Echo Brickell Under Construction
Echo Brickell is getting taller every month and was previously on the 32nd floor when we last looked earlier in May. The 57 story luxury condominium is now on the 41st floor.
Echo Brickell was designed by Carlos Ott and is being developed by Property Markets Group who also have the under construction 300 Biscayne Rentals in Downtown Miami.
The tower should be topped out by the end of the year.

Brickell Heights and SLS Lux
A week ago, the crane at the West Tower of Brickell Heights was removed. This past weekend the crane at the East Tower was in the process of being taken down at the site.
Construction is moving quickly on the two towers with 690 residential units when comparing to just two and half months ago. The painting on all exterior balconies are only a few floors away from being completed and the windows are nearly installed on all the penthouse units, completely enclosing the buildings.
Brickell Heights is 99% sold out with only 6 units remaining. The project is expected to be completed by early 2017.

The Brickell district of Miami has changed significantly since the 1980s when it was comprised mostly of financial buildings and low rise apartment buildings.
In the early 2000s, condos started popping up in the area and along Brickell Avenue. The recession hit in 2008 and building came to a halt in Miami. It wasn't until 2012 when Brickell City Centre started construction that the market picked up and more condos were added to the growing Miami skyline. In 2012, there were many empty lots scattered around Brickell. Those lots are now filled with condos such as Brickell City Centre, Brickell Heights, SLS Lux, SLS Brickell, My Brickell, 1100 Millecento, Bond at Brickell, Panorama Tower, 1010 Brickell, Brickell Flatiron and Solitair Brickell.
The Brickell skyline will only continue to change in the future with proposed condos in the works such as One Brickell, Edge on Brickell, 830 Brickell, Villa Magna and One Brickell City Centre.
Not only is Brickell experiencing a change, but also West Brickell, which is located West of the Metrorail tracks.

Fabián Burgos Mural
While construction progresses on the two Brickell Heights towers, the colorful mural along the building parking garage by artist Fabián Burgos is starting to go up on the North side.
The colorful façade is keeping in tune with other Arquitectonica designed buildings in Brickell such as the SLS Brickell and SLS Lux.
There are only 8 units left in Brickell Heights with prices starting at $849,000.
The two towers located next to Mary Brickell Village and Brickell City Centre are expected to be completed in early 2017.

Indigo Hotel Brickell
Since going vertical in at the beginning of this year, the Indigo Hotel in Brickell is about to reach the 8th floor of the 24 story building.
Groundbreaking on the hotel located at 145 SW 11th Street started in October 2015.

The SLS Brickell have begun testing the lights on the building the past few nights. The lighting on the tower illuminate during the night and gives Miami added color and vibrance to the skyline.
With the bright lights and new mural by artist Markus Linnenbrink, SLS Brickell is sure to be one of the most photographed buildings in Miami.
The SLS Brickell is only a few months away from completion as closings are planned for September 1st.
