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.
