Brickell Key is a gated, man-made island located east of Brickell and connected to the mainland by the Brickell Key Drive Bridge. Brickell Key was developed entirely by Swire Properties, the same Hong Kong-listed, multinational corporation that recently developed Brickell City Centre - the massive, $1.05B mixed-use development in the center of Brickell. Swire Properties acquired Brickell Key in the late 1970s from Edward N. Claughton and then later began construction on Brickell Key's first condo tower, Brickell Key One, which was completed in 1982.
 
At the present time, Brickell Key is comprised of one office building called Courvoisier Centre, one 5-star hotel called the Mandarin Oriental, and 11 waterfront, Brickell Key condo developments: Asia, Brickell Key One, Brickell Key Two, Carbonell, Courts Brickell Key, Courvoisier Courts, Isola, One Tequesta Point, Two Tequesta Point, Three Tequesta Point, and St. Louis. The only condo project currently in development on Brickell Key is The Residences at Mandarin Oriental Miami, which will be developed on the last remaining waterfront parcel on the island .
 
The parameter of Brickell Key is marked by a 1.1-mile jogging path, which offers breathtaking views of the water. At its interior, the 44-acre, triangular-shaped island has a gourmet market, dry cleaners, a beauty salon, a restaurant, and a children's playground.
 
Brickell Key is just blocks from Brickell Miami, including the shops, restaurants, and nightlife at Mary Brickell Village and Brickell City Centre. By car, Brickell Key is just 5 minutes from Downtown Miami, 15 minutes from South Beach, and 25 minutes from the Miami International Airport.
