Brickell City Centre Update: Almost All Units Closed at Reach

Brickell City Centre continues to move closer to final completion. After receiving its TCO in April, Reach, the first residential tower delivered by Brickell City Centre, has now closed on 311 of 390 total units. Of thes, 89 are back on the MLS available for rent and 30 are listed for sale. Investors had planned to rent 2 bedroom units for $4,500 and 1 bedroom units for $3,500, but 15 actual signed and leased units are closer to the $2,700 range for 1 bedrooms and $3,500 for 2 bedrooms. While there is still to be a flood of units to hit the market as SLS Brickell, SLS Lux, Brickell City Centre Rise, etc. hit the market, pricing and demand is still factoring in the construction and fact that Brickell City Centre's retail and entertainment portion of the development will not be open until at least November. East, one of the hotel towers of Brickell City Centre, opened earlier this Summer and closings should start soon at Rise. 

Tenant Update: Brickell City Centre

The 500,000 square-foot shopping center, anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and Cinemax, is set to open in November.  Co-developers Whitman Family Development and Simon Property Group recently announced new additions to its diverse roster: Armani Collezioni, Intermix, Audemars Piguet, Diptyque, Pandora, Stuart Weitzman, Italia Independent, and the largest Apple store in Florida. The mall will bring a mix of luxury and accessible brands to an under-served market, while creating hundreds of local jobs. 

City Center will appeal to foodies as well: an Italian food hall the likes of which has yet to open in Florida - until now - will be debuted, along with a variety of familiar and new eateries like Dr. Smood, Luke’s Lobster, Haagen Dazs, Pasion del Cielo, and Pubbelly Sushi. 

The mall will be conveniently accessible by a Metromover stop and will have an underground garage to accommodate the influx of traffic.
