Affordable Brickell Condominiums

Brickell real estate is on fire with closings taking place almost every day. Whether property in a new construction condominium or one that is established and may have buyers chomping at the bit to buy property, Brickell combines the best of a top metro area with a tropical atmosphere and landscape.  And, yes, other major metro areas feature waterfront property but no other offers panoramic views of crystal blue waters paired with the feeling of the Florida sunshine and balmy breezes.

An article in yesterday’s South Florida Business Journal stated that “Miami's Brickell financial district is among the 10 most expensive markets in the Americas to lease an office.” The article went on to state that even though it is one the most expensive, it is still substantially less than the equivalent in New York’s Midtown (about $50 per square foot compared to $130).  Because of this, companies from New York to Sao Paulo are coming to Brickell to open offices.

Real estate listings in Brickell range from about $100K to about $1.5 million making it possible for most any buyer to afford property. To provide insight as what you get for you money, here are a few affordable Brickell condominiums:
