Our buyers at both Brickell Heights and SLS LUX are excited about these changes and can’t wait to start living the lifestyle,” said Carlos Rosso, President of the Related Group’s condo division.

“Closing is easy after buyers see that today’s Brickell matches up to what they saw in renderings a few years ago. They bought into a walkable, metropolitan downtown lifestyle, and now they’re excited to start living it. We look forward to delivering SLS LUX in the winter and completing our vision for South Miami Avenue.” said Carlos Rosso, President of The Condominium Development Division of The Related Group.
