreation program at an attainable price, Courvoisier Courts has been a Brickell Key staple for more than 25 years.

Best for: buyers who want an established Brickell Key address with a deep, club-style amenity program at the most accessible per-foot entry on the island.

4. Tequesta Point — Swire's Three-Tower Waterfront Enclave

Tequesta Point is Brickell Key's largest residential community — a trio of Swire Properties towers on Brickell Key Drive that together hold roughly 808 residences: One Tequesta Point (completed 1995, 30 stories, 287 units), Two Tequesta Point (1998, 38 stories, 285 units), and Three Tequesta Point (2001, 46 stories, 236 units including penthouses). All three were designed by J. Scott Architecture, giving the enclave a cohesive architectural identity.

The scale and range are the point. Across three towers and three construction vintages, Tequesta Point offers one of the deepest, most varied condo markets on the island — one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts plus penthouses, at a wide span of price points — which makes it the most practical entry into island living for many buyers. The towers occupy the southern stretch of the island, with broad exposures over Biscayne Bay and the channel.

As Swire-built towers, all three carry the consistent construction quality and management standard that define Brickell Key, along with resort-style amenities — pools, fitness centers, concierge, and valet — and direct access to the island's 1.5-mile Baywalk. Three Tequesta Point, the tallest and newest of the trio at 46 stories, commands the highest views and pricing within the enclave.

For buyers who want selection — a real range of floor plans, exposures, and price points on a single prestigious island — Tequesta Point offers more choice than any other address on Brickell Key.

Best for: buyers who want the widest selection of floor plans and price points on the island, inside Brickell Key's largest, most established residential community.

3. Carbonell — The Recreation-Forward Tower at the River Mouth

Carbonell sits at the northwest corner of Brickell Key, near the mouth of the Miami River — a 40-story tower at 901 Brickell Key Drive, completed in 2005 by Swire Properties with architecture by J. Scott Architecture. With 284 residences in one- to four-bedroom layouts, it's one of the larger and more amenity-rich buildings on the island, and its position delivers some of the best skyline-and-river views on Brickell Key.

Carbonell's calling card is its recreation program, among the most complete on the island. Residents enjoy racquetball, tennis, and squash courts, a heated infinity-edge swimming pool, a whirlpool spa, and a bi-level fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment — a genuine athletic-club roster rather than a token gym. The building rounds that out with a full-service concierge, a clubroom, a business center, a conference room, high-speed security-controlled elevators, and 24-hour valet.

The northwest siting near the river mouth gives Carbonell dramatic, layered views — the Miami River, Biscayne Bay, and the Brickell and Downtown skylines — and the building's larger floor plans appeal to families and full-time residents who want space and recreation in one package. As a mid-2000s Swire delivery, it pairs the island's signature construction quality with a more contemporary residential layout than the 1990s towers.

Best for: buyers who want larger floor plans, a serious recreation and fitness program, and dramatic river-and-skyline views on the island.

2. Courts Brickell Key — The Refined Waterfront Standard

Courts Brickell Key is one of the island's most refined residential towers — a 33-story waterfront building at 801 Brickell Key Boulevard, completed in 2002 by Swire Properties with architecture by J. Scott Architecture. With 318 residences in one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations, it strikes a balance between the boutique scale of Asia and the larger communities elsewhere on the island.

Courts is known for a more understated, residential sensibility — a quieter, polished building that has held its standing as a premium Brickell Key address for over two decades. The waterfront position delivers wide bay and skyline exposures, and the floor plans are well-proportioned and livable, which has made it a favorite among full-time island residents rather than purely an investor building.

The amenity program covers the island essentials with a refined touch: a dedicated concierge, 24-hour valet parking, a resort-style swimming pool, and a well-appointed fitness center, all with direct access to the Baywalk promenade that rings the island. As an early-2000s Swire building, it carries the developer's consistent construction quality and management standard, and it trades at a premium to the 1990s towers while sitting just below Asia at the top of the island's per-foot pricing.

For buyers who want a polished, established waterfront address with a quieter residential character — and a per-foot entry below the island's trophy tower — Courts Brickell Key is one of the most consistently desirable buildings on the island.

Best for: buyers who want a refined, established waterfront tower with a quieter residential feel, just below the island's trophy pricing.

1. Asia — The Island's Architectural Trophy

At the top of Brickell Key sits Asia — the island's architectural statement and its per-square-foot leader. Completed in 2008 at 900 Brickell Key Boulevard by Swire Properties with architecture by J. Scott Architecture, this 36-story waterfront tower holds just 123 residences, making it one of the most boutique and exclusive buildings on the island. It occupies the northern tip near the mouth of the Miami River, with sweeping views of the river, Biscayne Bay, and the skyline.

Asia is an iconic architectural statement of verticality, dramatized by a volume of space punched out of the southern façade to create a striking colonnaded terrace for the pool deck — a design move that gives the building its unmistakable silhouette on the Brickell Key skyline. The boutique residence count, low density, and prime northern-tip position combine to keep it at the very top of the island's market.

The residences are finished to a genuine trophy standard rare among the island's other towers: private elevators, 12-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, Italian-designed wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and Miele and Sub-Zero kitchen appliances. Amenities include a cutting-edge fitness center, a full-service concierge, a serene swimming pool framed by that signature colonnade, a hot tub, and a tennis court. The combination of architectural distinction, boutique scale, and the highest finish level on the island keeps Asia firmly as Brickell Key's trophy address.

Best for: buyers who want the island's architectural trophy — boutique scale, the highest finishes on Brickell Key, and a northern-tip position with sweeping river-and-bay views.

What's Next: The Island's Ultra-Luxury Redevelopment

Brickell Key is entering its most significant transformation since Swire began building in the 1980s — and it will reset the top of the island's market well above any delivered building. After the Mandarin Oriental hotel closed in 2025 (and was imploded in 2026), Swire is redeveloping the site as The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami — a branded ultra-luxury condominium expected to open around 2030, positioned among the highest-priced new development in the city. Nearby, Casa Cipriani Miami brings the storied Cipriani brand to a residential tower on the island. Both target a buyer well above the delivered market — and both are worth tracking for anyone weighing a new ultra-luxury contract against a resale in one of the five buildings above. See our guides to The Residences at Mandarin Oriental and Casa Cipriani Miami for the full picture.

Island Life on Brickell Key

The island's lifestyle is a core part of its value:

• The Baywalk — a 1.5-mile waterfront promenade ringing the island, with unobstructed bay, skyline, and PortMiami views
• Parks & green space — a Village Green, pocket parks, a Japanese garden, and a man-made beach, all within the gated island
• Walkable to Brickell — the restaurants, offices, and nightlife of the mainland are a short walk or drive over the bridge
• Security & calm — a guarded, low-traffic island that functions like a gated community within the city

The Bottom Line

Brickell Key offers a rare combination in Miami: the convenience of Brickell with the privacy, greenery, and security of a gated island. Master-planned by a single developer, its buildings share a consistent quality, and each makes a distinct case:

• Asia for the island's architectural trophy and highest finishes
• Courts Brickell Key for a refined, established waterfront tower with a quieter feel
• Carbonell for larger floor plans and a serious recreation program at the river mouth
• Tequesta Point for the widest selection of floor plans and price points
