Frequently Asked Questions
Is Downtown Miami up and coming?
Downtown Miami is in the midst of its biggest transformation in decades. The completion of Miami Worldcenter (27 acres of mixed-use development), the Brightline station, and multiple supertall towers under construction are fundamentally changing the neighborhood. Corporate relocations (Citadel, Microsoft, Blackstone) are driving office and residential demand. While still grittier than Brickell, Downtown's trajectory is sharply upward.
What's the difference between Downtown Miami and Brickell?
Downtown is Miami's cultural, governmental, and transit hub — home to museums, the performing arts center, and the Brightline station. Brickell is the financial and residential hub — sleeker, more polished, with luxury retail. Prices are 15-25% lower in Downtown. Both share the free Metromover. Downtown has more upside potential; Brickell is more established.
