Bristol Tower · #1406

Bristol Tower is a 40-story curvilinear condominium at 2127 Brickell Avenue, one of the earliest ultra-luxury towers built along the corridor known as Millionaires' Row. Completed in 1993 and designed by Luis Revuelta of Revuelta Vega Leon for builder Ugo Colombo, the Bristol Tower Condominium delivered 147 residences over 40 stories at a time when most of Brickell Avenue was still single-family and mid-rise. The circular footprint gives nearly every Bristol Tower unit 270-degree exposures across Biscayne Bay, Key Biscayne, and the downtown skyline. Two-, three-, and four-bedroom floor plans run from roughly 1,800 to over 3,800 square feet, with marble and hardwood floors, formal foyers, gas fireplaces in select tiers, and deep wraparound terraces that read more like older Sunny Isles than newer glass-tower Brickell. The Bristol Tower address sits on the southern, low-density stretch of Brickell Avenue between SE 21st Road and SE 22nd Road, the quieter residential pocket closer to Coconut Grove than to Mary Brickell Village. Walks south along the Bay reach the historic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in roughly 15 minutes by car, while the Rickenbacker Causeway entry to Key Biscayne and Crandon Park is less than a mile north. Mary Brickell Village and the shops of Brickell City Centre with its Saks Fifth Avenue, CMX cinema, and the Brickell Metromover loop sit about a mile north, and Coconut Grove's CocoWalk and Regatta Park are an eight-minute drive south on Bayshore Drive. Amenities at Bristol Tower lean residential and country-club in tone rather than hotel-style. The building offers two lighted tennis courts, a heated bayfront swimming pool with sundeck, a sauna, a Jacuzzi, a fitness center, a social room for private events, 24-hour valet, full concierge, and a controlled-access security operation. Storage cages, deeded parking spaces, and pet allowances round out the standard package, and the older floor plates allow private elevator vestibules in upper-tier residences -- a feature most newer Brickell towers do not offer.
