Carbonell

About Carbonell

Carbonell is one of Brickell Key’s most recognized addresses — a 40-story tower completed in 2005 with 284 residences ranging from studios to three-bedroom units. The building sits on the western edge of the island, offering direct views of Biscayne Bay, the downtown Miami skyline, and the Brickell corridor.

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.

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’s pet-friendly — which matters on Brickell Key, where that’s not a given — and the building has maintained its common areas well.

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.

Floor Plans & Unit Types

Studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units. Sizes range from approximately 550 SF (studios) to 2,400+ SF (3-bedroom). Verify current availability and exact SF with current MLS data.

Building Fees & Assessments

HOA fees vary by unit size. Verify current HOA 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. The building does not permit short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO). Typical long-term rental demand is strong given proximity to Brickell financial district and pet-friendliness. Verify current rental restrictions with the association before purchase.

All data should be verified with Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser (miamidade.gov/pa) and current MLS data before making any purchase decision.
