Brickell
SLS Lux at 801 S. Miami Ave
The SLS Lux at 801 South Miami Avenue is continuing work on the site before getting ready to start the foundation pour soon.
The site is located across from Brickell City Centre and the under construction Brickell Heights.
Over the span of three years the skyline and neighborhood of Brickell has changed dramatically. With the addition of Brickell City Centre, Brickell Heights, Brickell House, 1100 Millecento and many other condos, the area has grown from empty lots to sky high towers surrounding the land just South of the Miami River.
