Around Brickell
According to Racked National, Bal Harbour Shops-spearheaded Brickell CityCentre and its 520,000 sq. ft. of retail
will attract Neiman Marcus and an Apple Store. The article,
referenced (to be fair) under “Rumermongering”, is admittedly speculative but based on “reliable” sources.
Swire has gained approval from the Miami Building Department for a thousand plus feet tall tower on Brickell Avenue.
This, along with plans for two other thousand feet tall towers,
has sparked a race to the clouds similar to New York City, in
the early 20th century.
According to CBRE’s Marketview Q4 2013:
•The Class A office sector in Brickell has a vacancy rate of
14.8% and there is 128,580 sq. ft. of Class A office space
under construction.
•The Retail sector is seeing a boom in construction in the Brickell market with 615K sq. ft. being added to the mix. Current occupancy is at 97.5% which is the highest in the SOFL market.
Alrededor De Brickell
Según Racked National, se rumora que Brickell CityCentre
y sus 520.000 pies cuadrados de espacio comercial atraerán
a Neiman Marcus y al Apple Store. Esta información es
especulativa todavía, pero está basada en fuentes “confiables”.
Swire obtuvo la aprobación del Departamento de Construcción
de Miami (Miami Building Department) para construir una
torre de más de mil pies de altura en la Avenida Brickell. Esto,
junto con los planes para construir otras dos torres de más de
mil pies de altura en el área de Brickell, ha dado inicio a una
carrera hacia las nubes similar a la que tuvo lugar en la ciudad
de Nueva York a principios del siglo XX.
Información sobre Brickell obtenida de CBRE Marketview Q4 2013:
•El sector de oficinas de clase A en Brickell tiene una tasa
de espacios vacantes del 14.8% y hay 128,580 espacios de
oficina clase A bajo construcción.
•El sector de ventas al por menor atraviesa un boom de construcción
en el mercado de Brickell con 615,000 pies cuadrados añadidos a
los existentes. La tasa de ocupación actual, es del 97.5%, la más
alta del mercado del Sur de la Florida.
