500 Brickell

500 Brickell is a twin-tower residential complex featuring two 130-meter-tall condominium buildings connected by a shared base. The towers sit above a 10-story podium with a central courtyard and house approximately 630 residential units total.

Construction of the complex began in April 2005 under Related Group of Florida and Portofino Group, with completion in 2008. The development was part of a wave of major residential projects that transformed Brickell during that decade.

The twin towers shape the modern face of Brickell and demonstrate how the neighborhood transformed from a business district into a residential area. Their connected design reflects this shift in the district's character.

The twin towers offer varied residential configurations with different sizes and modern interior finishes. Visitors can explore the public areas of the podium, including the illuminated courtyard beneath the distinctive circular opening in the connecting roof.

The towers are distinguished by a large circular opening cut through the connecting roof structure, which dramatically illuminates the courtyard below. This design feature creates a striking visual effect visible both from street level and from above.
