Frequently Asked Questions
Is Brickell a good investment in 2026?
Brickell remains one of Miami's strongest investment markets. With major employers like Citadel, Microsoft, and Blackstone establishing offices in the area, rental demand is robust. Median condo prices have appreciated 34% since 2021, and new developments continue to sell out in pre-construction. The combination of population growth, corporate relocations, and limited waterfront land supports continued appreciation.
What is the average HOA fee in Brickell?
HOA fees in Brickell range from $0.50 to $1.50 per square foot per month, depending on the building and its amenities. A typical 1,200 sq ft condo pays between $600-$1,800/month. Luxury buildings with extensive amenities (pools, spas, concierge, valet) trend toward the higher end. Always factor HOA fees into your total monthly cost when comparing properties.
