About Brickell

Brickell ( BRIK-əl) is a neighborhood in Miami, Florida, historically referenced at times as Southside (being south of the Miami River), located directly east of Interstate 95, south of the Miami River and north of Coconut Grove. Brickell is known as the financial district of Miami, as well as South Florida. Brickell was founded in the mid-19th century, growing to become Miami's "Millionaire's Row" in the early 20th century after the construction of lavish mansions along Brickell Avenue by Mary Brickell; both the avenue and neighborhood were named for Ms. Brickell and her husband, William Brickell. By the 1970s, office towers, hotels and apartments began replacing the historic mansions.
