With rapid urbanization over the decades, very little remains of the original character of Brickell. Brickell was originally platted for mansions and large homes by Mary Brickell, which thus led to the name "Millionaire's Row." With the growth of the city, especially in the 1970s onwards, Brickell's character began to change with the construction of high-rise office towers along Brickell Avenue, and high-rise residential towers in lower Brickell, south of SE 15th Road (Broadway). A commercial boom in the 1980s, brought mass construction of office towers to Brickell, and subsequent construction, would further change the neighborhood into the dense, urban, residential and commercial neighborhood it is today. Some of the historic buildings remaining in Brickell are:

• Brickell Mausoleum at Brickell Park, built in 1921

• Miami Circle, Tequesta Indian burial grounds, circa 310-10 AD

• Dr. James M. Jackson Office, first physician's office in Miami, 1905

• Southside School, 1900-1924

• St. Jude Catholic Church, 1946

• Fire Station No. 4, 1922
