“Brickell has long been an office, condo and hotel district with a scarcity in retail,” said Debora Overholt, senior retail director at Swire Properties. “Our newly announced luxury retailers are coming from the world’s top fashion capitals because they understand that Brickell City Centre will position them at the forefront of millions of international visitors, residents and daytime workers seeking quality brands.”

“Miami’s retail market is seeing an urban evolution thanks to the city’s rapid growth and increasing density,” said Courtney Lord, vice president of leasing for Whitman Family Development. “Brickell City Centre will meet the demand of a densely populated neighborhood that is currently underserved.”

“Brickell City Centre is the trailblazer of today’s modern shopping experience,” said Sharon Polonia, executive vice president of leasing at Simon. “It will not only offer shoppers beloved household U.S. brands, but well-established luxury and premium brands and newcomers that are boldly changing the fashion and design landscape.”

The shopping center will seamlessly connect with Miami’s key transportation nodes. Swire Properties is incorporating a Miami Metromover stop that exits directly into the shopping center’s third floor to allow easy and convenient access. The shopping center will ease vehicle movement with an expansive two story underground carpark that traverses streets in the lower level.
