About Carbonell
Carbonell occupies the northwestern corner of Brickell Key at 901 Brickell Key Boulevard, completed in 2005 by Swire Properties and designed by J. Scott Architecture. The 40-story tower holds 284 residences ranging from studios to four-bedroom layouts, with nine units per floor served by four passenger elevators and one freight elevator.
The building is named for the Cuban modernist sculptor Manuel Carbonell, and an original bronze work by the artist stands at the entrance. Its corner position produces panoramic views spanning the Miami River, Biscayne Bay, downtown Miami, and the surrounding islands. The unit mix skews toward larger floor plans by Brickell Key standards, making Carbonell a popular choice for buyers who want real living space rather than just a pied-à-terre — corner units on upper floors are among the most sought-after on the island.
Amenities
What Carlos Says
Carbonell is a solid all-around choice for buyers who want proven build quality, a manageable HOA, and strong rental demand. It allows pets for owner-occupants — tenants may not keep pets, worth weighing when you think about the tenant pool — and the building has maintained its common areas well, including a recently renovated pool deck and lobby.
The trade-off: it’s one of the busier buildings on the island in terms of foot traffic, and the lobby experience isn’t as boutique as Asia or Isola. For buyers focused on investment yield, Carbonell consistently performs well in the rental market.
Building Fees & Assessments
Monthly maintenance ranges from approximately $876 to $5,806 depending on unit type, per the 2026 proposed budget; most unit types run about $1,345 to $3,628, since the ends of the range are single units. The range may not include separate Master Association charges. Verify current amounts via the association before making any offer. Always request the most recent financial statements and reserve fund status.
Rental Potential
Carbonell allows long-term rentals, with Board approval, a one-year minimum lease, max one lease per year, and an application fee up to $100 per applicant. The building does not permit short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO). Pets are only permitted for owner-occupants — one dog or up to two cats (cats must be spayed and declawed), no pit bulls, rottweilers, chows, or Dobermans; tenants may not keep pets. Verify current rental restrictions with the association before purchase. We found no waiting period after purchase in the documents on file.
