Brickell House · #2509

Brickell House is a 46-story LEED-certified condominium at 1300 Brickell Bay Drive, completed in 2014 by Newgard Development Group with architecture by Sieger Suarez Architects and common-area interiors by Yabu Pushelberg, the Toronto/New York firm behind The Park Hyatt New York and the Four Seasons Bora Bora. The Brickell House tower delivered 374 residences in studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans plus penthouses, configured around a central core with floor-to-ceiling glass and glass-railing balconies on every unit. The signature feature is one of the first fully automated robotic parking garages in the United States, in which residents drop a vehicle at a transfer cab and the system stores and retrieves it from a vertical rack. Residences include open European kitchens, full-height windows, in-unit washer/dryer, and master suites with walk-in closets. The 1300 Brickell Bay Drive address sits in the heart of Brickell's Financial District, two blocks from Brickell City Centre's open-air Climate Ribbon mall with Saks Fifth Avenue, CMX cinema, Apple, and the EAST Miami hotel. Mary Brickell Village, with its Rosa Mexicano, Truluck's, and Publix, is a four-block walk, and the Brickell City Centre and Eighth Street Metromover stations both sit within a three-block radius. The MiamiCentral Brightline station -- with direct service to Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando -- is a 12-minute Metromover ride north, and the Rickenbacker Causeway to Key Biscayne is a five-minute drive south on Brickell Avenue. Simpson Park Hammock, one of the few remaining tracts of original Brickell pine rockland, sits two blocks west. The Brickell House amenity program is built around the 46th-floor rooftop, where a sky deck and pool overlook Biscayne Bay and Key Biscayne. The lower amenity floor adds a 50-foot lap pool with poolside cabanas, a private owners' lounge with event bar and catering kitchen, a private theater, a conference room and business center, a spa with coed sauna and steam, and a fitness center. Service includes 24-hour concierge and valet, on-site management, and the robotic parking system itself, which Newgard positioned as both an amenity and an architectural feature. Pet-friendly policies, electric vehicle charging access, and direct elevator access in select residences round out the program.
