Welcome to Season One Brickell
Brickell has undergone significant transformation due to rapid urbanization, erasing much of its original charm. Initially designed for opulent mansions and grand residences by Mary Brickell, the area earned the moniker "Millionaire's Row." However, starting from the 1970s, Brickell witnessed a shift with the emergence of towering office buildings along Brickell Avenue and high-rise residential structures in its southern precincts. The subsequent commercial surge in the 1980s spurred the construction of numerous office towers, reshaping Brickell into a densely populated urban hub blending residential and commercial elements. While historic remnants dot the landscape, including the iconic Tobacco Road, Brickell thrives on robust public transportation, with the Metrorail and free Metromover system seamlessly integrating the neighborhood into Miami's bustling urban fabric. Brickell's evolution mirrors the rapid urbanization experienced over decades, diluting its original essence. The commercial boom in the 1980s catalyzed further development, cementing Brickell as a vibrant urban enclave blending residential and commercial sectors.
