This Miami Island Came Close to Not Existing!

In this video, I do a walk-and-talk of Brickell Key's history which actually dates back to the 1890s. Brickell Key is an islands off Miami's Brickell neighborhood comprised of hotels, condos, offices and restaurants. Its waterfront offers great views of downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay.

Great video ! I lived in Miami in the early 1990’s and love the history of the city. The stories of the. Brickell’s and Julia Tuttle are amazing.

Favorite place in Miami, always wondered how it all started, thank you for sharing!

[@Hobbies305]

One of my favorite places in all of Miami. However, is hard to choose a place down here knowing there are always new places popping up whether it is in the design district, art district, financial district the beaches and even the suburbs!!

Wow i went last week and it was awesome , but at the end i coudnt give the island the complete go around because it was under construction and the walk side was closed!!

[@JoelFrancoVlogs]

Yeah I ran into construction too. That’s what led me to some parking garage near end of the video 😅

Thanks for the history of Brickell key. What brought me here was Walks and Wall Street channel that regularly records there usually in the evening. But he was highlighting recently the Mandarin Oriental twin towers that is going to be going up next year and tearing down the current one. Oh well I guess Mary Brickell missed out. Do you know how many acres there is there?

[@JoelFrancoVlogs]

Thanks for watching! Brickell Key is 44 acres total
