About Brickell Key Miami Florida
Brickell Key is an artificial triangular island
at the mouth of the Miami River in Miami,
Florida, United States. It is in Miami's
Brickell neighborhood. Brickell Key is
occasionally referred to as "Claughton Island",
in honor of Edward Claughton who purchased the
land that forms Brickell Key today. Brickell Key
real estate can be traced to 1896, when Henry
Flagler had a 9-foot (2.7 m) deep channel dug
from the mouth of the Miami River. In the
process, Mr. Flagler created an off-shore
property composed of two small islands. In 1943,
a real estate investor, Edward N. Claughton, Sr.
acquired the Brickell Key islands and eventually
purchased additional bay bottom land to combine
them to a 44-acre (180,000 m2) triangle-shaped
tract separated from the mansions of Miami's
fashionable Brickell Avenue by only a few
hundred feet of water.
In the late 1970s, Swire Properties purchased
most of the island Brickell Key real estate
property from the Claughton, and began to put
into place a master plan that would ultimately
transform it into one of the most distinctive
island communities in the world

Desire for waterfront property and Brickell's
emergence as Miami's cosmopolitan center have
encouraged considerable development and even
grander plans for the future. Certainly the
significance of being the second largest booming
international financial center in the United

downtown area and lure new residents and
business alike.
Brickell just as diversity has always been the
key to Miami’s growth and success, so too is it
