Brickell Key One: a 22-story waterfront condominium at 520 Brickell Key Drive.
Brickell Key One is a waterfront condominium at 520 Brickell Key Drive, on Brickell Key — the private island community connected to mainland Brickell by a single guarded bridge. Completed in 1982, the 22-story tower holds 316 residences, generally ranging from studios to four-bedroom layouts, with select larger penthouse-level residences beyond that range. This is a resale building, not a new development — buyers are purchasing a completed residence with more than four decades of operating history, not a future delivery date.
Developed by Swire Properties and designed by J. Scott Architecture, Brickell Key One was the first condominium tower built on the island, predating most of its neighbors by close to two decades and giving it established landscaping newer towers haven't had time to develop. This page explains what makes island living on Brickell Key distinct, how a potential Buyer Rebate may work, and points you to live listings on EAJordan.com.
What sets island living on Brickell Key apart.
Brickell Key One's appeal comes from its private island setting, established grounds, and waterfront position — not a promise of appreciation or rental income.
- Private island settingA single guarded bridge gives residents a quieter, more controlled arrival than the mainland.
- Waterfront promenadeA continuous walking path circles the island with views of the bay, the port, and the skyline.
- Established, mature groundsBuilt in 1982 as the island's first tower, with decades of landscaping newer buildings haven't developed yet.
- Walkable island conveniencesA marketplace, restaurants, and errands sit within a short walk, alongside the Mandarin Oriental Miami.

Value at Brickell Key One varies residence by residence.
Two Brickell Key One residences can carry very different value even on a comparable floor. Floor, line, and exposure matter — a high-floor bay or skyline view differs from a lower or angled residence facing the island's interior. Interior square footage ranges from roughly 450 square feet for studios to more than 4,000 square feet for larger four-bedroom and penthouse-level residences. Condition varies too, from unrenovated 1982-era finishes to fully modernized interiors, since residences have been renovated at different points across the building's history — treat all of this as unit-specific detail to confirm line by line.

Why two Brickell Key One residences can carry very different price tags.
Asking prices at Brickell Key One vary substantially, even within a similar floor plan. Line, floor, and exposure separate a lower-floor interior view from a high-floor bay or skyline residence on the same stack, and renovation quality, furnishings, and seller motivation add or subtract further value.
We don't publish a static "current price range" here, because active inventory at a 316-residence building shifts continuously and a fixed figure becomes outdated quickly. For current asking prices, available residences, and recent closed sales, use the live IDX listings linked further below — we'll help you interpret that data against the specific residence you're considering.

A private island a single bridge from downtown Miami.
Brickell Key sits just across a single guarded bridge from mainland Brickell, close enough to reach the city's restaurants and offices in minutes, yet quiet enough to feel like a different neighborhood entirely.
A video-monitored guard gate and single road on and off the island keep the pace noticeably calmer than mainland Brickell's dense corridor. The Mandarin Oriental, Miami occupies the island's southern tip, with waterfront dining and a spa open to the public, and the Courvoisier Centre office complex sits nearby. A small marketplace, dry cleaners, salon, and a handful of restaurants let residents handle everyday errands without leaving the island, and a shuttle connects to the Brickell Metrorail and Metromover station for commuters. Also compare Asia Brickell Key and Four Seasons Residences Brickell if you are evaluating Brickell-area condos with buyer rebate potential.
Verify current amenity operations and inclusions before you commit.
Brickell Key One's amenity reputation and its current operations are two different things, and only one is guaranteed to still be accurate today.
A building of this age has historically offered a waterfront pool, tennis courts, a fitness center, a spa, a party room, and 24-hour gated security, concierge, and valet — but hours, staffing, and what's bundled versus a la carte can change over time. We confirm what's actually included, and what carries an added fee, at the time of your search.
What buyers should investigate at Brickell Key One.
Buying into a 316-residence association that dates to 1982 calls for real diligence — Florida's post-Surfside milestone-inspection and structural reserve study requirements make an older tower's status especially worth confirming. Request the declaration, bylaws, financials, reserve funding, and any structural or milestone-inspection report.
The due-diligence period exists to protect you — use all of it.
Ask about capital projects, pending assessments, and litigation history. Confirm the current rental and pet policy, parking, and renovation rules directly with the association, since these can change. We don't provide legal, tax, or engineering advice, but we help you ask the right questions.
A working due-diligence checklist
- Declaration, bylaws & rules
- Budget & financial statements
- Reserve, structural & milestone reports
- Insurance & deductibles
- Capital projects & assessments
- Rental & tenant-approval policy
- Pet, parking & storage rules
- Renovation & permit history
- Financing, flood/wind & disclosures
What financed and cash buyers should each plan for.
Whether you're financing or paying cash, an established building like Brickell Key One brings a few extra items worth planning for early.
Lenders that finance condominiums review the association's budget, reserve funding, and insurance program as part of loan approval. Appraisal risk is worth discussing directly with your lender, since price varies meaningfully by line, floor, and condition. Confirm condo-specific lending eligibility with a qualified lender early.
Cash buyers should still expect a real due-diligence and closing timeline — skipping a lender doesn't mean skipping document review or title work. We don't provide lending, tax, or legal advice; our attorney-backed representation helps you ask the right questions at the right time.
