Miami’s Brickell City Centre reports 32% sales increase over 2021


Brisk sales at Brickell City Centre in Miami’s financial district promise to rise with the addition of 15 new tenants this year.

Already helping add to the 32% rise in receipts over 2021 are Puttshack, Warby Parker, Sunglass Hut, Zadig & Voltaire, and Sugarfina.

Scheduled to open by year’s end are diamond retailer Blue Nile, fragrance brand Jo Malone London, fashion retailers Luca Faloni and Calzedonia, and Levi’s.

“We’re excited to kick off the holiday season with the addition of these exciting brands to The Shops,” said Swire VP of retail David Martin.. “After a successful year, where foot traffic is up 20% compared to 2021, we’re celebrating Brickell City Centre’s sixth anniversary by creating a compelling destination for Miami residents and national and international visitors alike.”

The 500,000-sq.-ft. shopping plaza is the centerpiece of a huge mixed-use development that re-populated the office-crammed Brickell district with tourists and shoppers when it opened in 2016.

Two luxury high-rises, the East hotel, and the City Centre added more than five million sq. ft. of high-end real estate to the neighborhood, which the Swire built for $1 billion dollars.

The Hong Kong-based company also signed a 100-year lease for the Metrorail Station in order to expand and maintain it in a fashion that suited the neighborhood’s many new residents and visitors.

“We came in at a good time, during the recession, when land costs were negotiable and Miami’s reputably difficult construction crews were amenable to working with Swire,” the developer’s U.S. President Kieran Bowers told Chain Store Age shortly after Brickell Centre opened.
